You forgot the multiple exclamation marks!!!

Microsoft is slowly breaking these sterotypes.

 

Blue Screen Of Death

Red Ring of Death

Clunky interfaces (still have a lot of work to do)

Quirky and buggy (honestly it is not that bad, but in a corporate environment, it gets really frustrating)

 

I give it another decade before these stereotypes really start to die down. Videos like this might cease to be funny?

 

I for one think Microsoft deserves these stereotypes. Maybe they will want to break them.

Did Dovella post something like this, or is it just preemptive? Smiley

 

 

edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize there was a video in there too (work blocks youtube)

I think you're taking it a little too seriously. It was just a joke, not a serious dig.

 

Hell, even MS likes to take the p**s out of themselves every so often.

 

It is serious to a point. It would not be funny if it wasn't based on some truth.

Okay, when MS comes up with a phone the size of a housebrick, I'll believe you.

I don't really find these types of things funny, because there's little truth in the stereotypes to begin with. Did Microsoft ever release a product like the Fune? Please don't say first generation Zunes.

I love the Zune! But Microsoft does tend to release more bulky less streamlined products. This is obviously an exaggeration...

The late 90's/early 00's called, they want their dull 'microsoft makes lame products' joke back.. on the grounds that since microsoft has proven to make cool hardware.. lest we not forget the 360 really is now the king of consoles and destroyed sonys long standing stagnent 'just HOW long can we keep the ps2 going' strategy.. although I must admit there was a morbid sense of curiousity wanting to watch sony resuscitate the ps2 every year..

Oh please, I need to ask everyone to _know_ damn.. here was me thinking if I had enough friends who had them and felt the same way, and various consensuses online (ign, gttv, gamespot, yadda yadda yadda) that would be enough.. the wii is a fad, not a console.. and whilst it fads away slowly the real consoles are readying themselves to make the wii obsolete by unfadding the fad.. after all, fads die once they peak.

I'm sure your friends are all hardcore gamers. But my mother in law doesn't even know what an Xbox is and she has a Wii. The world isn't full of hardcore gamers. Wii is designed for the world.

 

If you look at what is the best selling PC game right now: The Sims 3. I think casual gamers are were the money as at. Not BOOM HEADSHOT gamers.

 

You keep predicting the doom and gloom of Nintendo, but they pwned Atari, the pwned Sega, and I think it's inevitable they'll pwn Microsoft and Sony too. (Actually they already are: the only reason Xbox/PS3 still exist is because Microsoft and Sony aren't video game companies). This is a company who knows how to make money from video games, not just make them.

Wii Sports and Wii Fit are the only two games my mother-in-law owns. None the less, that's a win for Nintendo. Even a console with 0 games attached is a win. Because they don't sell consoles at a loss like the others do.

I'm not predicting doom, once the fad ends it'll just be a dull little console, and no- none of them are hardcore gamers.. we just don't play homosexual games like the sims.. and yea casual gaming is a big market but hmm, nah the wii just aint that.. the wii adverts say this is a sit down family console.. and interesting angle sure its powered their fad.. just how easy can it be for a kid to convince their 'rents for a wii considering the price and oh mummy you can play it too.. uh sure- I remember playing monopoly once or twice with my entire close family.. we even sat down at christmas with the wii and 'the family' proceeded to wave the remote around for 2 minutes, laugh and then go on to do more important things.. such fill in a crossword puzzle.

 

The commercials paint this pretty picture of this amazing console that spreads across all generations, but the reality is we'd rather sit watching the tv and doing crossword puzzles.

Those aren't really worth getting a machine for. The only thing worth playing on Wii is Zelda imo. I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I don't like the shoot-em-up type of games you find on Xbox ... I like games from Civilization, to Monkey Island, to Lemmings, to Ultima, to SimCity, to Tetris. In other words, I like fun games. Not hardcore, just fun.

 

The Sims is a nice concept game, but it gets incredibly boring after playing it for a couple of days days. Really really boring.
