Again... why would they redesign their boards when they are simply removing the drives?

 

They're literally a couple connectors and an eject button.... nothing worth redesigning a board over...

Well it is also expected since MS no longer respects their Xbox customers

Still, back then we got stuff like the PS2 Slim, Xbox 360 Slim. MS is cheap, greedy, clueless and desperate now as it shows

Because they could decrease the size by another 40% and instantly not only validate the price but actually cause a great deal of interest. 

yeah, a slimmer version of the S would be pretty cool, if one were to stick to the lower end route.

No Remij is right, logistically it makes sense, financially it makes sense but on the back of it it doesn't create any level of hype or real interest for the product. They could have damn near scaled it down to the size of the Wii U, but that would take significant investment, a lot of R&D and redesign costs, new manufacturing and fabrication etc.

 

This makes the most sense, but that would have been a lot better image wise for them.

Sometimes it's better not to do a half-arsed job at all. This SKU has no reason to exist

lol no.  Why the fuck would they bother?  A new shell isn't going to cause a great deal of interest.  That ship has sailed...  They're doing what they can with extra inventory.

One S isn't worth a fart in the wind at this point.  

[JonDnD 2,607]

Hey Phil , what are we gonna do with these 2 million Xbox S sitting in the factory?

 

Take the DRIVE OUT , make a shitty commercial that owns us and sell it for a price that's too high 

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

there's no need to make it smaller. this is the Xbox slim, remember.  

 

The point is, why are they wasting time on this ABSOLUTE SHIT when still there's no damned games. WHY can you flood the market with 5 pieces of new hardware but still NO FUCKING GAMES!!

 

What the fuck are you spending money on? More consoles, more PC exclusives, More PC ports, games for Nintendo... Jesus christ MS, wake up! Your customers are revolting and dropping like flies, everyone hates your asses and still you pull this shit. No one wants all-digital. you got fucking BURIED at the start of this gen because of shit like this and still you push.

 

INEPT fucking braindead ass Phil Spencer and his clown posse.  

 

 

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

LMAO MS removed the vid because of the downvotes  

[kaz 2,439]

   ms is fucking stupid 

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

LMAO THEY EDITED OUT HALO 5 SPLIT SCREEN IN THE NEW VID WITH MCC FOOTAGE  

Who is running this division. who the fuck is this dumb, HOW IN THE HELL IS EVERYTHING YOU DO PIE-IN-THE-FACE MEME TIER SELF RAPE?!?! 

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

NEW version already 2:1.5 dislike  Halo 3 footage LMAO

 

Your whole division, PR team, marketing, Phil needs to be fired. Nothing short of shitcanned. Phil shouldn't even be sweeping floors for god's sake. He needs to be forcibly removed from Redmond HQ and never let back in.

 

Another PR disaster and laughing stock status for MS. Great job.

 

[kaz 2,439]

ms went completely insane, nothing is sacred anymore.

 

the best part is they are actively seeking the embarressment, they want everyone to see how hard they fail 

 

nobody gives a shit about some disc drive like what the fuck  that stupid video for a $50 price drop for removing the fucking disc drive, nobody cares  

[Goukosan 2,249]

so no one at MS looked at the Acronyms in the Marketing department. 

 

Xbox1 SAD edition... 

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

XBONE SAD EDITION

 

300k a year salary for the dumbass behind this shit  WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON @ REDMOND

 

Somebody, please tell me how the fuck you can be this bad @ gaming! HOW???

[kaz 2,439]

"sir, we don't have any games. we need games."

 

"nah, just scrap the disc drive and drop it by $50... everyone will love it".

Remij was saying that the PS5 and next gen would be digital only. Thankfully he didn't end up right.
