Aaron Greenberg Pokes Fun at Sony by Responding to Play PS4 Early With Taco Bell Campaign

Greenberg: "Nice to see fans playing #XboxOne before it launches, no Taco Bell required ;-)

[daggertoes83]

But... I like Taco Bell.

[xHeavYx]

Right, because playing a few minutes on a tour is better than winning a free console. I get it's a joke, but he needs to try harder, I mean, people already tried both consoles long ago in different conferences

[-Foxtrot]

Recently this week

http://www.vg247.com/2013/1...

[Abash]

Its nice that Sony doesnt poke fun at needing to shovel down bags of Doritos and gulp down Mountain Dew to up the chances of winning an Xbox One.... so why is Greenberg poking fun at the five buck box Taco Bell contest to win a PS4?

The guy is so unprofessional and a plain hypocrite.

[s8anicslayer]

These guys are so dumb it's blinding, The A & A boys (Albert & Aaron) really don't know when to shut up. I mean that is so childish and I find that their way of trying to build momentem is like that of a young boy telling a girl he likes her...Awkward!

[malokevi]

Its a joke... lol. With all the trolling Kaz & the Sony CEOs do, you think you Sony faithful would be able to stomach a little jibe in your direction.

Evidently not!

[_QQ_]

relax man these people are enjoying their console of choice, does it really hurt you that bad to see other people enjoying xboxone?

[P0werVR]

Taco Bell....YUCK! PS4 HElL YEAH!

But why Taco Bell?!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Heavy an can you just enjoy next gen altogether regardless of console?

[JokesOnYou]

It happens...I just which they were funnier.
http://n4g.com/news/1337201...

[UnHoly_One]

Heavy you really need to get over yourself.

If this was the other way around and it was Shuhei Yoshida making a joke like this, you'd all be in here circle jerking about how cool he is and how amazing Sony is, and blah, blah, blah...

Seriously, just give it a rest.

[xHeavYx]

@Unholy
Funny you tell me to get over myself, yet you have your share of comments on PS4 articles. Hypocrite much?
http://n4g.com/news/1370251...

[UnHoly_One]

I didn't say you shouldn't be posting on this article. Post wherever you want.

I'm just saying that when Sony takes jabs at MS, you guy all love it and kiss their ass, but when it goes the other way it's terrible.

There is certainly a hypocrite here, but it isn't me.

[ABizzel1]

Says the guy who's console is on the back of Doritos bags giving a chance to win a console every 2 minutes.

[nukeitall]

I love how, Abash says Sony doesn't do this and gets 4 times the agrees to disagrees. Then JokesOnYou show proof of the oppsite and gets 11 times disagrees to 1 agree!

n4g is a Sony fangirl heaven!

[NewMonday]

everyone loves a funny jab

thing is when someone in a losing team dose it just looks pathetic.

Greenberg just hit a new low

[ShinMaster]

@ UnHoly_One

When Sony pokes fun, it makes sense! This does not.
It's not that PS fans can't take a joke.

There is a huge difference between playing the XBO once for a few minutes at some event and winning a PS4 console for you to own.

@ nukeitall

Why are you still here then!?
It's obviously not true, you just can't see past your bias.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Heavy I notice you can't properly back up your statements. Lately I see you scrambling through somebodies comment history searching for some hypocritical statement of sorts. Are your comments that absurd that you can't back up your own logic? Wow, that's a first.

That's weak, if you can't take it don't dish it honestly

@Abash http://kotaku.com/sony-take...

If Aaron Greenberg is unprofessional then. Shuhei Yoshida and Andrew House are just "unprofessional as Aaron then.

Don't start that hypocrite talk when Sony through mud first.

[ZodTheRipper]

This joke is not in the position to make jokes.

[xHeavYx]

@Angelic
Another sad Xbox fan. If you cared to check my first comment, you would see all the facts I need. But let me explain it to you in simpler terms.
This "Joker" makes a joke stating that it's better to play on an Xbox for a couple minutes than winning a free next gen console. He seems to forget that people already got a taste of both consoles a long time ago.
But wait, you may need even simpler terms, let me try this to see if you get it.
"Herp, derp, derp derp, lol herp"

[AgentSmithPS4]

He has the slimy distorted face of a troll so it's no surprise that he'd say something like this.

[Army_of_Darkness]

But I loooove chilly cheese burritos!!.... damn, now I'm craving some.

[Mystogan]

You can win an Xbox one with Doritos and Mountain too.

What he means is you don't need anything to play Xbox One early.

Of course you don't think the joke is funny because its about the PS4.

[ShinMaster]

@ Mystogan

There's a difference between playing an XBO once for a few minutes and winning a PS4 to own.

Maybe it would have been funnier if it made sense.

[Pogmathoin]

Guys, PS4 is clearly a better taco bell combo. If xheavy says it is, it must be true. He is after all a top class sony fanboy/troll.... Pay attention to what he says...

[scott182]

When Sony pokes fun at Micro they actually make good, funny points. Microsoft are idiots when it comes to PR and idiots when it comes to making jabs, neither are successful... Sony is doing an awesome job advertising their product, you jelly Greenberg?

[Gozer]

So the guy made a joke. You people getting all defensive need to lighten up. It makes you look like an obsessed insane person.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ nukeitall

And only an Xbox fanwarrior would take notice to a number of disagrees to agrees and act like it matters.

at least Sony fanboys aren't supporting an anti-consumer corporation.

Aaron Greenberg has been revealing himself for years as a manipulative, trolling employee and is the representation of unprofessionalism, but of course over at Xbox that seems to be a requirement. Don't think you can say the same about Sony employees.

[rainslacker]

@malokevi

Difference is that Sony's tweets and trolling are actually funny and sometimes pretty clever.

I don't know what this was...hell I've seen you make better troll comments than this.

[Death]

Sony not anti-consumer? Not even a little? Haven't seen many companies change formats over the life of a device. UMD's didn't last as long as I had hoped. Luckily Sony had a great solution and gave me the opportunity to re-purchase the games for the UMDless PSPGo! Same goes for b/c in PS3's. Rip it from the console and then charge to download it instead. Great move. Mandatory Plus if you want to play online next gen? Awesome pro-consumer move. Atleast they kept their promise with "Full HD" gaming on the PS3. All Vita jokes aside, atleast they didn't go with another anti-consumer over priced proprietary format for memory on the system. Would have sucked to pay Microsoft prices for memory cards when so many cheap alternatives exist. Yes, thank you little baby Jesus for a great company that launched a game console at $600 and told me to get another job if I wanted one. Hell, I'm still waiting for the $1200 Jack promised if I could find a PS3 on store shelves for more than 5 minutes. The one thing Sony atleast nailed as pro-consumer was protecting my personal information and credit card numbers in a secure encrypted file on their servers. Could you imagine if they failed to encrypt it and left a hacker steal it from their servers? The only think that could possibly make it worse is if they waited a week to tell me. Now that would be anti-consumer. Kind of like kicking me off the free online unless I opted out of a class action lawsuit for doing it. Now that would be classless and anti-consumer.

Any of this ring a bell?

[UltimateMaster]

Microsoft is copying Sony.
Sony were going on tour to campus promoting the PlayStations 3/4/Vita.
Hell, they had that since PS2, but they stopped it for a while and then resumed it.

[miyamoto]

Greenberg is alive? wow!

Whatever happened to PS3 will never outsell Xbox 360?

[Hicken]

I am literally- as in, like an out-of-body experience- beside myself, trying to figure out how those comments by Angelic, malokevi, and Unholy got "Well Said."

malokevi's comment isn't well said because, well, it just isn't. It's not that nobody here can take a joke. It's that the joke wasn't funny, and is actually hypocritical, given their promotion with Doritos and Mountain Dew.

Unholy's first comment is the same. It's trying to draw a parallel between funny jokes and unfunny ones. Oh, and assuming another user's reactions. The second comment is essentially a continuation of the false parallel from the first, meaning it's not very well-said, at all.

And Angelic's comment starts off by saying Heavy lacks facts, yet disregards his original comment, which is fairly factual: winning a console early is FAR better than just getting to play it for a while at a traveling event; both companies are doing this, so it's not like it's really a point in their favor; the joke rather falls flat due to Microsoft doing a very similar promotion. The comment then continues by implying that a rather critical PR message is on the same level as an unfunny, unofficial tweet.

NONE of these comments is Well Said. Yet, somehow, on this Sony fanboy haven, they all get bubbled up.

Does this make sense to anybody else? Cuz I don't get it.

Again- and this is specifically to all you MS fanboys bubbling each other up for saying stupid crap- NOBODY IS UPSET AT WHAT WAS SAID.

It just wasn't funny.

[MazzingerZ]

His comment is funny but too local to make the whole internet xbox community to celebrate

I live in scandinavia, no taco bell here nor X1 this year until "sometime" 2014...I would like to ask him if Xbox fans here think that is funny... too late to ask, many getting a PS4 next month

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Death

You are so desperately trying to compare Microsoft's disgusting planned actions, to Sony's circumstantial situations. My lord loyalism at its finest. Don't try and drag down Sony to any sort of comparable level of conscious anti-consumer measures taken by a corporation who wants the gaming industry to bow to their control.

1) You might as well call sony anti-consumer for adding a new storage format each generation if you're going to call them the same for changing UMDs to game cards.

2) PSP-GO had no pretention about it. it was a digital-only market choice. Buy a physical PSP-3000, or buy a PSP go. Anti-consumer? hmmmm.

3) The removal of backwards compatibility would be anti-consumer, IF consumers didn't have the option to play their older games either (A) on a PS3 that already exists on the market and (B) an older console native to those games. They removed the Emotion Engine to reduce costs so that the price would be more appealing for who? Consumers.

4) Ripping BC from the console was a fiscal responsibility. To this is was a malicious choice is ridiculously stupid. But not an unexpected conclusion from an Xbox fanboy. And selling it is again... a choice. They bothered sprucing up the games and adding value to the package, and many gamers found new series they had not played before. There are certainly a couple i'm grateful for.

5) I'm sorry it hurts you that Plus offers so much value off the bat. I'm sorry that every other feature is not behind its paywall just for the sake of greed and control. Plus being a requirement of online play is one way of Sony ensuring they can continue to offer a ridiculously high-bandwidth service for their gamers for a console that is designed to be constantly uploading and downloading. I'm sorry Sony has not been charging us for dedicated servers for many years, and the other company has been charging for P2P for over a decade.

6) "Full HD" - a vision that didn't come to fruition. Luckily lots of games are native 1080p, but i'll be damned if lack of foresight is anti-consumerism.

7) Why even mention "Vita jokes"? The memory card situation is ridiculous, and any price cut is a welcome one. I've scorned Sony about things like this before, but is not an overarching theme of their willingness to screw over a consumer base. Whereas, Microsoft are anti-consumer at their core of how they do business.

[DigitalRaptor]

8) $600 console? How much less is the Xbox One? $100. What drove up PS3's cost? Blu-ray, a standard that is now widely-accepted. How much were Blu-ray players at the time? $1000+. Was Blu-ray a CORE PS3 installation? Yes.

Xbone is a $500 console. What drives up its cost? Kinect, a device that hasn't been able to justify itself since its release. Is Kinect a CORE Xbone installation? No. It was required for anti-consumer purposes, until they were forced to say it wasn't a requirement, and they're still force bundling in a non-required requirement.

9) "Second job". the price was set in stone. It's proven to not be anti-consumer, but all this comment was, was rubbing salt into a wound that may or may not exist. Clearly that wound was wide open for you.

10) "I'm still waiting for the $1200 Jack promised"- Good god you're bitter. Anti-consumer? hahahahahahha.

11) "Credit card details". Not sure if serious, or being ironic. Sony did what any other company does in the event of a hack. They plug a leak, they deal with the security problems and implications. Then when they are sure they have the information to deliver, they tell their consumers. Now since the credit card information was encrypted like you said, it made no difference by telling us a week later. Not really sure what point this was trying to deliver.
-

So to conclude, I'm not saying Sony has never done anything questionable, but to compare the actions of both companies is night and day. You'd have to be a fool to see any different. And you'd have to be even more of a moron to support Microsoft based on their actions over the past 6 months alone.

[rammstein91]

in that coferences,xbone consoles are found out to be custom gaming pcs,not even genuine console itself..even microsoft doesnt rely on their own consoles

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[pixelsword]

Aw, Greenburg was just having a bit of fun.

Hey, I wonder if his name had anything to do with the color of the Xbox?

[Death]

@Raptor,

So what you are saying is everything Sony does is just circumstance and not controlled by Sony and everything Microsoft does is anti-consumer? Makes perfect sense. You are right about Sony not ripping b/c out of scorn, they did it to keep PS2 sales going since that was where their profit came from. If you were a PS2 owner that bought a PS3 without b/c and you needed to replace your PS2, you probably weren't feeling the pro-consumer buzz. No doubt b/c is not cheap for manufacturers, but anti-consumer Microsoft kept plugging away at it when Sony threw in the towel.

I appreciate you apologizing for Plus "hurting" me, but I happily subscribe since I have a PSP, Vita and PS3 that I use it on. It's cool that you drink the Sony Kool Aid and wave your pom-poms, but that doesn't change the fact that neither company is pro or anti-consumer like many want to believe. Microsoft launched a console that was plagued with issues, but they also spent over a billion to fix it by extending the warranty at no charge for three years. Sony launched a console that was way over priced and ripped out hardware and features to make it more affordable. I say the support by Microsoft was a good thing, you thank Sony for making the PS3 more affordable so more people could enjoy Sony's greatness. Makes no difference to me, but please don't tell me Sony is looking out for it's customers while Microsoft is not. Both are simply selling their products.

[zeal0us]

That crap gives me gas and send me to the toilet.

On the other hand MS won't be touring in any city near me because guess we're not important like Philadelphia Atlanta, Dallas,Phoenix, San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Guess I'm in a lose-lose situation

[xHeavYx]

You can always buy a box and give it to someone in need after you get a snapshot of the code. You can keep the soda if you want, lol

[Lord_Sloth]

Because you are weak. Real men can handle the Bell!!!

[malokevi]

They canceled Toronto because of Thanks Giving. Needless to say, I went on a killing spree (in GTA)

[nukeitall]

Taco bell is where I go for my "authentic mexican cuisine".

It is awesome!

However, I like Rubio's better.

[scott182]

I love Taco hell

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Dagger trust me, most people like Taco Bell.

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

I like Taco Bell too... but I'll always say.. Del Taco>Taco Bell.

[NexGen]

Del taco nearly killed me lmao. At least I know when I'll be heading to the bathroom with taco bell.

[thejigisup]

Since I've moved out to ny I've missed del taco sooo much

[NinjaonHiatus]

As a person from ks with no del taco but having had del taco i envy your choice in taco consumption.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

Doesnt everybody? MS just keeps on adding to the longgggg list of both passive aggressive AND extremely obvious shots fired at sony. dont you guys understand by now that talking this much trash is making you look TERRIBLE?

i get that a jokes a joke, but with all the real smack talking MS has done about sony over the past few months, i think its just a good idea for them to keep their mouths shut.

[gameonbro]

lol you beat to the punch.

[Aceman18]

I do too whenever I feel like having it.

I bought big box twice but lost both times :(

If you're gonna take a jab at someone at least make it funny aaron Lol.

[Sly-Lupin]

My response was: I'd rather NOT eat Taco Bell than get a free PS4.

[Me-Time]

Taco bell is Not Real. It's durritos with crap meat. Tastes good, but your body hates you.

Instead, eat a homegrown tomatoe (with a little salt with each bite). It's gooood!

[Old_Prodigy]

He looks like he gets his fair share of taco bell as well.

[Anon1974]

MS makes fun of Sony for their Taco Bell promo? Yeah, because that's something they'd never Dew.

[buynit]

Lol good One!

[sinjonezp]

I see what you did ther......ok that's old now anyway I think this guy is one of those douche of the universe candidates and like one of our n4gers said, they are having a tour just to let people get a few minutes hands on. Sony is flat out giving systems away. Its sad that - that's the best jab you can come with. I wanted the new Xbox at one point. unfortunately, every PR blunder has made me reconsider.

[HugoDrax]

Hahaha N4G is a Sony site. How are you all saying Microsofts jab at Sony is terrible, but Sony has been taking Jabs since E3? Then you guys are talking about PR Blunders as if Microsoft gives a damn lol. They're still going to sell millions of consoles regardless if you're a Sony/Microsoft fanboy.

Like you guys are arguing over Taco Bell, Mountain Dew, Doritos lololol. This is a gaming site, who gives a damn about which franchise Microsoft or Sony decided to Sponsor?

@ultimatemaster

"Microsoft is copying Sony.
Sony were going on tour to campus promoting the PlayStations 3/4/Vita.
Hell, they had that since PS2, but they stopped it for a while and then resumed it."

Right! Because console promotions began with Sony? Wrong on so many levels. When I was in undergrad in 2000-2001, Microsoft gave my dormitory a XBOX console two weeks before launch. The console sat in our dorm living room, for us to try out. Then they returned two weeks later to retrieve the console before launch. They also left boxes of XBOX t shirts for us, thus every freshman was wearing XBOX t shirts on campus lol, free shirts why not? Anyhow I guess you think a company who hasn't turned a profit in half a decade, has more marketing funds than one of the most successful companies in the world.

After that comment I think I'm done with the so called gamers on this site, it's full of fanboys who worship companies as if it's a religion lol. While you fanboys continue to argue over which console is superior, I'll be enjoying all three come 11/15 & 11/22. Definitely will be having too much fun to partake in unnecessary fanboy debates. Grow up will you N4G? Happy Gaming gamer, less than 40days now.......

[Anon1974]

@ AuricGoldfinger. Wow. That was quite the rant. You must be thirsty after that. I bet Aaron Greenberg could recommend a beverage that could quench that thirst.

[dale_denton]

what about doritos and mountain dew?

[kenshiro100]

@malokevi : There's a difference between cracking a joke and trying to be funny, only to fail miserably.

[pwnsause_returns]

but you didnt come out to talk about DRM and help your boy Major Nelson out back in June...

wow... so you come out of your bridge now

this guy came out at the wrong time to be making fun of their competition who has severly slammed them since February...

[TheFallenAngel]

Lol so true. This dude only comes out with cheap shots. He left major nelson take all the crap lol.

[TechMech2]

It's a company. They can do what they want. No company thinks, "how will gamers view this", they'd be out of jobs in two weeks.

[jessupj]

Well since gamers are their income source I'd imagine every single decision is met with "how will gamers view this?".

They'd be out of jobs in 2 hours if they didn't.

But it's apparent MS thought like you, thinking they could do whatever they like. Look how that worked out for them.

[TechMech2]

@jessupj
Both ms and Sony have bigger things to deal with than the gaming community. Their profits rely on other tech. Both Sony and Microsoft are attempting to create home entertainment systems rather than game systems. Appealing to the masses is more important for profitis than making gamers happy.

[majiebeast]

Last i checked the taco bell promo gives away free PS4's, how is that the same as a tour. Microsoft personal try to take a jab but only show that they are complete idiots.

Lol that reaction to Aaron Greenberg by an obese 16 year old he liked it guess we know who Microsoft is targeting.

[Riderz1337]

*Cough* Mountain Dew and Doritos *Cough*

http://image.noelshack.com/...

[Back-to-Back]

Yea in MS's eyes its better to play a system earlier rather than get the console for free before it launches.

Wow, Microsoft of all people shouldn't be making fun of corporate sponsors lol.

Wuuut!!

Just spat out my Mountain Dew all over my Doritos.

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

lol

its advertisement for the console im sure sony has its own tours as well...

another thing is PS4 doesnt need a free copy of fifa 14 to get its preorder up, it just happens... sad microsoft sad

[Trekster_Gamer]

Sad they are giving away FIFA?
What's sad is another Xbox One thread that is already being trolled by Sonybots...

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

thats funny Greenberg is the troll here.. lol im trolling back

[thekhurg]

If this is a Xbox One thread, why is it on the PS4 page?

[_QQ_]

So MS can't offer cool stuff to their Fans??

[HeavenlySnipes]

It was a joke, why are people here so offended lmao

[PFFT]

Cause he is poking fun at Sony.
You know thats a big no no here at N4PSG.

[christocolus]

omg...i read through most of these comments..all i can say is wow..some fanboys are huge hypocrites and sore loosers..im sorry to say..you are pissed about ms poking fun at sony but its ok for sony to do so.and your reasons are-
.ms is on the loosing side
.with sony its funnier
.xbx is lame
.ms needs to be quiet cos since e3 theyv been on a downhill
but this is ok?..

http://n4g.com/news/1337201...

damn... are you guys kids?you are embarrasing yourselves shamelessly.grow up..its such attitude that got the toys r us video pulled down..does sony pay you guys?..alot of older and mature gamers on this site refuse to post comments cos of this type of crap..you guys behave like spoilt ,ignorant kids....its just so pathetic..sonys been doing same but xbx fans dont make so much fuss about it ....imo greenberg,larry,the phils and penello are all great guys but i dont have to worship them unlike most fans here who worship sony execs and wish s yoshida was their dad or their president..iv actuallly seen a comment from a ps fan saying such.... you guys can hate all you want it wont change anything...you make others sick with your hypocracy

[Silly gameAr]

Blah blah blah Sony fanboys blah.

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

1 bubble soon pffft

[rainslacker]

@Christ

I'm not pissed he made the comment. I don't think most people are either. Maybe a couple but whatever.

It's just not a very funny or clever troll, and it's rather hypocritical of him to say something when MS has it's own giveaway promotion going on with another company. I mean if, as a company, you're going to troll your competition, at least don't do it on something that you yourself are doing. It just makes them look silly.

[-Foxtrot]

It wasn't a very good one that's why, you know when a comedian tries too hard...yeah it's like that

[Majin-vegeta]

Like this? http://youtu.be/iPxNcdZFCWE

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Nobody is offended. They're joking on a corny joke. Gihugant difference.

[kenshiro100]

Because what he said made no sense at all.

[Godmars290]

Aren't they doing a Mountain Dew thing which is already a joke with them?

[LostDjinn]

I thought this guy was dead. Guess he's just been staying out of the way.

[majiebeast]

He only comes out around NPD time the rest of the month he stays under his bridge.

[LostDjinn]

It's been a while since I've even seen him do that. I mean at one point he was everywhere, like diarrhea in a bath tub. Then it got to the point where the reaction to him was so adverse it'd turn people off the topic just by having him be part of it. Now he's back.

What's changed?

He's still the same guy and he'll still get the same response. I honestly don't understand what MS are thinking sometimes. How does someone with such a damaged rep continue to be the face of anything?

[Back-to-Back]

A wild Greenburg appears......

[PaulFiend]

Yeah, how funny... *claps slowly* /sacrasm

[DigitalRaptor]

Oh hypocritical, lying, manipulative Microsoft. How i've missed you.

... OH WAIT.

[Majin-vegeta]

I wouldn't be talking cuz SOny is currently.

If only the Sony logo was kaz hirais face.

[TheFallenAngel]

But will it be mine if I play it early? At least withe taco bell I know it will be mine *if* I win.

[Mr_Luke]

I see GreenTurd is still an idiot. Oh well... if, according to him, to play some minute and to get the console itself are the same thing, who am i to go against GreenTurn?

[Trekster_Gamer]

Typical troll reply.. Mindless Sonybot.

[hankmoody]

The guy makes an admittedly corny little joke and the thread gets moist with butthurt tears. The reactions I'm seeing to this are ridiculous. After all the hate the Xbox One has gotten from the Sony Camp, one cheesy little retort makes all you guys get THIS upset? Sheesh.

[Kayant]

Looool ikr it's funny to see these companies troll each other tbh :).....

[Majin-vegeta]

I don't mind M$ poking fun at Sony like this.Yet again this is the only way they can poke fun at Sony cuz they've been humiliated by Sony since FEB.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

What is the deal with this "butthurt" thing?

[DigitalRaptor]

It would be a joke if it weren't so painfully hypocritical.

And "upset" is a bit of an overstatement. We're just pointing out the plain obvious, but apparently real criticism = tears, to you guys. The only "butthurt" is coming from those consequences of eating at Taco Bell.

[kenshiro100]

Newsflash, nobody is butthurt. The so-called 'joke' didn't make any sense whatsoever.

[brew]

Greenberg is lame. He can try all he wants , but he'll never be on Yoshida's level.

[OmegaShen]

Tour Vs console, game and I think 1 year of PS+. Yeah sorry Microsoft, I think Sony beats you badly.

An lets not forget which one has the better specs and offers more for the gamers and doesn't spy on you lol.

[Harpers_Ferry]

Those who live in tortilla houses shouldn't throw cans of dew.

Always fun to see corporate folks willing to throw down admittedly cheesy jokes, though, so good for him.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Wonder how many of these folks were paid actors with Microsft you never know lol!!

[amnalehu]

The only thing is they get the play early, but the taco bell winners get to take the PS4 home early.

[TomahawkX]

Yea Greenberg, better send as many of those tour buses out as you can because Sony is whooping your ass all across the globe.

[ElementX]

I'd rather stay away from fast food and wait for my PS4 from Amazon.

[thejigisup]

How about stairs Andy?! Do we need the ability to walk in order to plaay xbox one early bc some people have already learned that the hard way. Unless you too are giving out consoles.

On a lighter note in glass light hands can be taken, is much healthier fur the gaming community than the snide remarks and obvious lame insults

[curtis92]

You see, it's even the little things like this that make me despise Microsoft. MS loves to trash talk when they're in NO position to trash talk. It's one thing to troll when you clearly have a leg up, as arrogant as it may be, but it's just pathetic to trash talk when you're WORSE than the competition. You can't synthesize success through jabs. It takes listening to fans and really analyzing what is wanted, needed and desired. Not what gimmicks look good on paper to impress investors with. This goes beyond Xbox. You see the same thing with all of their other devices. MS is pathetic.

[CocoWolfie]

because the only way you can 'play' a ps4 is through toco bell :') theres no expos or retail stores or anything.. hey imagine if you can win one ear.. yeah a tour doesnt exactly count to winning one guy

[FullMetalTech]

I dont know why hes taking a jab at Sony when they did the same thing in 2001 for the OG Xbox.

"Taco Bell is leading the much-anticipated introduction with an unprecedented sweepstakes promotion that gives consumers an opportunity to win a free Xbox before they can even buy it on retail shelves," said Debbie Myers, vice president of media services, entertainment & licensing, Taco Bell Corp. "Xbox appeals to Taco Bell consumers who are also avid gamers seeking adventure and excitement," said Myers.

[TechMech2]

Ha. Ps fanboys get upset over this. Get over it!

[jagstatboy]

Has anyone here won a PS4 yet with a Taco Bell code, or know of someone that has?

[Mikelarry]

MS so quick to fire shots but when shit starts falling they run to thier holes with comments like " its not about specs" " we respect sony"

[tigertron]

I was wondering when Aaron Greenberg would show up and troll.

[Bellcross]

The irony...

[TechOne]

Exactly what I said!

[feraldrgn]

I don't think they're in a position to be joking right now.

[saber00005]

Enough Said..

X1 GPU:
1.18 TF GPU (12 CUs) for games
768 Shaders
48 Texture units
16 ROPS
2 ACE/ 16 queues

PS4 GPU:
1.84TF GPU (18 CUs) for games + 56%
1152 Shaders +50%
72 Texture units +50%
32 ROPS + 100%
8 ACE/64 queues +300%

[DistroyerOfFanbums]

Did you know that Sony's GPU is relied heavily to do CPU task as well? This time around Sony is trusting this GPU to handle a lot more then just graphics. Indeed, it has the most powerful GPU for consoles but so did the 360 at its time yet te PS3 came out on top.

People will have to look at games for real world results, having the better GPU simply doesn't make you the "winner"

[wishingW3L]

but the Cell was a CPU that could handle anything from graphics, sound to physics. Cell was a monster with 8 special processing units and a 230 Gflops peak. The Xbox's Xenon was just a mere general purpose tri-core based on powerPC with an output peak of only 80 Gflops.

The Cell alone is more powerful than both CPU's on the PS4 and XB1's combined. What can such a weak CPU based on x86, which is even more limited than the powerPC tri-core on the X360 let alone its general purpose cores compared to Cell's special processing units, do against the PS4's GPU enhanced for GPGPU/ALU?

The PS4 GPU has 18 CUs and each one of those CUs has 64 shading cores inside. PS4 has 14 CUs for render and 4 that developers can either use for render or GPGPU. So developers have at their disposal 256 cores dedicated to ALU which is twice the amount of processing power than the CPU's on either console!

Meanwhile the XB1 only has 12 CUs, so it can't use any for ALU without being forced to trade graphic quality for performance when compared to the PS4. Now you should be able to understand why MS raised the CPU/GPU clocks... It's because in the future devs will not have room to improve while on the PS4 they'll have the GPGPU + the Low Level API Library "libgcm".

MS might have DirectX to make development easier and faster but at the same time that API is a liability. Read this for more info on that: http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[assdan]

I thought the xbox one gpu was 1.23tf

[Enigma_2099]

... I like the "sharing your games on PS4" video better.

[CC-Tron]

Taco Hell!

[Miacosa]

Missed the point! This is a sweepstakes! Halo Doritos or Mountain Dew anyone.

[abusador]

Funny how the comebacks are just as lame as Microsoft themselves.

[IcicleTrepan]

the funny thing here is.. Sony has been doing a lot of immature trash talking and many Sony fans have been loving it. MS does the same and look at the whining pissing and moaning from the gallery of mongoloids.

Stop whining you bunch of N4G self-entitled fags. When I get my PS4 I hope you all die so I don't have to play multiplayer games with you. You are the worst of the worst. If you shit yourself at Taco Bell you wouldn't even notice because you're already in a diaper with a bubba and a blankie while mommy burps you afterwards.

Now come take my bubbles cuz you can't take the truth, but you CAN whine about it on the internet like a loser.

[P_Bomb]

[QUOTE]Stop whining you bunch of N4G self-entitled fags. When I get my PS4 I hope you all die so I don't have to play multiplayer games with you.[/QUOTE]

Wow, the sanctimonious return of Aaron Greenberg and community deathwishes, all in one day. Makes me long for the good ol' days, if there were any.

[DistroyerOfFanbums]

I detest fanboys too but to hope they die is too much.. We "still" have freedom of speech but the things I hear from ppl and the anger for such trivial things is disturbing.

"Gamers" will see jabs from both sides, Sony took jabs about xbox online policies, and the pew,pew, kinnect. It's only natural that someone from Microsoft would take jabs.

[Infamous298]

I dont mind microsoft taking jabs at sony, but microsoft is in a very bad position to take jabs and Aaron Greenberg's jokes were lame and bad and unproffesional.

[Majin-vegeta]

Someones a little cranky today I see.

[isa_scout]

I'm a huge Playstation fan, but I thought the jab at Sony was ok. Both companies do this(it's part of the competition) and both will continue to do this. I may think Sonys' jokes are sharper, but still no problem...It happens.

What I do have a problem with however, is a whiner cursing at,whinning, and calling out other supposed whiners...Funny that you call people losers that whine yet your whole post is nothing but whining.Grow up kid.

P.S Since apparently you don't want those bubbles anyway I will honor your wishes....For bad language, and calling people "Fags" You're so ignorant it's sad.

[GamePeace]

Why so funny, dude? None of the next gen games is good, till now they showed only bullshit. Gameindustry is nearly dead, glad there are series like Pokemon and Monster Hunter, which are actually franchises and will continue to exist. And not this next gen pile of shit...

[SegaGamer]

Worse than children. I wish we lived in a world where we had 1 console per generation, these feuds are so pathetic and childish.

[Yo Mama]

This is funny.

"Yeah, so how are things going on your "Sorry we tried to F you in the A" 2013 tour??"

[voodoogts]

The SlaveStation fanboys are butthurt again cause of another Xbox video.

[ZHZ90]

And what does make you then Xbox Slave.

[CuddlyREDRUM]

Exec humor... not funny.

[DialgaMarine]

I'm gonna love playing PS4 when I get mine. No Doritos or Mountain Dew required. :)

[joeorc]

Each other's Skin:

we need more of just the very simple "people having fun" does not matter which console you play as long as you have fun playing it.

that's what its all about, Fanboy slamming, smack talking piled on from anyone camp, be that Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo..the video is what the purity of Gaming is about, Smiles and having fun, don't sweat the other thing's its about having fun, and in there the from the hardcore gamer's to the Lil' Kids that smiled and waved at the camera, are having fun. Which is what it is really all about.

This trend to be mire on any console, and pessimistic attitude that is and has infected this part of the medium for so many years, really needs to go away.

in Pen n Paper RPG's for instance there is many games to play, and less of the Elitism that goes around this part of this great and fantastic Hobby. I just wish more people would enjoy it for the simple pleasure of it.

[Goku781]

Good one, laugh to keep from crying. Now if they can only convince everyone to by this spy machine.

[Ch1d0r1]

The background looks very lonely. Id figure more xbox employees would of showed up.

[InTheLab]

He needs to follow @Yosp to see how it's done.

Actually, the XB1 has been an embarrassment for months so it's probably best to remain silent and hope not all of your fans have jumped into that taco bell line.

[Infamous298]

haha, your jokes are miles better Aaron Greenburg's jokes, good job haha

[jspillen]

No Doubt... I love me some Taco Bell. And I would love a free PS4.

[assdan]

but but, they just have to go somewhere else. good poking fun xbox!

[NewAgeisHere]

Oh I'm sure nobody at MS will be poking fun or laughing when the sales figures for both consoles are revealed in a few months time.....

[cyberninja]

Look who's got jokes now, lol.

[mochachino]

I was hoping this guy would just disappear. He is worst at treating gamers like absolute morons. The PR things he has said this generation made me cringe.

[cell989]

this guy is a troll of the highest order, always doint little stunts like these to try and get a raise... he was the one talking shit to Yamauchi the guy from Gran Turismo, this troll needs to try harder or improve his sense of humor

[gamertk421]

The Taco Bell butthurt is strong here, lol. It's a bit redundant.

[GentlemenRUs]

Even though I'm not american...

Taco Bell >>>>>>> Mountain Dew+Doritos

Logic is bliss!

[joeorc]

What is ironic is Taco bell do in fact sell mountain dew and Doritos in there so as consumers can get the snack on. Lol so in effect it was pretty d@rn ironic Aaron to bring this up about Taco bell.

[LordDhampire]

it was a joke guys....jesus and pretty witty at that

[D-riders]

sometimes MS should jsut shut up. Have you bought taco bell lately I have. Ill take a free ps4 for that. I havent seen a xbox 1 truck yet so to me graeenburg sounds like and idiot

[MrBuffalo]

I don't get how anyone can take this seriously. There are people in here that appear personally aggrieved at his comments. What's the phrase, er, 'get a life' I would stake money that his Sony counter part found it funny and couldn't give a '''' either way.

[SaffronCurse]

I love when companies poke fun at each other, people shouldn't be taking this so seriously.

[Juste_Belmont]

I can't stand this guy. What he said isn't a big deal, but seeing his mug resurface makes me lose interest in the Xbox1.

[Joe913]

Y'all argue too damn much and it's the same group of ppl both Sony fans and Microsoft fans I think you all should be banned from the site.

[wishingW3L]

LooooL

I laugh but I'm part of that group too. XD

[frankiebeans]

probably weren't even running on a xbox just a pc behind the tv

[Max-Zorin]

The real N4G Logo(Smh at these comments)
http://images.bwwstatic.com...

[Reem]

In my area you get a free Xbone to every Bigmac menue

[PS4FEVER]

the xbox fan base are douches.

[renewill]

So I'm a douche cause I like Xbox. Well PS fans must be anal beads then.

[PickAShoe]

You're both the same.

[ZHZ90]

Keep fans out of this lets aim at Fanboys, the ones at Xbox side are more worse than on PS side due to their troll, lies and spreading misinformations.

[Guitardr85]

My only question is...why do Xbox fans always look so freakishly weird??!?!?

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Hilarious

[renewill]

Why do PS fanboys walk around with a stick up their butt , while holding a 12 pk taco box.

[renewill]

Sony can't do any wrong. When they take shots its all good.When MS does it their trolling? C'mon man let's not be so jaded here. PS fanboys are like rabid dogs, foaming at the mouth.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Very petty.

[BobBelcher]

I'm sure it was. But so far in the game of 'petty'

Sony: 2
MS: 1

[t3rrorc3ll]

Settle down guys Microsoft needs to give away Xbox ones on the back of Doritos bags because any intelligent person certainly isn't going to be buying one

[TheRacingX]

WHO THE F#$*K CARES.... THEY ALL DO IT...NINTENDO, SONY, MICROSOFT, EA, ACTIVISION, they LOVE all the fanboys, waving the flag for them....thats why they keep doing it....its called propaganda...pretty powerful when you are a victim to it...remember WWII??

[kenshiro100]

It would have been funny if it wasn't forced.

[DOOMZ]

Amen Brother!

[SaturdayNightBeaver]

The video looks like an XBOX1 fanboy nerd porn.

[evilhasitsway]

at least sony doent have ungrateful brats playing there system a month before launch there was a video on here just the other day of some kid doing a unboxing wtf are you serouse right now fuck ms cause they fuckin you. like i have done told my cuzin at gamestop who is a store manager if ms gave me a x1 i wouldnt keep it or take it i would just destroy that hunk of shit right in front of them not cuase i like sony just because ms isnt about the gamers and sony is that why i would do it. i dont need a mulitimeide device i have plenty of those now i just want a powerfull home gameing system. for those exclusives until then ill just sticck with pc gameing. and honestly if you can ever buy a powerful pc like mine then you really dont need a x1 or ps4 unless you just have to play the exclusives and ms exclusives usually come to pc "titan fall" lol

[evilhasitsway]

plus this guy doesnt really have the right to say shit lookin like a troll from under a bridge not an online troll dude just looks like shit.

[zekk]

could just be me but i feel that his comment actually helped advertise this contest more without having sony or tacobell having to spend an extra dime. i realize that it probably wasn't his intent but now more people know about the contest than before.

[Legacy212]

Lol let the man have some fun how much has sony trolled microsoft. On a side note it really is too bad sony doesnt have a tour or something to try the playstation 4. The other day I attended the tour and it put alot of my worries to rest. The controller felt greag in my hands, forza looked beautiful, killer instinct ran smooth but damn is the console big. I wouldve loved to try shadowfall or drive club before ps4 released and get a feel for the DS4. I really disliked the DS3 but people say that the 4 is a much bigger imrpovement.

[kuge456]

I'll try get some DevMtn and Doritos.#Every2minutes#

[Vanfernal]

Well he's kind of famous for saying really smart and thoughtful comments like:

“No one knows what Blu-ray will be. It’s pretty clear it is not the next DVD, right? The days of one physical format being the standard are gone… Let’s say right now we’re not sure if it’s the next UMD or the next DVD.”

Also... His face makes you hate him instantly, lol.

[tonywood]

I'm a Sony gamer......
But it'd hard to read comments about M$, with the embarrasing story of how some nerd Sony chumps spilled hate all over a toys r us youtube ad.
As a person hyped for the ps4 launch....I advise people to play games, and STFU!

IM A SONY GAMER....AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.

[PirateThom]

It's just amusing because when the original XBox launched, they did exactly the same thing... let's not even mention Dew and Doritos.

[SynestheticRoar]

I really loathe this mock-up, dumb down, Public Related stunts. Microsoft has become infamous for. Why do all the people in the video look like odd, socially impaired, inept, losers. Oh don't run that fan boy shit this way. Because I detest, and despise all fan boys from every side. They all can suck it.

[Sci0n]

A greenturd sighting!
