Many of you heard the enthusiastic applause and cheering during the Xbox One reveal, but when showing the public, all of them were holding their tablets. So Some of journalists who attended the event confirmed that :

#justthebeginning
As a side-note, this has been standard practice for years in the gaming industry, for better or worse. Sony didn't do it during the PS4 announcement, and people commented how quite it was at times.
The worst part, however, was the times these hired people chose to clap. No logical person could have gotten that excited over timed FIFA exclusivity or "Xbox, watch TV." At least try to maintain the illusion Microsoft.
As a final thought - this doesn't make it right. But we definitely shouldn't act like this is a new thing and make a bigger deal of it. It's been a problem for a long time, and the gaming market needs to decide how it wants to present its products.
I was getting diappointed by the lack of games shown but the crowd was applausing every media aspect shown, at first i thought the crowd was more mainstream media and less gaming media.
If this is common practice in game events then, I applaud (though not loudly) Sony for not doing it at their announcement. The way of honesty and sincerity is the way to go, not superficial approval.
And they still had to fake the cheering...
And after all in the end it turned a Fake Audience ಠ_ಠ
Your days are numbered M$ .
Go to the blog, they choose people to fill the first rows of seats...
shame
Well it does explain why I was watching it and was getting depressed about it no live demo at all of any game .. And some how all those people clamping for tv crap and things that no one who owns a tv would clap for lol
Well playing cheering and clamping off speakers will do it haha so sad solo solo sad lol
Seriously though, it's a sad thing when you need to stage your own accreditation so that the live viewers don't think your product is completely worthless. I was wondering why some of the presenters gave that awkward gesture almost as though they expected a bloody encore.
The clapping and cheering was so blatanly fake tho. You can totally tell they were paid actors.
So a google search reveals that yes the wii sold alot of hardware but not many games other than first party, mario is magic. Why I wondered? Well my theory is that casuals dont buy games nearly as often as a hardcore gamer like myself. Hell I have over 50 games on my hard drive alone. A person only needs to look at the wii u to see that casuals just dont care about games that much.
The only reason I think the wii was successful is because it was cheap and pop culture did the advertising. So what does this have to do with MS? I highly doubt that gold will be struck twice in the casual market especially if the price is>200. I believe they have dug thier own grave. I already have a cable box and android phone for casual crap. I want my gaming machine to do what those divices cant!!!
"I already have a cable box and android phone for casual crap. I want my gaming machine to do what those divices cant!!!"
Your cable box and android phone can run Call of Duty, WatchDogs, Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, etc...
I really need to get one of those magical devices that can play games for other platforms.
well technically yes a phone could run a version of call of duty or any other game it would just look like ass. I love to have the best looking games period no matter which platform and right now next gen looks to be a wider gap power wise than we had this gen.
To me a console focuses on casual gaming to make up for short commings in the power department. You dont need alot of power for kenect games lol
Xbox1 already getting major hatred on N4G for some reason.
Just let it be, if you own a PS3 or PC even a Wii U, why bother about what MS doing. as long as you get your games and enjoy your system then you are safe of what microsoft are selling.
One thing i am glad about is MS biting the bit and going Blu-ray, sony got the right product with bluray.
3 games(1 is a racer)& 4 sport games
total of 2 exclusives and the rest is multiplatform.
Underwhelming architecture which they try to lie and call "rocket science" & then all that kinect 2 & interacting with your TV crap !
If you're not pissed,then that's fine,but don't expect lots of "gamers" not to be !
I play PC but i am swayed more towards PS4 if i DO buy a console next gen.
I just wanna switch on my gaming device sit back,relax and play, can not be bothered with this shouting at the computer for it to change channel.
Good games, K/B or Controler and that will do me.
EDIT: i see i got a bag load of disagrees for my last comment, what is wrong with people these days. i just said don't like it, don't buy it....simplez.
Sure, I'm going to get a PS4, I didn't need MS to flop to convince me to do so, Sony just needed to make the right moves which they did, but I was hoping there'd be room for two consoles in my life next gen...no point now.
I'll give them 'till E3, but if they don't show any convincing game, then it's bye bye Microsoft for me, they've been getting away with this shit for far too long. People hated on Sony when they started shoving bull-crap into peoples faces, why should Microsoft not get the same treatment?
It's about games, not f*cking brand loyalty.
4>1
The entire presentation was ass though.
PS4 for me
They told everyone last week that this wasn't about games and was to introduce the console. They even said it at the start of the event... they said it TWICE... once asserting what this was about and shortly after telling you that E3 was going to be focus completely on games and so they were not going to show this.
I'd agree with some of this crap about not showing games if they didn't tell everyone that they were not going to show games. In fact it was one of the top articles on this site just last week if I'm not mistaken.
your missing the point bro, whats eating me isn't that I think they don't have games. The problem here is that they aren't focused on games. How can they introduce a Gaming machine for the first time and focus on Non-gaming properties? Its supposed to play games! tell me about the games, what are the specs? What type of games will it focus on? kinect? hardcore? MS is just not in it for the games anymore.
playstation 4!!!!!! iiittttsss Tiiiimmmmeeeee!!!!
just like how they pay some guy over a 100million to create the scroogle ad and pay people to talk bad about samsung galaxy s 3 on facebook and it back fired on them good will always triumph over greed and MS is has Greedy has they come
That's hilarious.
I guess the audience wasn't too enthusiastic about the revealing ;)
That's effing hilarious, that's a huge fail
This is a Wii U level disaster in the making. Moreso, because it was MS' game to lose.
"Japan is just so smart.
The whole Wii strategy was just there to lure Microsoft
into a wrong strategy so Sony can reclaim the throne."
LOL
The crows are home to roost, there's no other way to put it! Especially if you have a formula that has worked for you an entire generation, why change something that isn't broken or in Miicrosoft case something that you didn't know was broken!?
You guys are stupid. The media is biased, filled with Xbox fanboys. Look at most reviews. They almost always review the Xbox 360 version of games. Look at Machinima. Xbox fanboy heaven. Those YouTube "celebrities"? They play on Xbox 360 because they are biased and will get them more views. Blah blah blah blah Xbox bias blah blah blah media blah!
You-"Trying to talk sense to Xbox fanboys is like talking to a wall."
Corrected-"Trying to talk sense to ANY fanboy is like talking to a wall."
Don't for 1 second act like the PS3 super zealots are any better. Just because they share your opinion doesn't make them "better".
"no u"
All fanboys are retarded, for both Sony and Xbox.
"We've seen this before at the past two E3 conferences"
This is so bad
Kind of funny, but, to be expected in this day and age.
that's pretty funny and sad at the same time.
Because everyone was louder and more enthusiastic (in comparison to the PS4 reveal).
Oh man this is one for the history books...
''Have you ever wanted to do something else while watching TV?'' - M$ suit
''....'' - Audience
''Of course you have!'' - M$ suit
''....'' - Audience
All about appearance for them now, no depth.
I'm not satisfied one bit
ohh .. and they can keep their "interact with your TV" bull !
I don't care what is being sold, that is cheap and low brow.
Oh and why did the indian guy keep putting his hands in his pockets when he went to interact with the Xbox. Something seemed a little off. A bit TOO good. Like it was recorded.
Loki you are still blathering on about Kinect huh.
Newsflash MS has abandoned core gamers. They are more interested in jocks now. I guess Kinect did work well with both Fantasy basketball and Fastasy football.
If that is what you are looking for, have at it.
They were listening that in the Stock Exchange Sony ups 9% after the Microsoft conference.
:)
Clearly Sony got Microsoft off balanced.
However this is a new low, i was wondering why are the applause for the TV crap, now i know. LMAO!!!
To use and only Playstation slogan.
Microsoft, "You are not ready"
Sony really tossed a wrench into their plans now they just seem to be scrambling.
