Aaron Greenberg Talks About Sony's Press Conference

What Aaron Greenberg from Microsoft had to say about Sony's E309 press conference? Watch the video to find out... Gamertag Radio exclusive video interview.

[pwnsause]

im not even going to press the play button.

[MaximusPrime]

a close up of Aaron (is that him? believe me i dont know him) also puts me off.

[WildArmed]

Thats retarded.
Its like asking a cat what it thinks about dogs.
Or asking MS what it thinks about Apple.

Can people be more retarded :D

[lociefer]

not gonna click the play button either, that guy get on my nerves

[Black Maverick]

To Summarize:

Basically he said they were happy with what they showed, other companies press conferences were "beating their chest too much" (*rolls eyes*), said he excited as a gamer about stuff from Nintendo and Sony, said they were surprised by the FFXIV announcement and it seems like they're already writing the check to get it on the 360. Not much else in there.

[green]

Wow some of you are really funny, you guys really take this so called console war too seriously.He said Sony did a good job and brought stuff that is good for the industry as a whole. I am glad it was even a video interview because if it was not, some twisted fanboy journalist looking for hits would have turned his words around.

[jdktech2010]

it's like they don't realize it's just three companies trying to sell their products and aid in moving the industry forward

[GarandShooter]

This guy is a riot. When asked about FFXIV he said something along the lines of everyone being suprised, but the way it was delivered is not quite the reality of that title. MGS:R anyone?

To his credit, he did give Sony more props than I expected, based upon some of the other things he's said.

[Mindboggle]

Hes alot more down to earth than I thought and seems like a pretty nice guy...

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Nah, just watch it. It's all good. He didn't make an ass of himself this time and complimented Sony and actually said some smart things. He was being a good sport. Both conferences were amazing and the gamers are the ones who win.

[green]

Microsoft's press conference was great for Microsoft fans,Sony's press conference was great for their fans,Nintendo's press conference was great for their fans so why can't we just leave it at that?Have you recognized the fact that Microsoft also had a great show?

Sometimes you guys need to go out and experience the exchange of words between company chief executives in other areas like the auto,aviation and oil industry to see that what happens between figure heads in the game industry is small.Let me give you a clue, google Porsche vs Nissan,Nurburgring battle and see what comes up.If you here the exchange of words that Nissan & Porsche have had regarding the Nissan GTR's laptime's round the Nurburgring, you would think they are children,But what do car fans do, we laugh about it.

Why should i go and fight their fight for them, or defend their actions in anyway?Let them fight, break each others heads but as long as they deliver the content for us the gamers, then thats all that is and should be important.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

OHOHOOOOOOO!!! Aaron didnt say anything negative about Sony. I'd give him a bubble but i havent seen him around n4g lately ;).

Nah I still dont like him.

[ShabzS]

i just stumbled over this through some random surfing ... and it totally rocks... gamespot has some indepth coverage on e3 and have demos of sc conviction, mw 2, masseffect 2, lostplanet 2 etc etc .... all the stuff they couldnt show at the conferences coz of time constraints check it out

they have the complete extended version of mw 2 and its really looking sweet and the sc demo is explained in more detail and by god it looks good

http://e3.gamespot.com/live...

sometimes on n4g its easy to forget that we're all here to play video games yah ?

[RememberThe357]

Wow. I had a higher opinion of you before now...

[moeqawama]

Honestly man, i wasnt going to press the button either, but he really doesnt do any bashing. He actually says they had a good show and he's even lookin forward to some of their games. Only bashing he did really was about the numbers and graphs and stuff, but it was subtle; nothing to really cause any anger over. I dont like this guy either, but I thought he handled it ok

[Trebius]

Congratulations...you happen to be the only person to make an ass of himself.

What we expected from greenberg happened with you, at least SOMEONE said something stupid :)

[eagle21]

The point is, most people have seen this guy behave quite the opposite. I wonder what you would say if he was off his medication when asked this question.....(joke lol). Aaron has stated in the past that he owns a PS3. He is what he is. That's really all I'm going to say. :)

[FamilyGuy]

There was no thought in my head of "not" watching the video, i came here to read or in this case hear exactly what he had to say and i love video interviews because they're harder to "spin".

He only said one thing that i disagreed with and that was about sony presenting FFXIV as something different than what it was. I don't disagree in the sense of him being wrong but in the sense of "now you get to see what it feels like" or Hypocrisy for short.
They %100 did the same thing (played with words) when saying that Metal Gear rising was coming to their platform. It's not that they should mention it being multi but at least not announce it in such a misleading way.

the other stuff:
well sony did talk about 24 million psn user and selling their planned number of ps3 units for the fiscal 2008 but it wasn't lengthy. They announced it and i was thinking "oh, M$s conference was just using the avoidance of that as their conferences' theme"

He seemed like a very different character than what ive read about in articles posted here. Like his ego shrunk or it had been inflated in text. Maybe he simply turned a new leaf...

[Rainstorm81]

i thought he was going to rip sony's conf.

since you 360 fanboy like to rip stuff just as much, maybe you guys shold take note in the new attitude.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Whatever way he acted past, he is quite professional in this one. He mentions that sales figures are boring and people are here to see game related news. I completely agree. I don't want to hear about how great sales are. I'm looking at you Nintendo!

[SuperM]

Actually Mr Aaron was alright in this interview. Not to much bragging and not so much pushing down the competition.

[SaberEdge]

I'm glad it was a video so that people can watch it for themselves and Sony fanboys can't twist what he said in attempt to make him look bad.

I remember the last article about this guy and PS3 fanboys were lying through their teeth about what he said. They were all claiming he was disrespectful, but when if you actually clicked the article and read what he actually said it was obvious he didn't say anything wrong at all.

Here is a challenge for any of you who think Greenberg is so horrible. Find comments by Greenberg that you think are out of line and I will be able to find you the same kind of comments made by Sony representatives. Sound good?

The things I have heard him say that PS3 fanboys get mad about are just normal things that people in his position say. Sony reps say the same kinds of things all the time. In case you don't know, it is perfectly natural for a company representative to point out the strengths of their company and the weaknesses of their competitors. That is their job.

[TruthBTold]

Aaron finally speaking like a the PR guy we want in the gaming industry. He shows respect for Sony's presentation and says he is excited as a gamer for what's to come. This is how you get respect from other gamers who admire games for being entertainment. If he spoke more like this I think Sony fans would stop hating and respect and also learn to appreciate the great games MS has to offer to the gaming community. As a gamer, and not even hardcore, I look at games to have fun and not to compete in some childish pointless competition that really wont give any of us anything at the end but just cause us to not enjoy seeing and playing great games. I like what I saw from MS and Sony and excited about the games I can play on my PS3 but also seeing how creative MS is with their games because they DO have great games. Nintendo has really become kind of dull for me. The last system I enjoyed was N64 but just went downhill after that. If everyone or the majority would leave the fanboy crap aside and honestly admit there are great games out there for both systems you would enjoy gaming much more. We have enough drama in our daily lives so bring it to our "hobby" is stupid.

@ SaberEdge: Sorry, you came off sounding like those "fanboys" you talk about. Both sides keep spitting stupid arrogant comments which only the "fanboys" believe. Both sound ridiculous when they say it so stop acting like its one side when its both.

[PLAYWATCH]

I expected him to spit venom and burn a hole in my screen like he normally does.

[pain777pas]

He was classy this time at least I'll give him a break for ONCE!

[IzKyD1331]

His answer wasn't as douchy(word?) as I thought it would be, but he is still and ass

[SaberEdge]

@TruthBtold

You make some very good points, but you should know that your comment came off as somewhat fanboyish to me as well. You said Aaron is "finally speaking like the PR guy we want in the gaming industry" and I don't agree with that "finally" part at all. I've read most of the comments by Greenberg that have gotten PS3 fanboys up in arms and they were nearly always very normal kinds of comments for a person in his position to make.

So, by starting off your comment that way it sounded a lot like the typical PS3 fanboy perspective.

I don't think some of you understand what a PR spokesperson's job is. It certainly isn't to smile to the cameras and say "you know, we're all the same...every console is equally as good". That's silly. Of course you still need to show a basic respect for your competitors and from what I have seen Greenberg generally has. I recognize he might have overstepped the bounds of propriety a few times, but that is no different than any spokesperson on the Nintendo or Sony side (and I can back it up if you like).

Are some of you really implying that these guys should always just say nice things about their competitors, even when it might not be true at all? Imagine if one of the console makers (let's say Nintendo) only announced 1 game at E3 next year and nothing else. Should the competitors' spokespeople feel obligated to say that Nintendo had a great showing when they really didn't? Should they say something like "you know, Nintendo only showed one game this E3, but they did a really fantastic job and I think gamers are going to be equally satisfied with all the companies' showings"? Or should they be honest and say something like "you know, Nintendo's showing really surprised me this year...they didn't really have much to show and I feel confident that most gamers will have enjoyed our conference more"? Well, the answer is obvious.

I think it was right for Greenberg to respond the way he did here, because it is true. Sony did have a great showing. However, if it weren't true, I don't think it is right to expect a person in his position to just lie about what they think just to make fanboys of the competitor's console feel good. For example, if the 360 outsells the PS3 by more than double during a particular period it is completely normal and right for him to point out that fact. And Sony PR people do the same thing.

[Doppy]

You first four should be ashamed of yourselves.

Now this is how everyone on this site should act. Even if you prefer one console over the other there is always some good about the other console. AG (Aaron) earned some serious respect in my book. And yeah I'm sure Square will announce FF14 as a PS3 timed exclusive.

[kevnb]

naw, only a sony fanboy would be that stupid. Ive seen people on here say microsofts conference was the worst in history... right...

[Megatron08]

So all the idiot fanboy that said they werent even going to watch the video got to together as a group just to show decided to post just to show how stupid they are ?

[All-3]

Bad summary.

He doesn't say it like that at all.

Question: What do you think of the Sony press conference, I know you got to see it... so.

"They did a good job, I thought it was good. Ummm... you know they... they ummm... ahhh you know personally, I thought what we did this year, where you know, our... our idea was listen, nobody wants to hear us talk, nobody wants us to go through charts and graphs and data. People have come for the show you know and if we... if we are a major form of entertainment as an industry, we need to act like one, right? And when you watch our briefings if you are not in the industry or a hardcore gamer, like it... it can be kinda boring when we talk about like, attach rates and market share and... and we beat our chests about how great we are and all that, and I just think at the end of the day people wanna see the games they wanna see the experiences, let them speak for themselves. When you watch the grammies you know you go from... from hiphop to jazz to rock and they don't talk, just let the music play to enjoy the experience, that was really our theory. Ah... You know I think... um some of the other briefings seemed like there was a lot... still a lot of talking, a little bit, you know... ah ah... too much of that, but.. but I think, I think the stuff they showed was great and umm... I think you know as a gamer I'm excited for some of that stuff as well and uh you know I think.. I think it's good, it's good. I think that everybody came and had a lotta good news at E3 and umm it's been a good show uh for the industry as a whole."

[TIKUP]

This guy would be better off if he kept his mouth SHUT!

EDIT: IM THE BIGGEST SLIPKNOT FAN ON N4G MATE

[-MD-]

Slipknot PS3 fanboy?

You're no Slipknot fan.

[thebudgetgamer]

do you have to be a microsoft leg humper to enjoy slipknot?

[RememberThe357]

lol That's what I was thinking.

@below: If you don't like the site, don't come here. It's not a hard concept...

"How many times have you met them and seen them live?" Seriously? Your a music fanboy too? I've got Nas as my avatar, and I haven't seen him live or spoken with him. You don't see anyone calling me out on that.
Maybe TIKUP here just enjoys their music, and doesn't feel the need to stay firmly stuck on their jockstrap.

[-MD-]

How many times have you met them and seen them live? For the time being I'm gonna go ahead and declare myself the biggest Slipknot fan on this bad site.

[TIKUP]

Iv seen them 3 times going for my 4th time this year when they release tickets for the world tour so suck it b!tch.

also have a signed t-shirt and pster from them, jelous much? ahaha

[TheBand1t]

Too bad Slipknot and the Murderdolls suck.

:O

[IzKyD1331]

I have a song from Slipknot on my iPod.
I AM THE BIGGEST SLIPKNOT FAN! j/k, i'll let you two fight it to the death

[themyk]

Going to see show #18 tomorrow
R.I.P leroi

[-MD-]

I've seen them 4 times including their last show ever on the Subliminal Verses tour at the Rave in Wisconsin. I have signed cds and I have met Corey and Jim.

OWNED.

[kevnb]

what a crappy band the Murdedolls are, i bet none of you even know who my avatar is. PS Nas is my favorite rapper.

[-MD-]

Rap is awful listen to real music.

[QuantumWake]

Screw Slipknot!!!! MOTORHEAD FTW!! LEMMY IS GOD!

Jk, Slipknot is an OK band. I stopped listening to them after that weird song, "Psychosocial". This is what I call true ROCK N' ROLL:

[rbluetank]

he is as much interested in what sony has to offer as is msoft offerings...lol

[-MD-]

"he is as much interested in what Microsoft has to offer as is Sony offerings...lol "

Just like every PS3 fan?

[36T]

Two in a row! Good job! Funny stuff btw

[The Master Chief]

Sony fanboys are so envious!!! I love it!

[thebudgetgamer]

but im a fan of gaming in general first. if there was no such thing a sce i would still be a gamer.

:0

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

how you know that he has a ps3? lol

[rukusa]

I dont know what us PS3 fans are suppose to be envious off... seems like stuff is coming for the platform.

Is it perhaps because it hurts you that Microsoft wont sell as many consoles as you expected knowing FFXIV wont be avaiable on the 360 next year?

[SpoonyRedMage]

That was actually quite civil, he did criticise them but he said it was good.

I was surprised. I thought he was going to be a bit fanboyish about it.

[table]

nah these sort of guys arn't fanboyish, just businessmen/gamers doing their job. The fanboys are just the pawns of these big companies. It's a shame really that these fanboys actually believe in what they preach. May god have mercy on their souls...

[kevnb]

then you will get the sort of reaction you wanted.

[badkolo]

Only a child would say im not going to listen to him, is it really that important that what he says bothers you, by the way he said sony had a great show, gosh, this is video games, not life and death decisions

[Henry Cain]

I pressed the button and he actually gave Sony props. He did say that if your not in the business, you don't want to see charts. You would rather see the games in action. Charts can get boring.

[ultimolu]

Heh, about time Greenburg stepped up and stopped talking trash about Sony already.

I bet it was an act anyway. That stupid look on his face annoys me.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Lollercoaster

[SaberEdge]

What stupid look? Sheesh, you guys are unbelievable!

Your fanboyism makes you imagine things that just aren't there.

I bet you thought you could see horns growing as well, right?

[ultimolu]

I see the fanboys didn't like what I said there.
Guess what? I don't care. :-)

It's about time he was level-headed for once.

[kaveti6616]

Whatever Aaron Greenberg has said about Sony and the PS3 in the past is just BUSINESS.

Let me break it down for you.

We live in a CAPITALIST society. CAPITALIST here means that instead of there being one state owned company administering products and jobs to the citizens, there are SEVERAL COMPETING CORPORATIONS, which include SONY, NINTENDO, and MICROSOFT which provide private citizens with jobs in order to manufacture and distribute products at a cost.

COMPETING CORPORATIONS sell COMPETING PRODUCTS to an OPEN MARKET.

OPEN MARKET means that private individuals purchase the products with money they earn rather than through ration coupons and quota pay.

COMPETING PRODUCTS in the above sentence refers to the PLAYSTATION 3, the XBOX 360, and the Wii.

Aaron Greenberg works for a large company that produces the XBOX 360. That company is MICROSOFT.

Microsoft is interested in selling as many XBOX 360s as possible to the public through the open market.

Sony is interested in selling as many Playstation 3s as possible to the public through the open market.

Nintendo is interested in selling as many Wiis as possible to the public through the open market.

These competing companies always use similar tactics when competing with each other.

As if Sony reps have never said anything stupid or arrogant. "RIDGE RACER!!! REAL TIME WEAPON CHANGE.. 599 American dollars..."

I bet right now you must be thinking, "Who is this idiot telling me things I already know."

In my defense, your comments are all I have to go by, and from that I divulged that you are an ignorant fangirl.

[Ps_alm3k]

he gonna get fired for saying nice things about sony.....

[ballsofsteel]

lol gave more props to sony that i thought he would but still managed to slip some overexaggeration like how sony spent too much time talking about number and charts and not enough on game when sony clearly showed of alot more games and exclusives that MS did

[PotNoodle]

He said what most of the fanboys on this site should be saying. They all had a good show and as a gamer, he is excited about some of the stuff sony showed too.

Can't discredit the man for what he said that.

He also makes a good point about them needing to make more of a show, even though i prefered sony's conference - i enjoyed microsofts conference because of how well they presented it, you know - they made it a show. Sony and the rest of them made it a conference.

If everyone put on a show, i could see E3 being broadcast live on mainstream tv in a few years - because like he said, for someone outside of the gaming industry and someone who isn't a core gamer, these conferences probably look and sound boring.

[moparful99]

Wow an objective and mature response... Im impressed..... Heres my take on this whole thing... I like some of what microsoft is offering for their platform. Alan wake above all. Microsoft finally showed some games but their offerings this year aside from alan wake dont have me itching to buy a 360 but thats me.. I know alot of people out there are chomping at the bit to get at those games... Nintendo had alot of the same but they did show more games rather then a bunch of add ons... Sony was my favorite because I own a ps3 and their first party games are the ones I follow. Im just not going to go all over n4g and try to pass my prefference off as the #1 reason to buy a ps3. Instead I will let people know exactly why I purchased a ps3 and continue to support it. My only nit pick ( and trust me its minor) was how he eluded to the fact that sony shows too much in the form of numbers and charts... Yea that stuff isnt what people tune in to watch but we all have to remember that e3 is a place for the big 3 to try and convince retail partners, media outlets, and potential developers why their product(s) should be their focus... This is a buisness and the lives of the people within are determined by how successfully they can get this message out into the market. Sony's belief is that you can catter to both sides... Unfortunately the interenet reflects that belief by grading them based on what the other guy had... But you're absolutely right we should all be happy that our preffered console will live to fight another year... Im just glad my $600 investment turned out to be a good one lol!!!!

[Vojkan]

I think he sounded cool and honest in this interview, he gave props to sony, so kids shut up

[thebudgetgamer]

sony destroyed us and we should just pack up and leave.

:)

[badbond1]

was pissed. Yeah, you have a good relationship with SE but Sony is going to get FFXIV online FIRST. And for all you bots on here talking junk, the bottom line is the PS3 will get it first. You will eventually get it (2011) because MS will pay out the ass. But just remember, what comes around goes around, xbot losers!

Games purchased this year : Killzone 2, MLB 09', Infamous, Devils Soul (import)

Games to be purchased this year : Prototype (PS3 best version), Madden 2010, Bioshock 2 (PS3-not timed this time!), Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (better version 1080p native unlike 360 version. added new bosses !) Uncharted 2 among thieves, Ratchet and Clank 2, MAG, White Knight Chronicles, Lost Planet 2 and NBA2K10! Beat that crapbots!

Master Crap mad cause he won't have that kind of lineup. Don't worry, I failed to mention the games for crapbox, I intend on getting on PC. I have what you have plus the exclusives that you can't have. Unless you become rich like me one day and get a PS3! LMAO!

[The Master Chief]

Desperate^^^

No one even cares about PS3 hahahaaha

[deadreckoning666]

U might wanna check that Quantum release date, but overall I agree. But who knows 360 might implement Natal into Halo Reach and it'll be:

AGENT vs. Halo Reach for Game of the Year
Honestly I wouldnt count any console out yet, except the Wii because thats pure sht. Its amazing what people will buy when its priced to their liking.

[talltony]

is less of a bot than some people on this site. He even gave credit to sony where credit is due. Some of you could never even do that.!

[thebudgetgamer]

is that why every time someone mentions sony you have a fit. whipe the sand out of your vagina and play games.

:) dam it crab with your logic. i know im missing out, but im working to correct that.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Isn't that Demon Souls not Devils Souls?? Yeah okay you bought the game and don't even know what it's called.

So much credibility here.

As someone who owns both systems let me tell you PS3 only man you're missing out. I win.

[Montreafart]

I guess he got spanked hard by Steve Balmer for doing that. Hahaha.

As for the Sony E3 conference. Yes, it was bigger and badder than MSs.

[SaberEdge]

They both have some great titles guys. On PS3 I'm going to get Uncharted 2 (sequel to one of my favorite games) and GoW3. On the 360 I plan on getting Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Forza 3 and probably Left4Dead 2. As you can see there are more upcoming titles on the 360 that interest me, but your mileage may vary and I totally respect that.

The only thing that gets my goat is that a lot of PS3 fans on this site don't give Microsoft any credit at all and try to state their opinions as facts. Or they outright try to distort reality to fit their wishes. Saying Natal is just like the PS Eye or that Aaron Greenberg is arrogant (when really to me he seems like every other company rep I have seen) and denying that Microsoft has brought some really cool things to gaming are just a few of things that many PS3 fans do that I think are out of line.

[theKiller]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGO MG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MS PR things its boring to talk about attach rate and market share??????????????? after all those years MS was talking how great their attach rate and how it is important for 3rd party support and how much they took from market share!!! now its boring??????????

and he said people want to see games?? well sony showed more games than MS showed in 3 years in just 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what the hell is he talking about? does he even know what he is talking about?? i guess he knows he is talking to 9 years old kids!!!

Greenberg WTF loser!!!

tables really turned around and we all knew it!! except the bots!! since they lost their brain in the dessert!!

[CR7JUVE1897]

He really didn't say anything bad at all.

He basically stated his opinion that most of us who own a PS3 would have said, once they started spewing numbers.

"Ughh. Not again. Just get to the games, already."

Which, thankfully, they certainly did.

[slyrunner]

Sony did talk quite alot about marketing and what not.( i cant say the same for xbox as i have not watched there whole E3 presentation)Yet,how dare him say that X-box and square enix have a good relationship.Damnit,you bye from them and bribe them with more money!!!!!.I don't doubt that square sighs in grief,while Microsoft is shoving money down there throats,as like they are forcing them to make games for them,saying"If you dont make this game for our system, you wont be seeing in extra green from us". i tell ya, what a teases MS. Yet Greenburg does seem to have a good personality,i do give him that.

[kaveti6616]

You're really lucky because the rest of us didn't get the financial transaction reports between Microsoft and Square Enix. Stupid fanboy. SE is happy to be in a relationship with Microsoft because Microsoft helped both SE and Capcom become much more popular in the North American market. If those two companies had been exclusive with Sony they would just be making more obscure Japanese titles that would sell quite poorly. And no, don't response back with a Final Fantasy/Resident Evil comment because those are just two franchises. Even Capcom has come out and said that MS has helped them to break into the American market.

Believe what you will, but what's good for the company is going to be good for the gamer.

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

Not gonna press play this guy never had something good to say

[The Master Chief]

If you own PS3 maybe thats a good idea.... no one in last place/the constant unpopular loser wants it rubbed in their face. Maybe you should stay in PS3 land where you can be happy.

[TheBand1t]

Master Chief, really? You're quite the dìckhead.

Not to mention you reek of the insecurity you accuse Sony fanboys of.

[bjornbear]

Master cheif is an personality void and an idiot be the looks of it xD

Look at your God (Greenberg) for reference, he's behaving more civilised than you.

[Gue1]

What with Greenberg and his obsession with Sony? The guy clearly has issues. =0

[NegativeCreep427]

So in typical MS butt-buddie fashion, he has to run his mouth to delude and reassert himself.

Edit:

This pu$$y below me is another prime example of that.

[The Master Chief]

hahahahha Sony can't win.

Keep waiting.

It's NEVER going to happen before next genearation starts.

Again, keep waiting will we keep winning. :)

[thebudgetgamer]

2nd place =/= winning.

:)

[Dead_Cell]

LOL he thinks he's Microsoft now.
Or should I say Nintendo?

[Avenged Sevenfold]

How on earth do you still have those bubbles? We should do something about that.

[The Master Chief]

hahaha

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Lol, you gotta love fanboys and the thought that they actually think that MS and Sony are battling eachother as much as the ps3 and 360 fanboys fight eachother. Guys, they thrive on one another. Without Sony, MS wouldn't be sh1t. Vise Versa.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Wow, I love disagree trolls. Ya diG?

[dogmeat eater]

hes just some fat @ss McDonalds douche monkey.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

LOL

[PtRoLLFacE]

this guy sound like if M$ had some type of deal with square enix and the SI announces FF 14 for ps3 then m$ goes like, wtf! y u didn't tell us, so now M$ is going to talk to SI then SI will suk m$ check paper balls, and later on final fantasy will be announce for the 360 end of the story

[GiantEnemyCrab]

You sound like you get all your news from PS3 fanboys and believe every bit of it. I'm sorry for you.

Give me a source or a link where MS paid off Square Enix?

I'll wait for that.

Some people just can't get over the reality that the Playstation rein is over. It's not that big of a deal Sony is still doing great stuff but these companies who are in business to make money recognize that the 360 is a success. Now amount of asshat fanboy drivel is going to change that.

EDIT: Yeah disagree away but you know it's true.

[PtRoLLFacE]

lol play station rein is over lol so god of war 3 and uncharted 2 look better that all the 360 games put together and u say play station i done lol ps3 is just starting, 360 is dying if not dead already so yaa

[Gue1]

What with Greenberg and his obsession with Sony? He talks more about Sony than anything else. The guy clearly has issues. =0

[SaberEdge]

I know, it's not like Sony is Microsoft's most direct competitor in the game market or anything.

[AssassinHD]

Honestly I am impressed. That is the second interview this week in which I have seen him make very reasonable responses instead of the arrogant remarks that I am used to seeing. Well done Mr. Greenberg.

[arsenal55]

wow.. good job greenberg!

i was expecting. "well sony conference was boring. we did best"

but he actually wasnt a fanboy about anything and i agreed with everything. and im a ps fan

kudos

[PELVIC THRUST ACTION]

It's Aaron Greenberg. Everything he says is just crap spewing from the mouth. He just talks nothing but smack and he'll never say anything truthful or honest. Is he some hired IRL troll? And why does he always talk about Sony? Is he paid to just watch Sony, talk trash and copy anything they might do? Reasonable Aaron is a myth much like NON KRAZY KEN. Just isn't happening.

[kaveti6616]

You're ignorant little preconceiving mind prevents you from even watching a video of the man. What's even funnier is you scrolled past what seems like 100 or so comments and didn't even skim through them, you idiot. IF you had even bothered then you would have read that he actually made relatively nice comments about Sony. HE said they had a great presentation.

But...wait. You said everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

Does that mean the truth is... Sony had a terrible presentation???

I'm not even going to stick with the rhyme.

Be a gamer, not a sack of crap.

"At the end of the day, no one wants to hear about attach rates, or market share, or sales figures. They want to see the games."

I'm glad Microsoft is finally taking its own advice. Sony's conference absolutely murdered them.

[iDystopia]

lol it must feel good knowing everyone agrees with you.

Wait....everyones saying Microsoft won?

I guess you missed the 15 games Microsft revealed, Microsoft made Sony look like noobs, again.

[Demon5500]

No body can say one bad thing about him ad least he spoke the truth and By looking at the polls all over the net it is clear Microsoft took e3 and I am a Sony fanboy, If sony did not talk crap the whole time we would have seen more games demo's for ps3 then what we saw next year lets hope sony get it right. You have to learn some time sony.

[Salvadore]

It's funny how people say their aren't going to watch the interview, yet Greenberg was very moderate about his opinion and enjoyed their briefing.

Guess it's "cool" to jump bandwagons.

[dogmeat eater]

The intro was just the beetles game that nobody cared about. Then they showed multiplatform games. Then they showed a cg trailer of L4D2 and Crackdown. Then it was just natal. Then kojima came on stage. Then the end. Pretty standard. Pretty mediocre. Oh I also forgot about alan wake. Which was there only good game they showed.

[cpt_kaos]

This M$ numnut should do the gaming world a favour and put his diick in his ear and blow his brains out.

Have a nice day. :)

[Mr Face Creamer]

You droids sure can't debate for sh1t... Nor curse.

[cpt_kaos]

Mr Face Creamer.

If I'm a Sony droid or Fanboy then I'm a damn proud one as in the same length of time which is 1 year of owning a PS3 I had 4 dud 360's crap out on me ... geeze i prefer quality over quantity and if that = Fanboy then I'm flying the flag full mast and proud.

Now please put me on the ignore list as I'm trying for double digits at the moment.

Have a nice day :)

[-x.Red.x-]

greenberg KNOWS that ps3 is get better and better and there's NOTHING
teh XBAWK can to do complete in the future.

Too bad, i almost feel sorry for the 360-only owners that will get a ps3 and start their libraries from scratch.

[Shane Kim]

"At the end of the game, it is the game that matters"
Funny coming from someone who works with a platform with no games.

[rupi]

lol, you're a FANBOY!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

No games? LOL! Trying to pull the switcheroo.

I guess all the gaming I've been doing on my 360 was a figment of my imagination.

I love when someone who doesn't even own the system tells me that I have no games to play.

[d0nT wOrrY]

hahaha @Shane

i have to admit that Alan Wake is the ONLY game worth playing on 360
FOR ME

Halo ? lol this game is huge kind of sh!t
even though i can play all 360 exclusives on my PC and you can't.

[sedx]

you guys are all idiots fanboy's....just because he works for microsoft doesn't mean he has to hate sony......sure he wants them to do better then sony ..cuz its business(welcome to the real world).you always want to see your company to better than everyone else..

[rukusa]

Honestly sounds like he got a headache thinking about the FFXIV announcement. He did not seem pleased at all.

I think its just Microsoft's karma hitting them where it hurts after the a) GTA DLC buyout b) pulling FFXIII onto their platform aswell c) Fallout 'exclusive' DLC d)getting Konami to put the MGS franchise on the 360.

I bet they felt high and mighty about the pull and accomplishments they've achieved.... and they never imagined in their wildest imagination that Sony would do a similiar stunt to them.

And BOOM... Microsoft just got hit by a megaton force punch. How does it feel Microsoft? how does feel to taste your own medicine?

[Parapraxis]

Good interview, even if it was very short.
Thanks GTR.

[dagreatest41]

LMAO you guys need to watch the end of the video when the guy asks him about FF14 he just stats stuttering and has no idea wtf he's talking about.

[ustayclassyn4g]

some good points, im impressed actually with what he said and for who he is...charts are boring :( don't judge him without watching the vid, he gave a balanced view of the conference, and from wha i heard it's more than some of the gaming press did...

[scott182]

What on earth would lead anyone to beilive sony fans are envious of microsofts line up??? Or even Natal??? Why...

So many defensive xbox owners trying to bring down ps3 owners at every turn. As far as I have seen, the best, most polished games are coming out on ps3 and have been for a while now, and the eye toy is fantastic for casual gamers and maybe soon hardcore gamers. So if you are going to say ps3 owners are envious then please enlighten us all. But I do agree microsoft had a better SHOW, mostly because sony tried to brag a little.

[bjornbear]

But kind of pointless? Imo...still, fair play always plays best =)

P.S why is always 360 fanboys being deleted by the mods? some sony fanboys need it too yano =/ i always come late to these comments n always miss their stupid comments =( they r good for a laugh here n there

[360_Rules]

Sony in third place forever in North America....confirmed. Take that you Fracking droids. Natal is going to get all the casuals to buy a 360 and not a crapstation.

[lancer8869]

Still nutting over mass effect 2. My most anticipated game of all time. Just finished reading both bookss too

[no-spin]

Im a PS fan for 3 reasons: PS2, PSP, and PS3. These babies deliver the goods in every way possible.

That being said, i want MS to amaze us with Natal, and i want Sony to amaze us with Motion Controls.

Conferences are all talk and Show. I dont mind who did better or who failed. When the games and innovation arrive that is when i care. Just deliver the goods, gamers are hungry for greatness

[shysun]

Good interview.

[dogmeat eater]

has the perfect lips for sucking dik. In prison.

[LordDhampire]

Yeah, at first I was...really, but he didn't act like his normal self and berate everyone else. He actually gave a good interview

[meetajhu]

Worst employee ever!

[SWANN]

This fat phuck just doesn't know when to quit. Looks like I need to send a few of the fellas to "Talk" to him to convince him to keep his mouth shut or else.

[neriser]

This guy is fu****g retarded. Someone needs to shut the f### out of this guy.
Greenberg you got issues man. lol.

[Enigma_2099]

... THAT would be newsworthy... taking that into considertion, the shill is probably just shooting his trap off... as usual.

[rbluetank]

"the funny thing is he owns a PS3..."
he is as much interested in what sony has to offer as is msoft offerings...lol

How do i know arron greenberg owns a ps3.... i alot of people know this... industry fact... the 3minutes and 20 second mark he talks about owning both....

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Obama]

May be Alan Greenburg is a secret ps3 fan but he is just in denial.

[Saaking]

I've gotta admit, he's saying the truth. Microsoft do know how to put a good show and that's how they impress people. Either way, both were good (though I'd say Sony was better since their games interest me more).

[hatchimatchi]

he didn't say anything bad about sony and he actually came off as a pretty likable person. You should watch the video before commenting on it.

This makes me think if some articles with him attacking sony have been spun.

[Mc187]

And just make M$ pay for his lifestyle, you don't have to like what you do but you should like the money and Greenberg is paid well.

[Vip3r]

Anyone know the song at the start of the video?

[Pintheshadows]

Nice little interview. FYI Murderdoll, seeing Slipknot is nothing to be proud off. Go watch a real metal band.

[felidae]

nice short interview

[rubixCubos]

someone should shoot this man
