Ballmer Reflects on Xbox Launch Errors
Steve Ballmer, cheerleader for all things Microsoft, was candid and reflective during the first official day of the expo. Gamespot has coverage of the one hour rap session he held with journalists, discussing game demos, the positioning of the 360, and their rivalry with Sony. From the article: "He voluntarily reflected on the poor pre-release showing the company gave the first-gen Xbox, calling those early demos 'a disaster.' Threaded through his comments in the freeform discussion were constant references to what the company must do to better its performance in the console wars with the Xbox 360." Update: 05/18 21:31 GMT by Z : Helps if I actually link to the article, huh? Interview with Ballmer up on Engadget, as well.
...we've done a much better job at leaking secrets and hints this time around!
One man's Funny is another man's Offtopic.
That might explain this.
Here's a tidbit, but you should read the whole thing:
Microsoft had brought its own supporters along with them, just in case they got a chilly reception at the press conference!
Not. Enough. Deodorant.
"I want to make a lot of money, but the right way," said Ballmer." I don't even know where to begin with this.
