Don Mattrick sold tons of PS4s that day. Sony employee of the year.
StodgyCaesar I sure hope so, competition breeds innovation
Own goal
Haha 😄
If PlayStation ever does a hall of fame, Mattrick is the first induction.
@The Deadid 1 The problem is that you believe consoles make money but they don't. It's software that makes that, wether you buy Xbox's games on your pc or on the console, you're still feeding into their ecosystem. Also, the normal person isn't going to go out and buy a rig with equal specs of the series x especially since that console is much more efficient, cheaper then an equal rig, more of a "plug and play" and easier experience overall. You would have to spend a hell of a lot more to get equal specs to series X, and even more to exceed it. Just my thoughts though.
"It's fascinating to see a decision so bad, realized with so much effort." What a great line from Richard
One of humanity’s biggest problems delineated by a entertainment technology expert

Dunkey said something similar about the new Kingdom Hearts
I laughed at that lmao
"The level of engineering that's gone into something that's ultimately not needed is an astonishing technical achievement."
So there's that.
I couldn't not have timed this any better, I literally started reading your comment the moment it was said in the video, lol
Richard is so savage lol
The corporate blindness to reality in this conference was astounding.
Why do you think Windows has so much telemetry these days? MS changed their approach to user privacy as a result of this are trying to ensure it never happens again. But there are always those idiots that are against the corporations "spying" on them and are actually trying to turn off telemetry systems... Can't blame MS for not giving them what they want next time around then...
@@fredsas12 Companies are perfectly capable of gathering market research and forecasting demand without spying on people. This is a terrible rationalization for violations of users privacy.
@@kw9849 Really, and how are they going to do that if they dont collect data? You believe in magic? The point is that they are not spying on people. How do you think Google seems to know what you are about to type even before the second or third letter? Its not an invasion of privacy if you agree to it..
The entire point of this telemetry gathering is to understand what the customer wants.. You do want companies to serve you better and increase satisfaction by giving you the right tools, right? Else, why buy their software over anyone else's?
@@fredsas12 Nobody needed telemetry or even feedback to know that no one wanted the Kinect. You could tell just by looking at people they didn't want the Kinect. It's not that deep, it was just common sense. You could argue this isn't an exaggeration either.
I'm always astounded how these companies are so out of touch with the consumer.
“A masterclass in how not to reveal a console”😂😂
not really but most people are ignorant as fuck. xbox literally said the reveal was about the console and games will be shown at e3 which they showed nothing but games. this wasnt a problem of microsoft not delivering it was a problem of dumb asses not listening. people often say e3 2013 was bad when it was better than sonys. but people mix e3 with the reveal. the only pitfall of microsoft e3 2013 was when phil spencer said 499 lol.. you could hear the crickets in the room and the look on his face said it all.
I own 3 Xbox ones (first, S and X), but I still think they messed up😂
Lol the deflection in this thread is gold
AnEn LoL okay mr philosophy. The comment is still accurate. This definitely isn’t how you reveal a console.
@AnEn woahh youre so smart
“It’s totally awful. I don’t know where to begin with this...” - Richard
The same could be said for the way the next gen consoles have been "revealed".
@@UnkleRenoGaming not even close lol
@@UnkleRenoGaming ?
@@UnkleRenoGaming Sorry, but Sony did it perfectly last two times.
@@theblah12 No the PS5 reveal was lame. It was just silly "OoOoOo So MyStErY" nonsense that was played out a decade ago when they finally showed off the console. Next gen consoles have now turned into a PC Tower and a Router lol.
I can tell you exactly where the bad data came from. When the gamer was away, the non gamers in the family just used the Xbox (360) to watch their shows. It is a very popular this to just kinda have the TV on in the background all day. This makes it look like (in the metrics) that the video functionality was the primary use case.
(underrated comment)
Oh wow that is brilliant, I bet that is EXACTLY what happened
In general, at the time of PS3/xbox 360, they were convenient to use for streaming content because the rokus, amazon fire, smart tvs didn't exist or was expensive and so unnecessary if you had a console.
MS didn't see this, didn't understand it was a stopgap and the future of smart TVs and cheap streaming boxes/dongles.
@@3dmarth in Japan one TV households are the norm so at least over there it kinda makes sense
@@dragons_red the legend says some ppl still watch Netflix using their PS3...
27:37 "He's powered by microtransactions" 😭
It's true lol
That guy almost single-handedly sank the Xbox.
All Sony did was come out and do the polar opposite of what MS did and buried them. Microsoft entered this generation with a bullet wound to the foot.
Microsoft entered this generation without a foot entirely 🤣
@@anusmcgee4150 WUT - Dude, are you that fan boy blinded? Microsoft totally turned it around from the launch shit show. Ditched the Kinect, brought out a serious backwards compatibility program, designed the best current-gen console in the Series X and totally got back on track. I own both consoles and enjoy the Sony exclusives the most but I think the Xbox UI (the chat function is a great example) and the xbox controller are vastly superior (the xbox pro controller in particular).
Yoshi The only thing that sucks ass is that even with the Xbox One X the UI is unbearably slow, especially when you have it loaded up with games. Hopefully the Series X speeds up the OS
@@rockothetaco95 i only find the store on xbox slow. heard it was getting updated and hopefully we get more refinements to the dashboard
More like a bullet in the head that put them in a coma
It's hilarious when Richard is talking about their bad decisions and calls it "astounding" and "really quite remarkable". Lol, don't ever change, you're the man.
That dude had me rolling throughout the entire video. He was so baffled at how incredibly out of touch the whole presentation was.
His sarcasm is too impressive for us to fully comprehend.
@Bear Omega The hate is strong, why have you wasted your own time to write this when you'll be the only person upvoting your own comment?
Bear Omega you seriously called people sheeps you sound like a god damn Facebook mom
@Bear Omega I'm a console player but how can you call pc players peasants? 😂 who gives a fuck besides you
Richard’s comment on Andrew Evil Wilson is perfect: “He feeds off the life blood of Fifa Ultimate purchases / He’s powered by micro transactions”...
Don Mattrick is obviously the fool of the presentation, but Wilson is the real villain.
I swear Don Mattrick behaved like a shareholder as opposed to the boss with his lack of reverence for what consumers wanted.
What's equally impressive is corperations like this spend millions of dollars every year doing quantitative and qualitative market research to understand their consumers. How they blundered the xbox one to such an astonishing degree like this is beyond me.
The problem was that they thought they WERE doing what the consumers wanted. All the telemetry off the 360 was telling them that people were using it to watch Netflix etc. When I had my 360, at that point in time my friends list would normally show nobody in a game and everyone watching streaming content. Replicate that across the whole world and it’s very likely that they saw more people using the 360 as a media hub rather than a pure gaming machine.
Don’t get me wrong, they made a horrible, horrible mistake, but I think it’s probably quite understandable at the same time if you consider the information they must have been getting back.
Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already.
This reveal came out when I was 14 and now I'm turning 22 later this year... Time flies way too fast or its hard for me to accept that fact.
I know. & I managed to miss an entire generation for the first time since ps1
Hell, it feels like 20 to me sometimes lol. But yeah,idk i wasnt as much on the gaming scene at the time.
When you hit the bottom. The only way is up. Hoping Phil Spencer and the Xbox team will crush it in July.
mylifeintheknifetrade Seriously, I cant remember time ever going by as quickly as it has gone lately. Seems like the months are going by faster and faster hard to believe we’re already over halfway through the year.
Wichard summarizes this whole situation perfectly:
"I don't need this in my life."
Wichard... hahaha, I honestly thought I was the only person who noticed his dodgy pronunciation of words. I really can't focus on anything else when he talks, except that speech impediment.
@Bear Omega whattahell are talking about?
53:20
I'm sorry, this timing absolutely slayed me.
Oh shit
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Crash em
"That's racist." *ding*
“And blowing up the whites"
You guys totally forgot to mention the "Fish AI" in CoD Ghosts. That was hilarious, Mario 64 had it!
THE FISH SWIM AWAY FROM YOU
Pounds 100 dollar bills into counter
Yeah that fish AI blew my mind... in 1996.
I find it funny that there's a game achievement that makes fun of it. The game is Payday 2, it's called 'Fish A.I.', and the description is 'On day 2 of the Watchdogs job, throw a loot bag into the sea, hoping fish move away as it gets near.' XD
That was the joke back in the day.
Classic "shit Ghost" name: "we have fish AI!"
*Insert any game name in late 90s to mid-2000s: "We also have fish AI and a better game."
*DF:* Is it as bad as you remember?
*Me:* No... it’s even worse than what I remember.
Don Mattrick is the best employee Sony never had
Don mattrick was a Sony plant.
@AnEn All-digital console doesn't mean I can't play my games offline
@AnEn Nobody thinks the industry isn't heading in a more digital direction, but the plug & play aspect of consoles, lending & borrowing games, has been a big part of their appeal for a long time compared to PC gaming, and burning that bridge behind them in the pursuit of a digital market was an absolutely pants-on-head ridiculous approach to take and was so completely unnecessary.
By taking away functionality from the physical media instead of simply making the digital proposition better to incentivise people to change their consumption habits.
The current approach of make physical games disc-dependent, and have digital copies account-bound, just seems absurdly obvious.
@AnEn but it was boneheaded as a strategy, because it clearly didn't work out for them, and it tried to sell a concept by creating an artificial disincentive for the old, rather than trying to sell the positive incentive of the new. The objective wasn't boneheaded, but the strategy really was.
There was never software ownership, you only ever have a software licence. That's always been the case.
I've already said the market being digital wasn't the mistake, it was what they thought they could sell with it (TV) and their attempt to go it alone by trying to strongarm options away from the consumer that turned into an easy win for their main competitor in the console space. THAT was stupid.
😂🤣🤣👍🏽
31:58 richard is in total savage mode in this video. "its not my living room. it wasnt at the time, its not my living room now, and it just goes to show what a complete misfire this is." lol roasted.
My thoughts, very well worded ;)
@@SussedRage yea people don't talk about how Microsoft had to do a 180 on many things that they stated for xbox one to not go completely under but it was still completely devastating to their brand even after the 180.
After watching this, I feel we really need a DF 'Retro' on just the Kinect. I want John playing every compatible game, like he did with the 32X.
"hey what about people who dont have internett"
"Get a 360"
Do you guys not have internet?
I mean how are the new consoles going to deal with that? I think they've won that one.
😂😂😂
Get a PS4
Felt bad for Joe there.
"Ladies and gentlemen.....Xbox One!"
DF crew: "Yeah....."
Bear Omega get some help man
@Bear Omega lay off the crack pipe, son.
@Bear Omega LMAO you got wrecked. Reevaluate your priorities man
Bear Omega You need your meds boy ?
@Bear Omega well, you are right that most pc gamer dont have huge machine, i am a great example of this.
I love when we come together as to hate watch something. Real wholesome.
It's the American way bruh lol
Yep that damn don mattrick guy HAHAHHA
It was no "hate watch".
It was just confirming if our memory was still functional. And yes, it is still doing that "glory days" trick.
As soon as Mattrick said "Introducing...", a PlayStation ad popped up on CZcams. Slightly ironic, I'd say.
Same here...only that it was a Nintendo switch ad xD
@@DoktorBear20 Mine was a Pizza Hut ad that started with "Introducing" lol
😂
Don matrick almost destroyed the Xbox brand and Phil had to spend a decade digging it out of the grave
Don basically destroyed the current gen of xbox and they knew this gen was lost so they're fighting really hard now going into the next gen. They already have better services than PS.
How has he dug it out of the grave? By making the console irrelevant and putting all games on pc phones and tablets? far as im concerned the only thing he's digging is his own head into the sand.
Xbox still has their toes dipped in the grave, PS5 is looking like a another generation winner.
@@amanisilvester26 if you're too dumb to understand that Microsoft makes more money from software sales that hardware. You should sit this one out bud.
Kyle Aldis no he hasn’t, he’s been head of Xbox since early 2014
"what about people who don't have dedicated internet?"
"We have a product for you it's called the Xbox 360" Donny Mattrick
He replied the same thing to questions about backwards compatibility or the lack thereof back then.
I'd have loved if someone had said 'what about a PlayStation?'
(c) Don Mattrick - Sony marketing Officer
While it was poorly handled, the "online only" thingy def wasn't really an actual issue.
Weird way to say " Ps4"
This was a horrible blow to xbox brand.
Don Mattrick put on a clinic on how to ruin brand momentum
And one they're still trying to recover from.
Don mattrick's damage to the brand's office is still being paid by Microsoft til today...
They never recovered thanks in part to Don
Mattrick has such a smug face 😏, he looks so proud that he called the 3rd Xbox; "the Xbox One".
Every Xbox presenter has to have this face. Phil is carrying on this legacy. The smug corp exec that smiles while saying so much, and saying so little.
I called mine "Xbox 720"
"The next water cooler" statement aged like cheese rotting under the tropical sun
God that was a disgusting way to sell it
I don't get it what she means with that statement. Can some one tells what she try to say. Thank you in advance
@@Interestingworld4567 In a typical office workplace setting, the water cooler is the place for people to gather around and have casual conversations
Pyrocatheter so were they implying it was meant to be the hub for gathering and entertainment?
Bear Omega had you seen what happened to stadia?...Geforce Now in the other hand is doing okay but cloud computing as you call it is the same as if you were using your own GPU even Jenseen has said it multiple times the cuda software and hardware architect are the same when I say the same he stays that highend v100s or A100s will run the same software including even a Gtx1050 they all run the same architecture just like the self driving computers that they are putting in Tesla cars or other car manufacturers all those computers run the same software, code, architecture etz. Geforce Now was created for people that want to play evewhere without bringing with you your entire system that's it and for people that will have fast internet.
Don Mattrick looks like a crappy Tom Cruise impersonater you'd see at a kids party.
YES, I thought I was only one who thinks that.
🤣🤣🤣
OMG! Yes, he does!
Great analogy.
The idea of someone hiring a Tom Cruise impersonator for a kids party is hilarious to me.
@AnEn lol that's exactly it
I was 100% an xbox 360 fanboy, until i saw this presentation 7 years ago.
And until they told me _"nah no backwards compatability, nah you cant let your buddy play in the same room, he gotta buy his own copy of the game, nah you need to be always-online for the DRM, you're a crook even if you've payed, so we're gonna treat you like a crook"._ I just went "NOPE" from that day on.
Yes, they did backtrack a bit on some of that stuff, but the fact they even ATTEMPTED to pull all this shit on their own consumer base, nope. Never forget. Never got an Xbox One.
THEY sold the PS4 to me, Sony didnt have anything to do with that.
Microsoft did Sony's job for them. A free win for Sony before they even aired their presentation.
One meets their destiny on the path they take to avoid it.
Yep, whole reason I bought a ps4. I went back to xbox because of the xbox one x, I wanted true backwards compatibility and Halo, and Sony never delivered on the backwards compatibility, and the kinect and all that spy bs from this conference died.
So, what do you think of your decision now? Are you still probably Playstation? Did you go back to Xbox? Are you a gamer of both brands?
@@ArchangelExile I got a PS2 to PS4 for God of War and Xbox 360 to Xbox One for backward compatibility and to play CDs
Lol calm down
"He feeds off the life of FiFA Ultimate Team purchases.." 🤣👍🏻
Microsoft thought they had the iPad of the television/living room here. This reveal really reminds me of an Apple keynote where they announce a whole new product category (but so much more dull). You can even tell that they expected more plaudits for each and every thing they highlight in this conference, and were shocked when nobody cared about the fancy new TV interface and just wanted video games.
Pobbity Boppity Most intelligent comment here. Thanks.
When I still had cable though...loved the feature lol. Now without cable, can do with out it.
Well said, Pobbity
And just like with Apple, only the hardcore fanboys are blindly cheering.
Ah, I miss that guy. Don Mattrick, Sony employee of the year 2013.
"Andrew Willson is immortal, feeds off the life blood of FIFA's ultimate team." I fell out of my chair LMAO
Their engineers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never once stopped to think about whether or not they should.
Promethius!
@@wishtheworldwasdifferent8235 what? no. Jurassic Park.
Ah man such painful memories. This was a waste of an hour to watch. No focus on games and talking about nothing but TV. Here's to Don Mattrick, undercover Sony employee.
He was literally at Sony's E3 conference reveal of the PS3. Working for EA though.
It wasn’t really a waste. The event was focused on introducing the system and the features that made it unique from the PS4.
And not only that, the time gap between here and when they showed off games was not even all that long, since this was a few weeks before E3.
Not that it's true- but MS deserves it, after putting their mole into Nokia and destroying it.
Keiji Johnson lmao what?
@@keijijohnson9754 it was a waste, the reveal was a disaster and did a lot of damage to the xbox brand
It was a massive embarrassment. How could they they not understand the main purpose of a console.
My guess is that they were trying to sell to it to non gamers, like wii did one gen earlier.
EDIT: they said the same thing as I did at 2:00 lol
Well tons of people really believed that consoles are dead.
They didn't understand the game consoles focus should be games .... The same company that made a mainline Halo game where you didn't play as the main character of the series ....
@@metalb0087 Halo 2 had you playing as the Arbiter so that's kinda a weak argument but I get where you're coming from on that. Halo 5 was not great.
Same company that forced a mobile interface into a desktop OS around the same time because everything was going to be touch based.
One thing I find interesting, is how they originally discussed how Kinect V2 would be able to read your pulse from across the room. I got a laugh a few years later when re-watching it, thinking that obviously materialize. Then one day I was bored in a lecture and started browsing medical journals; turns out it actually does exist! It's picky about room lighting and skin color, but it does work. Surprising amount of stuff on Kinect in academic journals for computer science and medicine!
Obviously, the forced bundling of the device was unbelievably stupid and hurt the Xbone launch in a huge way. It's of zero use or interest to me from a game perspective, but I absolutely love it on my pc. The list of what it can do is too long to get into, but one feature I use often is it is a 3D scanner. Very cool technology, just not so great for gaming
Someone should tell 50-something gaming execs that they don't look cool using a suit with sneakers. They look lame.
lol, they think they look like rock stars, but they still look like executives
Depends what they're doing. If they were doing the electric boogaloo on a skateboard it would probably be pretty cool. But these guys are just corporate stooges.
I used to travel in suit a lot. Just for it was easier than packing it and not having it ending up between my cheap shirts with lost lugage. At the same time I had a foot injury making me prefere sneakers.
For most airport security officers that combination made me look like a criminel...
Now I understand why!
The champion of lameness was that bald guy who leads Stadia, can't remember his name. When he gave his launch speech he was using red sneakers, like VERY, VERY red.
@@stonerdemon If only he had copied more from this presentation than just sneakers! I mean, that was actualy kind of new but Xbox did not need the entire "for dummies" presentation.
Really is amazing how one man’s vision + this presentation alone basically screwed the Xbox brand for years.
Phil Spencer has done a hell of a job so far as far as I’m concerned considering what his predecessor handed over to him.
Phil saved Xbox One and the Xbox brand as a whole.
Richard what has Phil Spencer done to make Xbox better nothing you Xbot fans really believe Phil is the white knight or savior for your Xbox you still have no games haven’t done anything different
You can’t blame one person for making Xbox bad yea he was part of it but everyone that last apart of the Xbox brand doesn’t know what they’re doing
What? All Spencer did was lying! Cloud, DX12, cancel all games, more asian games etc etc etc. I´ll never understand how people can praise this liar! Maybe you fell for his lies...can´t explain it otherwise...
@@kenshigo3833 Phil Spencer was under Windows up until 2017 when he was promoted to senior leadership and was given control of his own department (Xbox/Gaming) with his own budget rather than always answering to someone at Windows.
It's not a coincidence that we've gotten Gamepass, the greatest deal in gaming, bar none. As well as the acquisition of half a dozen top tier studios since 2017.
Microsoft was an absolute mess during this time: Windows 8, Windows Phone, Zune.
what is a zune? must have failed hard if I haven't even heard of it.
Don't forget Mixer
@@megapro125 It was an MP3 player meant to compete against the iPod. These days most people probably have only heard of it because one shows up in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as a gag.
I really liked Windows Phone. It’s just too bad that it never got the support and took off.
@@SlackjawProductions The Zune HD was especially nice and pretty ahead of its time, but yeah they did not do a good job of marketing it at all
Did Rich accidentally reveal Series S in this video? Around 42:00, quickly corrects to "One S".
LOL!
23:00 haha remember Peter Molyneux with "Milo" on Kinect?
"This is a REAL artificial intelligence, that reacts to you, and cares about you"
Oh god the cringe.
I only remember the girl that was talking to Milo, she moved and I saw her black thong.......good times
It still boggles the mind as to why Microsoft would handle their next gen console like this. What on Earth were they thinking?
They thought they had the gaming part secured and could make it into a "does everything" system.... Too bad people weren't ready for the Amazon Alexa of consoles back then.
I'd argue that the HDMI Input was use full and I will miss it.
They thought console gaming was dead and everyone wanted a multitasking machine instead
They were thinking...about Sony
They were too much in advance. It was too soon for full on digital, I personly like the digital games because I can't care less about have a box or cd... granted you can't sell it back wich is the only negative for me.
Too many suits. Corporate idiots bro.
Haven't started yet but I can't wait to be incredibly angry at Don Mattrick all over again! :D
First gen since the first Xbox I didn't buy an Xbox. Phil Spencer's entire career is undoing what we're seeing right here.
yeah you can tell phil is all about being consumer friendly
Phil is doing better for sure, but he keeps giving everyone reasons to skip an Xbox and get a PC. Very consumer friendly, but not good for sales.
@@RandomGamingMoments925 Yeah... Looks like they are more interested in building the platform and user base than selling consoles.... but IMO thats a good thing as long as they don't overlook the console and still ensure it is a great purchase for console players.
@@RandomGamingMoments925 Skipping an xbox and getting games on their Microsoft store is still a heavy win for them,Xbox is going the apple approach, introduce people to the open ecosystem,and give them rewards for walling themselves,rather than force people to wall themselves like what sony does.
@@RandomGamingMoments925 well, MS is PC company after all, so doesn't matter if xbox console will dead later
" He feeds on the life blood of micro transactions " that was brilliant and you're not wrong!
Kinect is a remarkable piece of hardware. Glad to see that it has finally found its true calling as a VR capture device :)
I believe the face ID in iphones is basically miniaturized Kinect tech.
@@acspicer it is. Xtion was the developer of the structured light depth capture technology that was used in Kinect 1 and Apple bought them out (and in the process set robotics research back a decade) and that's essentially what's in the iPhones these days

@@mdkgod43 disable it...
Xbox spent the entirety of this generation just trying to recover from this reveal and prepare for the next gen instead. That's how bad this was. Phil Spencer saved Xbox from the brink.
If Don Mattrick stayed on and saw out his vision for Xbox I'm pretty sure Microsoft would've sold off the Xbox division to Amazon or Google.
Spencer has also made Xbox redundant. Why would I buy an Xbox when I can get all their exclusives on PC? If they even have any exclusives that are worth playing.
I also think not having any first party games designed for the Series X for a minimum of 2 years is a terrible idea.
You're having a brand new powerful piece of hardware being held back by a piece of hardware that was largely anemic even back in 2013. If I spend upwards of 500 on a new piece of hardware, I don't want my games being held back by 7 year old obsolete hardware.
Xbox is pretty much dead after next gen, it will be another failure.
@@gooduH786 Xbox despite its performance in hardware sales this gen isn't dead. Its too big to completely fail now. They've made way more revenue from their services from Xbox than 360 gen easily. Xbox won't beat PlayStation next gen either, but they can close the gap more so than current gen.
Barely, even the XSX is looking weak. It all depends on how good Halo Infinite is this fall, which 343 have yet to make a competent Halo game.
Why they thought I would rather wave my hand around vs just pressing an intuitive button is mind boggling. Voice control can actually be useful but when it's implemented badly and forced it puts people off
Oh man. I remember watching this and the first few days after the reveal. The news about drm and always online etc kept coming and I was just completely blown away by how tone-deaf MS was and how much they fucked this whole thing up 😂 Good times
I was onboard for the new Xbox after having a 360 and when this happened and the drm stuff came out I was out. Rough.
This was all so unbelievable... the 24 hour drm crap on a console that couldn't even play used games, and was also weaker than the ps4. Somehow they had the balls to make it 100 dollars/euros more expensive too. Oh and remember kinect?
Ps5 digital is same in some ways right? Can't play uses game although you have option to purchase disk version.
@@RealShaktimaan no it isn't
Megatron PS5 digital is at least an option, not a mandate. I remember getting the Xbox One day one. It had a massive patch when I connected it just to undo all the stuff they touted as ‘features’.
@@RealShaktimaan You couldn't even use the console without internet, AND the kinect.
WH250398 Still can’t. If you get a new Xbox and can’t connect to the internet. It’s a brick. You can set PS4 up offline.
I just remember "Oh, you don't have Internet? Buy a 360." Ah, good times.

Yes, it is!
What Mattrick failed to see was that when Xbox One was released smart tvs were becoming more popular and dumb led tvs were fading away.
It's a shame Smart TVs haven't adopted remotes as responsive as a game controller, though.
They didnt saw coming Chromecast, apple TV, etc
@@orijimi I love LG's magic controller, the sad thing is that apps like CZcams work tons better with the "d-pad" as oppose to Netflix that works so intuitively with the wiimote like pointer. My parents understood it without help.
@@echinas0908 Yeah, I can't stand how if you use your phone as a remote for a Smart TV, barely any apps can accept text input from your phone's keyboard, so searching for anything is a needlessly tedious task of d-padding around.

Lol😁 had to go back and listen for it but its definitely there. Sounds like my friends on discord when I'm trying to get a chicken dinner on pubg
The whole conference is a piss break.
Ah, Dumb Mattress - an individual so eminently forgettable that it took this very video to remind me that he even existed.
😂 Good one
"Xbox, go home!"
F
Because that's how we felt after this presentation! LMAO 😆
I love these videos! Could you go even further back in time with the reveal of, now retro, consoles (PS2, Xbox)?
I really enjoy watching the three of you talk about these kinds of reveals and events. Wouldn't mind at all if you did it for more than just major console events!
I still vividly remember this presentation.
I was very cynically laughing by the end of it and did not need to look for online reactions to know that this reveal was truly awful.
The (almost) endless articles of all the backpeddling leading up until launch was also amusing.
There was one silver lining though: The family sharing feature (that would have allowed sharing of games between Xbox accounts since they were going to all be tied to it) inspired Valve to implement the feature on Steam later that same year in October, a month before the Xbox One released.
Microsofts July Event Finale
Microsoft: and now it's time for an update to our flagship Halo Project
Fans: Oh yeah here we go
Microsoft: folks here's a first look at the Halo TV Series
Fans: Wait what?
This joke would've made sense 7 yrs ago
You're underestimating the July event. I can't wait for Xbox to blow Playstation out of the water.
Gabriel that is a very strong statement. Don’t delete your comment after the July event.
@@ankurjha001 Is it really that strong of a statement though? You act like the Sony's event was mind blowing. As long as Microsoft has more than a picture of there console (deep dive or UI) and shows off more than 4 exclusives. They already would have more stuff I was interested in at the Sony event IMO. Not saying it will be better or anything just don't think it would be that hard for Microsoft to top Sony especially with all their 1st party studios are starting to get ready to show stuff off.
collin saying “MS July event will blow playstation out of the water.” isn’t a strong statement?
In a 1v1 fight, I’ll blow you out of the water. How does that sound? Stupid, right?
Also, I never once said anything about Sony’s event, if it was good or bad.
Too quick to assume things?
Short Answer: Yes
Long answer: Hell yes it was bad. It was god awful.
It really is amazing how a video game console reveal could how almost zero actual video game footage. Bs ea stuff, very little quantum break, and not exactly compelling call of duty footage. This really is terrrible
@@dani_i8942 you forgot horizon zero dawn, beginning of 2017, but still, yeah, not many exclusive at all this gen before 2016
The second GPU hidden in the power brick?! What?! 🤣
This was the best conference for Sony.
This needed to happen to Xbox, just like the PS3 needed to happen to Sony. If you are still bothered by something, that happened to you 10 years ago. Then you haven't learned anything or grown from that event!
And the Wii U for Nintendo aha
@@Twingamingx yea, you're right about that for sure. 😂
The PS3 had a horrible start.... but still held its own AND sold more than the 360🤷🏼♂️
@AnEn u know why they remained dormant? Red ring of death, that' why.
@AnEn by 2013 ps3 had sold more than 360 in less time, look it up.
LOL what Microsoft realized afterwards about Kinect, Sony already realised during PS2 with the EyeToy. There's only so far you can take that tech without physical handheld input devices to aid you.
"DF Retro EX: Xbox One Reveal Revisited - Is 'TVTVTV' As Bad As You Remember?"
No. It's even worse than I remember.
"Games" should be the 1st tab, not the 4th 🤦🏾♂️
Or just allow the user to arrange them in the order they want.
I honestly do miss the "Snap" feature though. You could play games while having sports in the corner was pretty damn cool.
Yawn
You could grind for achievements while having a counter snapped to the side showing how much progress you had made and how close you were to finally unlocking it. They should bring Snap back.
Xbox was innovative back then. Now PlayStation 5 is the innovative machine. PS5 has all the cool new features now.
@@mjc0961 um, turn on achievement tracker, exact same thing.
The original Xbone would have looked awesome if they'd replaced the disc drive with a VHS bay
Legends say Bill Gates punched Don Mattrick in his kinect after this disaster.
Staying true to the British tradition of having roasts on a Sunday.
Nice 😅
I see what you did there 👍
As a PS fanboy since 1994 I remember watching this stuff live and saying to myself "We're back in the game, folks, and it's all being done for us right here".
Cringe imaginary situation lol
Man I felt that I was with you guys, I really laughed and had a fun time hearing you!
Ah yes, good ol' Donny. Look up how much money they spent on him as an executive at both Microsoft and Zynga. Unreal.
Imagine being Don Mattrick.
I cannot imagine being that clueless.
I mean shit he's probably better off financially than everyone in this comment section combined... including me lol. He probably couldn't care less about his long lasting impact in the games industry. Who's going to hold him responsible?
@@TheGershon lol you're probably right!
@@TheGershon The board of directors. He was forced to resign over how poorly the Xbox One went at the start of the generation. lol
Mattrick: Fails horribly launching Xbone.
Capitalism: Yeah, let‘s reward dat boi and make him rich af.
Don Mattrick - best own goal of the generation
There's only one real Don:
Phil Spencer
He sucks too honestly
Just better than Don
More of a Fredo in my eyes
0 exclusives
19HajimeSaitou91 Lol at that damage Phil Spencer took over he has done a better than great work
19HajimeSaitou91 no he is working hard to make Xbox Better it’s just that he hasn’t shown everything he has yet he will show it in the next gen consoles.And he is also buying or working with a lot of studios now to get exclusives for Xbox
This conference convinced me to skip the Xbox One... I owned 2-3 consoles per gen from SNES through 360, but this gen felt so lackluster and was the final nail in the coffin, pushing me to exclusive PC gaming.
It wasn’t control, it was quantum break
Quantum Give Me A Break
Same 💩
Don Mattrick is living the dream; to get paid millions to destroy that which you hate? That's just gangsta.
It’s not as bad as you remember.
It’s even worse.
One of the biggest issues was that Microsoft didn't really know what they wanted the Xbox One to be, almost like an identity crisis. The Xbox One tried so hard to be the jack of all trades and master of none. It didn't do anything well, it just tried to do everything and fell completely flat
Shit. I thought the Halo TV SHOW WAS CANCELLED YEARS AGO. I was surprised when Richard said it is still happening.
Apparently it's still scheduled to come out in 2021
It's sceduled for "Next Year".
Saves them the annual update.
Assuming COVID doesn't keep bothering the production team
Don Mattrick single Handedly sank the Xbox One lol 😆
To this day, I'm not convinced Don Mattrick wasn't being paid by Sony to sabotage the Xbox.
It is amazing how you guys make something so entertaining out of something so painful! Fantastic video :). Really, really hope you are planning on doing the same for the E3 reveal!
Say what you want but I miss the PiP function...
Yea I'm actually blown away by how they advertised it, I used the snap feature constantly, and I never used it like they did in the clip. It was best for walkthroughs (either video or text) and was better than using a phone because you didn't have to take your hands off the controller. I also enjoyed it for playing extremely relaxing/slow games and watching netflix/youtube. Then there was the fact that you could use it to play music in the background, but admittedly there are better ways to do that.
You could have even played your PS4 through the HDMI in port lol
@@Bartholamue You still can still do that
I miss it so much. I pip'd game walkthroughs to help with achievements
I was dissappointed when I found out they removed that feature but unfortunately that console is just too underpowered for that
“A masterclass in how not to reveal a console”😂😂 And yet I still bought it😂
@Nathan-DTS Despite Mattrick's poor salesmanship, it was and still is a great console. Interviews with people other than Mattrick after the reveal were far more illuminating about the console. This reveal was hot garbage, for sure.
Well, every product have a buyer.
@AnEn But under spencer's supervision, xbox turned from a platform to ecosystem/service. I think he is like building the core foundation for xbox before building on it. Like xbox game pass, backwards compatibiliy,xbox play anywhere and xcloud. Then went on studio buying spree with really great devs like ninja theory and obsidian and now xbox smart delivery(a form of sony's cross buy to be honest in 8th gen). Thats why i think xbox series x is where the rewards shall be reaped. But in the end its all just hope
@@Tessou i dont think it was a great console, it was underpowered and overpriced!
Ms hoped to sell it off of the success of xbox360.
Dont get me wrong, ps4 was a bit more powerfull, but both consoles specs were on the underwhelming side.
I was an xbox fan right from og xbox.
I was looking forward to xboxone reveal so much, then was hugely let down.
That and the price of ps4 were deciding factors in switching to ps4.
Best thing i did!
Same. Looking back I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.
Couldn't be happier now though with Gamepass and a One X.

@@simplez4ck That's the point.
@@simplez4ck Forza Horizon 2 isn't and I love it
Just an absolute disaster. I got the 360 at launch and absolutely loved the console.
This presentation convinced me _not_ to buy its successor and as a result I ended up buying a Playstation for the first time, the PS4.
Don "Mad lad" Mattrick delivers.
The fact there is no hdmi input for tv on xbox series x shows their focus is on power and games now. Not tv or any gimmicks.
Personally I’ve never used a gaming console for “tv” I believe most people watch Netflix, CZcams, etc. And those are readily available almost on any platform
More like power and services
Yup Xbox has done a complete 180 since Phil Spencer took over
@@brandondiemeke4106 are you fr?
He took over several years ago and the platform is still in the dumps
Could be better next gen but rn it's trash
@@aadipie these things, they take time. Xbox was in a really bad shape at the start of this gen. They could do nothing to build quality games because they didn't have the talent and look at those excellent services. Now they have the power, the studios the talent the services they're in a good position to fight it out now. Fingers crossed for good 1st party games.
Ok imagine when ole mate said “introducing Xbox one” and the Xbox one s revel played instead, no DRM trash and Kinect imagine how different this generation would go... coming from an Xbox fanboy myself
To be perfectly honest I miss the snap functionality. I used it to play games and watch TV at the same time constantly. Now I have to put a laptop or tablet on my coffee table and run a power cable to them.
I wish I could multitask like that. When I play games I zone in completely on the game.
@@OrtadragoonX Yeah I dont understand how people do it, I can only focus on the game or the TV show not both.
