I guess I can imagine how it would be comforting to hear Microsoft reiterate their preorder date.
It’s just that I don’t think anyone expects the same issues with trying to pre-order an Xbox.
It’s like the popular kids are talking loudly and Microsoft walks over and says “don’t forget me, I’m still here”
“We make games too”
“Oh regarding the crazy ps5 pre order- we have a preorder coming soon too!”
Okay.
We see you Microsoft.
Pretty rich of you to say that you think MS where trolling taking a jab and that it rubs you the wrong way when here you are, taking jabs like you can't help yourself.
It's plain for anyone to see that there are a lot of PS fans who are upset about the way the preorders went down. MS has seen that too and are just reassuring their fans so they can hopefully mitigate the same thing happening to them. They do what they do for their customers. They think they have a premium product to sell to them, so they are going to treat it like one. Even if it doesn't sell out they are going to treat it like it's a big enough deal that it will. Because it's what their customers and fans deserve.
Realize that this forum houses fans from all corners of gaming. Some of them are very excited for the Xbox launch and are hoping the preorder fiasco doesn't happen to them either. Some are excited for ALL console launches and would like to know what they can about timing. Try to respect our hobby and be kind to our fellow members. You weren't attacking anyone directly, but the way you talk puts MS fans in the back row or something.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your demeanor when you're on top greatly determines how people treat you when you're not.
