Bill Gates said hatefully: "What are these people? ”

Sheldon sighed, he knew what Bill Gates wanted to ask, but the answer disappointed him: "These people are normal customers, real consumers, just a little picky." ”

Picky real players, this answer silenced the two, and they were helpless for a while.

There is no better way to deal with it, Microsoft can't drive these people out of the store, for the sake of poor self-esteem, knowing that this group of people are picky players from the Dragon camp, they can only pinch their noses and let the other party sneer.

At this time on the Internet, several internationally renowned computer hardware forums, JA|VA's native community, Dragon Games Forum, Microsoft's Xbox360 official website and other places have appeared in player feedback posts, and a considerable number of posts are unboxing evaluation posts for players specifically for Xbox360 game consoles, including those rich veteran Dragon camp DC2 veteran players.

Without exception, almost all DC2 players will ridicule Microsoft products in a mocking tone when doing unboxing reviews, and players from all over the world have used their ingenuity and turned on the poisonous tongue mode, one by one more scathing.

Players laughed at Xbox360, they were very picky by the players who were raised by Longteng, and they have played the Longteng game platform for many years, so that they are accustomed to almost all of them, accustomed to Longteng's native operating system, accustomed to the game online mode, accustomed to buying genuine games through the guòLongTeng Live online shopping store, and used to chatting with friends online battles through the guòLongChat account during the game.

This is Longteng's grand strategy in the IT industry, as long as it is an electronic consumer product that is closely related to people's daily life. Basically, there will be the shadow of Longteng, and a lot of the content in the commercial film "Future Technology" is that Longteng has done a good job. Or a research project that is being done, so players are guided by the dragon to familiarize themselves with this pace. Naturally, as a matter of course.

At the same time, this also leads players to complain and scold about the unsuitable Xbox360, as long as Xbox360 is different from DC2, players will feel uncomfortable.

"Three years ago, I was disgusted by the hard-to-use operating system of Xbox360, with a lot of inapplicable features on it, and the sensitivity of the joystick was extremely difficult to control, and I often couldn't select what I wanted. The gamepad vibrates out of place, it doesn't vibrate when it needs to vibrate, and it doesn't vibrate when it doesn't need to vibrate, and the game settings are very unreasonable. I thought that three years later, Microsoft would have a little memory, but who knew that it was still this virtue! ”

"5 feet (1 meter 5) wired handle! I'd really like to say to the designers at Microsoft, Fack, have you ever done a field test? You're watching a 48-inch TV from 5 feet away, and you're good if you don't get dizzy! Why not swap the standard handle for a wireless one? You don't need to buy batteries, so are your minds still stuck on a 24-inch TV? Then I can only say it to you. You're outdated! ”

"I've always thought that Microsoft's Live store online service has been a chicken rib since four years ago, and if you make a stand-alone game, you can make a stand-alone game, and Xbox360 can't even guarantee the quality of a stand-alone game, and what do you say that competing with DC2 is better than anyone's online service? Microsoft Online Services doesn't matter how good it is. No consumer buys enough Xbox 360 consoles, and the service is also a furnishing! ”

These complaints and disdainful words are only a small part of the interception, and there are many more vicious criticisms. If Bill Gates saw those, he would definitely vomit blood in anger. That's definitely the rhythm of making Xbox 360 critically worthless.

Again, there are the fastidious cross-eyebrow cold opponents. There are also enthusiastic supporters.

Price, the preferential price is enough to show that Microsoft is desperate this time, and has invested heavily in the operation of this matter, and the price of the Xbox360 somatosensory bundle is unimaginably low at $399.

The Kungfu component or a single Kinect somatosensor, the cost of both companies is about $100.

In this way, the price of Xbox360 is only $299, which is at least $100 cheaper than DC2's somatosensory bundle set of $500 and DC2 is priced at $400 per unit.

For new players who purely experience somatosensory games, Kungfu and Kinect are not much different, because there is no place for players to make intuitive comparisons, for example, the Xbox360 Kinect will never be put on the Xbox360 in the Longteng somatosensory physical store for consumers to try out, and the official Microsoft experience store will definitely not have a Kungfu component.

So consumers can only make choices according to advertising and self-feeling,For the vast majority of people,Somatosensory games are at most a novel experience,There are not too many fun somatosensory games in both companies,Each game is played for so many days,Anyone will get tired of it,Many hosts are just put in the corner of the home to eat ashes。

Only hot new games can continue to attract players, and both Live stores can provide online download services for new games, and there is no difference between the two companies in this regard, and it is certainly willing to buy a Microsoft Xbox 360 to experience a somatosensory game, which is $100 cheaper.

I have to say,In the 2007-2008 era,Somatosensory games are not mature,Unlike GTA,COD,FF made into a movie-like best-selling masterpiece,PC,DC2,MAC and other platforms are released,Under the premise that somatosensory games are not as blooming as old stand-alone game manufacturers,What somatosensory games are not playing?

New players bought Xbox360, tried a few somatosensory games and felt good, I heard that DC2's somatosensory games are similar, of course, to say good things about Microsoft.

Slowly, more and more players supported Microsoft Xbox 360, and with Microsoft's TV commercials, physical store ads, and Bill Gates' personal promotion, Xbox 360 sales are booming.

On the first day, Xbox360 and online pre-orders reached 900,000 sales, which reached the psychological expectations of the top management of Microsoft's gaming department, and then the next day, the physical store and new online purchases reached 300,000 units, the third day was 280,000, and the fourth day met the weekend, and the sales reached 340,000, which is a great form!

Sheldon finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the top management of Microsoft's board of directors has been paying attention to and supervising him, because of the average sales of 300,000 units per day, which allowed him to avoid criticism, and even gave him a strong self-confidence in the complete resurrection of Xbox 360.

"This year, plus Christmas, the Xbox360 will definitely sell more than 3 million units, and I am very confident!" Shelton made promises to several major shareholders at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting, full of confidence.

But not everyone remained so optimistic, and a representative of the Vanguard Fund, the second largest shareholder other than Bill Gates, asked a question: "There are more than 40 days left, can you make this guarantee?" ”

The representative of SSGA Fund Management Group, the fourth largest shareholder, asked uncertainly: "What is the response of Dragon Entertainment Games?" History proves that it is absolutely impossible for them to watch us continue to do this, and they must have a way to do it! ”

Sheldon smiled and said: "Their response is to use the illusory "Future Technology" to appeal to consumers to buy their products, and according to my understanding, only Longteng Google Glass is a semi-finished product in their advertising content, and all the rest of the high-tech products are a hypothesis, made of CG animation." ”

The SSGA representative was a little annoyed, and he waved his hand and asked: "Google Reality Maps is very well received, Longteng Apple is collecting Street View numbers, self-driving cars are under development, and Walt, the largest car rental chain in the United States, has provided 200 seven-seater commercial vehicles for Longteng, do you think it's a joke?" Apple's next-generation portable tablet iPad will be launched on Valentine's Day in 2008, and a near-transparent version has been developed, and Corning Glass has reached a strategic partnership with Longteng. Why, according to what I have learned, is Longteng collecting virtual reality elites from all over the world to work in China? ”

The representative of Vanguard Group slapped the table and said impatiently: "You are the executive team of Microsoft with a market value of $100 billion, and you are responsible for hundreds of thousands of shareholders, and you are seriously considering more than 30 fund companies for us!" Sheldon, can't you talk and do things before you think clearly? Any enterprise that underestimates Longteng Entertainment Game Company has been proven by history to have only one end, and that is failure! ”

Microsoft's top 10 major shareholders have made a difficulty, they are at least 2% of the shares in their hands, no one's money is blown by the wind, Sheldon despises Longteng so much, so overly optimistic estimate Xbox360, this attitude of the executive team makes shareholders quite dissatisfied!

It's embarrassing, Sheldon and Bill Gates and others are speechless to defend, and the accusations of SSGA and Vanguard Group shareholders are even more fragmented, these news are not unclear to them, the Microsoft think tank team has been collecting Longteng-related information, he deliberately did not mention it at this extraordinary shareholders' meeting at this time, and he also has the idea of reporting good news and not bad news.

The meeting ended unhappily, and there was a great deal of mistrust and infighting within Microsoft.

Then, Microsoft's bad news came the next day. (To be continued......)
