So apparently, Microsoft had their employees crash Nintendo's Best Buy events in order to discourage customers from buying Wii-U's and wait for the Xbox One instead.

They are Americans that were dropped on their heads at birth & taught to easily be suckered into things.

WTF did you have to pick out Americans? Many Americans won't be falling for this BS. And I'm sure the x1 will sell some consoles in other countries.:roll:

He picked Americans because only Americans have freedom. Therefore only free Americans that were dropped as babies could advocate for the anti-freedom box that is trying to destroy the freedom of America.

The problem is this.. Americans already have a bad name with being arrogant or cocky in some countries... Microsoft is NOT helping our image. (yes I know mostly made in china or whatever now.. blah blah blah).

Point is, it's hard not to be pinned down with an arrogant stereotype when one of your countries largest corporate companies makes it appear that way... sickening

For all those of you out there capable of understanding this is not always the case; I commend.

Not everybody here falls in line with this brainwashed bs.

It is a thread title with all titles colons are used to break up the title and subtitle examples Dr. Strangelove: or How I stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb; Another example will be Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

 

So the TC used the colon right.

I have 0 interest in the Wii U, but this makes me want to go to a Best Buy to see if some moron comes up to me while I am checking out the Wii U. I could see it now. Dude walks up behind me and says you don't want that, you want to wait on the awesome X1. I would pause with that puzzled look on my face as I turned around. I would look at his shirt and reply "oh that explains everything". He would be like what do you mean? I would say well figured you were a Microsoft employee before I even turned around. he would ask why I thought that and I would reply saying well....You would have to either be mind numbingly stupid to make such a suggestion or a Microsoft employee. And seeing the only mind numbing idiots I know are all here on Sw, I really only had one option left, Microsoft employee.

I love how all you guys believe this so easily.  Gullible as sh*t.

 

It could be true.  I think it's highly unlikely that it is though, what with all the hate going around at MS, it's a perfect time for people to start making up stories.

 

But really, what happened to all the skepticism?  One of the main problems with people now, especially in the US.

Exactly. I can go to Best Buy in a Nintendo shirt have a buddy film it on his phone "waiting in line" and blog about how Nintendo is crashing Best Buy stores all over the country.

The fact that people are so gullible or are so much a fan boy they believe this is assinine.

This is a really idiotic comment.You can't mock people who don't like what you like.
