Investors want Microsofts new CEO to kill Xbox, Bing and Surface

[J-ride]

Good riddance!!! Microsoft should go back to its roots with Windows and maybe even DOS!!!

I’d rather use Msdos 3.2 than windows 8, real talk. My wife got a free laptop with windows 8 on it and I am thinking of selling it and paying money out of my own pocket to get a Win 7 laptop because it is such a steaming pile of shit. Even using classic shell and forcing the PC to boot straight to desktop barely helps.

Proof, here on srk, there’s no ps4 padhack and a shit ton of padhacks wanted for the one :).

I’m pretty sure the padhack demand is because the Xbone has a fighting game, and the PS4 doesn’t. I’m going to wait for some games that are worth a damn before buying an incoming gen system.

[Hatred_Edge]

KILLER INSTINCT PORTED TO PS4? KILL THAT XBOX.

And I bought a laptop last week with Windows 8(free upgrade to 8.1). This shit SUCKS.

[Preppy]

Please feel free to PM me your Windows 8.x problems/concerns/angers. I’m interested.

[maxx]

wtf? kill xbox…are they retarded?

[Magegg]

Bing is a steaming piece of turd. Probably the worst search engine I’ve ever used…

[GeoG2]

You haven’t been on the internet long if Bing is the worst search engine you’ve ever used.

And I’m talking pre-Google… when everything besides Webcrawler and Lycos was borderline useless.

remember when ask jeeves was supposed to be what google actually is lol.

[Taito]

I can’t remember the last time I searched Google and got a result that wasn’t a fake article that copy-pasted Wikipedia, a bunch of news articles loosely related to my search, or a phagget-assed blog site promoted to top results thanks to the writer’s Google+ account.

Google used to be the best, now Bing and Yahoo are actually decent search engines, hop off of Google’s multi colored dickenballs and give other engines a shot.

@Sonicabid just mad he can’t afford a controller, let alone an actual console

“I stream NES games and 1980s shareware all day and u guys should listen to my current gen opinions. They are totally valid and im not a complete tool”

isn’t this coming from the guy who spends $50 every 3 months for a new 360 controller because the build quality is so shitty? stop being such a sucker and get a decent 3rd party controller that doesn’t break so often. Even if you don’t throw your 360 pad at the gelatinous mass of your GF, those face buttons will still stick down and the analogs will wear out fast because shit’s made in sweatshops.

Isn’t it strange how xbox one caught up to PS4’s sales out of nowhere I don’t believe it

[Rhio2k]

Killing off Xbox doesn’t benefit anybody. This is coming from a PS fan.

Might get us kof 2002um, ngbc, garou and last blade on a reliable current-gen system, instead of a bunch of 1990 - 1994 re-treads of inferior fighters.

[atirador]

Kill them with fire, just to be sure

[Gumpool]

the investors all got caught in the rage quitting jail and now they are out for salty paybacks

[Sonicabid]

I honestly don’t feel like MS is actually that integral to the gaming climate. I honestly feel like in MS dumped the console not much would really change. If anything it’s Sony who keeps MS somewhat honest, not the other way around.

If anything, they had a negative impact on gaming as a whole introducing DLC and online paywalls for general online gaming when online paywalls were reserved for MMO’s up until that point.

Remember when games use to release complete, now they purposefully hold back content(disc locked content) just to re-sell it to you later? Thanks, Xbox!

It’s coming from a dude who got a TE stick shipped to him from a guy in GD, then turned around and shit talked the person who was generous enough to hook him up with a 100-150 dollar gift.

Sovi3t has also gone through 8+ Xbox 360’s.

This would be a stupid move for xbox. Didn’t gates initiate the console war to try and gain a lead. They were losing money with the xbox original, losing money or barely breaking even with the xbox 360, and now should be catching up with sony with the xbox one. It’d be stupid to quit when you’re actually beginning to turn into a threat. Proof, here on srk, there’s no ps4 padhack and a shit ton of padhacks wanted for the one :).

People at Tech Talk begs to differ - Here you fricking PS4 Pad Hack

Dual Shock 4 PadHack Thread - aka you should padhack the hfc4 pad instead

I strongly recommend using thin wires like 30 gauge wire. I get mine from radio shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062641 You’ll also going to want to make sure your wire stripper can handle the tiny sized gauge. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j138/gocontourgo/projects/DS4_Padhack/IMG_0357_zps21e06c8e.jpg If you are planning to wire up the usb and not use the jack then you’ll want start there. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j138/gocontourgo/projects/DS4_Padh…

• No Bill Gates did not initiate the console war, Gates and the board of Trusties do not ever give a shit about gaming. Console Wars started in the early 90s with the SNES and Genesis.
• Investors been looking to ax the Xbox and the whole gaming division since day 1. They do not give a flying fuck about Gaming, ever.
• Microsoft makes more in a month from just MS Office than all of Xbox in a year.
• Most big PC firms, Intel, IBM, Western Digital they never gave two shit about gaming. In the 80s and 90s PC Games were a fancy tech Demo and to appeal to home consumers.

Here’s the killer app Xbox needs to survive, no need to worry no mo:

XBox Developing 1990s Music Series Based On Rapper Nas’ Life

“A comedy series based on rapper Nas’s life.”

[OrochiDemon]

So I guess all 3 console companies are in trouble. Xbone is a liability to Windows, the rest of Sony is a liability for PS, and Nintendo is a liability for themselves.

[VASaga]

I don’t think gaming needs to support 3 consoles and 2 handhelds

Either Microsoft or Nintendo needs to go. I mean Xbox & Playstation aren’t that much different
Nintendo is in shambles with what people want.

My ideal scenarios would be

1. Microsoft sells xbox to Nintendo and Nintendo gets their shit together to compete with Sony
2. Nintendo drops out of consoles and goes 3rd party and lets Microsoft and Sony be the competing forces

I bet my gaming library of any single console I own dwarfs your entire collection of comic books, mangas, HD DVD’s, Playgirl magazines & games from the Atari 2600 all the way up to your 9th 360.
