E3 2013 - Microsoft's Don Mattrick Interview 

He did a good job.

Funniest part was when Geoff was like "Really that's your message?"

He sold me a PC

He screwed up so bad if i was Microsoft I would sue him for being a saboteur.

jxsilicon9 They booted him so hard i landed all the way at Zynga. He is fucking up that company now.

You can see him seething. Don’s statement was offensive to all gamers, irrespective of brand loyalties.

@@CrispyHulk1 irrespective? You mean disrespectful, right?

firecrackerjack68 No, I mean irrespective: as in all gamers were offended by his remark regardless of their console loyalty.

Y K he does have a point though. This was 2013. If you have zero internet access, you should be working so you could afford internet. If you’re a gamer, you definitely have internet.

TequilaMockingbird Most people don’t have access to good internet, not because of price, but because of shitty infrastructure. Internet back in 2013 and ever current internet is far too unstable for always online.

Sony Ponys are still bothered by this? This happened months ago and a lot has changed since then. How pathetic...

I've never owned a Playstation console in my entire life, so think twice before calling me a "Sony Pony". I'm just pointing out the fact that Don Mattrick is a total dumbass saying that they should buy their last generation console if they have no Internet. No, they should go to its competitor which would be the Sony PS4. Why get an Xbox 360 when you could get a PS4? So, yeah, Don Mattrick made a complete fool out of himself.

PAXperMortem yeah...a lot has changed since then...but guess why?...thanks to sony that fucked your dirty shit company... MicroShit....thats why u can now play offline....and lend games. Fanboy.

ProClifo I think what he said is retarded but if you can afford a gaming console, a luxury device, you should be more than able to pay for an internet connection.

bob fred The point is, the console shouldn't cripple itself to be unplayable just because it doesn't have an internet connection. It is pointless if you just want to play offline. I could come up with countless circumstances where you don't have Internet access. As long as you have electricity, you should be able to play on your console.

Xbox is still pretty big in America, it's actually in places like Europe and Japan where Sony kills them

@@JavierSanchez-dq8ie It's big but not like in the 360 days when everyone and their mothers had a 360. it was 80% xbox and 20% ps3, now its 70% ps4 and 30% xbox one

If by "America" you mean the whole world, then yes, you are right

@@felipeangel3267 Playstation was already more popular on rest of the world but not America. This even changed Americans minds.

Thomas Schmidt not true you made both of those statistics up

almighty_luigi and then killed a mobile game company within 2 short years

Matt McCoy lol

almighty_luigi Almost?? He practically did destroy Xbox franchise cause now gamers don't even trust Microsoft anymore dang.

‘Almost’ xbox is dead lol

​​@@Someone-eb6ihFound his comment 10 years later

he owned him so hard lmao. I still watch this video when im pissed off

2:03 think I heard Geoff laugh a bit

​@newsoul.9 Is this Don Mattrick?

@New Soul.9 yeah if you want to destroy your company lmfao

@New Soul.9 that's the reality in business Bec pissing off your cosumers is a dumb move. they are your source of income so never ever disrespect or insult them because they can easily replace you.

@newsoul.9 There’s a tiny little thing called supply and demand. If one brand doesn’t meet consumer demand, and another one does, then consumers will move over to the other product to suit their needs. That’s a fact in economics. Try and use your head a little, ‘shrug emoji’.

​@newsoul.9 let's be honest here. He said this out of spite and as a snarky answer because of all of the backlash. It wasn't genuine. And it hurt xbox.

He really helped ensure the Xbox's downfall. Which is still going on to this day.

@newsoul.9wow, you’re absolutely right. Yeah, it’s not like somebody could play offline games, listen to downloaded music, watch downloaded shows and movies, read downloaded books, take photos, take videos, write notes, use the calculator, look at the time, set an alarm, etc.. Imagine replying to a 6 year old comment with _this_ lmao.

@New Soul.9 Goofiest shiii I’ve read. That was like saying you need internet to play online games. Thanks captain obvious. 😂

He lowkey did. Remember that in the PS3, 360 era, Xbox dominated by a landslide. The whole Xbox One reveal and Don Mattrick’s remarks essentially handed Sony a win that lasts till this day.

@@OBOBProductions it didn't tho .. The ps3 outsold the 360

@@ValSX They're not wrong, though; for the majority of the seventh generation, the 360 _was_ decisively ahead of the PS3 in sales. On top of the 360 having a headstart by roughly a year, the messy launch of the PS3 was a major shot on the foot. It's only around 2011, after major shifts in both Microsoft and Sony's strategies, that the PS3 began to catch up and eventually surpass the 360's sales.

@@DavidHutchinson0713 that is true, but you can't say the 360 dominated by a landslide

@@ValSX Not until after next gen came out 360 won the generation

He told the truth

Xbox fanatic lol I didn’t your species of xbox fans still existed.

@Xbox fanatic I know what is going on. I have an Xbox. Sadly, there are no exclusives that interest me on Xbox besides Halo. I'm switching over to PlayStation when next generation of consoles hit.

Helljumper what took you so long.

@@Helljumper7200 all of microsoft's exclusives are on pc anyway, if you have a pc then there's no reason to get an xbox.

@@gregorymirabella1423 exactly it's ponies who care about console sales. It's about the ecosystem now. Pc, xbox and xcloud would have bigger install base than PS and Nintendo combined

@newsoul.9😂😂😂 what?

This was the moment Geoff Keighley witnessed a suicide and millions of dollars vanish into thin air

2024 and recent sales show that the PS5 is outselling the XBSX 5 to 1 so far this year. Xbox never recovered from the disaster that was the XB1.

True gamers play on PC only. Consoles haven't been good in almost 20 years.

Phoenix T And he is doing a wonderful job! God bless Phil Spencer.

SP4RTAN XL Trueeee!

Don ruined Xbox it will take at least another console generation to gain up where the ps4 is at right now... I hate people like don matrick who only care about making money, this guy doesn't care about Xbox, the moment he saw the sell difference and the way he didn't get what he wanted, he abandon Xbox and never looked back and never cleaned up his mess and left it to Phil spencer to fix all himself... Fuk you don matrick

+trvisXX Apparently this guy makes millions. LOL.

+Kyle 400 #sadboyz re-gain the lead? Lmao. PS4 has crushed X1 to oblivion.

shhesezzzzz!!!

Sealed dominance for basically forever lol Xbox series X is the last console from Xbox.

Probably yeah... one does not simply make all the wrong decisions again and again and again consecutively.

As someone who prefers Playstation. I have to say that i have so much for Phil Spencer for all the work he has done with xbox ever since he became the President of xbox. And for being very pro-consumer. Unlike Don and Sony right now.

Phil's still digging, I'll give him props when the brand's feet are on solid ground instead of just the tip of the head poking out of the grave

Hell, we're discussing this in 2020.

Me

How the hell did he end up saying this???

It was on Xbox One Reveal Event not on E3 2013

Don was a little bitch xbox made for games and he care about entertainment and kinect now phil change xbox and flipped the table

***** That's not going to happen. Microsoft has too much pride. smh.

it will happen just look at the ps4 even with the hate of the ps3 it outsell xbox

MOHAMAD ALMIQBAL I suppose only time will tell. Although I do believe Microsoft will fix up the Xbox one as well.

***** Me too bro Xbox been a good console since microsoft aannounced it and to see xbox sick that make me sad also there is rumors that the xbox one will get slimer verion hopefully we see a better GAMING console

Given the way xbox is now, would you buy a series x or s?

Joeresio Lorenzo "connections" his most likely a son or a nethew of a very well connected person one of the high ups in Microsoft..

@@latinochico He used to be CEO of EA games.

@@saivenkat_5733 well given how EA tries to nickel and dime you at every turn, that explains a lot.

Something I learned about console fanboyism, is no matter how badly a company screws something up, that person will defend their favorite brand no matter what. I know an Xbox fanboy, and he's the type of dude who says "Titanfall 1 is better than Titanfall 2" despite 2 being objectively better in pretty much everyway lol (Genuinely believe he was salty that Titanfall 2 was on the PS4) . As a kid I was fortunate to have a PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox and from then on I try to have most of the consoles when they release. I try to be open to most products on all 3 consoles and their choices, but the coverage that was going on with the one at the time was so horrendous, the One was the first time I openly skipped an Xbox console 😂 I've been enjoying the Series S though, and playing catch up.

That started already way before when they first showcased Xbox One with the focus on anything else but games/gaming. But ye comments like that only made it worse

He was right though. Look where gaming has headed now. Yet you don't whine, hypocrite.

Joker?

@@TheCaptainSplatter Yes

Dark knight joker 👍

This comment rings even truer today.

As soon as Don mentions the Xbox 360 Geoff looks and sounds pissed off lmao. I would be too in the face of absolute ignorance.

It is still beaten by Sony in all countries which isnt USA

lmaoooo

​@newsoul.9He was forced to backtrack on all those decisions and almost killed Xbox seems like he was pretty wrong to me

Won't survive 2024!

😂🤣🤣 no jim Ryan said don't finde a ps5 in stock buy a ps4 lol

I just heard about it! (I'm a PC gamer) But boy, was this arrogant and out of touch.

There definitely were. The big titles had a lot of attention put in them while today they push out a lot of mid. Not saying there aren’t great games currently, but there were more hits than misses back then.

If I could use it offline just like I did with my eight year old 360, I wouldn't care. But an offline Xbox ONE is more crippled than a guy with no legs.

Gets a lot of hate "We appriciate the *passion*"

Triton K175 Yo know you can use it offline now right! But their vision was ahead of time because if you see games now, for exaple destiny, requires an internet connection all the time! And nobody is complaining now.

eduardo ortiz I now have wifi so I'm fine. Currently six levels into Halo 5 and am LOVING IT!!!

Triton K175 Great halo 5 is really good

mobius one pc sucks
