In Response To Peter Moore’s Interview on 1up

Omg....I have nothing sarcastic or witty to say as of now...give me a min..nope nothing

Dang DJ, I couldnt of come with half that. but really, I read the interview, and it was BS. you dont ask questions like that. im in a newspaper class taught by a guy who worked in a newspaper. You are suppose to make the interviewee feel safe and secure and you ask ONE question like that at the END of the interview. not and entire of page of that. PM should of just said this interview is done right away.

ya that intreview shouldn't of happened.. was a waste of valuable time to mr. moor. sigh..

Wow, you are right. The reviewer is an a$$!

I think your response is spot on. You could talk more about the irrelevance of the graphical differance between some of the titles that are on both consoles. While King Kong is clearly a powerhouse on the 360, some of the other games do look about the same but whose fault is that? If Activision wants to do a quick port of Tony Hawk from XBox to Xbox 360, is that the 360's fault for not making the game look better then it was made or Microsoft's for not adding the "Make lame port of last gen game look amazing on new system" feature to the 360?

I hope MSFT looks elsewhere to give thier next interview. While I don't expect anyone to neal before Peter Moore they certainly don't need to be so combative and aggresive. They aren't a cable news network!

So I guess a good interview is one that kisses their guest's ass right? Or maybe they should ask what is on most people's minds, I'm going with the latter.

I read this article in a magazine, I forget the name but whatever it was 1up did this piece because it's the exact same article. I'm always glad to see an interviewer not kiss ass to their guest, especially when they have important issues they need to get out to the public. The fact that [b]YOU[/b] know the 360 problems are rare and not that big of an issue is irrelevant, because if you would come out from under the rock you live in you would realize that regular everyday people don't know this at all. They see a news article talking about 360s overheating and/or freezing, and that sticks with them until they read an article such as this asking the guy that should be asked about these problems. What is wrong with 1up letting Microsoft come out and tell everybody these cases are extremely rare, seriously, wtf is so wrong with that?

And to you grampa, if Microsoft only gave interviews to the kiss asses, then they would be doing just what Bush administration does and would be a complete disservice to their customers, or potential customers.

This interviewer wasn't out of line at all, if anybody thinks that they're just being anal over nothing and shouldn't be reading interviews if they get them that pissed off in the first place. The interviewer jokes around with Moore so it's obvious he wasn't being that harsh with him, and I would think Moore is smart enough to understand people want to know what the deal is with the overheating issues, so it's not like he wasn't expecting to get that question.

So lets recap what 1up did, they asked Moore some important questions and let him answer, wtf is wrong with that? That isn't being negative, that's being informative!

Oh and Coola, I'll be happy to write a response to this response if you want me to :P

Hey,

Sure, just e-mail it to me [ Coola@Xbox365.com ] Right on!

Look, I don't have a problem with the questions but rather how they were asked. He could have simply asked, "Why are low selling games Barbie Horse Adventures backwards compatible when games like Splinter Cell are not?". The interviewer isn't any more "hard hitting" by setting up the interviewee with the previous three questions. He just sounds like an a$$.

I have all sorts of other rebuttles in my mind but I don't feel like typing them all out. As I said, there is all sorts of middle ground between the interviewer rolling over for the interviewee and being combative. I don't think either extream is appropriate.

Maybe when you read the magazine version of this article you don't take things so seriously because from my perspective of reading it in Walgreens at 2AM is that the interviewer was poking fun at Moore, being half serious and half "joking jackass". If the interviewer asked his questions all nice and fluffy, the interview would have been boring and none of us would have paid attention to reading it, thus being just one of many stale interviews with Microsoft VP's.

And I was joking Coola, I don't really care that much lol

Oh and o1w hit the nail on the head, I agree 100% with what you said.

I guess I agree with o1w as well. I've just never seen an interview like that with Sony or Nintindo.

Oh, and I will conceede that I'm not on boards much looking for Sony or Nintindo interviews. If there is stuff out there like that then I'd love to read it.

It seems some people have this opinion that I posted this because it favored MS. That isn't the case, I posted this because the author asked. If anyone else asked to publish something they wrote, whether it be a review a preview or an article written about a recent topic like this I would be more than happy to. (given of course that its readable ~__^)

"bah HUMBUG"

I liked the interview. I thought it was great. Ass kissing interviewers are old school. Peter Moore did a good job answering their questions. I look forward to more 1up interviews where hopefully they'll put the boots to Sony and Nintendo...

Originaly Quoted in article
Thats news to me!! So in other words each core is pretty much similar to the Cell sans the
SPE's. Thats interesting...very intersting.

I read the article in the magazine. I thought the interviewer was somewhat unprofessional in the way he worded his questions, but they were questions that needed to be asked. I got stuck with a defective 360. I am really suspicious in microsoft's claim that only 3 percent of the intial launch was defective. To be fair to microsoft, they replaced my system three days after I mailed it out to them. However, it did take three different phone calls to the support line before they would send me the box. One of the support staff spoke very little english.

The other important point is the backward compatibility. Before I bought my system, the Big M said the 360 would be BC with all the best selling games. I am sorry, but Barbi was not one of those games. I can not play half of my games on the 360. Someone needs to hold microsoft's feet to the fire and the interviewer did just that.

Lastly, props go out to Peter Moore for lasting thru the interview. His resolve was the most impressive part of the interview.

You guys are idiots. You made a big deal about nothing. Peter Moore liked the interview. As I said if he didn't he could of left. nothing was stopping him. From Dan Hsu:

Some people have to get off the fanboy wagon!!

Shoe,

Well we certainly stirred the pot with this one...! Just wanted to reassure you that I thought the interview was very fair and balanced, as well as somewhat entertaining...

I think it is good for the industry that we do more interviews of this tonality...don't stop at me... [Smile]

Cheers,

Peter

mario,sonic,castlevania,contra would all be sweet on xbox 360. The last two will happen since microsoft has capcom on board now. the first game from them being resident evil 5 that will sell as many xbox 360s as many gamecubes were sold because of resident evil 4.

Since microsoft has capcom and konami on board I mean.

Hey, look. Somebody has to ask the tough questions. Otherwise you might as well start believing every word of microsoft's press releases. we owe it to ourselves as consumers to hold these people's feet to the fire. the ability to do this is critically important to a healthy, growing, competetive marketplace that works to the benefit of all gamers, regardless of which console or company they prefer.

1UP, EGM and that whole group of PS fanbois will always do that. That is why I hate thier network. I put anyone down who actually subscribes to thier mags or pays for anything with thier name on it. I always encourage people to go talk shit to thier editors and give them a huge heap of shit, just like they do to the xbox and 360 community.

I seriously have a problem with the ps2 being listed beforethe 360 on many sites, it just goes to show you how hard of a fight MS is in for and why Mr. Moore was treated the way he was. He should have just punched the dickweed in the face, because its obvious the interviewer had a pic of Ken Kutargi in his pcoket and was rubbing his snatch with it.
