Owning an xbox one apparently.
A lot of people in here saying "well he's right". About attach rate? Sure. But he then goes and says
Which isn't quantifiable and just a stupid thing to say unless his goal is to stir up console war nonsense.

True, it is like saying "I'm so nerd", why label yourself ?
Can't be just a person who enjoy comics, super hero movies, video games, science fiction, rpg ?
in other hand I do know (unfortunately) some people who will use this to provoke others saying that they are true gamers, that their gamescore is a proof that they can talk about games.
But in the end, if you aren't crazy, this means nothing.
Greenberg sucks just as much as he always has. Should have been replaced when they axed Mattrick tbh. Not doing them any favours
Your state, or local government, will usually have a ceremony if you pass a test.
Have you not done this?
He isn't wrong. Folk like Zhuge have said the same thing and it makes sense once you think about it.
you can bet certain section of their fanbase are using this. Why is exactly why he said it
Ugh. Another cringeworthy statement from Greenberg.
But I'll bite. This statement needs proof, in my opinion: "sales data for many games are much higher on Xbox"
Many games sell more on Xbox you say? Okay, name them.
Name the multiplatform games also available on PS4 that have sold more on Xbox. We'll wait.

I ve got a badge from the Ministry of Interior, Casual Gaming dept but i want to apply for an upgrade hence the question. Also, can one use it abroad?
Isn't Zhuge's statement based on Ubisoft's report IIRC which is few years old?

If he's not wrong then how come this site isn't heavily skewed towards Xbox? Or are we all filthy casuals here on this gaming site we talk about gaming and other casual gaming news casually?
Gamers don't travel externally. Only through games. We aren't gamers because we have one destination but because we choose to have many.
I can't, just delete my account. I'm so sorry.
I would associate the exact opposite with an audience for entirely western games which require an enormous marketing budget to be remotely successful.
Greenberg is probably my least favorite PR guy.
Everything he says is stupid and disingenuous and he feels like a remnant of a time in console history that ended many years ago.

Come on really? No kidding the console with the smaller userbase will have a higher attach rate due to having a lower percentage of casual gamers. Hardly thread worthy. This site needs to have some standards lol.
I've tried for certification four times now, it's just not happening. At this point I'm resigned to my filthy casual status.
A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!
It would be nice if execs drop this 'hardcore gamer' shit, its not 2004.
Not hard to believe the attach ratio statement. Just because one console sells more hardware and software doesn't mean it sells more software per hardware unit compared to the competition.
That NPD data was retail only. We have no idea what the attach rate would be if digital is included.
Anecdotal but this has been my experience for over a decade now. Those serious about online gaming and such got an Xbox (often with other consoles and/or PC), those just interested in playing all the hip games just picked up a PlayStation - this is definitely the scenario in Italy at least. Can't really comment for other countries.
Greenburg is probably reading this thread laughing about how much feathers he rustled. Meanwhile his kid has been secretly harboring a ds4 for when he goes to his friends house under his pillow.
One day (likely 2moro) his wife will discover it. It'll be an uncomfortable discussion at the dinner table, but ultimately through conversation with his child, he'll realize the console warring is tearing his family apart.
Expect him to retract this statement tomorrow. Sometime after dinner in his timezone

Please provide the facts that Xbox One has higher attach rates.
Same thing I'm wondering. I've been gaming since the 80s on PCs and on consoles. I basically started gaming even before I knew how to write my own name. Am I a casual now because I don't own an XB1?
My graphics card alone on my PC costs more than an XB1 and I've spent thousands on dollars on gaming over the years but I guess according to Aaron Greenberg I'm a filthy casual now because I play on PC and PS4 XD.
It may have been playtime but I could have sworn it was sales.

People should stop using one company's statement as general statement in gaming industry. That was for Ubisoft only, doesn't include EA, Activision, Capcom, Codemasters and so on. Really, it's dumb.
I thought I had a 3rd party source but can't find it. I do agree though, although its the only source that points either way.
There's so many things you have to take into account to say such a thing, another typical Greenberg statement.
Same here, can't stand the man.
He reaks of that stereotypical slimy salesman, and I know they all are business men at the end of day, but I wish they had replaced him when Mattrick left. I don't know what sort of work he does within MS, but as a PR mouthpiece almost everything he says leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and always seems to want to fan the console war flames as it were.

Maybe he was just talking about the people who did those 1billion shots
If only they would talk more about their use base being more socially engaged (real world) and those features imthat make their fan base strong. They have a survey on the Insider hub about charitable giving via Xbox (like Amazon Smile). Why not talk about that and how their audience is primed to support goood causes?
This Warrior why stinks.
