It seems like the 360 isn't doing too well, so Microsoft is being blunt with their new marketing campaign! Right in Asia's balls, grr baby!

Fun site, after that they ask you what consoles you have and which you intend to buy, and a ton of crap just falls onto the screens advertising 360 Icons, Emoticons and Desktops.

The Singapore site is all in English.

    heh, this puts me in mind of a great big hulking muscled handsome fellow with money and a car etc asking why women won't go out with him, whereas the somewhat meek but more charming fellow down the road has beautiful women hanging off his arm.

    What's that 'u' doing there anyway? "What's wrong with the letter u?" Gee, gollygosh, I dunno. Stupid question to ask really.

    Seriously, what the ######? Writing 'u' instead of 'you' is for retards who can't remember how to spell a three letter word. Remember how a site called utube went down under pressure because it got swamped by people too retarded to spell youtube? Yeah, that.

    Seriously Microsoft. I expected more. What's next? All I want for easter is an XBoxen?

    Well, the domain "what's wrong with you" where probably taken, so they resorted to this.

    They resorted to FAILURE when SUCCESS was not in their reach? Man, what a business model. Must buy stock now.

    I enjoy games that are fun, I don't know if that's a flaw, though.

    What's wrong with us? We don't have money to spend on a $299 console. Most of us don't have HDTV. We are more than content with Ragnarok and PS2 graphic, Half-Life mods, and games that don't require $1000 PC hardware. And when you see broadband statistics, Asian gamers use it for PC games, not consoles.

    I don't think you guys are allowed to say "we" when the website's not even targeted at you. I mean, a guy from Belgium isn't exactly a representative sample of the people that Microsoft is going for with that thing.

    Right... especially since Asia has a super high demand for Japanese Games. If you're from Belgium but have the same qualms with 360 that Asia does, <b>you just may be a weeaboo.</b>

    I'm from Thailand, I think I'm allowed to say "we"
    And seriously, sure we imported most game from Japan, but most of the time we preferred English version... since I don't speak Japanese.

    Oh noes I'm a weeaboo because I used the word "we" to make a point in stead of "I".

    We, I, it doesn't matter. No matter what, you're not the person MS is targeting with these ads. You're irrelevant to the discussion.
