Negative Xbox One Amazon reviews from Sony fans

Why do people feel the need to do this?

 

The guy named "Sony Prophet" has also commented on others: 'Could possibly be the worst launch title of all time. Microsoft needs to learn from Sony and release quality games.'

Yeah it was also sent in as a news tip, but I checked all 5 pages and none were verified customers. I'm not surprised this is happening after the genuine reports from last week, but Amazon should make it easier to filter reviews to verified only.

It happens both ways, one side can't be painted as saints and the other the fanboys. Amazon reviews are silly unless you pay attention to verified purchases, but even then apparently if you buy something, then cancel your order you can still do a review?

Seriously >.>

Yes, but there's a difference between expressing a valid opinion when you've actually purchased the thing and trolling.  A majority of the negative PS4 reviews were from verified buyers, and at the moment anyway not a single one in the X1 reviews are verified...  suspect at best.  It's not reasonable when it's purely posted to bash "the opposition" and unlikely based on any actual experience with the unit.

Seems like ps4 fanboys are butthurt cause ps4 (and its games) received lower review scores....

 

The worst part is that they're so obvious about.  If you click on the 1 star reviewers profiles, most of them rated the PS4 a 5 star just a little while ago lol.  It's sad to see people behave this way over a entertainment device.  I like my brands of choice, and I'll even defend them (to a point) as to why they make a compelling purchase for people- but I never insist they are the only choice, or actively go out of my way to slander and denigrate other brands.  These guys act like it's their religion or at least as if they're getting paid.  It's really sad that they do all that for free lol.

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon? It's annoying. It's almost as bad as allowing reviews for products before they're released, but I think they've stopped allowing that, or are at least clamping down on it.

Amazon reviews are screwed beyond recognition anyway.

 

I was looking to grab an emergency battery charger for my phone. Checked one out - loads of 5* reviews. Started reading through them, 90% said something like "Anker provided this unit to me free of charge to review honestly".

While I think fanboys are rather annoying, I am intrigued by the psychology behind it.

Interesting read and very true. :)

Pathetic. It was going on with the PS4 reviews too, although not to quite the same extent.

 

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon?

I've always wondered why they allow it too. Just opens it up for abuse like this.

I don't care about reviews...

 

All I do is buy a product and check it out... if something is wrong, I can take it back for exchange or refund. If they don't have return policy, then I wouldn't buy it.

 

Simple.

 

The reviews sometimes are full of trolls. They are looking for something to do... Like 'Oh, let's go to Amazon and post a bad review on it, heheheh.'

1.0 out of 5 stars Radioactive., November 22, 2013
This review is from: Xbox One Console - Day One Edition (Video Game)

Xbox One has made me sick, I think the radiation from the kinect camera has burned a hole through my brain as it scanned my vital statistics.

Buyer beware, I now have to go to hospital to get a diagnosis.

really?? wtf is wrong with people

I know, right. They always do that on there. Some are funny and some are retarded.

    • I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
