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.

    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
    • Man, the memories.
    • Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
