Xbox One unveil - Why did MS became so snooty and pretentious!?

I was watching the 2005 unveil of the 360 early on.. It got me thinking, When? How? Why!? did MS turn into this snooty pretentious company!?

I mean seriously:

good times..

Ohhh look like Steve Jobs... just lammer.

Last podcast while compared the 2 unveil, Brad mentioned "we all have grow up" since that last MTV unveil. I'd like to think there are better ways to grow up, you don't need to become an up tide ass, apparently MS does.

I'm 32, I love tech, I have a decent budget, I should be exited about the XBONE, yet MS manage to do the opposite in me. They seem to have lost touch with reality, this unveil feels so alienating. As I said I'm not a technophobe, I love tech.. but when it is presented with such pompous and arrogant manners its actually a bummer.

When I speak about arrogance I'm not talking just about the unveil production, I have nothing against good production values.. I'm talking about tone and message. Apparently MS knows better than everyone else: what we want. They gonna revolutionize:

- How we watch TV, and make it easy - because apparently we are to dumb to use cable or something, also is 2013 who the %&/( pays for cable anymore, common people.

- How we navigate the internet on our TV - yeah because using internet to consume text in a huge ass screen is always a lot of fun. Also consider myself and the people who has the budget to buy this thing at launch most likely have at least a smartphone, a table and a couple of laptops/ultra books hanging around. Why would you use your TV to internet!?

- How we skype .. or something? - yoo skype on your TV amaaazing... again because you sure haven't heard of f"#ing smartphones . yooo WE ALL HAVE freaking smartphones by now. Also: it gotta be polite to talk with friends/relatives while playing a video game they gonna be enchanted about your multi-tasking skills.

Last but not least: The unveil tone reflects my general feeling about the XBONE, it is target to a mythical creature that is Half Dudebro - Half Internet Junkie, and has pathological case of Attention Deficit. Not to mention deep pockets, because ya know you need to pay a fee so you are granted with the right to pay another fee.

GG MS.
