Toys R Us Xbox One Video Removed Due To Comments
By Christian Williams on 10/10/2013 inXbox One


Toys”R”Us, the world’s leading dedicated toy and juvenile products retailer, was forced to remove it’s Xbox One demo video from YouTube today due to the enormous amount of obscene and racist comments. The video highlighted the Xbox One as part of the company’s “Fabulous 15″ list but was quickly besieged by angry PlayStation 4 fans giving it thumbs down votes and users leaving profane and racist remarks. Comments were later disabled for the video and then it was completely removed.

Toys”R”Us has 877 Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, and in more than 685 international stores and over 170 licensed stores in 35 countries and jurisdictions. The company’s “Fabulous 15″ campaign is a yearly tradition that highlights the best new toys of the holiday season. Xbox One was listed this year while PlayStation 4 was not, angering some gamers.
 
Poor Geoffery :( He didn't mean for things to get so out of hand, he's just a Giraffe!
 
Hard to believe SonyTwan said something bad enough to get xbox1 content pulled. 11 likes on top of that! Isn't that cutting's new name?
 
The sad part?

SonyTwan isn't wrong. I honestly think I never plugged in my XBL mic unless I was in party chat with friends. Back in the OG XB days I would meet cool gamers almost every night. Sure there were many of the type SonyTwan remarked on but through the OG XBL days I had a full friends list. During the 360 era I think the only people I ever added were from TXB.

That's not to say it doesn't happen on PSN, I'm sure it does but I think I've spent maybe 10 hours total playing MP on my PS3 through the years so I can't really comment on the PSN "community".
 
The sad part to me is that people that like video games will hate on something that plays what they like. And the best thing in the world for their precious is to have a healthy competitor to push the envelope on their system. Not to mention their immature insults tend to produce the polar opposite effect of what they desire. LOL.
 
wow people are really sad that they have to make that much talk about the X1. If anything its kinda scary.
 
This is what happens when you link some good news about Xbox at NeoGaf.
