“Hryb said the ability to order physical goods and food through console apps may not work everywhere, but he feels it works well in this instance.”
Finally!
This doesn’t really seem like that crazy of an idea.

Not really a big step ahead of ordering on your cpu browser, which I’m not sure was much of a big dal anyway. I personally have never ordered online in any form.
^You never used seemless web?
I think it’s funny because this is clearly targeted to a very specific customer - people who prefer not to leave the XBox to order food on their computer or iPad, or people who have XBox only and not those other things. The hypothetical question the marketers had to ask is “if people did not have to leave their couch, would they order more pizza?”.
This is literally the only logical explanation I can think of as well.
there’s no way anyone will say: “hey, i want a pizza. I’m going to ignore the computer or cell phone app, and power up the xbox…”
They’re targeting stoned financial professionals teenagers that play video games. It’s a nice target market for the pizza biz.
Yawn, tell me when they find a way to deliver pizza through my xbox.
Imagine wearing Google glasses. As soon as you have the urge for pizza, you talk to your glasses and order it in seconds.
No xbox to power up, no cell phone to reach for, no computer to walk to.
Imagine having a pizza parlor in your house:
“Yo Giuseppe, hook me up with a large Hawaiian, extra pineapple.”
Long healthcare stocks…
This is a really bad idea. Who wants to turn off MW3 or their Halo tournament to order a pizza?
I really only order pizza when there is a good special or coupon. I pick up a 16" from Costco for $9 when I really want pizza, rather then pay probably close to double that to Dominos/Pizza Hut. Either that or I make my own though the crust rarely comes out in a circle when I make it…
The cheese on Costco pizza gives me serious asslash. (Asslash (n) - Backlash from eating certain foods that cause explosive ass problems.)
