I tried it, and Bing won't suggest anything but "amazing". I would expect nothing less from Microsoft. :rolleyes:
 
I think the photo is fake and I don't think the OP really tried it.

EDIT: I was wrong.

Hilarious!

I get "is ugly", "is terrible", "is going to fail", "issues", "is watching you", "is crap", "is doomed", and finally "is awesome".

I fully expect results will change over time, because auto-suggest is adaptive.

You forgot "the" in front of your query. If you type it exactly, it still shows up as "amazing" only. This screen taken 6/18/2013 21:20

You're right. My apologies, I forgot the 'the'. Interestingly enough I tired it again with the 'the' and no suggestions came up. Looks like Microsoft have taken action.

Very manipulative of them if the suggestion was deliberately entered.
 
Not confirmed. Just searched it.

Heh, that's funny.

I wonder if everyone here just entered alternate searches ("the Xbox one is a lemon popsicle") enough times and see if it ever appears in the suggestions popup. My guess is: no.

I also tried substituting "PS4", and Bing offered no suggestions, while Google suggested several strings related to release dates etc. Certainly, it looks like both sites are manipulating the suggestions.
