Joke post? Xbox has no good games and is barely competing with Sony right now at all. Spencer is actually so full of crap.
Microsoft's PR site says they will put the 4K label on games that meet the following criteria:

To be fair imo MS need to use the same "rules" to put their "Enhanced"-sticker on a game, as Sony does with their Pro Enhanced label.
Its up to the developer to use the extra power that PS4 Pro and X1X provides, if a developer chooses to use checkerboard for their multiplat game, and Sony slap a 'Pro Enhanced'-sticker on the PS4 case, Im sure MS wanna be able to do the same.
Common sense.

Casual will buy PS4+XB1S for the price of XB1X.

We know he's not that dumb. He's trying to jab the Pro.
Assassin's Creed and more are already confirmed to just be checkerboarding on X lmao
No good games and no competition?
Man someone should tell him so he can stop wasting his and every employees time.

Nothing at Xbox's conference actually made a huge bang in terms of games. Unless I missed something there.

The interview wasn't bad and I hope we actually see these games he is talking about....but that Pro line was tacky. But it doesn't matter really so whatevs....hopefully the XOX puts this into perspective per his words

I think some feel personally lied to. We can all read the specs and many of us have already played a PS4 Pro or at least seen games on the Pro. Spencer is acting like the Pro hasn't been released yet and that it's all hype. It's quite clear how much the Pro improved some games over PS4 OG.
GAF isn't a total hive-mind so anyone that uses arguments like GAF is this or that is just nonsense. It's just lazy whining with no examples or evidence.
Also SonyGAF or XboxGAF is again tired nonsense.
Console warrior stuff is utter banality.

Oh, man. With all the very questionable shade he's been throwing at the PS4 lately, it definitely feels like he has a whole lot of confidence in the XOX - which I can't really fault him for but... lol what is going on, Phil!

Xbox team will never have a solid first party because they focus on second party deals with Independent dev teams.
Microsoft Studios hasn't really been a thing since like the original Xbox when they were publishing games left and right for the OGXB.
It's become even more evident with them contracting their first party studios down. Outside of The Coalition, 343, and Turn 10 all their other exclusive games will be done through contracting.

That is nonsense, especially considering the mandate of no XBX exclusives, so no games being built to require the power a XBX.
Neither has games built to require the extra power they have and both share that they literally just run XB1/PS4 games at a higher resolution and more stable framerate (or a higher framerate that's also unstable).

Low blow. I thought you could be a bit more classy.
A huge bang? They had a good conference with a lot of different games, what bang are you looking for?

It's not even a low-blow, it's nonsense.
Yikes! Good catch next E3 will truly be interesting.

Anthem is probably the best game announced in E3 at the moment.
And if I'm not wrong, in terms of announcements it is Ori and Forza 7 vs SotC remaster.
I used to think this before, but not now after that E3 showcase.
I wouldn't expect ALL their first party game to hit native 4K.

They had a bunch of indie games, most of which they are not directly affiliated with and can be played on other consoles.
Bang?.. They struggled to even muster a whimper.

This is the honest truth. I've been saying this forever.

What I mean is that they didn't have an exclusive worth buying an Xbox for. I have an Xbox and the conference bored me. It's just my opinion but I thought this was going to be the year for Xbox with a great exclusive on the console. Anthem is not exclusive and that was probably the best thing shown. I kind of wanted to see a big JRPG on the Xbox but that didn't happen.

Funny to think about the reaction here if the situations were reversed, and it was Sony with a new "true 4k" console saying this about an Xbox "kinda 4k" console. Might be a tad different lol.
It would be BS still.

Man, this is such a dumb comment. I suppose the Xbox one wasn't a competitor to the PS4 then. Whether or not the console consistently hits native 4k is a dumb, arbitrary distinction to make. If anything, they won't compete because the X is $100 more expensive.
oh dang, I forgot about that. Phil, stop with these interviews mann...

XBX is more powerful than PS4P, and there is no debating that, or downplaying it.
XBX>>PS4P>XBOS
We dont need people to argue about this.

What does getting angry in the morning over PR get you? Jezuzzz
He probably considers the UHD blue ray player makes it more powerful
Nobody is debating that. You must be seeing things.

So a PS4P that has almost 400% more GPU power than an XB1S (more if accounting for bandwidth, fillrate, etc), can't compete with the XBX that has 40% more flops.
Alright Phil lol
Alright Phil lol
You used to belive all MS first party games will be native 4K on Xbox One X, watched the E3 conference, and changed your mind.
Im not saying you are wrong, but may I ask, what specifically in this years E3 conference made you change your mind?

Who are you even talking to, friend?
You're not addressing the comments in the OP, neither are you even addressing anyone else's comments in this thread.

I am not, in no way shape or form, a "console warrior". I'm not going to spend hours on here searching for posts for something that we all know it happens, is happening, and will happen again.
