It sounds like a nightmare trying to manage all of this virus stuff to get hardware out, get software finished, make sure everyone is safe etc.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Cross-Play will be very impactful next gen.

I'd say they have it the easiest among the 3 platform holders because of their core business, the services/platforms they own so I reckon they are highly integrated.
Hardware side of things is final (DF showed the final specs) and Xbox did an amazing job with their website so that's off to the manufacturing facilities soon-ish.

I love Phil's desk. Wonder if it's a custom job?

Phil looks like he was up all night making memes for the Power King thread and shitposting with his 10 accounts on GAF.

"Unannounced signed deals with third party developers to develop under the Xbox umbrella."
Money hatting, yuck.

Had it on in the background. Don't think there was anything worth listening to except a vague hint about SeX pricing in the summer.
As usual, these chummy Q&A sessions are 99.9% worthless.

Like the Ori series or Sunset Overdrive?
I don't see anything wrong with that...
Money Hatting for exclusive DLC or 3 month window type crap I would not want to see however.

If it takes a standard third party game that was on all consoles and becomes an Xbox exclusive, I don't like it.
If its a new IP, maybe. Depends.

He felt 'Very good' after watching Cerny's PS5 presentation.
What else would he say? "I felt like shit so we're cancelling the new Xbox."?

If it's third party developers bringing some fresh ideas to Microsoft owned IPs I'm ok with it, but if it's just money hatting to get third party IPs as timed exclusives ala Tomb Raider, I'm not interested.

If it's DLC held back for any other platform owners then yes, Yuck! But since Sony and Nintendo can get 3rd party exclusives then MS should also get a good chunk of games too. Works for me

Why would he say that though?

Watch the interview... he was respectful of what Sony showed and specified that the audio and SSD are awesome but said after seeing what was shown he felt good and then I think he went back and said VERY good about their position. He also said their pricing is going to be agile and that they have the full backing of the company.
I know we have to wait until pricing is unveiled and for preorders to open up to know for sure but looks like Microsoft is going ALL IN this launch even if they have to take a decent hit on the hardware financially.
For those that now keep saying price and games matters most it looks like Xbox is playing this new generational launch smart and it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Exactly. Why would a PR guy say anything different? It's almost as if he's selling a product that is expected to generate billions of revenue for years to come. Your .gif response was a bit confusing tbh. The quote was as boilerplate as you can get.

Yeah I wouldn't expect Cerny to say any different.

He could of said 'i dont want to talk about Sony, i'm sure they will have a brilliant machine' etc. I mean sure Ryan was trying to goad him into sayiing something fanboyish, but still Phil said he felt very good where they are at after watching Cerny, with a huge grin while saying it.

i have to say if you don't take it too much seriously or put too much belief into it, it's funny.

That was a great listen, he answered most of the questions as well as he could.
Intriguing stuff about the long-term planning, he basically admitted he has a "winning plan" and feels good about it. I can only imagine the heat they'll turn up as we get closer to launch, it's gonna get feisty ladies and gents. Hopefully, all for the better!

I think he's saying he wants a full return to form for the Mech Assault franchise.

He was talking about Mech. I'd love to see a new MechAssault and Crimson Skies.
His comments on pricing make me think it's going to be below $499 but we'll see.
