It’s June, we’re four or five months from launch. The time to launch early has long passed.

Rumour: Microsoft intends to launch the Xbox Series X before the PS5 by any means, even if the launch games are affected

Well yeah, they released a piece of hardware with a 50% failure rate in a rush to beat Sony by one year. It worked. It won't work now.

MS hasn't made a console that has had a problem with heat since ( starting with the xbox 360 elite). soooo consider it a lesson learned. Also its been 15 + years time to give the old comments a rest.

Who? What site is this?
I don't buy it since both XSX/PS5 will be limited in supply

Didn't that rumor start in a thread here on neogaf?
Well, yes, I can imagine they want to launch before PS5, but that would only change something if it would launch a year (more or less) and that won't happen.
A month before PS5 .. well I guess some would buy the xbox first, but later the PS5 as well. But those would have bough both anyway.

I have a hard time believing this. Most companies know it’s not about how fast you launch but by how well you launch. Microsoft is no exception here.

Just launch now Sega Saturn style. People love that console now!
It won't matter in those territories Sony could poop in a box and out sell Microsoft in the east mainland EU. I hope the rumors are true and Sony finally puts out heavy hitters day 1. Microsoft can't make any in roads into those areas until obsidian, inexile, playground RPG and the other new studios put new games.

That... that's a strategy. I actually don't buy it. For one thing, they're not REQUIRING you got buy a Series X, right? All of the 1st party games on Series X can be played on this gens consoles. Also, I have a hard time believe that they they think releasing a few months ahead of schedule of the competition is enough, EVEN at the expense of their launch games. IF that is the case, that is a BIG IF, I would really reconsider Xbox as my platform of choice.

Thats what the July Xbox event is about.
Phil Spencer ends the show with "Oh and just one more thing..."
CBOAT Walks on to stage.

Oh, and lesbian too, straight people are the worst!
We also need Jill Ryan from Sony, both sides need representation.

I see this as a possibility. MS is afraid of the Playstation juggernaut and will try to get mindshare by releasing early.

Sounds like a fake.
These consoles will be sold out for months. Just like last time it's the manufacturing and distribution capacity that will determine how well the console sells in the first 3-6 months.
IN that light the 1-2 month difference even if Microsoft osomehow flexes it's manufacturing muscles (doubt!) will do absolutely nothing.

Hi, I am Phil Spencer and we here at microsoft don't believe in hardware sales anymore.
We also will try everything to sell more hardware.

Lol it’s June. This would be a serious move if they launched in holiday 2019 for a year lead like the 360, but a month or a few weeks is nothing.

I believe they want to launch earlier, but these things are planned months and years in advance. It's not as if Microsoft will change their launch date based on what Sony announces tomorrow...
Since Microsoft already had an idea for when to launch their game studios know this too so unless Covid stirred stuff up, they are aware of when everything should be finished.

Why does the XBOX strategy to beat PS encompass everything except actual great games and experiences?
Lockheart to undercut Sony? Launch before Sony? The worlds Most TFLOP console?
How about they get some confidence in their platform and postion it as a must have in the console space by showcasing their machine. and the games built to run on that bitch. Oh wait...

Indeed, wait... Their game event is in July. How many games do you already know that will launch on the PS5? Just 1, Godfall.

A few weeks don't matter at all. It's all about the price.

Yes, the 15 studios they have now are just for show.
Can you stop trolling, please? Jesus christ.
But it took Sony almost the whole generation.

A studio is only as good as its last game.
Since these studios have no games - yeah they’re just for show until they produce something to show.
So let’s see MS make it a success. Their performance to date hasn’t been good integrating game studios... and now they’re putting time pressure on them too.
