[Jigsaah]

Reading these comments...are people seriously damage controlling one person's opinion?

Jesus fuck you guys are sensitive.

 

[longdi]

One more thing, despite Tim Sweeny shilling for that $250m, he was offering praises to the PS5 only, he never did spoke of the performance differentials between the new consoles.

This shows Gaben dont give a fuck about political correctness, if it is better, it is better.

In conclusion, lets not allow Halo Infinite noise to distract the coming of Series X. We can be sure other developers, third parties, can tap the power advantage it offers.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Imagine having the better console and still losing the race.

 

[Rikkori]

Games are still overwhelmingly GPU-bound, so ofc XSX is the better hardware. That doesn't mean a PS5 might not still be the better choice based on games & other factors. Chill.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Gabe looks so zen like he is.

I would have wished he gave more information as to why, but he probably can't.

Anyway, Gabe is a big MS fan, he used to work there and I get the impression he still has many friends inside the company... but this is the personal stuff, we can't argue with "because it's better" that can literally mean anything.

How hard is it. God some people are just hard work man.

If gabe had a dev kit or XSX dev kit it would be relevant. He does not have a ps5 dev kit.

So what basis is it better ?

Geoff has a PS5 and offered to get one for Kanye West, you think the PS5 systems and dev kits aren't widely distributed at this point for higher ups and celebrities? We're only 4 or so months from Launch... of course everyone but general consumers have them.

it is better, there's nothing to argue

unless you are a lunatic

 

[ZZZZ]

He looks like a fat Geralt.

You called?

 

[kyoji]

To be clear, gabe prefering xbox is not going to save xbox or get more people to buy in. Youre kidding yourselves if you dont think MS has a long uphill battle, they havent done themselves many favors these past several weeks either.

 

[YCoCg]

To be fair this is the same man who pushed millions upon millions of wasted money into Steam Machines.

 

[The Pleasure]

Gabe Newell looks like trumps old doctor, Harold Bordstein

 

[CatLady]

He said he prefers XSX over ps5, he said he has no horse in the race and prefers PCs on the TV interview.

Thats it. No horse in the race means HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN EITHER.

What do you think no horse in the race means ?

Its funny your extrapolating things based on a one line quote. Thats all he said.

Read into it anything to your hearts content. Reading comprehension is hard for some.

Thats interesting. Gamepass is also on PC, so I guess he doesn’t see Microsoft as a threat (at least right now). You know he would be changing his tune if that were the case.

 

[Griffon]

Looks like he's lost weight. Looking sharp.

 

[Tesseract]

valve is playing piano in vr, get on their level

i really don't think he gives a fuck

 

[Dolomite]

He failed to answer why he chooses x over psx.

He said and I quote "it's better"
I see no lies

 

[Venom Snake]

I don't understand why some get triggered because of this tho. People are free to pick sides according to their own logic.
Also, neither of us will make a decision to buy one of the consoles based on what guys like Newell or Sweeney say because ultimately we let the games do the talking.

Give it up, there is no need to be upset

 

[Blond]

you guys are doing the same thing Xbox fans did when Tim Sweeney praised the PS5.

Just saying

No, he's right, Gabe use to work for Microsoft and left in good graces so it's not like he doesn't have love for a company that helped make him a billionaire.

 

[AGRacing]

"I choose to not develop anything for either of them.... but... "

 

[Patterson]

Both systems are better at different things.

 

[ScaryBrandon]

The only person so far whose opinion on this matter matters.

 

[Portugeezer]

Spoken like a true master race PC gamer. XSX has more Tflops therefore it's better is what he's getting at.

 

[Tesseract]

Spoken like a true master race PC gamer. XSX has more Tflops therefore its better. Xbox also better than PS2.

xbox was better than ps2

 

[CuNi]

I didn't know that the opinion of a man could hurt so many "adults".

 

[Bryank75]

Well Xbox is closer to Steam Machines than a true console...in terms of tech and sales.

 

[teezzy]

 

[The Fartist]

He's never like PlayStation consoles, that never stopped Sony from dominating and having the best games.

 

[Redlancet]

And thats good, on paper is more powerfull, but lets see the price, the games output, services etc

 

[Angel of BOOM!]

XBX is no doubt a powerful piece of kit (quite possibly more powerful than PS5 in some or most areas that matter). However.... it's all about the games. And to make great games you need great teams.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is great. Gabe is awesome.

 

[Dolomite]

Both systems are better at different things.

Correct. Also correct that Gaben's( couldn't resist) honest opinion, the XSX is simply better than the PS5. His heart likely pumps hardware and RAM instead of oxygen rich blood cells, this opinion was to be expected. Plus the only praise I've really gotten from the PS5 so far are the SSD speeds. Well that and most recently it's RT capabilities

A Lamborghini Diablo is better than a Ferrari Enzo to many. I'd still take either

 

[Gamezone]

Weird. The guy behind Steam recommends a Windows 10 device from Microsoft. The company who pretty much wants to release all their first party games with Xbox Live support on Steam moving forward.

 

[Bryank75]

He's never like PlayStation consoles, that never stopped Sony from dominating and having the best games.

He may be a god to PC gamers but he is completely irrelevant when it comes to consoles.... and Epic is a more pro-developer platform, with the support of Tencent, so I don't see Steam winning that one.

 

[Skifi28]

Tha's......nice, but there's not much to discuss seeing how he didn't give any reason why. I prefer pepsi over cola, come at me.

 

[JLB]

And now the Sony fanboys attacking Gabe. I've seen everything haha.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Because the Xbox makes games for Steam, Sony is a competitor on the VR space and Sony is getting close to Epic.

No, he said because it’s more powerful. It’s true too.

There’s no need to be upset.

 

[Freeman]

No, he said because it’s more powerful. It’s true too.

There’s no need to be upset.

I don't believe every PR statement I hear, hey, maybe that's why I don't play on Xbox.

If you were so confident in Series X being so much more powerful you wouldn't try to be constructing such narrative preemptively, are you afraid if won't show? Show, don't tell.

 

[Dolomite]

...yeah no. I'm happy for HZD and Death stranding (hopefully GOW?) Finally arriving on PC via EGS to beef up it's content but steam stomps the dog out of Epic game store. It's not even close. The UI, the community, the fluidity, where most streamers play their games, global availability, cheaper/more frequent sales and actual Content. Bad take. You're cool, you're great but that opinion is garbage juice

I didn't see him say it was more powerful. Just that it was better. Obviously we can imply that's what he means (and it probably is) but... you know... Just saying

 

[Patterson]

i really don't think he gives a fuck

Probably true. He’s so set for life and beyond that none of this ultimately matters to him.

 

[bumleforce]

It’s gonna be interesting to see the difference in multi plats. I think Xbox is gonna have that down like it did with x vs pro. It’s up to them to show first party power and they are failing hard

 

[Bryank75]

I'm joking.... I prefer PlayStation by a lot compared to Xbox.
However I think Steam does what they do very well. EGS is fine too but I don't want China controlling anything in the west.

 

[geordiemp]

Its good to see Gabe backing his former MS employees and the partnership with HP / MS and Valve on VR headsets.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

The console wars must seriously add multitudes of cortisone to some of you guys bodies, which isn't healthy in the least bit. There's no need to get so upset over what our Lord and Savior, Gaben has said.

 

[Dolomite]

LMAO my bad my sarcasm radar is on the Fritz. Never can tell on GAF

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

Lol he just don’t give a F. Sure I’d pick the most powerful console too if I were him. Duh..

 

[LeftThumbstick]

I told you, there’s no need to be upset, yet here you are foaming at the mouth.

 

[Fbh]

I don't know, makes sense to me. Dude is mostly about PC and Series X is the more straightforward "PC style" upgrade.
Man, if this thread is any indication, there's going to be some legendary meltdowns when both consoles are out and (if) Series X performs a bit better in most multiplatform games.
