Man, this shit is so hilarious. I love reading the xbox fans threads on the subject. I for one will wait for Indiana Jones to be on PS+ inevitably. The 1st person is a turn off to me.

 

[nial]

ffs I need to do some work today but this is too entertaining

It's all fucking gold.

 

[Humdinger]

Show me ONE single post that has said that.

I wouldn't say "Xbox first party are good now," but I am pleased that some of their first-party games are perhaps coming to PS5 -- Indiana Jones, Hellblade II, that Clockwork game, the new Fable ... way down the road, Elder Scrolls VI.

Ironically, these are all the games that were already in production before Xbox purchased these studios and that would have been released on PlayStation anyway if Xbox hadn't purchased those studios mid-production.

This is %100 true except for Fable.

True. Not Fable, though, correct? And I suppose I wouldn't mind the Master Chief Collection showing up, either.

It's funny, while MS and Sony are fighting over the first place in console war, Nintendo assured them a place with unique hardware and great games on the side.

Eh, the 1st place fight has actually been with Nintendo and PlayStation. Xbox is the kid wearing steel toe boots trying to catch the top two wearing their best running shoes in a relay race!

• Tim has heard that Call of Duty may not be coming to game pass.
• Hardware sales have not met the projected sales and the CFO got spooked.
• In the last three months of last year, they had consoles for $350 and no one cared.
• Xbox One was more wanted than Series consoles.
• They said the hardware is dead, and they are seeing declines in hardware year over year.
• Game pass is unsustainable; the market they have is not enough to offset the cost.
• Tim heard from someone at Microsoft that you may not like Xbox when they get Activision. They want ROI.
• He heard that Xbox has an insane showcase with tons of games, but everyone is going to be saying asterisks.
• The leaks happened because a Microsoft employee who didn't want this to happen leaked it, so there would be a public outcry.
• Microsoft now has no problem buying more companies in the future if all games go to all platforms.
• Tim thinks they will go all-digital, with ads on game pass (pre-roll or at the end of a chapter e.g. Like a Dragon) and AI community managers.

This sounds like hell. This is Microsoft in its full form, unimpeded from the suits. AI community managers and game pass ads. Welcome back Micro$oft

 

[Flabagast]

At least we wont have to hear the unsufferable "next year will finally be the good year for Xbox",

Xbox is now dead forever

 

[Heisenberg007]

Yep. I didn't see Fable in there. That's totally XGS.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Notice how virtually no one in this thread is talking about the Indiana Jones game? The thing is DOA.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

MS going to have to move their fireside chat up.

Now THATS squirter.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Did you expect this? I think I heard you say this was unlikely, were insiders privy of this?

I have brought it up from time to time here that Phil has tried to get MS MP games and even Gamepass onto Playstation but had to back off because I guess I got reported too much for console warring

So none of this surprises me and contrary to what many think with how hardware sales have been even going back to last gen its something Phil wanted and I think its just to sell more games and hopefully eventually subs on PS

Shareholders want one thing, money and if the powers that be think selling games on PS makes them more money thats all they care about

They for sure don't care about the Timdogs of the world going through a mental crisis over this

Is this guy real or some A.I made by Microsoft.

He's a paid MS shill.

Indiana Johnes and the Last Console Crusade

Looks real. Jesus Christ lmao. So sick.

I was saying it nonstop in the acquisition thread... and I will say it for the last time.

This is why I do not trust Microsoft.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

A.I. without the I.

 

[Negotiator101]

Then why all the interest? Starfield is coming to PS Gaf blows up but apparently no one cares?

 

[Montauk]

A new strategy? Is “giving up” really a strategy?

 

[Schmendrick]

Then why all the interest? Starfield is coming to PS Gaf blows up but apparently no one cares?

there`s one hell of a difference between curiosity about this development and praise for individual products my dude.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Microsoft to Disney.

Can we have our money back?

Disney: No because the deal made sense back then.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Nintendo lost against PlayStation. They came out with a hybrid after the WiiU failed.

On the home console space, no doubt! In the views of the public though, the Switch is duking it out with PlayStation. They succeeded where Microsoft failed — mindhsare.

It will be one for the history books if in a few years from now the results are that they took a $16b gaming business and bought a $9b business for an end result of a combined entity doing 11-$12b.

Just wow, if that's the way it works out.

I was hoping for some excitement today.

Boring.

Going back to palworld.

 

[mckmas8808]

I would love if Sony made some big changes, they can start with removing the additional PS+ tiers.

I would also like to see all of PS+ go, along with paid online subs but that’s probably a bridge too far at this point.

So you want Sony to stop making big time money, AFTER MS is about to go 3rd party?

 

[Woopah]

Nintendo lost against PlayStation. They came out with a hybrid after the WiiU failed.

They lost with the Wii U, won a few years with the Switch, and are currently losing to the PS5.

 

[bender]

It's allí fucking gold.

 

[Puscifer]

Stupid. Just go full third party at this point.

Honestly it would be worth it. I still argue Microsoft's gaming division was WAY cooler before it shifted to consoles

 

[BlackTron]

Nintendo lost against PlayStation. They came out with a hybrid after the WiiU failed.

Playstation won against Nintendo fair and square, but then Nintendo came back by changing the rules of the game.

Sloppy seconds and you have to pay more? Oof

Eh. Now u know why Sony games no longer sell that good on PC.

We gave Sony a bone with spider man and god of war. Telling them we can buy your games. But do proper release. They started giving up shit games and sack boy. Now every game they release it sell less and less than the one before it.

Shit companies only learn the hard way. These Japanese people at Sony think we are retards or something

Yeah, I am interested in Horizon but it released at full price on Steam. I'll just wait for a sale since I waited this long already.

Colt dropped a new video today, I generally avoid him but watched this one. His recent video seems entirely different than normal, actually saying some things against Microsoft. Way different tone.
Has he gone rogue? the checks stopped coming? or is this Microsoft scripts?

The Xbox vs Microsoft internal fighting sounds a lot like Sega Japan and Sega America.

 

[Dick Jones]

 

[Sethbacca]

I guess all those queasy stomachs will be fine with the first person view now

I had zero interest when it was gonna be playable on pc and I still have zero interest if it comes to PS. So no. Not likely.

 

[mckmas8808]

They are intentionally just putting feelers out there, doing these controlled leaks, to create a cushion for themselves and craft their messaging as well.

There is also a strong possibility that they leak more than what they intend to do at this stage. For example, Microsoft leaks that Indiana Jones is also coming to PS5 this year. Then when Microsoft announces that Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves are coming to PlayStation, they refute the Indiana Jones rumor and say something like "Indiana Jones is not coming to PS5 this year. Those rumors are wrong."

That will give Xbox fans a (fake) sense of relief, and that'll make it easier for them to accept Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves going multiplatform, as in "phew, at least it is not Indiana Jones as well!"

Classic consumer psychology manipulation 101.
