Why can't these choads be like. You know what guys, shit I was wrong and I admit that. I hope all ps fans enjoy the game.

Some people didn't get slapped for being chops growing up and it shows.

Because it’s all part of the act

I remember his YouTube videos, fantastic stuff when struggling to sleep

I hope it’s an act anyway, I fail to see why someone would be so smug over being a dweeb with a shit cap drenched in termite droppings

Sorry to disappoint you but Xbox games run best on PC.

And thats where the big problem lies with xbox. Naming every game that comes out "xbox" is misleading. Xbox went from a console to a brand. The consoles were NEVER the focus this gen and it shows.

 

[FoxMcChief]

>Doesn't block the merger
>Still kills Xbox
Jimbo really was too powerful.

I take back saying he looked like Gordon Ramsey’s fat uncle.

Insane how many people are cheering for essentially an all Sony future. That’s bleak as hell. Competition is ALWAYS best for the consumer. You’ll see.

The 2017 sock/alt accounts are coming out to play.

 

[MisterXDTV]

This douchebag has made MILLIONS running Xbox into the ground and couldn’t win with HUGE advantage in financial backing that’s how incompetent this guy is

He's great at spending somebody else's money though

"We've been planning a business update event for next week..."

 

[//DEVIL//]

I've said it for a long time, but I believe Phil Spencer was put in place to oversee the transition to 3rd party publishing, but gradually.
Everything that happened since he took over pointed towards this.

Something just went horribly wrong and it suddenly all came crashing down in a way they didn’t expect at all.

My guess would be the 10-year deal that Jim Ryan got out of the ABK acquisition.
It went horribly wrong real quick after the acquisition and now they're in full panic-mode. There isn't even any damage-control anymore.

It's also probably why Jim Ryan decided to retire. It was his mic-drop moment.

Who is in full panic ? Mfer was playing diablo 4 couple of hours ago.

The only people in panic mode are the sad existence of the fanboys. And to these people I would say

Good riddance you sad fucks. This goes to every side of fanboyism for whatever plastic box you worship. Just bunch of sad retards online.

General MLD is one of those week old. long hard dog turds that you gotta spray with a water hose and hope it washes away. and by hope, I mean use a fire hose

[DForce]

Someone give me tl;dr breakdown of what's been happening. Have rumours been confirmed that Xbox is going multiplatform?

Nothing has been officially confirmed by Microsoft, but reliable journalists have been reporting for weeks that Xbox games are coming to PlayStation. It picked up steam over the weekend and Phil Spencer has announced today that they will update us on the future of Xbox and their new strategy.

All of this is happening after subpar game sales, stagnant subscriber growth (also reported by Mat Piscatella), and terrible Xbox console sales.

A. Xbox isn't competitive.
B. Nintendo exists.

If this turns out to be Phil announcing where he's taking his employees on their summer team building break you are all gonna look pretty damn stupid in here......I bet none of you even considered that did ya.

I was referring to reports that there seems to be an internal struggle over at Xbox, Sarah Bond with backing of MS higherups changing everything to discontent of Spencer.

That and all the leaks and contradictory reports.

 

[CLW]

[splattered]

it matters since then there is no point in getting an xbox.

I have almost 600 games when I look at my library on Xbox. If they find a way to make all these games play natively on a Playstation they I guess sure it wouldn't matter. *shrug*

 

[havoc00]

[SenkiDala]

Damn the people saying "dudududuh now Starfield comes on PS it'll be a masterpiece huh? dududududuh" my Goooooood those people are so retarded. They say the same for Redfall for exemple.

They REALLY think that all the bad reviews in the world (the Steam ones too???) comes from PS fanboys... Sure some fanboys might have done it but 99% of reviews are honest opinions. And sadly yes Starfield might be in a better shape when it'll be released on PS, same goes for Redfall, the games would have been updated many times by then.

It's the same when PC players get FFVIIRemake with the DLCs included, same with Horizon, TLOU, etc, yes when a game is released months or years later on another platform it'll be the "definitive edition", so...

 

[FoxMcChief]

A look inside the MS office as they plan the business update.

Today's therapy session just started and they are screaming at each other.

One more week of this. One more week.

Going by that profile picture alone he looks to have a very punchable face, I just get the feeling he's never really been beaten down a peg or two and desperately needed so as a teenager In his formative years so as to be humbled and not be a cunt.

Grown up in safe spaces and protected by everyone around him I imagine and has never had a single consequence for any of his actions. It's the only way you gain that sort of personality.

That's impressive LOL. Midjourney?

Phil spencer is next level man. The whole Internet is literally moist at the thought of what xbox is doing and the guy is playing diablo iv with the boys and drops one tweet.

Ice cold

All fallen heroes of the console war should be allowed a return.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Whattt? he got banned? I thought he disappeared

 

[Jormatar]

Maybe we will get his resignation announcement.

[TheInfamousKira]

Today is like if Microsoft made an account suicide thread with a live tag on GAF.

 

[Shakka43]

Again, who's gonna keep investing in a useless console?

It's not useless if your intention is to use it as a subscription box. A lot of parents see a benefit on giving their kids a console, a subscription to GP and not have to worry about buying any extra games. It won't obviously sell as good as the Sony/Nintendo but it's not like they are doing any better at the moment...

 

[Sethbacca]

A. Xbox isn't competitive.
B. Nintendo exists.

Mobile exists
PC exists and handhelds are gaining popularity
Apple is starting to make forays into games on their hardware

The whole no competition talking point is basically stupid.

Nah, he had a meltdown like always.

As if Xbox had been competition for Sony in the last decade....

LOL

Jim Ryan is SO HOT right now. Keep popping dem champagne motherfucker.

Jimbo deserves it all.

 

[Flabagast]

The question is what killed the Xbox Brand?
Was it GP?
XboxOne?
No Exclusives?

Phil stated that the "xboxone" version was the worst one to lose because the people build their digital library with that gen.

It was Bethesda, and most specifically Starfield.

How ironic that what was supposed to be the savior ended up killing the brand altogether.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea as everyone else has said that confirms it. It really is the end of an era. If you weren't going third party you just wouldn't let massive business hurting rumors like this fester.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

He’s one of the most assine fanboys since the console wars existed. don’t know if his delusional YouTube channel is active. but my god he was insufferable to listen to let alone watch.

 

[bender]

The whole no competition talking point is basically stupid.

And streaming. But the usual suspects have bought into bogus Phil-speak like "we don't consider Nintendo competition" and "high end console market" when all these gaming companies are competing for your time and money.
