As an older person, I'd expect you to see beyond "because it's Microsoft". They made claims about their console and one of their biggest games isn't quite on that level. I agree that 30fps isn't a big deal, but that's besides the point. They pushed the series X as the go-to, 4K/60fps machine. Some backlash when your exclusives don't hit those notes is to be expected.
That’s generally how it works with Xbox and part of why they go through what they do. If your fan base doesn’t demand better, why put forth the effort?
Really, good on them with Starfield, but they have much work to do.
No one moved anything. You asked a question and got an answer. If it doesn’t affect you, then there should be nothing for you to be bothered with.
In this case, being a good game or not is irrelevant. People expected an exclusive game on the most powerful console in 2023 to be able to pull off 60fps (though I’ve advised tempering expectations from Day 1 - but that’s also irrelevant). I’ll be on PC, so I’m not directly impacted, but if nothing else, it’s people saying “who c...
Because Sony didn't boast about having the "stronger console" nor 60fps (as we've seen with Greenburg).
Money where your mouth opens or keep quiet. I get what people's issues are.
Because they don't sell on it.
I need some of what you're on. It's powerful stuff.
When you leave LaLa Land, you'll realize that NONE of what you posted has any validity at all.
Last thing Sony should do is ever take pointers from Microsoft regarding Xbox. Clearly what they are doing is working, and by the time these games release, both shows will, as usual, prove to be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Check back to this sort of talk when Xbox comes anywhere near PlayStation in units sold, games grabbing GOTY, or money made.
Outside of Steam's sales, you won't hear about its totals anyway. So, pointless statement.
What IS for certain is there are big games who tallies will be there for all to see and will likely have little trouble topping Starfield, such as Spider-Man and Zelda.
This game is about to bitch slap all others that release near it (unless it's CoD)! :P
The difference is Sony actually releases quality single player stuff. At a high rate. Nintendo also releases quality first. Like them, Jim Ryan clearly knows what he's doing.
Xbox is the only one to be worried about (and the only one that's relevant to: How Refall Destroyed Arkane).
Whataboutisms should be called irrelevanitis.
What you said changes nothing about what Microsoft has been caught doing here.
The simple explanation is that the internal drive is much faster than is needed for the game, but doesn't mean they could have run the game, as it is, on just any PC with any SSD. Trust, I game mostly on PC and it's more complicated than just "but this can run it and it's slower". Like they said — thr SSD is screamingly fast. It is a game changer and does provide instantaneous speeds speeds. This was also before the game was even considered for PC, so they were talking a...
"Marketing hype".
Was there a faster SSD on PC than the PS5's in 2020? Answer that, tech raptor, and then the blanks will fill in themselves.
"Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a game that utilizes dimensions and dimensional rifts, and that would not have been possible without the solid state drive of the PlayStation 5," Smith said. "The SSD is screamingly fast. It allows us to build worlds and project players from one place t...

"Competition" meaning Xbox ........ you know, the ONLY OTHER CONSOLE in this comparison.
Apply being "cheeky" when you aren't clueless.
But is what though? Its price was lowered (the X has yet to see a price cut) and nothing came of it (in fact, it got soundly beaten last holiday). If it were a hot item, you better believe Microsoft would screaming that from every mountain top.
@rlow1
The Switch was in this comparison? Oh, right.
Even if it was, that negates none of what I said.
Game Pass is not moving the needle. Never has. The issue for Series S is most people want the X
If anything, it makes the PS5 look better! It’s absolutely demolishing them!
Tell me — how big was Final Fantasy on Xbox again? It hurts all of less than 1%.
Remove CoD from PlayStation. The consequences would be ENORMOUS. AND, a third party deal =! buying a whole publisher.
Whataboutisms. Irrelevanitis strikes again.
