Yeah, between that statement and the "mic drops" comment, they have no one but themselves to blame for the sort of backlash they saw. They need a complete change of message for the XSX or things, at least from a PR perspective, are going to continue to look grim.

Um, again, you harp on Xbox...

-They can have competition and it not be Xbox.
-They can produce great products without Xbox.

This isn’t complicated.

@zeuanimals

I said nothing about competition. I said Sony can, and would, produce great products without Xbox (lest we forget the PS1 and 2 were created before we ever had an Xbox). "Mismanagement" is happening, but it isn't with PlayStation.

Thus, the naivety is with you.

Sony will produce great products without Xbox.

In gaming, no, they are not.

PS5, like its predecessor, will have many showpieces.

I knew someone was going to bring up Microsoft. Lest we forget the most important stats, sales, were already revealed and the game broke, and continues to break,records?

On top of that, how often are these types of stats revealed for PlayStation games (particularly with any sales data)? Easy answer.

Uh, Ratchet, Returnal, Stray we’re all talked about positively, all showed gameplay, and are ALL exclusive.

Stop trying to lump Sony into this (and failing to make any serious point at that).

The devs said it would remain Xbox/PC only back in 2017, not Phil (to whomever said he did).

From "THE BEAST", I think anyone would expect bleeding edge. Where were the mic drop moments? Best looking games on the best console? Didn't exist.

"Don't bang on about 'the most powerful console' and show subpar games as your showpiece"

No better way to put it than that! For months, Xbox execs, and their fans, have run this "BEAST" narrative, only to present their flagship game with average visuals and not the knockout punch they needed to convince everyone not already bought into the Xbox ecosystem (which is a lot of folks) to buy the device. The faithful can lie to themselves and take...

Damn! Beautiful post!

Context is important. Then why haven’t Microsoft shown you even ONE game running on Series X hardware?

2001d ago 5 agree1 disagreeView comment

Never mind the lackluster visuals in their own - the game wasn’t even running on the console and STILL looked like that! It’s more concerning than anything that all we’ve seen is PC footage from Microsoft.

Another thing people who defend that show seem to forget. Where’s the ACTUAL Xbox Series X footage/gameplay?

2001d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

No, not the same as PlayStation, which showed...

Returnal - PS5 exclusive and looked next gen
Mikes Morales- PS5 exclusive and looked next gen

Demon’s freakin’ Souls - mic drop. Looked next gen! And yes, ALSO PS5 exclusive!

Ratchet - PS5 exclusive and CLEARLY looked next gen.

Horizon - another mic drop moment that spoke for itself. And, yep, PS5 exclusive.

None of those were pre-rendered of...

You really didn't think this utterly ridiculous post through, or perhaps you did and truly are like this.

If Sony is winning this one horse race and giving us what they’re giving us, then they don’t need Xbox. And it’s true, they don’t. Before it, we got the PS1 and a full year of the PS2.

Competition, yes, but I’d prefer someone like SEGA, who actually put forth the effort!
