I think it was pretty obvious he meant "how many of these damage control pieces are going to be written?"
I loved having discussions with people with opposing view points when they're talking in good faith, but I have no time for defence articles with deeply flawed logic.
Take this article for example. They support the ludicrous claim that halo isn't being held back in ambition, scope and complexity by an almost decade old console. Do I ...
You can ignore vg247. They are a very woke website, so you're using any illogical excuse they can to bring down GoT so that tlou2 looks better in comparison.
I think you're a little confused. MS is that one that nickle and dimes their customers with constant lies and broken promises (case in point the last xbox showing), not Sony.
What narrative? You mean the truth?
Everything you said is demonstrable fact, amazing post. You've described beautifully why getting a PS5 really is honestly a no brainer. They invest so much into quality mature AAA content like no other company in the industry. This company deserves the majority market share and the extra revenue that comes with it because they consistently reinvest that money into new risky experiences.
I genuinely can't comprehend why anyone would choose any other console as their ...
Well we know xbox fans left ms for the playstation by the MILLIONS this gen, and ms support this gen has been the worst in their history, and that's saying a lot considering they've had subpar support every generation they've entered.
So not outside the realm of possibility that even more xbox fans choose the better console next gen.
You do know PS5 has BC as well, right?
Are you high?
I don't need to imagine, I can buy what I want when I want. But that doesn't mean I'm going to waste $500 dollars on a company that has a history of consistently prematurely dropping support for their consoles and mismanaging their developer teams.
I can admit that some of games Sony showed might be a year off from launch or possibly more, but that doesn't matter, where as MS's case it does.
Why the double standard you ask? Very good question, let me explain.
Sony has a long 20 year history of stellar support for through the entirety of each generation. MS have a history of dropping support halfway through each generation, mismanaging studios, throwing around money to 'fix' problems ...
It's not weird that people have different opinions, it's weird that someone has an opinion that's contrary to so much evidence.
From the passion of your comment I can assume your an (was?) avid xbox fan (correct me if I'm wrong).
And when MS's own enthusiastic fans start seeing through the constant lies from Phil and Greenburg and are this disappointed and angry at their showing, it says to me MS are is serious serious trouble.
Did you just assume my gender???
That's hate speech!!
And you do know girls play games too, right? That's a very sexist comment.
"If Sony consistently having exceptional exclusives over the course of the ps1, ps2, ps3, and ps4 generations hasn't already "pushed" you toward ps5, you might consider seeing a psychiatrist, because something ain't right upstairs."
This pretty much 100 times over.
It's fine to still prefer xbox, but objectively speaking, playstation is miles ahead as far as quality games.
Where do I go if I'm in Australia?
I gota say, It's very refreshing to see the vast majority of people in this thread see Greenburgs deceptive damage control for what it is.
Even some of the moderate ms fans are seeing the truth.
"More excuses and empty promises"
This has been MS's mo for the last 3 generations and it's clear they will continue for the next generation. We haven't even started next gen and the lies and damage control media peices are already coming think and fast.
If it's shame of me for getting fooled after the second time (xbox 360 support ending halfway through the gen), what do you call it if I get fooled for a 4th time?
I had a great suspicion the ms was rushing their next console to market, and this latest showcase almost solidifies that as fact.
Halo is clearly not ready for release in the next 4 months and most of those games look years out, but ms don't care. They will simply not allow sony to go uncontested when they release, regardless of how under prepared and how lackluster the experience of early adopters is going to be.
I would argue the writing was on the wall of ms's lackluster support starting at the end of the original xbox and especially the mid generation of xbox 360, but it's great to see a new player coming to the playstation family.
I've been a huge fan since the original playstation and have not been burnt once in those 2 decades. You have a lot of fun coming your way, you won't regret your decision.
You know something tells me if this was a sony exclusive and sony had been running their mouth for the last 1-2 years about DA pOWer of tHE PS5 and all the flops its going to come with you would be completely shredding halo a new one.
But it's a ms game, so you gota play defence instead of admit the truth.
