Move over Concord and Overwatch 2 and Valorant and Marvel Rivals, and those tiger Overwatch clones, Xbox also has a 5v5 hero shooter that will surely stand out in a saturated market.
You can go back further to last year’s Kinda Funny interview with Phil. Microsoft has been slowly getting the Xbox user base ready for this. It’s like the parable about putting a frog into a pot of water and slowly turning up the heat. We will be at boiling when Halo comes to PlayStation.
A lot of high end SKUs are made in low numbers. Considering 50% to 75% of Xbox Series sales are Series S, I don’t think Microsoft expects to sell a lot of the $600 console.
Too many SKUs and names because Microsoft is incapable of learning anything.
These are game trailers. Calm the fuck down.
My money is waiting.
Some of this is from Microsoft so they can see the response to their plans for game releases. Some of it is because we know what is coming but the games industry is so frustratingly secretive. The rest is clickbait.
If Sony can release two remasters of The Last of Us and Rock Star can release two console updates for GTA V, we can have another remaster of Halo CE.
“Callisto Protocol” was a PS+ monthly game about 9 months ago and it’s not a bad playthrough on easy mode.
There was already a great Guardians of the Galaxy game and people weren’t all over it on day one. There’s also Marvel Rivals with the Guardian of the Galaxy as cast members. Why won’t you be all over that game on day one?
The $/hour argument doesn’t work anymore. When you have a backlog you’ll never finish, quality becomes more worth more than quantity.
Meta is losing billions on a business that theh will probably walk away from like they did the Facebook phone. Temper your expectations of your investments in Meta’s hardware.
Yes. Instant classic even though you have to dig through YouTube to watch the end of the story
Everyone is focused on having current gen exclusives as if losing last gen support will magically make games better. Games like Fortnite and GTA V embraced last gen and were huge hits. Switch games like Zelda looked worse than last gen and were huge hits. If this console generation is like any other, we won’t see the best of current gen games until next year.
I can’t think of any deaths that had any meaning to me as a player. Life is cheap in Night City.
“I believe Xbox led most months in revenue over PlayStation as well.”
You have to go back to 2021 when PS5 supply was limited by Covid to find a month when Xbox Series X/S bested PS5 in hardware revenue.
“I think this is a sign of Xbox needing a major console update and solidification of the brand and its goals.”
Microsoft’s CFO and CEO see this as a sign they should sell high margin games on PS5 and abandon low margin Xbox hardware. ...
For at least one holiday season, PS4 Slim was selling for $200 with 3 pack in games. The biggest price drop I’ve seen on PS5 is $50. That’s a big difference in margins.
Spider-man makes more money from licensing than any other comic book character. So don’t expect Wolverine to sell as well.
“Hellblade” wasn’t the biggest game. Xbox is a platform built on hardcore PC shooters. What did folks expect from “Hellblade 2”?
Game feels one Crystal Skull too late but I’ll hold judgement until it releases.
