Well their "analysis" of Gears 5 was basically them just reading a note given to them by the developers. Whenever they talk about some of it's graphics features, they don't show it in the game, they bring up some random picture to show an example of it. He even messed up and says something like "when developing gears 5, we wanted to" like he was part of the dev team.
Differences between GCN and RDNA 1
There are architectural changes which affect how code is scheduled:
Single cycle instruction issue:
GCN issued one instruction per wave once every 4 cycles.
RDNA issues instructions every cycle.
Wave32:
GCN used a wavefront size of 64 threads (work items).
RDNA supports both wavefront sizes of 32 and 64 threads.
Workgroup Processors:
GCN grouped the shader hardware int...
Imagine if they had their way and kinect was the future of gaming. Or 24 hour check ins with kinect watching you 24/7
When ms was doing well with the 360 they didn't want to do crossplay. (Their games weren't empty) They even said some nonsense about how great xbox live was and didn't want to give their players a second class experience. And we know why pc isn't ever mentioned in crossplay.

It will go on gamepass when 2k22 is out.(When it's old and no longer supported)
Forza isn't free. I guess fortnite isn't exactly free on xbox either. Also RIP GWG, since ms will need any decent old 3rd party games on gamepass
Most good games are played for several months or even years. So if someone plays say HALO online for a year, using gamepass would cost him $120 or $180 if he used gamepass ultimate. The #1 game on xbox live is fortnite, which is free. What does xbox gamepass have that competes with it? Do you think if gamepass becomes the norm for xbox users, that you will still have access to great free games?(that are better than any game ms offers)
I agree with you on playstation winning next gen but I thought SONY made betamax , not VHS.

"in reality it still destroys every other fps out there or at the least on par for other people."
It's not as popular as it was in 360 days (when bungie developed it). If it's as good as you say then why is barely in the top 50 of xbox games? FPS games are still played the most on xbone, destiny is still top 10. There are 3 call of duty games more popular on xbox, even fallout76 is more popular.

They had a good start but became a joke to gamers with the kinectbox while ps3 games were getting goty awards. Like the last 3 or 4 xbox 360 e3 shows were filled with kinect garbage. So did you enjoy kinect?
That's not true at all. Almost every single multiplat has a 2-1 or 3-1 player base on ps4 and there haven't been any problems with the network. Japanese devs tried working with Microsoft and made exclusives for them and they didn't sell. Their games sell on playstation, it's really not hard to understand.
PS4 and xbone launched around the same time. They didn't finish the race and give up. The only thing they gave up was supporting the console and it became kinect box the last few years.
I think coming out with shit games for a few years hurt them pretty bad. When the xbone launched it was "selling at a faster rate" than the 360. After years of shit games even diehard xbox fans left to playstation or pc. I remember seeing xbox nation podcast guys saying they were playing on ps4 because xbox had no games lol
keep in mind nvidia's current gpus are 12nm and are still faster and more power efficient than amd's 7nm gpus that are out right now.

"I mean, is this level of complacency anywhere close to what we'd expect from the hardcore gaming community?"
These people aren't hardcore gamers, they're the same people who supported kinect and power of the cloud
Those "Series x" games were probably xbone games held up for the new console. Forza which comes out yearly didn't have a release this year and HALO which was out every 3 years has not come out in around 5 years. What launch titles does ms have? HALO and Forza? These were supposed to be xbone games lol. Great support
let's see how well it sells when they are asking $170-$180 a year.
Just make a new ip.
"a complete new look, tone and feel. No relation to the older ones and can market it as a brand new AAA game as if it's a new IP."
Yeah but they co-developed it too.(means they also developed it) They also came up with the concept and probably did most of the story.
If it doesn't work they will drop it just like kinect and all their other failed projects. I'm interested to see if people will stay on after their $1 sub runs out. IMO it isn't a good deal at regular price.
