I did not read the write-up, but...so I'm responding to the topic write-up.
"the first-person perspective for an iconic face like Indy is still off-putting."
You don't see the character's face while playing 3rd person unless you stop and turn the camera.
That is besides the point, there is stance you took against this type of acquisition/monopoly type situations.
It's about you word and your stance..with the it's ok posture you are taking now shows you only find outrage when it fits your nonsensical fanboy, console warrior BS lol
Your word and "Stances" means very lit
Chevalier,
Man that FTC shit is old now, the data at that time wasn't even the most up to date, so now it's really not even viable information anymore.
And then you say DS is "exception", if this is selling, and Cod is selling, and the vault edition is selling, then we can clearly see it's not only this one game.
By your logic, who obviously knows better than developers, no game should launch on Xbox...it's such a ...
I know this game gets a lot of "Who asked for it" hate, but done correctly, it could be awesome. Imagine Mech Dino hunting with friends, setting traps, and devising awesome strategies for taking enemies down.
I know it sounds like Monster Hunter, but the gameplay in this game is way different from MH.

"Remember when you used to be excited for games? It's a very different message coming from you now,."
You say that, then talk about,
Hardware(which is the main topic)
The industry
Streaming
Wealthy people
Other platforms
and then layoffs
Everything except games lol. What's even funnier is that he does talk about MS games, all the time, but that is n...
We’ve got more to come. There’s some exciting stuff coming out in hardware that we’re going to share this holiday. We’re also invested in the next-generation roadmap. What we’re really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation,

Didn't MS say they would be showing up the biggest technology leap in hardware this holiday season?
I wonder if they are still sticking to that timeline?
Agreed, timed exclusives is the way to go for them, and so far everything concerning OG IPs that they have done has shown that is the path they are doing.
And if Indy is an example to go by, new IP will follow the same pattern of Xbox first and PS later.
Cod, Diablo, Doom and other franchises that have a big PS following I think will be the only day one games(possibly fully Gaas games as well).
Lightning,
While you make some valid points, there are some people who actually prefer the Xbox Eco system over PS, let's say the Xbox X/S caps out at 40 million sold at the end of the lifecycle, that is a fair amount of players and a lot guaranteed GP subs...the thing that counts to them, and they don't have to share profit with another console maker, for those particular gamers.
Additionally, I have been gaming for a long time, and people should...
I'm an Xbox fan. and I would love the chance to play with/against PS players in some MS games.
Why meltdown? it only equals a more diverse player base and more fun.
Huh?
So, you do not want the upcoming Halo games, but you see the glory days coming back?
Are you saying the MCC on PS5 will bring back the glory days?
Why wouldn't you want the upcoming game on PS5 with UE5?
The "green camp" smh...
Anyway, yes a "Flex" is when you use a piece of information to prove your point, but use it in very pompous way....like this.
"bUt, bUt...iT'z a FlOp cAuSe iT'Z sTiLl AvAiLabLE eVeRyWhErE"
So no, my conclusion was spot on.
Wtf did I just read.
So a company making and releasing a console, and not expecting a lot of sales and saying they have tempered expectations,is something for you to brag about now?
What a weird ass flex by you.
No, it would not be like saying that.
How long have you been gaming, or is it just your inability in this particular thread to post a compelling argument?
S2,
Your post reads and seems to contradict the way things work. For starters,
"There are a lot of amazing games for it but not enough to make it a console on its own"
My emphasis here is on the words "a lot" because a lot of quality games would be the reason people would pick up a headset or make it enough to be a "console on its own."
"we look at the last generation of VR. Even on ...
S2,
You should re-read your comment, think about it a bit, and then re-read it to fully comprehend what you typed, which is so off-base that it's almost comical.
The Switch games looked very pleasing, loved the style.
Personally, I don't think it will sell well, they may move a few units, but it's a 5-year-old game with a mixed reception even at launch.
Now you launch it right in the middle of Xbox gamers playing CoD, D4, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R right around the corner, then Indy following shortly after.
I think whatever sales small sales they get on Xbox, they should put it in GP so they can get the fee from MS, and then build a presence for the game among Xbox game...
The Switch is a great system..you don't seem like you would buy Switch 2 anyway.
Also by your logic, PS3 and Xbox 360 were old pieces of shit, they lasted like 10 years..old systems are not crap because new ones launch lol.
So just to be clear, all the other numbers you 100% agreed with except the Xbox numbers. You even quote the drop off numbers as truth, and then stated you were looking forward to this months numbers...smfh.
You can't make this shit up lol.
