Playstation has been in massive decline since the days of Shu, Andrew House, Layden etc in many ways.
It feels like the current leadership are as bad at developer relations and communication as they are with their customer base and physint is an example of that fallout. The fallout and deteriorated goodwill from their userbase can be easily seen everywhere on the internet.
They really need a leadership reset like xbox did with Asha.
@IronMan30 I wouldn’t count it out. Display prices have largely held steady and in some cases have dropped so if Nintendo added an oled the increased price shouldn’t be too much higher.
@Banjo- you can easily run Linux on steam deck to run it as a pc. Granted some would prefer windows though there’s many out there that prefer alternatives too.
@AI-Generation funny you say that as I was thinking I'd actually love a new 8 or 64 bit system from Nintendo.
I know they don't have the resources to support it alongside Switch 2 but if they did the games would be quicker and cheaper to make and we might end up with Mario 64 2 or Ocarina 2 for example!
@Kilamanjaro that's interesting you say that as I noticed at MS events the crowds definitely tend to be... how do I say... extra enthusiastic, to say the least.
Even just the option for a drive would make me buy helix over a ps6. I know I'm probably one of the few but if xbox want to win some goodwill back from fans, this is definitely an easy way for them to do that even if it doesn't make much business sense.
For a lot of these I don't think it's always paid for exclusivity and more a lack of resources at smaller developers that account for the delay, similar to Wukong.
It makes sense to target the biggest markets first.
This is good in my opinion as it feels like an inadvertent acknowledgement that they've made some mistakes and bad decisions previously and are looking to make amends.
I'm just not sure I have any trust left from a personal perspective, they're so erratic.
I mean it's great to see xbox making some waves but most of this just feels like gaslighting to me at the moment. Sorry to be negative but I feel I've given MS the benefit of the doubt so many times and they've disappointed me more times than not.
Man another great racer set to collect dust with project Gotham, burnout and drive club. Hope FM makes a return some day. A switch 2 port would be perfect for me personally!
So she has no interest in games per se but is trying to make out she does? This all seems very suspicious just like the blades comment designed to get gamers on her side. That is of course understandable but I don’t buy it sorry sharma.
I mean this strategy is new so at least this early on there will be less day one on other platforms as the development for recent games started years ago long before multiplatform for Xbox was a thing.
This guy answered well and no doubt there will be more consistency in the years to come.

Re: Former PlayStation Boss Reveals His 'Surprised' Reaction To Kojima's New Xbox Partnership
@RTGX yes Yoshida was a dude and Sony have literally been in decline since he left.
He nurtured relationships, signed games and had complete respect from developers and gamers.

Re: Xbox Appears To Be Experimenting With Cheaper Game Pass Offers For Ex-Members
@PsBoxSwitchOwner yes dynamic pricing sucks. It seems both Sony and Xbox are moving to it.
Yet just another example of how crap gaming is becoming.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Of Xbox Cloud Gaming Do You Use Per-Month?
Sony and Microsoft are collectively doing a great job of making gaming considerably worse.
Re: Xbox Is Officially Putting Time Limits On Cloud Gaming For Game Pass Members
“We’re not building AI data centres quick enough so we need some of the cloud gaming bandwidth sorry.”
Re: In-Depth GTA 6 Analysis Hints At Potential Resolution & FPS Targets For The Full Game
I’d take 40fps on the pro. That extra 10 frames makes a big difference!

Re: Microsoft Announces New 'Xbox Gear' Merchandise Including Tees, Hoodies & Hats
Not really into paying to advertise a company for free but happy for those that do lol

@AI-Generation funny you say that as I was thinking I'd actually love a new 8 or 64 bit system from Nintendo.

Re: Xbox Boss Reveals Brief Thoughts On Elder Scrolls 6 After Seeing A 'Live Playthrough'
@Kilamanjaro that's interesting you say that as I noticed at MS events the crowds definitely tend to be... how do I say... extra enthusiastic, to say the least.
Re: Xbox Boss Reveals Brief Thoughts On Elder Scrolls 6 After Seeing A 'Live Playthrough'
Sadly these days I don't have much faith in Bethesda to release anything without bugs, performance issues etc. Hopefully they get this one right.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Is Getting Its Own Platinum Trophy, But What Will Make It Different?
@Coletrain haha anything but topless greek gods, unless they're female of course!
True though we'll have to stop being lazy and get the emerald 🤣
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Is Getting Its Own Platinum Trophy, But What Will Make It Different?
@Coletrain hah yeah true, the only one I can think of right now is "Bronzed" but who wants bronze?! 😂
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Is Getting Its Own Platinum Trophy, But What Will Make It Different?
@Coletrain Emerald is nice and does roll off the tongue nicely but if you've "Emeralded" the game it doesn't in the same way "platinumed" does...
Re: Halo: Campaign Evolved Is Getting Some Surprising Sales Estimates For Xbox, PC & PS5
I mean Halo has always been synonymous with xbox so I guess this isn't much of a surprise? Not to my brain anyway!
Re: The Next Halo Game Has Officially Gone Gold
@HelloCraigo (sorry late reply) haha thank you, we make a good team!
Re: The Next Halo Game Has Officially Gone Gold
@HelloCraigo too kind sir! 😂
Re: The Next Halo Game Has Officially Gone Gold
@HelloCraigo surely you meant "All systems go(ld)" for that tag line?
No, ok I'll grab a taxi!
Re: Rumour: Xbox Still Evaluating Whether Project Helix Will Support Physical Discs
Even just the option for a drive would make me buy helix over a ps6. I know I'm probably one of the few but if xbox want to win some goodwill back from fans, this is definitely an easy way for them to do that even if it doesn't make much business sense.
Re: Halo Studios Makes A Point Of Highlighting 'Physical Discs' For Campaign Evolved
Great news but let's face it this isn't going to last much longer...

They've done a great job with this for my tastes. Not gonna bite though...
Re: Roundup: All The Biggest Xbox Reveals From The Summer Game Fest 2026 Showcase
What a show, soooo many great games coming it's insane!
Re: The Lost Wild Not Coming To Xbox At Launch, Along With A Few Other State Of Play Titles
For a lot of these I don't think it's always paid for exclusivity and more a lack of resources at smaller developers that account for the delay, similar to Wukong.
It makes sense to target the biggest markets first.
Re: Onimusha: Way Of The Sword Gets Free Xbox Demo Ahead Of September Release
@deadmaker hah I'm the opposite! Playing 007b at the moment and changed run to L3 lol
Hopefully they'll add button mapping to the final game by the time it releases!
Re: Roundup: All The Biggest Xbox Reveals From June's State Of Play
Stuntman looks sweet!
Re: Xbox Hires New Exec To 'Strengthen The Console Side' Of The Business
This is good in my opinion as it feels like an inadvertent acknowledgement that they've made some mistakes and bad decisions previously and are looking to make amends.
I'm just not sure I have any trust left from a personal perspective, they're so erratic.
Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Changing For The Better, And Now Microsoft Needs To Be Consistent
Asha seems to be saying good things at the moment but yes MS need consistent messaging and to stop moving the strategy.
Her words are encouraging but also lacking much substance so it will be interesting to get more details whenever they're reaady.
Re: 'I've Ordered A Series X, I'm Back In' - Lapsed Xbox Fan Attracts The Attention Of Asha Sharma
I mean it's great to see xbox making some waves but most of this just feels like gaslighting to me at the moment. Sorry to be negative but I feel I've given MS the benefit of the doubt so many times and they've disappointed me more times than not.
Re: Xbox Unveils New Logo And Explains How To Make It Your Series X|S Background
Looks good to me, reminds me of the OG xbox days...

Re: Forza Horizon 6 Dev Explains How Turn 10 Has Helped Since Dropping 2023's Forza Motorsport

Re: Xbox CEO Shares Her Three Favourite Games Of All Time, Along With Her Gamertag
So she has no interest in games per se but is trying to make out she does? This all seems very suspicious just like the blades comment designed to get gamers on her side. That is of course understandable but I don’t buy it sorry sharma.
Re: Xbox's 'Pivot Away From Console' Had Been Failing And Questioned At Microsoft, Claims Report
Why do I feel the idea was nadella’s and the blame has landed on Phil and Sarah who have paid the price for it?
I can’t see them changing stance yet again and moving away from multiplatform but then Xbox do have a long history of 180’s so who knows!
Re: Xbox Creator Reveals His Two Tips For The New Microsoft Gaming CEO
I loved the Xbox brand back in his days along with Allard, Peter Moore etc. I know times have changed but that was peak Xbox in my opinion.
Agree with his points Shu, Reggie, Bowser and co would be a perfect way for her to get a crash course in what to do and not do.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From February 2026's State Of Play
Great show, too many games too little time!

Forza is forza, fable looked good but it’s beast I’m most interested in!
Re: Xbox Exec Explains Why Some Games Are 'Day One' For PS5, And Others Aren't
