@Nakatomi_Uk How would 2nd person work?

@PsBoxSwitchOwner People always complain about everything being a sequel, reboot, remake, remaster, port, or live service, but then still complain when there's a decent new game.

@Banjo- Out of all the insects (uh, cockroaches?) You go with the praying mantis? They look awesome. Lol

@Raw_Dawg Adapt how? Play PC games? It doesn't need to. All three console makers are going down different paths.

@TheGameThrifter I'm glad they're making a hybrid. I'm hyped.

@sixrings You really think they'll say anything substantial at GDC that the public will hear about?

Only reason why I played consoles was because of exclusives, physical discs, and powerful specs in a small form factor. Exclusives are basically dead now and physical seems to be on the way out. The only thing that kept me from PC gaming was how it's harder (and pricier) to build a small form factor PC that fits next to my TV. I like that online play is free. I like that you're not locked to one storefront. I like that you can use mods. A hybrid Xbox/PC would be perfect for me.

@Globo Why are you so mad? At least with Elvis and Tupac, you can still enjoy their work. It's a little bit harder to track down a 360 with the blades.

@Millionski ...Then that would just be a PC. It's being marketed as playing both Xbox and PC games, so it has to run natively.

@Gamecuber Those are the two reasons. Switch 2 is your only system or you want portable RE9. That's not enough?

@Banjo- Why? Because Nintendo decided do something to set it apart from the competition. And it's worked two out of three times (verdict is still out on the fourth time since the Switch 2 is new). Their plan must be working.

You have to remember that this is portable RE9. I think that's pretty impressive.

@TheGameThrifter Did those games do well on Xbox? I'm assuming that's why they were ported to other consoles in the first place.

@Gemini53 ALL Switch exclusives are brilliant? I don't know about that one...

@NeoRatt Sheesh. Why so many?

@Banjo- They didn't work on it though? Asus did.

@BacklogBrad Is it the obvious? Xbox has been in a state of flux for the past couple years, especially now with the change in management.

@Fiendish-Beaver "I don't think the fact that she is female matters one iota to most people"

You're kidding, right? We're talking about gamers. Just look at the comments directed at Sarah Bond. There was a lot of screeching about her being a DEI hire and way more heinous crap.

@Banjo- Hardware sales DO matter. If it didn't, why kill off Windows Phone, Zune, etc? Years of R&D aren't free. Manufacturing isn't free. Marketing isn't free. If Microsoft is making its money from other platforms, what reason would they keep hardware around for?

I doubt they'd kill off the Xbox brand as a whole, but consoles wouldn't be developed and manufactured by Microsoft anymore. At best, third parties would slap the name on their hardware (ala ROG Ally). At worst, Xbox would become strictly a subscription service and third party developer.

@HonestHick I'm so sorry.

@RegnumSolipsi What about Booty?

@Gemini53 What do they like?

@Deformedpye For PC? Sure. A vast majority of people play consoles on big TVs in their living rooms or bedrooms though.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Oh wow. That's so cool! Wish I could travel to the future like you can. It sucks that the next Xbox is just a "crappy PC" though. Y'know, since you've seen the specs, features, and played it already.

@EvenStephen7 I don't know if they'll sell off IPs. They didn't do it with Perfect Dark, despite being given the option by Take-Two. They'll close more studios before resorting to selling.

@GuyinPA75 Regardless of being right or wrong, I don't know why you're so excited about being this. I never understood people who get excited about being right about something negative.

"Let's go! Game Pass is getting more expensive! In your faces!"

@Fishysensei Core is a downgraded Xbox Gold. Games with Gold allowed us to keep (Xbox 360) games. It's dumb we have to pay to play online. Lol

@Elbow Buying digital is never a "no brainer."

@AccessibleDaydream Please don't make this a thing again.

@Dimey Crash and Spyro have both returned and were moderately successful. I definitely agree about it getting canceled if it ever did get the greenlight though.

@InterceptorAlpha Let's not get too excited here. It's just a rumor.

@themightyant So, you only hate it because skill issue? Got it.

@chesheer Huh? What are you referring to? You act like all games have "tasteless and bleak rap."

@ATaco Have you not seen gameplay of SF6, FF7, and Cyberpunk? They look great.

@nomither6 Personally, I disagree. 360 is when consoles really started feeling the same. 3rd party exclusives started to become less common. I say 360 was equal with PS3. PS2, Dreamcast, and SNES were the greatest imo.

@SMJ Why are you stopping with the next gen?

@fatpunkslim That's a looooot of assuming. Just because Horizon 5 released 4 years later on PS5 doesn't mean that the same thing will happen wth Horizon 6. It could be a couple months like Indiana Jones. Flight Simulator is rumored to be on PS5 and Switch 2 too.

@Fiendish-Beaver The current rumor is that Starfield will be announced for PS5 at the next Playstation State of Play.

@shoeses Why did they take away your ability to redownload?

@abe_hikura Not sure if you're in the US, but if you are, you should open a ticket with the BBB. People like to make fun of them, but I've gotten results multiple times.

@Utena-mobile What were you thinking? 🤔

@Steel76 Because it's not practical for everyone? They either don't want to run a cable from one room to another or they don't want to have a tower sitting in their living room. You can stream, but then you're bringing latency into the equation.

@GeorgeKal All of their games are movies? Stellar Blade? Rise of Ronin?

@MrBook Not sure why tying your identity to a video game console is any weirder than the other examples you used. It's all strange.

@Weapon_Wheel Why don't you want to go Nintendo, PlayStation, or PC? You have three other options and you don't like any of them? Lol

@Fiendish-Beaver You wrote all of this when it's still just a rumor.

@SodaPop6548 Shhhh. Don't question it.

@InterceptorAlpha Lol. Major Nelson and Phil Spencer are NOT the same. You're giving Major Nelson too much credit. Phil is CEO of Microsoft Gaming, which is completely different than a program director for Xbox Live. Phil oversees all of Microsoft Gaming.

It looks fine.

@nomither6 Still plenty of great games coming out.

@nomither6 360 was the best? It was good, but I felt this generation was the beginning of PS and Xbox feeling very samey. A lot of the games were available on both consoles. There was a handful of exclusives and that was it. It really came down to which UI and controller you liked more.

@Nalverus What's globally expiring?

@BacklogBrad Microsoft had a chance to get rights to a Marvel IP, but they passed.

@GamingFan4Lyf Positive directions for execs. It's definitely not for consumers.

@Banjo- Huh? All the games would be coming to both, so not sure how you came to the conclusion "Only games released for PS5 are Xbox games."

@Fenbops How was it hot garbage? Lol
