@fatpunkslim careful with all those goal posts moves now.

@Deshalu

So....Tango hated working for MS so much that they wanted shut down? Do you ACTUALLY believe this?

No, Microsoft is porting games because Nadella wants too, nothing to do with Sony but I should've known that Sony would somehow be blamed again.

People twisting it as a positive is wild to say that least.

My Switch, then PC, then PS5 and my Series X is I want to play a 360 game.

@DannZan

Yes yes, Sony is evil for operating like the industry has since the beginning.

@beltmenot

Where did I say "I don't like this site"?

Amazing game, loved every second of my run.

@armondo36

Bro responding to a post after both users made peace trying to start drama lol.

@S1ayeR74

Nah, nothing to do with Sony but keep deluding yourself I guess.

@DreamlandGem

Excellent, I'll make sure to use this more often.

Happy New Year to you as well.

@DreamlandGem are these the kind of comments you're referring too?

@FraserG

Same to you my man, hope it's a belter of a year for you.

Got myself Indiana on Steam so that's a joy I'm excited to catch up on!

@FraserG

Fair enough, I'm sorry for being less than sure to be honest. The vibe on PureXbox is so anti-Sony every article that it feels like the whole site is just one big site to say everything wrong with Xbox is down to Sony or their fans.

I'm used to people here immediately calling me a Pony because I'm not exactly kind towards the brand cause I feel that the leadership is a genuine joke and wish the console could be unshackled from them.

@FraserG

Dude you're literally still saying you believe there's a deal with Sony despite the devs straight up confirming the reason for the issues.

I don't blame Microsoft or Nintendo when Sony's issues prevent them from getting games lol.

Sony did nothing, this was down to the Series S and the developers not having enough experience.

@FraserG

So as a journalist, you are still putting blame on Sony and then saying "well it's my views".

The facts were given, this was nothing and still is nothing to do with Sony.

@FraserG

"No one is being blamed"

"Personally though (with no inside information whatsoever) I think it's probably a bit of both - the Series S caused issues for the game, which meant they did some kind of deal with PlayStation while they tried to figure out the Xbox side of things."

Amazing stuff

@Ricky-Spanish

On what planet are Atlus games "child's games"?

Oh it was Jez Corden who confirmed this? I don't believe it for a second then.

Hate all subscriptions so will still just buy their games.

Still the only reason I keep my Series X.

@Stamnoso

Mind not rewriting history next time?

Xbox gamers were foaming at the mouth over exclusive Bethesda and would spout "You don't spend 7.5bn to share" every other day.

I wish they could have got all their IPs but alas.

@FraserG

Since when? All I saw on this website and other social media sites were the Xbox commuting gloating, theorising that MS would then buy Take Two afterwards, Sony getting spent out of the industry and attacks towards the CMA and FTC.

I didn't want this deal to go through as I don't want Microsoft's ridiculous nonsense being copied the industry over but why act like the Xbox commuting wasn't a complete joke about how "amazing" the ABK and Bethesda deals were.

@PSDeckSwitchOwner

Facts.

@TheEstablishment

I'm sure the armchair business analysts would just love their narratives to be true.

Still insane that you're not allowed to voice an opinion on Xbox here without it being scruitinized by the blind faithful if it isn't a glowing opinion.

I own every Xbox system and think this generation has been a complete joke. Every other Xbox has had something stellar and unique to it during its lifetime but the Series X has nothing that I would consider great.

I know the industry loved to mock the One X but that thing was so much more exciting than the current generation of Xbox.

It's also sad that because hardware is continually down for one brand, people on twitter and these sites are desperate to push this narrative that consoles are suddenly dying out or not as relevant.

@JaffeGaffe

Sony's "dumb moves" have made them the market leader and caused Microsoft to try anything to overtake them lol.

@JaffeGaffe

Or people who have a preference.

God I love seeing business analysts in these comment sections.

@HonestHick

Lol, I'm sure glad we have PureXbox business analysts tell us how these companies should be doing business.

Microsoft is only changing their strategy because their buyouts haven't went as they planned, simple as that.

They were gleeing at the prospect of exclusive Bethesda nonsense and said that their games will exist where Game Pass is.

It's a problem for the industry when one platform holder can get full reign because their leadership has absolutely no clue what they're doing.

@HonestHick

All they need to tell investors is "we don't have $70bn to buy up the biggest publishers in the industry to bail us out of a bad situation"

You mean like how Helldivers 2 is totally coming to Xbox despite Sony making it clear that it's not happening?

I highly doubt this will launch on Xbox.

Previously multiplatform games should remain multiplatform. IF the Kadokawa deal goes through then Elden Ring should also remain a multiplatform series.

Plan to get it on PC eventually.

Sure, Xbox and Switch totally need this shovelware.

Love seeing certain users glee at this nonsense of consoles dying off because their favourite brand didn't take off.

Consoles are relevant because not everyone wants to go through the hassle of building a gaming PC or keeping up with maintenance for one, Cloud isn't a viable option yet to be the sole way to experience games and mobile gaming is still met with division from the gaming community outside of Asia.

There will always be a market for consoles, shame that Layden decides to fuel fanboy nonsense.

No more acquisitions and actually utilizing the talent they do have.

@armondo36

Exclusive deals have existed since the NES era, let's not play dumb.

@MeanBeanEgg the industry isn't allowed to operate as it has since the 80s if it means Game Pass doesn't get a game day one.

@Ricky-Spanish

Woo, thanking you my friend.
