So Sony stands were crying like bytches for nothing? :pachaha:
Months of how bad this is for the industry and gaming, meanwhile overall outside of Nintendo MS gaming is probably one of the more secure places you can fall under.

Even the studio that got "closed" got reopened and sold.

They aren't losing money but Xbox fans have gained next to nothing from this merger and have in fact been losers overall for it. The merger really pushed Xbox into being more a third party publisher. You didn't see Forza on PlayStation until after this merger.
You don't actually believe it played it like that :stop:
So after buying Activision they THEN was like OH shyt, WE NEED MONEY AND FAST.
What are our options? Then they had this big think tank and at the end they came up with Hi Fi Rush, Grounded and Forza Horizon 5
THEN THEY WAS LIKE Have everyone says this is a tester and if it test well? fukk IT, HALO, EVEN SUPER MARIO :damn:
This is what's really happening, they are FLEXING ON Dem nikkaZ. Cuz once people play their games, they'll more likely become subscribers to Xbox Gamepass, the best deal in gaming by a country mile. You ready for South of Midnight? I'm not fukkin with 33 immortals because they story itself is so blasphemous that I'd rather just skip :yeshrug: But I'm still playing Indiana Jones,Just started Avowed, didn't get to a bunch of titles from last year. But to stay on topic, Black Ops 6 I'm prestige 10 about to max out. Used accumulated points to purchase the splinter TMNT bundle
Even my kids prefer the variety of Gamepass over the switch and they have everything they wanted on that system so... I get what you're saying but it doesn't resonate with anyone here outside of Sony Stans if you reading the tea leaves of this here thread :manny:
@winb83 you the homey, but on the wrong side of history with this.

The Court stands with @MeachTheMonster on this.

Cade closed
The Court :smugbiden:
Why are y'all so addicted to deflections?

There's no grandiose or unclear "context" here.

Was it pointless or nah?
COD is pointless to you? Then why was it the highest selling game on PLAYSTATION... and still is :banderas:
We got the crash trilogy and Crash 4 incoming (unless it landed already)
We got the Spyro trilogy, Crash Team racing. And they keep trickling out more titles because we don't need every title day one

The one thing Gamepass subscribers are not complaining about is having enough content. So :stopitslime:
AKA him and other Xbox “influencers” wanted this acquisition to be about shutting down Sony and becoming the number one platform holder.

It didn’t go that way and now they have nothing to shill.
Most of the top games sold on either platform was Microsoft titles. Which is what this is all about.
On the flip side, your platform of choice is in shambles in terms of current and future game development.
Had to cancel numerous projects and studios. You can't fix all that in less than a generation. So this gen been mid as fukk for you guys and you still acting like y'all eating good. Only thing y'all eating good is the cost. Xbox has clearly won this generation and is in position to thrive in the new wave of tech as I'll call it

At best Sony will have an app within the Xbox app :hhh:
