"Hats off to Sony, their studio system, and the leaders that they've got there, it's fantastic--you can't argue with the quality and the craft and the games that they delivered and that they're working on now. Kudos and hats off to them," he said. "I think there is a certain kind of game that generates an anticipation; it becomes this tentpole moment. It's a game that fits that intersection of everybody can play and it's a big world you can inhabit. I think those kind of games are important. And certainly, it's been a place where we have not been out in front. We haven't really had the sort of 1:1 with Sony."

flight sim tho :mjlol:

You don’t fukking say :skip:

Xbox is run by a bunch of fukking clowns for real. The only reason they’re still in the game is because of daddy Microsoft’s money. They would’ve done a sega by now if they didn’t have that sort of money.

Both can be true though :gucci:

Amazon and Google are the main ones tryna buy studios and do cloud, hence that's Xbox main competition in studio accquistions and streaming.

Sony has the "AAA bangers", the purchase of Bethesda kills two(if not 3) birds w/ one stone. They block another publisher from Amazon, more content for cloud, and they have a team to make tentpole games(Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield).

If they truly felt that way they wouldn’t keep Sony’s name in their mouths. They hardly mention amazon or google, they talk about Sony.

Whether you believe it or don’t microsoft has to get past sony before they can think of doing anything else.

We just saw how gamepass subscriptions have slowed down and their consoles are still far in last place.

It took sony two entire console generations to build a consistent 1st party studio line up and strong 3rd party partnerships. The fact that xbots keep trying to compete and compare themselves to sony because they bought a few studios and announced a bunch of games is the real joke.

Yall got a long way to go before you can eat at the quality exclusives table with sony and nintendo. As of now, Microsoft needs to dig themselves out of teh hole from last gen, then maybe next gen they can talk about making games like sony
