MS sacked everyone except the one that should get the boot.

MS got a lifeline at beginning of season when supply for PS5 was limited to be respectable.

All they need was consistance flow of good exclusive titles....
They cannot secured 3rd party exclusives, slow and not critically acclaimed 1st parties. Their games are going PS5 (the other direction is not happening), and dev are questioning is it worth to have their game on Xbox consoles.
Sales of xbox consoles have nosedive year of year..



Some think I am a PS fanboy which is funny since I do not own a PS5, or have intention to own one. The "evidence" is I am harsh to MS than Sony. Sony are not contantly shooting their own foot.
First off, I think Sony is bad company, worse than MS when it come to anti-competition and consumer, but they are producing the hits.

I hate monopoly (everyone should), and MS is not provide meaningful compeition. I don't want a future where we have one firm dominated the console market.

one thing I find hypocritical is when ever Xbox got third party exclusivity for a year or less the media and internet would go ham and cry foul, like with tomb raider. Or when square had a fan event for ff12 and announced the port for xbox and had a contest to win one and the game and everyone just booed…I was like “wtf, it’s a chance at winning something for free, if ya don’t like it just flip it and collect some cash”

I prefered not to have 3rd party exclusives. But its business. Fanboy will do what fanboy does.

The "champion" always attract the degen "glory hunters" not unlike Man city or Munich now as they are so successful.

PS is the "champion" now so the degen tend to be from this camp.
 

It's been building like this and probably will continue until something changes. I don't know if anyone knows. Probably won't for years to come and then we'll get a documentary about it, etc.
 

That's nice for Nintendo, but I don't know enough to say you can compare that with other companies. Plus, I don't play Nintendo. 🤷‍♂️

and what does "believing in your developers mean?".

Referring to when Iwata (President) took a 50% pay cut in order to not lay off workers. He believed in his teams and stated, “a fully staffed Nintendo would have a better chance to rebound.”
 
Nintendo is the standard. Nothing new here. In terms of USD at the current exchange rate that is 3,149,251,318.51 US Dollars.
 
Funny how big Switch is, how well their games review/received, and they’re pretty non existent at this forum. So these Sony fanboys here always kicking MS because they want better just let Nintendo pass them by. It’s all an act.

Yeah I always laugh at how dead the switch section is here. I'm pretty sure several members here have one and game on it.

Maybe it's due to the lack of negativity towards that brand and Nintendo?

I post in it when I have time to play it or am interested in something coming up. My problem is having the time to invest in it. I have a big backlog as well already on the Switch. I like the Switch, just wish I had more time to play it. It’s nice being able to play it in handheld when I’m relaxing or in bed before I go to sleep sometimes.

Still makes no sense when the usual suspects around here always acting like exclusives matter mist when it comes to MS/Sony, but let the Switch and it’s great exclusives pass them by.
 
Nobody here really plays the Switch like that so the few of us that do chime in every so often but don't expect a convo that goes 30 pages.
 
It's crazy how Tyler got to 1900 ELO in a span of learning how to play just 10 months ago.
