Things didn't change though he was just flat out wrong

All while being smug about it
So you are saying that nobody at MS told him that there were no plans to port the Xbox games to PS? And can you source that please? BTW, he mentioned in his podcast to clarify that "things change", and that was the info he had at the time.

So his info was wrong. How does that change anything?

MS obviously had made the decision to port by time of that tweet.

It doesn't change anything. The info he was supplied was what he knew at the time. It changed.

So when he has been correct about things, we just ignore that too?

Should we start a list of people that we can't use as trusted sources for this forum? I am game if you are. So far that list would have zero entries.

I think Jez is fine but everything he says should taken with a huge grain of salt. Both tweets are just him running cover for MS and there is likely no real journalism happening.
 
I don’t understand why TVs keep getting cheaper and cheaper but consoles are getting marked up every 6 months?

Aren't PC parts going sky high too?

That one's pretty easy. In the TV landscape, there are an abundance of manufacturers where competition is extremely fierce. They have a vested interest to improve their tech, supply chains, product efficiency and price regularly because if they don't their competition will. In both the console and PC spaces, there is VERY limited competition, especially in the high end market. If you don't like their prices/behavior, there really isn't anywhere else for you to go.

Yeah in the last year or so I’ve noticed TV’s that were once $1,000+ in retail stores you can get them now for around $500 to $800 depending on the brand. Hell you can get decent TV’s now for under $500.

PS pricing and Xbox pricing (and Switch 1!) have gone up due to tariffs and the desire to remain profitable.

Tariffs have a trickle down effect in so many ways. Just because you have a product that isn't produced in a tariffed county doesn't mean that the chain of building that product isn't impacted by tariffs from other countries.

I work for Hilton Corporation. We buy the majority (over 50%) of our guest supply products and property management systems from non-tariff countries. But the prices have gone up due to tariffs of what we are buying because of the chain these products go through.
I am an engineer. Physical product can be affect but digital product. I also do not think services are affected, like outsourcing (but I migh be wrong on the latter)? I am talking about their local MS store charging extra for Game pass. The effect of tariff if any is minor.

Also don't forget they release new iterations of the same models almost every year so that pushes the previous year's model down quicker as well. Think G5 this year replaced G4 last year of LG's Oleds.

Yeah with PC you're either going Nvidia or amd, and Intel or AMD. There are more options for mobos, ram, ssds, fans, cases etc but cpu and gpu nope.

Wild if true. That gaming dad persona he tried so hard to be relatable to consumers if it turns out to be all a marketing strategy...

MS has been stepping on a rake for like 15 years at this point. Its time to stop blaming the internet or PS fanboys.
MS hasn't done itself any favors, but if you don't believe PS fanboys have been s***ting all over the brand for the past 25 years and spreading fake news, you have been living in a cave.

Even you wouldn't be so naive to believe otherwise.
 

The sad thing is that you had to actually post that because only 1 person out of the 40 of us still on this board would actually believe it. Not to mention, MBG just deleted some of his tweets where he was posting false information about Xbox.

Another added to the block list on Twitter.

The MS/XB/GP trolling across the internet has hit epic levels. It’s sad really.

Hope all these people get their wish and PS/Nintendo take over gaming it goes downhill for the worst.

I was born in 83 I’ve been gaming a very long time I’ve owned consoles from all makers and PC. Ever since MS got into the gaming business with XB I’ve noticed for decades a big number of gamers have been against them.

@yankeessuck quit acting like there isn’t a far bigger number of Sony/Nintendo fanboys that want to see them fail and will do everything they can across the internet and social media to see it happen.

Fanboys exist on the internet? Thanks for the breaking news.

You guys always use PS fanboys to deflect from MS PR disasters. I know because there are so many of them
