I don’t understand why TVs keep getting cheaper and cheaper but consoles are getting marked up every 6 months?Then why are prices going up across gaming and entertainment? it’s not just MS/XB/GP.
Aren't PC parts going sky high too?I don’t understand why TVs keep getting cheaper and cheaper but consoles are getting marked up every 6 months?
Because things can't change....
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.Things didn't change though he was just flat out wrong
All while being smug about it
So his info was wrong. How does that change anything?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.

MS obviously had made the decision to port by time of that tweet.
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.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.
No doubt about that.everything he says should taken with a huge grain of salt

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.I don’t understand why TVs keep getting cheaper and cheaper but consoles are getting marked up every 6 months?
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.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.
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.
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 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.MS has been stepping on a rake for like 15 years at this point. Its time to stop blaming the internet or PS fanboys.

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.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.
Not true at all. Wild if you almost believed this.
Fanboys exist on the internet? Thanks for the breaking news.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.
You’re full of s***. You love posting NS/XB negativity no matter where it comes from, who, or if it is even true. F*** off fanboy troll.It sounds far-fetched but only reason I posted it was because it was SneakersSO , that guy posted too much in detail and so he was pretty accurate in the past.
