I want them out of the hardware business myself. Not software business. Become 3rd party because this hardware shyt ain't working for them. That ship has sailed. Kill the MS Storefront and go fully Steam, PS Store, Nintendo EShop, Apple Store, Google Play.

Why though?

How does them having hardware affect you, especially if like yall say, they're gonna be porting shyt anyways?

I genuinely don't get why anyone would hope for just a two market system with only one basically having a strangle on third parties and future development if Nintendo keeps the same.

Even crazier saying this when Sony themselves are saying their pipeline is unsustainable with the budget for their 1st party games.

Switch 2 won't be the end of Xbox but could really fukking hurt PlayStation.

Xbox was my favorite console over the ps2, even when the ps2 had more games it felt like the quality of xbox games was just on another level. And that continued into the ps3/360 generation, where it took sony like 3 years to catch up to the quality of games microsoft was putting out. Ps3 didn't take off until uncharted 2 drop, microsoft was obliterating them until that point.

I was a big fan of both tbh. Xbox providing a lot of experiences that the PS2 couldn't in terms of a lot things, but Sony had me for just the pure diverse lineup of games.

Something they still had til the PS3 and lost with the PS4 moving forward where's it basically just a better selling and well known Xbox at this point - the only diversity is through the Japanese games they get.

But I genuinely do not get acting like Xbox didn't heavily contribute and shape so much shyt with modern gaming for good and bad.

nikkas are begging for an alyx VR port to save the dying PSVR2 but acting like Xbox not having half-life 2 on consoles wasn't a big deal at the time when Sony tried hard as fukk with Half-Life 1 and the expansions.

Such silly clown shyt. Like I said before. That yearly wrap up with all the games people here have played showed A LOT

Iirc, @Rekkapryde's showed he only played like 9 games total in 2023 for 400 hours and 130+ were all Diablo 4, 44 on Madden and the rest being final fantasy and forspoken

Why the fukk is he the voice of anything? That's my nikka but still - some of the loudest people still ain't share shyt.

Ya'll letting cac ass @CoolinInTheCut run his mouth when his top games are all multiplatform free shyt. nikkas main games are apex, rocket league and fall guys but bro running around talking shyt constantly lmaoooo

why yall getting sensitive.

I'm not advocating for MS to get out of the gaming business. I said they need to go full 3rd party publisher and get out of the HARDWARE business. Xbox Series hardware is tracking worse than The Xbox One. 2 straight gens of major dropoffs from the 360 sales. It's getting WORSE.

And I've been 100 on the games I've played. Don't need to cap. Diablo 4 was my personal GOTY until Spidey 2. You diggin all in my playtime hours from last year when I posted them in the year end wrap up. It's no secret. To try and slide some shade over to me was some fukk shyt fam. Real sheisty. :ufdup:

this shyt is over and it's been over. my biggest beef is cats need to stop the refusal to call out how much of clown Phil has and has always been. Dude is trash. Cats defended this fukkass cracka for years. And some STILL refuse to call him out for what he is. Dude is a lying sack of shyt.

You can’t talk about gaming unless you make 500 thousand a year and play over 10 thousand hrs yearly.

It's sold about as well as Nintendo did, and the next generation they went toe to toe with sony to a stalemate.

Xbox was a very respected brand back then.
Series X has already sold more than OG xbox lifetime. and software/revenue/engagement is through the roof.

Yet according to some it’s a dead platform that doesn’t need to exist:smh:

Why your 2023 recap only say 9 games though?

My Xbox one says 194 games

:skip:

Because that's what I played :ld:

I'm an admitted Madden stan and I only got real time for single player joints after that with fam and work, so I select the games I play carefully and only pick shyt I know I'll like and play/complete.


This year so far

finished Spidey 2
Started FF7 Remake.
Playing BF2042 for my multiplayer fix.
Already deleted COD off my hard drive. I wasted money on that shyt.

So I'm at 4 games this year. Already tracking ahead. :pachaha:

Nah they fixed it. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE LAUNCHED LIKE.

Been on TDM for the last week and a half and just payed for the Season 6 Pass 2 nights ago. I bought the Ultimate Edition like a dumbass but at least DICE stuck to it and made it what it should have been at launch. VERY HAPPY with it for my multi fix. I just gotta get my weight up.

Glad I went back to it.

:blessed:

Downloading right now then! BFV and the WW1(?) are still up there for me. 2024 fukked me up with the specialist load outs and the way too big maps that still seemingly had a bunch of choke points.

Im still hurt over the lack of destructible environments. Random but you ever play hardline? I decided to check that out randomly and the story is on some bad boys shyt lol
