What does everyone thing of folks like Jez and Tom Warren walking back their claims of how severe the shift will be?
Maybe they got new info.
Maybe the original info was one one but since they are inflamatory fucks they tried to cash in click by clickbaiting everyone.
Either way they are unreliable.

New Copium incoming.

Personally, i think the text was from PlayStation Headquarters saying, Dont worry, we won't be taking all your exclusives; we believe in quality control here at PlayStation

He text.. or she text.

I'd believe Phil Spencer messaged you over a real life woman Colt.

PS wouldn’t be stupid.


I honestly just ignore his account more or less. One of those concern-trolling accounts that goes "Sony Too™" with any bad Xbox news (and the strategy shift rumored for Xbox isn't even bad news...for Microsoft Gaming. Maybe for the diehard fanboys of the brand who love to console war, but they're just a small, loud minority).

It gets tiring seeing people like them basically center all their PlayStation discussion on whatever Xbox is doing, good or bad. Almost sure some of them only got into the PlayStation ecosystem last gen, too, which would explain the behavior.

Honestly, the only reason I want the multiplatform rumors to be true is so that acquisitions become less of a threat and so that their loudest fanboys will finally leave the rest of us alone.

There's an element of that... And the discourse around it. Those Xbox fans that blame PlayStation for all their problems and use acquisitions as a stick to poke playstation fans.

Like taking games away from people actually gives them joy.

There's nothing stopping them from still pulling games away from playstation if they choose too it'll be less likely but it's still a possibility they could use this as an attempt to make an upward swing for more funding to try and get in devs favors that have been leaving them behind. If anything Bethesda and Activision are the only multiplat games that should be everywhere. Nobody want Halo when you have CoD and Battlefield etc etc.

I suppose it's possible, but I'm not going to be that pessimistic, lol.

What crazy is....I have never heard of Xbox being accused of arrogance after their controversial transition from the X360 generation to the Xbone generation. They sweep it under the rug saying it was Don Mattricks fault and this is new leadership, as if the leadership is still the same form the PS3 era. However, Sony still carries the stigma of arrogance even after they corrected their mistake. It's crazy how fear-mongering is prevalent, especially considering that Nintendo has also had faults, but they are not accused of arrogance like Sony.
The thing is that we don't care enough to keep calling MS\xbox names like that. They keep going back to that kind of "argument" all the time, so the name calling becomes entrenched.

Xbox is just bad at what they are doing, no need to delve further into it, or call them names... It's right there.

Colt Eastwood claims he got a text from an insider claiming that next week will be an amazing time for Xbox and will destroy all of the naysayers.

The gaming community would be a much better place without grifters and shills like colteastwood and jez.

It feels like Xbox are always explaining themselves and having to make excuses and promises in a way that PlayStation and Nintendo haven't had to.
Just like redfall was an amazing game & he was playing it on an Xbox console & not a monster pc 🤣
