I bet I can literally type nothing here, and he will take this as a personal and brand insult too.

Whoa. Look at what I was going for. It’s a visual crash gag on the state of things, lol, which has been pretty rough. I don’t have individuals in mind or know anyone’s allegiances that well or give a shit.

At least one person is crawling out the escape capsule.

Well, Xbox One did around like 40 to 60 million consoles, right? That’s a lot of people who wanted a high tech, stationary console, so going to Nintendo isn’t likely. Theoretically, if the Xbox brand is indeed going to break down like that, that’s likely all Sony’s base now.

I think this question was valid before the third party rumors, if you owned both. It is shocking to the extent that Xbox does almost absolutely nothing to justify itself as a unique purchase. It offers nothing more than the PS5 hardware-wise, and lacks a similar controller. Exclusives either...

Fixed for the RE5 reference.

I kind of like the multi headset approach. It’s a kind of with our powers combined approach to userbase, which could be very beneficial to getting more ambitious VR exclusives greenlit.

This looked great. Securing games like this is so essential, whether it’s Polyphony finding a way to get existing GT7 running in VR, or a genuine exclusive like this. VR and real games are a game changer that convinces people, and the more of them, the better an investment the platform will be...

This looked awesome. I like Death Stranding, and I love Kojima, and I got what looks like both on top form. Really interested for the new dynamic approach to the world, with sudden weather and floods, and even breaking everyone’s builds, as well as unraveling all the insane mysteries. Why is...

I guess I can kind of appreciate it from that perspective. Starting a journey that will culminate in more and more usable and normally priced products. Certainly it won’t be weird to be moving apps around with your eyes and fingers when it’s just a regular pair of glasses. It’ll actually be...

The biggest mistake Microsoft ever made was switching power over the Xbox division from those at the company that were passionate about gaming, to the typical Microsoft employees. You can literally see the exact moment of the changeover. Xbox and most of 360, full of great ideas and games...

The Verge had a fantastic review on this. The good and the bad, and some interesting thoughts about this whole segment. My thoughts are that Apple seemed to focus very heavily on the idea of an iPad on your face, with apps floating freely around you as you walk around the real world. That seems...

I’m not some financial expert or professional. All I can offer is that Ubisoft seems lost between annualized franchises and desperate attempts to chase the success of others, all at bigger and bigger budgets, making failures a dangerous prospect. My suggestion is that Ubisoft get back to...

Everything I see about this business screams future third party publishing and services company, not unlike what Microsoft has historically been in the PC and phone sectors. They’ve never made their own stuff, not for long, and I think this 20 year exception, with one console successful by...

Unfortunately, unless preparations are made, this seems likely.
