Pentiment director, right?

Yes. He's the Pentiment director, and the game was ported to PS4 and PS5. So makes sense to have PS4 & PS5 devkits there.

On the table, from left to right these are PS5 devkit, Xbox Series devkit, PS4 devkit. Under the PS4 devkit there's another Xbox Series devkit.

And then, in the right border of the photo you can see in color blue you see where the plans for the next gen Xbox went.

Anyone take a screen shot for those of us who didn't see before it was taken down?

Too bad the picture was removed.

Pretty likely the ninjas reminded him about certain NDAs related to the devkits.

As an example, just based on conversations I've had with folks at a couple major third party publishers, some games that I know about that came out over the last couple years, have sold exponentially less on Xbox than other platforms. Not just due to a smaller install base, I'm talking 3, 4, 5x less than PS5. It was kind of eye opening, but it shows you if big third parties are experiencing that, I can only imagine how much less of an audience a studio reaches if they just stick to Xbox/PC.

Personally, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that Microsoft hasn't tried everything they could, or at least hasn't been trying. This is purely my look at things and not to be taken in any console war lens. We've heard from multiple leaders in the industry before, including Phil if I...

Sick humor made a great point how the IGN buyout predominantly affects the UK market and that MS has been trying to control the narrative for awhile now. I guarantee Gameindustry biz has been a sore spot for MS for awhile because they don’t always tow the line.

And I bet you at least 60% of those are Japanese 3P publishers like Square-Enix, Capcom, SEGA/Atlus, Koei-Tecmo, Bandai-Namco etc.

You know, the same ones that for some reason people keep saying need to bring all their games to Xbox because Xbox will save them? Like they're doing now with Final Fantasy? Because FF XIV on Xbox really helped Square-Enix with their live-services game reve--

Oh, it didn't help at all? Okay....

All the more reason that M&A needs to be investigated and broken up/undone. Too many potential conflicts of interest involved, clearly.
