He always classy troll... love him.

I think there is a difference between how you troll and that makes all the difference.

Cory is a developer, Phil is Xbox management.

It's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, silly though it may be.

They're all a lot more buddy buddy these days regardless though. No cut throat elements like "no, this game is ONLY possible with the power of the Cell".

Microsoft is still very much in the console war bullshit. They just adopt the fake “good guy” act and attack Sony in a passive aggressive way. They know they can’t attack Sony head on like they used to do in the PS3 gen because Sony completely smokes them nowadays in console sales and critical acclaim for their games.

Phil and Aaron Greenberg let the fanboys and “Ambassadors” on Twitter/YouTube do the dirty work for them while Phil pretends to be a good guy. They follow all the worst Xbox console warriors on Twitter too which is funny. Sony couldn’t give two shits about Microsoft ever since they bounced back with the PS4, and it’s like Phil and MS management know this and that’s why they had to adapt the “good guy Phil” fake approach to win brownie points.

“We encouraged the console wars, not to create division, but to challenge each other,” Moore says. “And when I say each other I mean Microsoft and Sony. If Microsoft hadn’t of stuck the course after the Xbox, after the Red Rings of Death, gaming would be a poorer place for it, you wouldn’t have the competition you have today.”


Not sure about the RROD comment… he seems to think if it was not that issue Somy had no chance in PS3 gen that is false but he console wars is something you see even today in Xbox management where Uncle Phil spread it all time.
President Putin (when later trialled for war crimes) 'we encouraged war, but not to have people killing each other, just to challenge them' (apologies if slightly political, but you see my point!)

When you suck you want to avoid direct comparisons to the competition, that's why Phil Spencer is all anti-console wars on the surface but as soon as he thinks he is on a dominant position he starts to take digs at PlayStation.

Also even when Phil is on his PR tour saying this stuff he doesn't actually cut ties to people that are engaged on it, including people that work for him/are paid by him.

They invite their most prominent console warriors to official watch parties and mixers, for crying out loud.

Off topic but @adamsapple, say hello to the mods on the other website for me. I loved being banned for something I have not done.
Anyway my Netflix documentary "Making of a Ban" was approved :D
On the flip side we are glad you are here. I always thought you were a good poster.
