Having spent a fair amount of time with Series controller I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would prefer it over the Dual Sense. Even for shooters, my right hand which controls aiming sits at an angle that makes my index finger go from R2 to R1 rather uncomfortable.

I don’t get it at all. It also feels much less premium.
I play a fair bit on PC with xbox controllers and honestly I don't get it either.

Not sure about the premium feel, my favorite controller of all time is the PS4 controller.

they still using AA battery
Xbox fans still defend AA battery, all while at the same time praising the premium Xbox controllers that include internal battery instead. Not to mention that based on internal document MS planed upgrade for the controller midgen included haptics and internal battery.

This video shows how microsoft incomplete they are. Always chasing trends always putting the money about. It's like chelsea spend billions on players they're in middle in the league and they're still shit. Money doesn't always bring success.
I mean Chelsea spend billion on mediocre young players. This more like PSG honestly

We get all of these signs and dudes on reddit still swear that nothing is changing. My guess is that as long as MS don't outright abandon hardware next week they will declare victory and claim that no rumor was true.
They are not going to abandon it overnight. Due to the tight coupling between the hardware and an online multiplayer paywall, there will likely be a period of massive refunds, etc.

The idea is to also minimize losses even while abandoning the hardware.

They're going to say Sony and Nintendo will be pressured to make their games available everywhere, mark my words.

My hope is that they officially announce the death of Xbox during the Super Bowl while the 49rs are up 30+ to nothing.

The lack of self-awareness is staggering.
They were hoping PS would die because of the ABK buyout and for MS to become a monopoly and now they're crying.
He's in the bargaining phase, and I agree that it's extremely ironic coming from the fanbase that wants MS to buy so many publishers that PlayStation can no longer survive. Not to mention only one source has mentioned a price increase for Crunchyroll.

MS wouldn’t be having a “business event” next week if nothing was changing. What changes remains to be seen.
- Adorably all digital
- End of generations
- When everybody plays we all win
- Microsoft Game Pass

It's a lie.


All they do is lie.

Totally off-topic but I found the game Soundfall on PS+. It's very similar to Hi-fi Rush and I know you really enjoyed that.

Weird how people didn't mention it. It's almost like Hifi Rush copied it 🤔

Thanks @anonpuffs told me about this, I still have it on my wishlist. I’ll check it out eventually and yeah the beat UI looks like HiFi Rush copied it 😂 but it’s ok

True, would be weird to have a whole business event just to reiterate things we already knew like GAAS games and small stuff like As Dusk Falls getting ported.

The announcement :

"Xbox is bigger than ever." [Insert MAU here]

"We have never been so excited about the future of Xbox. We now have the most projects in development than ever [insert number of projects in development]"

"We reiterate our commitment to bringing more games, to more players, wherever they play. This is our passion here at Xbox."

"We stay commited to providing options for ways to play, thanks to our partners at [insert PC OEMs here]"

- Video reel of future Xbox branded OEM PCs with custom OS

"We are even expanding on ways to play, thanks to our partners at [insert handheld OEMs here]".

- Video reel of future Xbox branded handheld OEM with custom OS

"We at Xbox are about innovating and offering more games to more players. It is at the center of everything we do."

"Look forward to our games coming later this year [insert some 2024 games]"


The fanboys : "See, nothing to worry about"


The reality : a couple weeks later, HiFiRush releases for PS5, flight simulator releases day and date on PS5, hellblade 2 gets a PS5 port, Indiana Jones gets a PS5 port, starfield gets a PS5 port, halo gets a PS5 port, Gears of war gets a PS5 port, etc etc etc and eventually every single one of their games are day and date with PS5

I could see them being super ambiguous like that just to calm their fanboys, but who knows.

They also would have denied it by now, especially with that Phil tweet if there was nothing to this.

I don’t see all their games going day and date to PS5. At least not at first.
