Karma is Real: Xbox Fanboys accumulated too much bad karma over the past 10 years (A Hideo Kojimbo Thread)

[Entropi]

This situation deserves an accounting of the Mt. Everest-sized pile of bullshit that came out of Xbox executives, MVPs, brand ambassadors, and dipshit fanboy zealots this generation. It is hard to overstate how much lies, FUD, and presumptive nonsense was spouted, and how almost all of these core beliefs and assumptions have proven false or otherwise aged like milk. Below is just off the top of my head; there's undoubtedly more others will think of.

Coordinated Discord FUD campaign and pre-release astroturfing:

• PS5 is 9.2TF
• PS5 is overheating
• PS5 manufacturing problems
• PS5 variable clock frequency problems
• 12TF matters/will create a definitive and obvious power gap
• Full RDNA2 will make a big difference - SFS, tier 2 hardware VRS, etc.
• Series S will sell like hotcakes and take back NA
• Series S will not hold games back or complicate development - everything just scales!
• Halo Infinite will return the series to glory and sell > 20 million

Post-release bullshit:

• Gamepass is successful and sustainable, and it is inevitable Sony will follow out of necessity
• Gamepass doesn't adversely affect game sales
• Gamepass in fact increases game sales
• Hardware sales don't matter
• Bethesda will change everything
• Starfield will move units
• ABK will change everything
• (In spite of NPD and EU sales numbers) the big 3 are all doing great doing their own thing
• Xbox is perfectly happy selling 40-50 million
• They're not porting exclusives
• Hardware isn't going anywhere
• They're not going 3rd party

I wish Microsoft would exit the console market soon, so that good-faith discussions around new consoles can take place without all the controlled PR firm nonsense..

I love that list, so many Ls and misses from the Xbox crowd.

You'd think that just by chance they would get something right but no, they got nothing.

Nice list. We'll have to keep that for another thread and add to it.

What's scary is that it's not even 1/3 of all the BS we had to deal with this gen. They are so relentless, every week there's more.

It's not just the xbots online. Phil, Brad Smith, Booty, Nadella, Kotick, Lulu and more said tons of shit about Sony during the Activision case. It's beyond console wars, they are rotten to the core.
