They have a habit of riling up the Xbots...even if it's for nothing.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
If Xbox represents the "American Zeitgeist," as an American, I want no part of it.
EA, Activision, 2K and hundred more devs are in USA.
You don't need the actual console to be american like you don't need the TV to be american.

To who’s benefit is it that all console hardware come from Japanese companies?
To whose benefit is it that all pc OS come from American companies
& Mobile OS Android (Google) IOS (Apple)
All these Xbots saying MS will get Activision because they deserve it remind me of the England team at the world cup every year since 1966.
Nintendo made a console and sold it to the Americans when the gaming industry was so dead there, nobody had faith in video games anymore. That was challenging as hell and Nintendo nailed it, SEGA countered Nintendo despite the fact that Nintendo had a total monopoly on the gaming market at that time. So nothing is impossible, and it is quite silly to say these corporations (no need to be on Google level) don’t have the resources needed to enter the market. What these corporations lack are the passion and commitment, they want to ripe the result quick. Also, I never like the big tech like Amazon or Google to enter this market, they will just make another bullshit subscription services or cloud-based gaming.
Pretty sure he's phrased his post wrong.
Yeah all this tweet is someone trying to stir the pot.
Not surprising, they still think the Xb1 and the ps4 should have had their roles reversed and that the xb1 deserved to be a runaway success.
FIFA world cup is highly competitive with so many teams. Cricket is much easier
IDK, that's like asking to whose benefit is it that the majority of the internet is run by American tech giants. We're talking about video game consoles here, not nuclear codes. MS' attempt and people's willingness to go along with this West vs East narrative when it comes to entertainment brands might be the silliest thing to come out of all this.
What is your ultimate rationale in caring about the country that the brand that makes your video games comes from, when MS makes the Xbox's in the same Chinese factories as Sony and Nintendo.
Why does it matter for video games where the hardware came from? Is it the same for cars, microwaves, GPUs or TVs? What phone do you use?
I've never thought about where the console came from while playing a game. Ever.
Video games are not a special category. We don't need a console for each nation.
People that don't want a Microsoft console (as in the vast majority of people).
Despite spending billions and billions buying IPs, studios, publishers, pushing cheap consoles and cheap discounted services less than 1 out of every 5 consoles sold are an Xbox these days. The public has completely rejected Xbox vision for games.
The US is the biggest video game market and it rejected the Xbox multiple times as well. This has nothing to do with USA vs Japan.
Japan and the West have a storied history in their design distinctions. Look into it.
What is with this talking down to other posters?
I thought only I was allowed to do that.
Edit: Was just goofing around.
