Didn't Sony just have to revise their future earnings down? The whole industry is down apparently.

Down from last year because they have now peaked and sales are only going to do down from here. just like they do every gen.

But Switch 2 will give the industry a boost. The industry is down because switch was in its last year and still selling more than xbox which was in the third year. One company is responsible for the lack of growth and thats microsoft. They are blaming thier fuckups on everyone else.

 

[Mortisfacio]

You can one revision history for only a week to 3 days ago? Y'all are retard clowns.

You can one revision history? Are you drunk?

 

[kruis]

Tapping out after 10 mins. I can’t stand these corporate buzzword dispensers saying nothing in the most verbose way possible.

Yep. I lost interest by that time too. They'll not say anything specific, it's just 22 minutes of nothing. What a waste of my time.

 

[spons]

Nothingburger. I'm glad they're not pulling the plug though.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

[DeepEnigma]

You mentioned that Starfield and Indiana Jones aren’t part of the four despite rumors, but will those ever come to PS5? Can you rule that out?
I don’t think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform. We’re focused on these four games and learning from the experience.

 

[dem]

Apparently everyone will just read into this what they want to...


My end... This was just boring as fuck.

 

[cormack12]

They realised someone actually out Avowed on the screen there and cut to stock footage of France for some reason

 

[DenchDeckard]

Mega!

All I wanted to hear is the reinforcement of my account being safe!

theyve fucking nailed it. Happy with this.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Can't wait for the show at June.

 

[clarky]

Lol so instead of giving clear boundaries to kill further rumors, he gives out riddles for fans and anti-fans to speculate on for months more lmfao.

It isnt.

The hype around all this is just setting everyone up for disappointment. Going full third party, hardware announcements, showcase etc etc.

This will just be some vague bullshit double speak as usual that will leave more questions than answers, and the internet will implode on itself even further

Quoting myself from the first page.

 

[midnightAI]

Heisenberg007

Guess you were right, he did specifically say that other games are not coming and specifically name dropped Starfield and Indiana Jones as games that are not coming

Did he really say that? or did he say that those two games are not part of these four titles? (lets be honest, this is the start of other titles being multi platform, he even said as much when mentioning the future)

Edit: grrr, Heisenberg007 beat me to it

 

[GHG]

You guys eating up the PR bullshit like expected

Let them keep going.

Their posts never end well, just sit back and wait.

 

[dragonyeuw]

That was.......alot of nothing.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Man, reactions here are hilarious. People are actually disappointed Xbox is not going out of the console race just now.

I told people it wasn't happening, the total 3rd party crowd can pack it in now

 

[hinch7]

So much beating around the bush. This could've been addressed with a single Tweet/X. A 20 minute corpo talk explaing why they are still relevant doesn't instill confidence to your customers, sorry.

 

[Jigsaah]

I don't know about Phil or Booty...but Sarah Bond...I'll believe almost anything she tells me. Just sayin...

 

[aliadiere25]

Seriously, it's the same bullshit they always preach.... amazing hardware with amazing specs, Game Pass being a great value. You can have all the amazing hardware in the world, but if you have no good games to put on that thing, nobody is buying your hardware. I honestly believe them making another expensive console is a big mistake. The PS5 Pro, the Nintendo Switch 2, and the PS6 are coming out within the next 3 to 4 years, so they'll even be further behind.

They could have simply just done this on their official website with a blog or on Twitter. Why wait for a small announcement? I guess they're trying to not piss off their hardcore fans yet. But, they'll eventually announce more games for the PS5 and whatnot.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen come out of the gaming industry.

These three idiots are babbling about nothing, and seem to be oblivious to the reality of their own failing system. Do they really think this is how they compete with Sony, Nintendo, and Valve? By releasing smug, bizarre Youtube videos full of corporate word salad?

This is shit that Microsoft shareholders might be interested in, assuming they aren't laughing/crying too hard. For their customer base? Worthless. Beyond worthless.

Phil Spencer and Matt Booty should both be fired, just for this colossal own goal. What a fucking debacle.

A “business update” at the very least should be a presentation with a clear vision for the future

Not tip toeing around with nebulous buzzwords while pandering to their most fringe hardcore audience which is a big part of why they have failed for so long

 

[thatJohann]

Like I said, a whole bunch of nothing.

 

[adamsapple]

You guys eating up the PR bullshit like expected

Don't worry, maybe those image templates will come true one day Ass, one day.

 

[buenoblue]

Well, Phil didnt hear shit as usual

 

[Snake29]

Most embarrassing shit i’ve ever seen. They are not looking good trying to convince and almost crying so that people stay lol.

Hey could’ve just tweet this nonsense on X.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

You guys eating up the PR bullshit like expected

 

[nani17]

"Of the four games coming starfield in Indiana Jones isn't one of them“
that doesn't mean those games aren't eventually coming to other platforms

 

[Deerock71]

For PS fans...that was a shart.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

 

 

 

[Audiophile]

Nadella should fire Phil's wardrobe first.

 

[RoadHazard]

So it's Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and...? Some other "community driven" game. Halo? Grounded?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Can't wait for the show at June.

This is the new halo ugly face or whatever that stupid meme was

 

[Mowcno]

Phil did not look happy lol.

So 4 games greenlit for other consoles more will no doubt follow in 2025 and beyond.

None of them confirmed by Xbox but 2 smaller sp titles and 2 service titles so:

-Hifi Rush
-Pentiment
-Sea of Thieves
-Halo/Forza?

 

[Heisenberg007]

Phil also gave an interview to The Verge, which just went live.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

This was the most non-business update update I've ever witnessed lmao.

 

[Wulfer]

The 4 games, I believe are

Sea of Thieves
Grounded
RedFall
Pentiment
Any future games to be considered will be online GAAS.

Replaced Grounded with Crackdown 3!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Back to Last of Us Part 2 remastered and Helldivers 2. What a waste of time

 

[XXL]

Like I said, a whole bunch of nothing.

4 games going to other platforms isn't nothing.

 

[FewRope]

Two weeks for this shit. Xbox psychos already made peace with games being multiplatform, now Microsoft just have to release it all slowly

I'm sorry Phil Spencer I was not familiar with your game

 

[Portugeezer]

Hardware announcements this holiday? The digital series X I guess...

 

[Bond007]

Sarah Bonds closing speech made me legit laugh out loud

 

[adamsapple]

I told people it wasn't happening, the total 3rd party crowd can pack it in now

On the flip side, playstation fans can now borrow the "maybe next year" tagline from xbox fans

 

[clarky]

Phil did not look happy lol.

So 4 games greenlit for other consoles more will no doubt follow in 2025 and beyond.

None of them confirmed by Xbox but 2 smaller sp titles and 2 service titles so:

-Hifi Rush
-Pentiment
-Sea of Thieves
-Halo/Forza?

No way is it Forza, they can't get that running decent on 2 platforms, never mind a 3rd.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Sony]

Did they really think this would appease the Xbox fan base?

I don't think they thought they needed to. It's completely the fault of the "fan base" for playing themselves. The baseless rumors were running wild, it's pretty much mob behavior. And game journalists / "insiders" have to be ashamed as well.

What's next, spread some more bullshit rumors and force Microsoft into doing another podcast to address things they didn't think needed addressing to begin with?

It's another example of pathetic industry behavior combined with holding Microsoft to a level of scrutiny that no other platform holder is held to.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Don't worry, maybe those image templates will come true one day Ass, one day.

I didn't even make them. Pulled them from the future

 

[Shakka43]

A simple tweet last week would had suffice.

 

[Dick Jones]

They had 2 weeks, pre-recorded this and thought mission accomplished. Fucking hell

 

[bosnianpie]

They had to prepare a week for this shit? To tell everyone they're releasing four old shitty games on other consoles?

Xbox is such a obnoxious brand that it can't even die properly.

 

[Mowcno]

Phil also gave an interview to The Verge, which just went live.

Case by case! Nothing is safe!

 

[FlyyGOD]

Fanboys still think they're getting gears, Indiana Jones and Halo.
