I guess we're operating under the assumption that the XBOXOX will be a hilarious failure like its predecessor?

edit: but then, I'm looking at it from a Japan perspective, was it more successful in other places?

It sold 'okay' in the US and the rich parts of Europe but that's it and nowhere near the 360. Or PS4.

So with the Xbone X being $499. There may not be a price cut on the Pro. But still be vigilant until the Sony presser tomorrow because i could be very well wrong.

Is the xbox not going to launch with some weird expensive gimmick (or obvious feature missing) this time? If so, maybe they learned something after all.

How do you figure? It's been a big part of their E3's for several years now. The one major difference is they also have some first party games.

But then it's counterbalanced by "this poo poo isn't coming out for years now".

Wait, so was Microsoft's end goal for the abreviation for the X Box One X to be XBOX?

The best reason to own a PS4 is to have a place for all the indie games you don't want taking up room in your Steam library.

If you can't kill it, don't. Prey's about knowing what risks are worth taking. Eventually everything is beatable, but don't let your first instinct be "kill" when you see an enemy. It rewards patience and deliberate thinking, which sometimes means avoiding contact.

Even if you can kill something, it's not always worth the resources. Especially since you have to keep in mind being caught off guard, and the resources that'll inevitably expend.

I actually think this vulnerable phase of the game is too short.

It doesn't matter in the end what language they use. Major titles are dependent on front loaded sales. They're both about getting the attention first, and thus the bulk of the sales.

Edit: poo poo, that's what they're doing with the initials. A recursive acronym.

Looks like it. They would have been better served to just call it the xBox at this point, it's been long enough that there wouldn't be much confusion.

Ha ha ha ha what the gently caress

This is why Sony wasn't mentioned at all in the talk about crossplay for Minecraft

I'm sorry but this is powerfully short sighted and crossplay basically costs Sony nothing

The crossplay makes you sign into an Xbox account if it works like it used to so I guess I can understand, but just fuckin do it Sony.

don't over-dramatize this. This isn't console destroying by any metric but it's still a lovely decision. You can criticize something without condemning them altogether.

Minecraft is one of the biggest games in the world and they're refusing parity on something that costs them very little for very stupid reasons

They're the leader in the home console market and there are probably quite a few people on their platform who'd like to be able to play with their friends

Also, whatever your opinions of Microsoft are, this is a wholly separate issue and trying to push it onto talk about the conference as a whole is nothing more than deflection

Good points disagree about all tho. Brought up conference as it is the topic being discussed.

I dont think sony will lose anything over minecraft

The game you buy on every system is not the game you buy a system for.
