Inconvenient truth: Xbox is saving gaming right now Do you agree?

The man, the myth, the legend, the gamer:

No I don't think they're saving gaming. Gaming will exist no matter what, even with a full blown AAA industry collapse.

But I do think they consistently have been more interesting this gen in a number of areas, and I've pointed this out for 3 years now. 1) Helping to keep the E3 season culture alive with great showcases multiple times a year, but always every June. 2) Helping give consumers cheaper ways to play games while everything else is getting more expensive (GP, Series S), 3) Helping fund more experimental and bizarre niche content while the rest of the industry is going more mainstream, 4) Helping lead the way in BC efforts for consumers and dual entitlement on PC, 5) now potentially helping to lead the way on exposing more people to open store ecosystems. That's not saving gaming, but it's a whole lot of stuff I've been into for years.

Just think about it, an industry where products and services can be created without Microsoft trying to kill or buy the companies making them. What would we do without Microsoft?
 
This geeza pops up now and then giving it the old "theres levels to this" with them fucking Turtle Beach earbuds and mic. Nice vest though.
 
Dude smoked some meth and said "time to film."

Is he right about PlayStation fanboys? Mostly. Xbox fanboys are in full cope mode though.

Sorry, I'm just having a really hard time paying attention to anything other than why the dryer is just being left open.
Well, the dryer has more intelligence!

Kind of agree and think Xbox event will be awesome!

Xbox events are always great because Xbox still does it the old way where they show you stuff that might not even be in development yet. Unfortunately no matter how great their events are they still can't seem to deliver a steady cadence of quality games and that's really all that matters.
 
About half way through the video I do agree with one of his more hot take points - there is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that he is right about this phenomenon we're seeing regarding PS fans "garnering victory off of the corporates victory." I mean, this is getting into hardcore console war territory but I genuinely do agree with him here.

I think a lot of PS fans are actually deeply unhappy and unsatisfied, and they fill that void with threads hyping up sales numbers and profits instead of gamer / consumer-centric things they genuinely love. Just something I've thought for years now privately, but never really wanted to bring up. It's a big generalization so yeah, but I've noticed this big shift and I think it's due to the PS management culture change. The "fun" of being part of the PS community was entirely removed with shows, communication, the types of games they put out. It's all very serious now, and filled with a money first type of conversation.

Don't get me wrong, money and sales matter. I just see it showcased now to a really lopsided degree compared to previous generations.
