Post in thread 'Microsoft: We are actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox.'

Monday at 3:59 AM

Is the development of the chips done?

Pretty much, it was supposed to tape-out in Q4.

Why would they sign contracts way advance on how many chips they want if they're not ready yet?

Because AMD needs the commitment to justify their R&D

I mean they were developing their own handheld as well and it's on hold no? So why wouldn't it be the same for the console?

AFAIK the handheld was cancelled because AMD wanted a commitment of 10m+ units to justify making a dedicated SoC, but with Steam Deck only selling ~5 million units and ASUS ROG/Lenovo Legion only selling 1-2...

Jez Corden disputes.....

 

[ecosse_011172]

So it's pretty much guaranteed to be true then, just needs Pachter to agree then it's 100%

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, Jez is a totally trustworthy source… sure_jan.jpg.

 

[IDKFA]

Jez, the same guy who Microsoft were not porting their games to PS5.

If he's saying it isn't true then it 100% is true.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

So there is a chance it's true then, Fuck that inflated Hacksaw Jim Duggan looking twat

 

[GHG]

Don't dare question the industry titan.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Of course they'd deny it, it's embarrassing

They're all heading for a mental breakdown aren't they

[TheMule1983]

This poor guy is going to have a heart attack soon.

 

[Baemono]

Jez single-handedly trying to defend Xbox since yesterday

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Can we just have one dedicated thread dedicated to laughing at Jez?

 

[Topher]

Jez Corden disputes.....

That's literally the same energy. Love it when these guys say something isn't true, but offer no counter reason what the real reason is.

Jez Corden |OT| Hopium for Fanboys

 

[memoryman3]

Are we forgetting that Jez was the first one to break the news of this cancellation?

Well, pretty it's true MS didn't cancel. But because never planned to make any handheld inhouse and their plan always has been to leave it to the OEMs as they did with the Rog Ally.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I guess I can't just send AMD an email requesting to buy a few dozen chips at a time.

 

[jm89]

If people haven't realised, jez is a corporate mouthpiece and gets told what MS wants people to hear.

Stuff keplar will know will never be passed down to jez from MS.

Jez Corden |OT| Hopium for Fanboys

I think it's closer to copium than hopium.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

How long until M m14 comes in and tells us that because jizz tells us it's true that we can stop discussing it?

 

[Skifi28]

I'm sure he knows best.

 

[Topher]

Are we forgetting that Jez was the first one to break the news of this cancellation?

Then why isn't he telling us the real reason?

 

[Astray]

I think it's closer to copium than hopium.

It's a reference to his infamous tweet lol.

 

[Ellis]

How long until Little Chicken's alt comes in and tells us that becuse jizz tells us it's true that we can stop discussing it?

Fixed. Maybe.

I always struggle to retain titanic information

 

[Unknown?]

Us PS boyz are eating at a buffet lately, eh Ass of Can Whooping ?

Riky !!!! Where are you and your alt R Rickeh ?

 

[Tobimacoss]

Then why isn't he telling us the real reason?

There likely are multitude of reasons why the handheld was cancelled. It likely wasn't needed and MS does not want to mandate handheld support for developers.

IF Lisa Su is correct and ALL 5 RDNA5 dies have Xbox Console library BC, that means FC is implied. Basically by creating the handheld Verified program, MS can track which games can run on the hardware.

So all indies and most of AA would simply run without developer intervention. And for AAA games, either devs can add support OR the games would work naturally as the more powerful hardware iterations are released.

I really think MS will be releasing two SKUs of main consoles so they don't want to add a third SKU for devs to support. That's why a windows handheld with BC and FC is more scalable.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Now, we can also easily and safely disregard his other "debunkings" in the other thread.

 

[schaft0620]

Not sure why Microsoft would partner with ASUS and the release their own handheld. Hard to believe Jez at this point.

 

[evanft]

Jez Corden sucks.

 

[R3TRO]

Who to believe.

 

[Topher]

There likely are multitude of reasons why the handheld was cancelled.

Theories are fine, but if Jez knows, and I'm not convinced he does, then he can give folks some idea of what the real reason is.

 

[TheRedRiders]

K KeplerL2 coming onto Gaf and seeing this :

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Once again, Jez Snow knows nothing.

 

[Baemono]

That's literally the same energy. Love it when these guys say something isn't true, but offer no counter reason what the real reason is.

Well he self-established his reliability on his own website so why would he explain himself ?

 

[Klayzer]

Lol. They can't touch you dude. Your comebacks are fucking hilarious.

 

[Topher]

Well he self-established his reliability on his own website so why would he explain himself ?

Titans never need to explain themselves

 

[MayauMiao]

This should be the first reply to every Jez Corden tweet.

 

[Jaybe]

Jez is Aaron Greenberg's puppet and he's got his whole hand right up there

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Jez Corden disputes.....

nevermind. i'm dumb

 

[Topher]

It's funny that people always post this one when this is his best tweet ever:



I remember a lot of people waiting for online play to be free on xbox back then because of this lmao

That's Grubb bro. Not Jez

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

That's Grubb bro. Not Jez

No less of a titan though

 

[Gilgalaad]

Who you gonna call?

 

[Topher]

No less of a titan though

Those two titans are on separate sides of the planet for a damn good reason

 

[Bry0]

Jez is way out of his lane and full of it. This is definitely a big consideration for MS.

It's also why you shouldn't expect a steam deck 2 with a custom chip! A rebrand of an existing low power laptop chip is much more likely.

PlayStation has much more weight to throw around and sells tons of units. They are an exception. I'm sure they can forecast 10 million handhelds and have the data to back it up.

 

[Fake]

"This isn't even slightly true btw"

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

That's Grubb bro. Not Jez

Holy shit. I was so convinced it was this guy that said it as well. Didn't even read his user.
Edited my post.
