So now because Phil is being questioned on the capability of the Switch compared to consoles that are 10x more capable suddenly Teraflops don't matter?

This is too good.

He also seems to be leading to MS themselves not counting Switch market share when evaluating Xbox's business on internal documents and communication. At least that's what it sounds like.
 
After 100 posts of mutual dick licking finally someone appeared who understands what's going on. God that thread is awful.

Asking some of the people in that thread to understand these definitions are being set for the judge's benefit (and to ensure that both the lawyers and the witnesses are on the same page regarding what's defined as being discussed), is like asking them to use their own brain.

They don't have one.

It’s the same old intellectual dishonesty from the same people, as always. It always matters when it can be used for their hype and marketing but as soon as it’s exposed, it “no longer matters”.

Had someone try pulling the same line of “logic” yesterday regarding Redfall. Now claiming that “no one cares and it was never expected to be good”, which was a straight up lie. Microsoft zealots certainly cared and hyped the game up all the way to a week before release. But now that it’s one of the biggest train wrecks in the industry, suddenly, the narrative does a 180.

Metrics of success are on Console Gen 9 share. As established yesterday they didn’t include the Switch in this category.
Also presented that info to board to brag about their console share (when PS5 was short on supply), around June 2022. So very much recent.

Now they can't get back out of it 😄

The FTC really is doing a great job. I wish the CMA had a similar process.

Now that there's a break, who was it in this thread that kept on parroting "but they never announced Starfield for Playstation so therefore there's no evidence there was ever a Playstation version" or words to that effect?

Because I'm seeing a lot of "duh" in that other thread and I'm like nope.

It is curious that many would push back against the idea that a multiplatform producer (previously) was planning for their game to be multiplatform. Some people just can't be helped.

Do you remember if there were discussions amongst the gaming leadership team members to include Nintendo in metrics around console share?

Spencer: we probably did. I don’t have a specific conversation in mind.







Spencer we have different views of our share, some have Nintendo and Sony, some do not.

^ chatting poo.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I can see (hear) the FTC is out of their element when it comes to technology, lol.

I can read the same based on Derek's twitter synopsis. There's more questions about metrics than a board room meeting.

it has haptic feedback? lol

i have not noticed on mine lol
They hyped it up during the switch reveal, and to my knowledge, only "123 switch" uses it. It's disappointing as I was intrigued with the tech, and this fact caused me to initially dismiss the haptic feedback in the DualSense. I have since had experience with the DualSense and it did indeed deliver on their claims.

Unfortunately that fact is all too true across multiple levels of government. It’s part of the reason why I support term and age limits for the Supreme Court. Having 70 and 80 year old people ruling on cases they have little grasp of that can shape jurisprudence on the issue for decades seems… wrong. In such highly technical cases, it’s not the Justices giving their opinions, it’s their staffers working through them.
