Uh, is anyone listening live?

Did he really answer those questions without saying NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol...lmao

 

[NickFire]

they sure seem to revel in alternatives facts and living in alternate reality

That much has been obvious for a very, very, very long time.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just peeked at other's place OT and... good lord

For a place which hates anything Trump and his philosophy, they sure seem to revel in alternatives facts and living in alternate reality

For commies in drag, they sure love big global capitalist corpo #2.

Just wave a rainbow and all is forgiven. Like fish brains to lures.

What the hell is going on?

There's so much fire here that I can't see where I'm going with all the smoke.

Yes, he has been trained too much in PR, it's better to say yes or no unless you have to clarify. He's getting caught saying too much.

Sarah did a good job of not saying anything unless she had to, tbf

 

[dotnotbot]

You think FTC/Sony won day 1? Are you crazy? Day 2 has been nothing but nonsense to try and paint Nintendo as not capable console to show that putting COD on there is useless . As for what fill just said bout the competitivness it simply was are you more competitive in 1 country over another. Yes.

See? This is the problem you have to deal with in the internet. There's 0 fucking logic in the discussions, people are brainless and will put anything in your mouth then claim they "won" an argument. Where the fuck did I say FTC is winning?

I said

No wonder they're so sure MS is winning

And your answer suddenly insinuates I think FTC won

You think FTC/Sony won day 1? Are you crazy?

Please learn to fucking read.

 

[Banjo64]

Have you ever said that you want to make it clear to Google and Amazon that they will not catch up to Microsoft?

I have said that

Phil’s getting cooked.

 

[PaNaMa]

Calling your opinion foolish is not name calling.

Microsoft did say that games would be on other consoles on a case-by-case basis if they have the audience for that. So far Indiana Jones is no on it, ES6 is almost definitely not on it, Starfield is not on it....are you claiming PS players don't like those games? Is there no audience?

Okay, thank you for clueless response.

 

[PaintTinJr]

A big part of that was Sony releasing a hard to develop for console at $100 more than competition.

It really wasn't because compared to the PS2, the PS3 was an easy 2 threaded 3.2GHz CPU and a high end Opengl es Nvidia gpu as Tim Sweeney was saying, but wrongly quoted for years as imply the SPU programming was easy.

WE saw the Microsoft shill handbook from a reddit link someone resurrected and saw Florian make those plays with accounts - and counting here. The PS3 gen was shill city, despite the 360s that didn't RRod being decent hardware

That's what happens when your identity is your gender pronoun and which brands you shill for

This hearing is making me sweat just listening to it.

I don’t think people realise just how frightening it is for executives to give evidence in court. You’re terrified of every answer you give because you’re worried of digging a hole for yourself. So you end up stuttering over the most basic questions.

It’s why they end up returning to mantras, like politicians.

Basically say as little as possible, repeat as much as possible.

 

[adamsapple]

This guy in the stream lol, he's so upset ahahaha

Brother is an Xbox fanboy look at the merch. Saying this is Sony's lawyer ahahah

Man 2023 human beings are so funny

No, he’s talking about the Mexican or Brazllian one.

Yeah Phil doesn't seem to remember what he has said in sworn testimony.

No, I think those are Sony fanboys lol. It's about this other stream.

 

[adamsapple]

No, he’s talking about the Mexican or Brazllian one.

Good cause I popped that one up and holy shit it's hard to hear anything between the "OH SHIT HE JUST SAY THAT?" and "GOT'EM SHEAT"

Of course he remembers, but he's not there to fuck it up.

Oh, i'd be shitting myself, im not good in these situations but i also don't make millions. It's mandatory that you memorize/repeat what your deposition said, if you get caught saying otherwise it makes you look like a liar.

This stuff can cost them their jobs too, i guess it's the cost you pay for being the top 1% - you rep the megacorp

XBOX GAME PASS "STATE OF THE UNION"

This hearing is making me sweat just listening to it.

Phil had the Kung pao chicken. Phil likes his chicken spicy.

Those guys were horrible

 

[Varteras]

This is who xbox fans respect?

Dude has absolutely no self-awareness if he's calling something cringe

 

[Heisenberg007]

This strategy doc is going to be crucial. This "differentiated content" line of of questioning can be a game changer.

 

[Banjo64]

Xbox Game Pass state of the union sent to Nadella

This is cringe as shit

 

[Thirty7ven]

Here we go "beyond console, PC and CLOUD"

Establishing

 

[jroc74]

Uh oh...the business strategy for Game Pass....

I just started listening to this today.

 

[Bernoulli]

just came back, what news do we have today?

 

[StealthGoblin]

What if Sony and Microsoft each inva... bought half of ActivisionBlizzard and constitute a.. I dunno, some form of "Non-aggression-pact".

You think Sony have $30B down the back of the sofa?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Dude has absolutely no self-awareness if he's calling something cringe

He lives in his own little Twitter bubble, collecting his MicroSwag, blocking descent and criticism, essentially creating a aura of narcissism around himself.

Probably cries in the shower.

 

[Thirty7ven]

I'm surprised he didn't say ABK is a small triple A publisher

 

[Ronin_7]

Phil Cooked Spencer.

 

[Bernoulli]

Phil Cooked Spencer.

what happened?

 

[Nothing1234]

When they say Game Pass exclusive content do they mean games that are only available on game pass and not for sale?

 

[Venom Snake]

Xbox Game Pass state of the union sent to Nadella

This is cringe as shit

Oh god, the thought experiment is getting out of hand, someone pull the plug, quick!

 

[ulantan]

You think Sony have $30B down the back of the sofa?

They got Herm Hulst digging for loose change.

 

[Varteras]

I agree with that, and if Sony had failed to rebound that would have been pretty much 100% on them. But they did, and they didn't need to foreclose on market options for Microsoft by buying 3P publishers to do it.

Microsoft apparently can't compete in a similar manner, and that should be under question. Thankfully, it is.

Not only that, it ended up being one of the closest, if not closest, console races in history. Followed by Microsoft completely derailing their momentum with some of the most boneheaded decisions that sit alongside Sega, Virtual Boy, and PS3. Causing them to close down a huge chunk of their first party and largely give up on deals. They almost closed Xbox down because they didn't want to bother sticking it out. Until Phil convinced them of some master plan. The struggles of Xbox today are a direct result of their own buffoonery. Their competitors shouldn't have to suffer for that.

 

[Thirty7ven]

AAA games inherently limited

 

[NickFire]

Edit - maybe just exclusive or altogether.

 

[Ronin_7]

what happened?

FTC got him with Switch being 'mobile'

Did Phil just admit they tried to buy AB in 2020? Am I reading that right adamsapple ? I thought this all started in November 2021???

No... it's about revenue splits for games on the store.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Did Phil just admit they tried to buy AB in 2020? Am I reading that right adamsapple ? I thought this all started in November 2021???

No, it's about bringing COD to Xbox Series. (Revenue split) Establishing importance of COD or AB franchises.

 

[Topher]

Offer on revenue split

I think it's the deal Bond was talking about yesterday? that activision wanted 80% instead of 70% to bring(?) cod to xbox

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I kinda wish CSPAN were broadcasting this. OTOH, I'd have to sit down at the television.

Not only that, it ended up being one of the closest, if not closest, console races in history. Followed by Microsoft completely derailing their momentum with some of the most boneheaded decisions that sit alongside Sega, Virtual Boy, and PS3. Causing them to close down a huge chunk of their first party and largely give up on deals. They almost closed Xbox down because they didn't want to bother sticking it out. Until Phil convinced them of some master plan. The struggles of Xbox today are a direct result of their own buffoonery. Their competitors shouldn't have to suffer for that.

And the funny part is, that "master plan" might have given rise to another "master plan" that could end up costing them the biggest acquisition in gaming history.

But, we shall see how everything plays out.
