Lmao shots fired. I gotta admit, Phil knows how to apply pressure where needed.

I think it's a diss to Sony for their history of having slightly audible consoles in the past.

Eh I think he was just saying the games matter most, not a specific piece of hardware.

The pro is the one that is notorious for being loud, shits a joke sometimes.
I do find his choice of metaphor ironic though considering they opted to unveil their console long before they showed off any gameplay on it.

After what Shu did to them during ps4-xbox1 reveal, this sounds like a comeback.
He positively sounded hurt back then by videos sony made.

Phil needs to learn xbox will never surpass playstation. He's becoming more unlikeable.

lol, respect the hustle. It's come at a good time with TLOU II and GoT likely to push the PS4 noise issue front and centre 
It's just a bit of banter, not as vicious as what Sony did last gen with the disc swapping that we all loved as well. It's good to see a bit of fight and barbed humour sometimes

He wasn't running Xbox then.

Is that the exception? We always read about how quiet the X1X is etc. so I'm curious as to how quiet. I can't do another gen with PS4 Pro noise. Headphones help but it's fucking awful.

Yeah I think it is, I dont hear the system otherwise. When I get back into TLOU2 I will have to see if my ps4 fires up haha.

Microsoft should create an ad that goes "How to place your console in your livingroom".

With cross play on modernwarfare it's pretty easy to hear the ps4 players in the lobby chat....either that or they are gaming in a hair salon

And then proceed to throw out the minifridge full of booze and replace it with the series X?
I'm actually glad this is all happening because for so long I've heard bullshit about how you can't have a nice looking PC in your living room because... Reasons, and now both consoles are basically the size of your average HTPC case.
Good times.

I mean, maybe he's just talking about noise as a console foe in general? It does feel like that whole cross-company peace thing didn't last long, though, lol.
That's okay. It was lame anyway. I expect these companies to take shots at each other and promote their own console to the best of their abilities.

Then why did they talk about the console so much? Not much left to say about the console.

Mojang has devkits and probaby retail units at this stage.Well, he can't know that now can he
It's about the PS3 and PS4 in particular.

This is such a weird shot to take at "THIS" point. He should have used this joke when the Xbox One X came out.

It's hard to "hear the games" from the green team cause Xbox does not have any games making "noise"...

I just beat TLOU2 with my Pro fan running so loud i literally couldnt hear the dialogue without turning it all the way up. even if i could hear the dialogue, the noise was basically a third person in the room screaming while im watching these intense scenes unfold.
at this point, its not something i would even joke about lol. its infuriating. sick burn though. of course, sony can reply back with 'what games?' and it would be an even sicker burn but i digress.

Seems like he is just talking about the fan noise when the console gets hot

I think I'm starting to like him more. At first I though he was a corporate beefcake with a scripted PR talk: "It's all about gamers.", but recently noticed that he is actually a pretty smart guy with a sense of humor. It's a pretty innocent dig and if anything you can always interpret it that July showcase is going to be about games and the console news will take a backseat.

So why make a "noisy PS4" joke now? The PS5 is months away from being released.
