Dude looks exhausted. No wonder If you are constantly in third place.

Jesus, that's petty. He's 56, has a stressful job. I bet he still looks younger than you.

Phil doesn't learn
He doesn't even know where he is?

Yeah, he doesn't look as bad as people in the thread are making out. Some people are saying he looks like he's undergoing chemotherapy! I mean, come on. He's lost a lot of weight. He's 56 - not a spring chicken. That's some pretty harsh lighting, and he does have a stressful job, and his unhappiness is probably bleeding through a little on his face, which can make you look older (more tired).

I'm no fan of Phil but we're getting a little carried away.

He looks unwell.

I'd say he looks tired and uninspired, probably stressed and unhappy about the PR peddling he's having to do. The bright lights aren't helping.

I don't know, maybe the weight loss regimen wasn't the healthiest, and he's undernourished somehow. California can be pretty kooky with their diets sometimes. Maybe he went vegan or fruitarian.

I heard Colt say that he heard Phil plans to retire after the end of this gen, shortly after the launch of next.

For like 6 years Phil promised us the games are coming now they are coming but on all platforms..
Phils business strategies should be studied in businesses schools
How to destroy a well established brand 101.
This is simply stupidity .

You must be completely irradiated to think that someone almost 20 years older than me looks younger than me.

Bro he just looked great 8 months ago. He was 55 then.

I obviously don't think highly of you.

Yeah and I don't give a shit what you think of me.

Agreed. He looks like a pretty fit 56 year old man.

Yeah and I don't give a shit what you think of me.

Okay, tough guy.

 

[Humdinger]

Bro he just looked great 8 months ago. He was 55 then.

He actually looked fat to me. Not obese, but clearly overweight.

I do think the stress is taking its toll. It's not just that it's a "stressful job" but that his legacy is tarnished. He hoped that things would go a different way. He had a Vision. This is not how he imagined that things would go. I'm sure he is disappointed but has to put on a good face for the employees and the public. That adds a lot of stress in itself, the pretense.

It's starting to dawn on them:

Ozempic maybe?

You seem to contradict yourself. First you say they have the upper hand in raw power, by a significant margin.

Read the rest of the sentence and you’ve got your answer.

Then you say it's poorly designed before it's more expensive than the PS5. Which is it? It can't be both. It can't be both significantly more powerful (theoretically speaking) and cost the same.

It is both more expensive and underperforming compared to a machine that is weaker on paper. That’s poorly designed.

As to why the XSX isn't consistently outperforming the PS5 can be due to numerous reasons. Slower API, "the tools", less focus on optimizing for a smaller platform and what have you.

Yeah. Poorly designed hardware and software integration.

Claiming the XSX is a bad console is just trolling though.

No it’s not.

Phil is nuts. He’s still got this ridiculous idea that there’s an untapped audience waiting to get into core gaming. It’s not going to happen.

Yea reminds me of when people thought mobile would be taking over gaming.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

So that’s it, the new Sega is here in the room with us right now.

Don't insult Sega like that.
Can you imagine Sega with MS money?


Just bring past plus present Gears games to PlayStation and I'm good.

 

[Fluffytheterrible]

Loooooo-ooooh-ser!

This is his absolute biggest fallacy and it's what drove the massive failure of the Series S this gen.

There is no one left that they can pitch to, everyone has either seen their product and passed on it, or they have bought into it to some extent.

This actually goes for almost all the big gaming companies, even mobile..

The customer acquisition era is over, the territories have been marked, now it's the era of market and value share wars and trying to creep into someone else's territory in order to get revenue from there.
