Only works for those who are willing to blindly buy into the gaslighting. I don't think the folks who are mocking this campaign (what you call "complaining") are among those.

Why does it matter? Do you get the exact same games, experience, etc. on those devices that you get with an actual Xbox console? No, you do not. It matters because it is a false equivalence.

Gaslighting? This is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Also, yes, if you've ever used xcloud on any of those mobile devices, you do get to play most games that are permitted to be on the service and they are the exact same games on console. You may also use a controller and you may also use the app on a tv and do the same. The difference being is that since you are streaming, the quality is dependent on your connection which is displayed for you to know how good it is. They don't keep it a secret.

As for PC the experience is better than console as you can download the games and adjust the settings while gaining the ability to use keyboard and mouse.

As for any handheld PC's the game looks only as good as the device you're using, which is common knowledge. Again, you can play PlayStation games on the same devices via Steam.

Lastly PSNow, where available does the exact same thing and is just as good of a presentation. What do you have to say about that? Are they also gaslighting?

Do you have any other dumb things to say or are you done coming off sounding stupid?

That's Britney (Haynes) Godwin from Big Brother US season 12, 14, & BB:RG.

As a man of science and high culture who watched the show when she was on, there's also a great scene of her on some type of row machine for a challenge.

what a lame marketing campaign.

What else could we expect from these dimwits who couldn't win against 20x smaller companies, despite having all the money in the world.

If my phone is an Xbox, then why can't I play Xbox games that I own on it without paying a subscription?

Can't even buy games in the Xbox app on iPhone. You have to go to the web page or an actual, you know... Xbox.

Back in my day everything was a Nintendo...

I lack every PC word on the planet to describe my thoughts on this.

But this is one of the reasons i always avoided the xbox brand past the original xbox.

Somebody please end Microsoft's suffering.

So if everything is an Xbox then what will be the point of releasing an Xbox handheld, or a more powerful Xbox to compete with Sony PS6? Can I just play the next generation Xbox games on any devices that will allow me to play it on?

Off topic….

Why can't I create a new topic on the neogaf gaming thread? Do I need to reach a certain amount reply thread points, or do I need to pay for neogaf Gold?

Except not all games are "permitted on the service". Xcloud has less than 400 games per simple google search versus a few thousand available on the console. Are all console games available on PC, and vice versa? Nope. Xbox, PC and xCloud do not all have the same games and experiences. So the answer is no, it is not the same. Pretending it is....that's gaslighting. I can damn well imagine someone subscribing to xcloud thinking they will be able to fire up any game on Xbox and learning the hard way that they can't.

Lastly PSNow, where available does the exact same thing and is just as good of a presentation. What do you have to say about that? Are they also gaslighting?

What are you talking about? The ad itself is the gaslighting, not the existence of the service. I don't see Sony plastering ads up that claim every PC or phone is a PlayStation. If they did then yeah, I'd call that gaslighting as well.

I'm not sure why people are acting confused by this. It's a dumb slogan but it fits what they've been saying for many years.

 

[SHA]

Be prepared for PS2 graphics, I'm not disappointed, I like it actually.

 

[SHA]

Why so many? Is it because you need help playing the thousands of games so you needed more consoles?

Can't have fun with that spending, it's not for fun.

 

[SHA]

What a dumb idea, man an Xbox is just an Xbox, who thinks about this ideas?

It's an icon on the screen like Netflix.

Folks are fully "capable" of understanding the analogy that is being presented with this marketing campaign and thinking it is stupid at the same time.

So you think everyone understands the concept of how MS and Sony operate these days despite knee-jerk acting like they don't.. Well, none of our scenarios are good..
I expect a lot more from people posting on an enthusiast gaming forum.

I think most everyone is talking about this silly ad campaign. How does that apply to Sony? I don't see them saying every phone is a PlayStation.

I don't get why you think folks on a "enthusiast gaming forum" would just nod their head in agreement with an ad campaign like this. If anyone is going to scrutinize this stuff, it will be enthusiasts.
