It's even sadder when you notice how Sony's cloud gaming service runs circles around Xbox's.

Did Phil Spencer kill your dog or something?

No he's been too busy murdering Xbox to have time for animal cruelty.

It's inevitable. In a world of Cloud Gaming, hardware exclusivity is irrelevant. Either Sony expands their Cloud, or gets left behind. And once they expand, might as well just port natively for those who prefer it.

PC, Cloud, Mobile are three pillars of gaming that Sony can't afford to ignore, they also know this.

Is Cloud not dead yet?

What did it say?

What did it say?

Oh wow they removed it?! WTF lol

This guy posted his local Walmart's redesigned layout, which did not have an Xbox section anymore. The new layout only PlayStation and Nintendo sections.

If systems are being sent back to MS seemingly around the same time, something is happening that's not a coincidence, and will probably sidestep the optics of heavily discounted systems, it would signal "this brand failed". They would rather buy them back to use as servers or whatever. Of course Sega didn't have that luxury of spending cash to save face which is the Xbox business model

They did the same thing with starfield discs if you remember. Instead of letting the retailers sell them at heavy discounts they ordered them to destroy discs and covered costs.

I must've missed that, when was this?

I must've missed that, when was this?

It was 2 years ago at Walmart I believe. There was some misunderstanding from Wario64 that you could buy them for $0.3 but that wasn't true. Walmart just threw out/destroyed the discs under MS's instructions.

Found it

 

[BlackTron]

Come get us ahahahahah

Make no mistake, I will not hesitate to mention names if MS seek my help with their investigation.

Curiously you're the one trying to stifle speech here by suggesting I be removed.
At no point did I state forum posters here would be sued. Several joked about it themselves though!

Directly from Microsoft's playbook. Strongly imply your meaning without directly stating it, leaving an escape route to backpedal through if needed later, like a lawyer. It's actually the exact same move as the article. You sure you aren't from the same ancient ninja school as Phil?

You know what got killed tobi?

Wasn't that guy the co pilot of that aircraft when the engines stalled and it began its death spiral and couldn't help get the engines restarted?

Then during its descent jumped out hoping his Acti parachute would save him only to land completely out of the gaming safe zone?

Maybe I am thinking someone else

Why can't Cloud Gaming have exclusives?

Also cloud gaming sucks due to increased latency caused by the unavoidable laws of physics.

You need a big enough ignorant audience to ignore that fact for cloud gaming to work.

That audience will never coalesce.
