I hope its a secret because its some bangers and not a secret simply because there's nothing happening until say June or so as we could use a decent show sooner

Sure....makes sense if someone doesn't want to invest in PC gaming to own an Xbox. Value is subjective though. I find plenty of value in not being limited by the constraints of console performance, backward compatibility and options in accessories. So yeah, can't buy a 4080 for what it costs for both consoles, but the flip side is you can't buy the equivalent to a 4080 in consoles at any price. Nothing wrong with only gaming on consoles, but there are trade offs either way.

Actually selling less than the X1 is unexpected. As the decrease in hardware sales in regions like the EU.
Sony releases games on PC but they haven't seen a decrease in console sales. Microsoft should be able to beat the X1 at the very least.

I have gamed with Larry and Phil when mics aren't in their faces and Phil is actually a nice guy "off camera" but Larry came across as smug, arrogant and very condescending, someone I wanted to throat punch if I am being honest

At this point they have to abandon Game Pass first party releases and start releasing their games on multiple platforms and charging what everyone else is charging. They are losing money fast so the only way they can redeem something is becoming the biggest 3rd party publisher in the world. I'm not even yapping I firmly believe this is the route they take starting next gen.

Doubt he would be posting about PS5 sales if he were towing the line. Sounds to me like he is thumbing his nose at Phil Spencer.
Following the OG Xbox playbook (and a somewhat similar sales pattern of 20-25 million units).Sony still bringing the Pro and Xbox targeting around double the Pro's power about 12-18 months after Pro comes out
Random thoughts (that I first said about 3 months ago)
I think I'm going to bow out from the Xbox sites and forums for a while.
There's just far to much negativity at the moment and personally I don't think it's that's warranted. As much hate Xbox is receiving at the moment, I think PlayStation are making some shitty moves too and not getting an inch of flak for it.
For me personally I prefer the Series X hardware and games library and think it's better than PS5 in usability and reliability but the internet appears to disagree on those points.

It's fine that you have your preferences but many others might not see it the same way as you do. To you it might not make sense why people choose one over the other but I'm sure those that make those decisions probably have good reasons for doing so. Doesn't make either of you wrong but it's just the way it is.

Almost certainly not towing the line, those tweets are laced with sarcasm given the context.
He was one of the last remaining OG's that had been with Xbox from the start, but ended up being a casualty of their current demise.
Once his NDA is up it will be interesting to see what he thought about the shift in strategy (PC day one, gamepass, publishing on other consoles etc) as it was happening.

Major nelson must be relieved to finally speak his mind. Just didn't expect that he would start promoting playstation and mocking Phil spencer like that. I bet most xbox execs play more on switch and playstation than they do xbox. Its just a job to them. Their personal preferences are different. Heck, Phil spencer doesn't hide that he likes the switch and he would do the same for PS if they weren't a direct competitor.

Without Steam there’d be no reason to buy Microsoft’s games. Microsoft’s storefront is among the worst on PC.
It’s so bad you have to RESET the game app, if it doesn’t start. Even when using Game Pass, there are times when none of your installed games will launch.
It’s incredible, but this is the company that sometimes can’t even get quizzes working correctly on their rewards page.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Larry obviously tries to make money from pushing his Amazon affiliate links. Considering the current market reality he'll earm more from promoting Playstations than Xboxes.

Better be safe than sorry. I always find it weird when people talk about "negativity" when we are also talking about facts, but you have the right to have whatever opinion you want to have. As for the Xbox/PS5 usability and reliability, a lot of people simply only have one of those consoles, and are naturally more at ease with the one that they do own. I don't know how Xbox work, how good or bad the UI and other stuff like cloud saves work. Good for you if you find your Xbox more adapted to your usage.

Just be thankful that PC is a solution, stop trying to make it seem like a bad strategy. I’m playing Starfield at 130-165fps with a big list of nice mods and I’ll be forever thankful that I can do that. Console exclusives are the worst.

PS does not need his “charity/good guy” advisement. Games and exclusives do all the talking. Still not sure why they acquired Activision, the studios hold no value for most gamers.

Playstation has made shitty moves as of late. It isn't just raising the price of online that has me pissed off is that I can't downgrade to another tier without letting my current one expire.
Also and this has me really mad, I can't extend my PS+ subscription at the 30% black friday discount they are giving to new members. I'd have to pay full price.
On Dec. 2nd my PS+ subscription will expire and only if I can get it for the 30% off will I extend it.

Except it IS a bad strategy if the goal is to move more Xbox units.
Like you I played I played Starfield on PC instead of that 30 fps console.
