Kind of an odd comparison but the way Sony and Microsoft are handling their respective Marketing campaigns reminds me alot of the 2020 election right now.

Microsoft is behaving like the Trump campaign: Trump tweets like every hour and is holding rallies almost every other day. Microsoft has daily updates and events almost every month.

Sony is in hiding and radio silent. Biden wont leave his basement to campaign and is relying on the media to help him win, not unlike sony resting on their laurels.

I could probably go alot more in depth in the comparisons but it is striking how similar it is, at least in my opinion.

That's a hell of a lot of money to recoup if he doesn't publish on PS, mind.

Yup. People that think these huge rpgs aren't coming to PS are foolling themselves. Yea they spent 7.5 billion but at the end of the day the MS division has to see a return on that investment or come close to it. If they don't then Phil is gone.

I also suspect this deal was pitched to Nintendo and Sony and they either put in a bid or didn't see any value. My guess is they did bid and that's why you have the 7.5 billion over pay by MS.

We're approaching a million covid deaths globally and you guys are still like this. *gulps*
 
Considering doing the $200 trade in and waiting out front of a store tomorrow while simultaneously refreshing my phone as I sit there. Double the luck of getting one eh?

But let us be real, I will be too lazy and just try online and end up trading my Pro elsewhere.

Video of Xbox series x being turned on

I don't know why exactly but in all the videos I've seen the Series X feels somewhat... cheap. I'm talking about the outer case and appearance of course, not the hardware.

Maybe it's the monochrome mouse grey, maybe it's that ridiculous green grid bolted on the top. I also have the feeling it's quite light for the size, which might contribute. It's like I'm looking at the toy version of the real console. Am I alone in this? 🤷‍♂️

Probably due the time/cost of change the game for that.

There is no magic.
But the technical fellow at Microsoft said it is a piece of piss to do and developers just need to change a few lines of code....

There's no real perf tuning necessary when you do this, and so often it's just as easy as changing three lines of code, and then the game works." Goossen adds. "Even when it's not that easy, the fixes are still pretty minor. We had one triple-A title where doubling the frame-rate really worked perfectly, except that the crowd animation was twice as fast as normal. And so, those sorts of fixes are typically very, very easy for developers to go fix

Xbox Series X/S getting Football Manager 21 day one is incredible. I am so jealous. I would be day one on this if it was on PS5 no cap. Xbox are making serious moves here and I have to commend them. Been an all-time great week for them.

Well PR gone be PR.

FH3 case is pretty simple... is Playground making a team to use their time and budget to change the game to run in 60fps (at least on X)? If they don't then the 60fps won't happen.

How much time and budget is needed? We will never know but it was enough to Playground not make the changes.

It won't hold anything back and it will run games better than PS5!

I finally took the plunge and bought an Xbox One X for dirty cheap (helping a friend to raise money for PS5) to complete this generation set (PS4/XBO/Switch).

It looks like I did the smart choice. :messenger_grinning_sweat:
That's just a BC game playing in BC mode.
