He's not wrong.

Is this him challenging Sony to make a store on the PC, to have yet another storefront to embarrass MS's?

Because they're games aren't free on Steam, just as Sony's.

Yeah, but you aren't being charged twice for them either. The same copy of GoW5 I bought for XbX works on PC, same for State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves. I haven't bought Day's Gone because I'm not gonna pay that much again for the same game I can wait for a sale.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

nah he isnt. He needs to pressure sony. This is a benefit for their users, which honestly needs to see outside of their box. The ability to have cross progression is heavenly teary. Playing on your pc, then xcloud, then xbox is phenomenal. i hope PlayStation people experience that. instead of the usual crap of our stuff is better, we dont need yours.

The clown should pressure Sony by giving their games for free on Steam then

Put up or shut up

 

[JawaSaysUtinni]

I don’t really get the point of his statement. I usually don’t wade in on things like this, but it just seems like a mute statement.

The PC has always been Microsoft’s domain, and for them it makes absolute sense to think about Windows along with Xbox as a complete package. But for someone like Sony, who has often opted for exotic architecture in the past, this just hasn’t made sense. I can understand their strategy now, because I feel like Playstation has perhaps hit a saturation point. If you want to attract new customers, new things have to happen. Plus, the console architecture is much more ‘PC-like’ than generations gone by.

It’s really no different to what Square Enix has been doing or Nintendo has with mobile. Final Fantasy ports and slapping an outrageous price on an already dated game?

Phil saw an opportunity to get some cheap digs in I think. Bare in mind, Sony doesn’t want to cannibalise its own install base. I mean, surely it is better for them to purchasing these games through the Network rather than on someone else’s store with someone else’s fees? Hence, why it is obvious these games are coming much later in the cycle.

So meh really.

 

[Mokus]

Sony being late? Where are the first party games Phil for the brand new console?

Kinda wild that Days Gone on PC has got Phil shook.

[Abriael_GN]

He's not wrong about charging twice.

But I have no doubt that some will find a way to argue that having to pay twice for the same game is actually good

 

[JTCx]

So why the fuck would Sony do it lmao

you seem like a dude who has loose screw man. get some help.

 

[93xfan]

If I released a console with no first party exclusives I'd shut the fuck up and do something about it. That's me though.

While Ratchet looks awesome, I’m more than happy with the experience I get with Gamepass. Been able to play tons more next gen versions of games than I would’ve on PS5 as a price conscious gamer

 

[Leyasu]

Lol very well put.

Also, that fucking name and avatar lol. Love it

 

[assurdum]

Stupid Sony, not only double the Xbox sales but now want to earn more money than MS on pc games reselling their IP later at full price!!!.How dare!

 

[Little Chicken]

He's right, nothing he has said is incorrect. Move on.

 

[DeepEnigma]

He's not wrong.

Let me explains this slowly.

MS.... charges.... for Steam games..... Sony.... charges..... for Steam games.

Sony doesn't have a PC storefront.... so.... refer back to the first sentence you quoted.

 

[assurdum]

He's right, nothing he has said is incorrect. Move on.

 

[Termite]

Is this him challenging Sony to make a store on the PC, to have yet another storefront to embarrass MS's?

Because they're games aren't free on Steam, just as Sony's.

What the hell is with PC gamers pretending that if a game isn't on Steam, it's not on PC? Cult-like behaviour. Xbox studios games are all on PC.

Didn't he just spend 7.5 billion dollars to make people buy xbox hardware ?

No, because all those Bethesda games will be coming to PC. He spent that money to get people on Game Pass.

 

[The Hamburglar]

nah he isnt. He needs to pressure sony. This is a benefit for their users, which honestly needs to see outside of their box. The ability to have cross progression is heavenly teary. Playing on your pc, then xcloud, then xbox is phenomenal. i hope PlayStation people experience that. instead of the usual crap of our stuff is better, we dont need yours.

You’ve been here a week, 50 posts a day with most of them ‘gamepass is amazing’ and ‘Xbox is the best’

It’s exactly why I asked if you’re an astrosurfer

 

[GymWolf]

Is this stuff for real?

 

[Calverz]

I mean he isn’t wrong. Factually he is correct.

 

[DeepEnigma]

What the hell is with PC gamers pretending that if a game isn't on Steam, it's not on PC? Cult-like behaviour. Xbox studios games are all on PC.

Because friends don't let friends use MS's PC store, friend.

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

Don’t you need to ship games to be able to say you’re the only one who ships games day one on cloud console and PC?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Nah i've already gifted this weeks therapy session to Phil

 

[GHG]

The only reason they can do so is because they own the OS and have a store that is consistent across Xbox and Windows.

Since he's running his mouth so much why can't I play the Microsoft games I own via the Windows store on Steam?

Or is that not a valid step since it would no longer benefit them?

You guys fall for this mans crap every single time. Imagine valuing him talking shit and "pressuring" other companies more than you do him delivering a consistent stream of high quality games for you to play.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Do you get the Steam versions of Xbox first party for free if you buy on Xbox?

This would require an integration between platforms to work well, which is rumored to be coming as an option to Steam for other platforms (for a while now).. whether that will actually come out, or MS would use it, is another question.

 

[Dr Bass]

He's not wrong.



Yeah, but you aren't being charged twice for them either. The same copy of GoW5 I bought for XbX works on PC, same for State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves. I haven't bought Day's Gone because I'm not gonna pay that much again for the same game I can't wait for a sale.

Why would you buy a game twice anyway? If you buy it on PS, why would you buy it on PC and vice versa?

Phil's statements are completely disingenuous.

They need to start releasing games instead of talking constant garbage.

 

[Snake29]

Maybe he should get mad on all those other publishers releasing games years later on PC.

 

[martino]

He's right, nothing he has said is incorrect. Move on.

it's an opinion and one way to do things. there no right or wrong here.
you can agree with him. I am too

Is this him challenging Sony to make a store on the PC, to have yet another storefront to embarrass MS's?

if only it could lead to that. completion of the long awaited prophecy would be near complete.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Phil talking shit means he's annoyed with Sony moving to the PC space.

yea I think PC has been a very profitable venture for MS. Halo and Sea of Thieves sold a ton on steam.

 

[Jaybe]

So how come I didn’t get get a free copy of MCC on PC since I bought it on Xbox? Weird take. His good guy mask fell off.

 

[Fredrik]

Lol where is good guy Phil? He has never been like this before. Maybe he understand that they have nothing to counter Horizon and Ratchet.
But he’s right of course. I’ve definitely double dipped.
MS needs to sync up Windows store and Steam licenses though. There is double dipping on the same platform right now.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Kinda wild that Days Gone on PC has got Phil shook.

Kinda fitting.

How many days gone since their last exclusive?

 

[DeepEnigma]

The only reason they can do so is because they own the OS and have a store that is consistent across Xbox and Windows.

Since he's running his mouth so much why can't I play the Microsoft games I own via the Windows store on Steam?

Or is that not a valid step since it would no longer benefit them?

You guys fall for this mans crap every single time. Imagine valuing him talking shit and "pressuring" other companies more than you do him delivering a consistent stream of high quality games for you to play.

 

[SlimySnake]

It's quite ironic that he talks about "toxicity" in gaming but then says shit like this while constantly propping up his gang of twitter warriors.

He's lucky Jim Ryan is a slimeball as well, if not Sony would wipe the floor with him in ways that would make the way they destroyed Mattrick look tame.

lol I took a screenshot of his ' I hate console warriors' interview and posted it in the now locked thread.

It's like if Phil saw Jimbo getting all that bad press and said, nope I want the press!

 

[JTCx]

What the hell is with PC gamers pretending that if a game isn't on Steam, it's not on PC?

Why are you pretending theres other platforms outside of steam?

 

[Little Chicken]

It's not a big deal, MS do provide a better service in this respect, there's no point in being outraged by people like Phil or Jim pushing their platform.

I'm sure the board at MS would love it if people paid twice for the same product.

 

[Topher]

Let me explains this slowly.

MS.... charges.... for Steam games..... Sony.... charges..... for Steam games.

Sony doesn't have a PC storefront.... so.... refer back to the first sentence you quoted.

 

[IntentionalPun]

The only reason they can do so is because they own the OS and have a store that is consistent across Xbox and Windows.

I log into EGS w/ my PSN Id. Sony now owns part of EGS, could likely work out the idea of unlocking games via PSN Id integration.

Beyond that, Sony could create their own store/launcher.. which they might do some day. (although I suspect continuing to support Epic is more their future plans)

Whether Sony would actually do that is another question.

 

[Bonfires Down]

We're in the shitter when Resetera has a more reasonable response to this statement than Gaf does.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Is this stuff for real?

Yeah, MS always had these super cringy attack ads on Apple. Worked well!

steam=/=their store. plus their game is on steam.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Already posted. The last thread was locked. This is console wars.

Doesnt matter if the CEO of Xbox is doing.

But Phil said he doesn't do console wars

 

[DispatchNinja]

Hard to take criticism from last place, plus coming from a guy that launched a new system with 0 games, and had to buy fucking Bethesda to get people excited about Xbox. Imagine Sony releasing 0 exclusives and then buying rockstar to slap ps5 exclusive on their games.

 

[Venom Snake]

Does he not understand the existence of business models other than those favored by Microsoft?..

Nah, that's not it. It's just an advertisement for their own brand.
I mean, he can do that too, no problem with that.

 

[Chukhopops]

Uncle Phil getting a lot of people mad just by speaking the truth:
- it’s true the Sony ports are late ports;
- it’s true there is no cross buy or even cross progression.

Why not accept this is Sony’s strategy and move on?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Lord Philen

 

[Spidey Fan]

It's a sign of desperation when you start firing shots at your competitors.

Maybe he should focus his attention on releasing a single half decent exclusive for the XsX.

maybe sony should release gamepass. Xbox people are feasting with gamepass. This year, they got mlb and outriders for free. What did sony did for their users, charge them 70$.

see, i can use your words.

honestly, this is shit, that i have to stoop to your level.

 

[Abriael_GN]

Incidentally, I know this is a concept that's difficult to understand for sensational websites that live off controversy and cherry-picking small quotes that may trigger the console warriors but...

There's a rather big difference between "criticizing PlayStation" and saying something that your platform has going for it, which people may like, and that other platforms don't have, which is what Spencer is actually doing.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

He must be mad people are still willing to pay full price for PlayStation ports on PC so maybe Sony is making tons of money while maintaining that PS exclusive demand.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Man you guys never cease to amaze me with how in your feelings you get when MS speaks.

He literally is just saying their offering has an advantage over Sony, without mentioning their name.

That's it.. it's a common way to market your advantages over a competitor.. there is no "criticism" of Sony.
