just open a poll thread to get his attention, he is basically a console warrior figuring stuff from gaming forums.IT WAS SUPOSED TO BE SEGA!!!
Nintendo is doing fine, they can carry on
Nintendo Switch is a far, far more interesting console than Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S. Raw power isn't everything.
Sony and Nintendo merging would be equally terrible.Sony and Nintendo should catch on to Microsoft and merge. Make sure to write in the contract that they both remain independent, but merge the companies to secure their future.
I wouldnt be surprised if Microsoft does a hostile takeover next. We let them get away with Activision, they have been emboldened.
Clearly, their specs aren't issue give how successful they are.
Their games are as good as they are because of how they play, not how they look. Last thing they'd ever need is Microsoft's hands in the jar.
No, it's just fun to see the difference between Good Guy Phil that is peddled on Twitter and the real Phil in these emails. Hopefully TimDog and the rest sit back and think about what they are doing with their lives.People are now finding out that corporate emails have all kind of discussions?
Ask ColtEastwood on X about that. He will give you an honest reply.Yeah sure. Can’t win so buy more. How are people still applauding this is beyond me.
This would be blocked by every competition authority on the planet, as it would represent direct horizontal consolidation.The same idiots who are in support of them buying activision will see no problem with this either I bet.
What a joke of a company. Can’t compete worth shit so they have to buy the entire industry. Pathetic.
"Console war engagement is my oxygen."I refuse to believe that Nintendo's upper management wasn't aware of these possibilities already. They aren't stupid. They also will know who and what ValueAct is. I bet Furukawa et al. are not surprised by these "leaks".
Imagine if they found out emails about everyone else in the industry, who would then be sitting back and etc? You think they care?No, it's just fun to see the difference between Good Guy Phil that is peddled on Twitter and the real Phil in these emails.

Better graphics wouldn't hurt. Of course. They don't need the slimy hands of Microsoft for that, though.Oh I will never deny that they make quality games, that isn't their issue. Their issue for me is they don't care too much about power anymore. But it's games like Xenoblade, Zelda that really deserve actually decent specs, so that you don't have this jaggy fest, textures actually looking great. And a stable performance.
Imagine if we had Zelda looking as crisp, clean and detailed as RDR2 for example. I've played Tears and it's playable, but would benefit greatly from way better hardware.
I don't follow, sorry."Console war engagement is my oxygen."
Well when everyone else gets their emails leaked we can discuss that then.Imagine if they found out emails about everyone else in the industry, who would then be sitting back and etc? You think they care?
I actually read the article and OP's claims seem like bullshit. Nowhere does it state ValueAct are funded my MSFT. They even sued Microsoft in the past.
Can someone actually post some evidence to corroborate the stinky smelly icky smell of bullshit I'm sensing?
If MS were spending those resources on putting out the best console on the market and pushing out 90+ bangers every three to six months, no one would care. Gamers would be eating better than ever. That is how market competition is supposed to work: you win by delivering the best products to the market. MS and XBOX have decided that's too much like hard work, so instead of developing studios and building mindshare for their IPs, they've decided to buy massive catalogs of IPs and developers (that have always been mostly platform agnostic) and wall them off for their own platforms.Just I am saying that Sony is using their ressources and MS is using theirs, just MS has way more ressources than Sony.
The reeeeeee thread is so funnyThe Microsoft / Activision Blizzard acquisition |OT| Antitrust Simulator (completed; discussing post-merger issues) OT
For the lawyers in this thread, does MSFT have any recourse here? The FTC fucked up big time and published trade secrets in the public domain, which means revealing internal strategies to competitors. The information is out there and that's damaging for MSFT.www.resetera.com
Xbox fans wants Ms to sue the ftc

Sage : " You have just made yourself an enemy for life!"He's going to come under attack for saying this.
Ah OK, better than lyin' and implyin'I updated the OP where Phil Spencer lays out the strategy. First Paragraph.
That some thread title...
They said many times that they can't wait this kind stuff to leak, when it leaks they say "oh, not this one"
The Microsoft outrage machine is just making shit up at this point.
