[H-I-M]

This is exactly why we'll KEEP on celebrating every time Xbox loses.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Plot twist. They went and spent themselves out of business on accident.

 

[Heisenberg007]

New strategy: they will kill Sony with kindness. Smother them with love and exclusive games until Sony backs off and quits the industry!

 

[Doom85]

Plot twist. They went and spent themselves out of business on accident.

Phil Spencer: With our infinite wealth, we’ve constructed an indestructible weapon that will annihilate the competition! Targeting Sony! I’m firing the laser cannon!
Sarah Bond: …Phil, that was the self destruct button.

[LordCBH]

Sounds like they spent themselves out of the console business instead.

 

[SimTourist]

Guess bootyboy spent himself out of business.

Yep. Ended up eating more than they could chew. Had to throw up everything.

Are Microsoft and my dog the same person?

 

[Borowski_1]

How did that go?

Now this is a thread that just looks so much better today.

 

[FunkMiller]

Golden necrobumps! Golden necrobumps for all!!

More like shit the bed!

 

[Salz01]

How Booty and Spencer are still employed at Microsoft is beyond me.

This is a cocky view point and honestly is reckless. I actually view it as a disservice to the customer/ gamer. Buying every dev on the planet doesnt mean you can lead them to put out good games.

Which is why it is being richly rewarded!

 

[kyussman]

How is this statement,in relation to the current rumours,going to result in PlayStation going out of business......I gotta tell ya,I'm confused as fuck,lol.

 

[F0rneus]

Pls

 

[Maddoxswe]

Pls

Well i tried

 

[Ar¢tos]

Toilets don't clean themselves. They'll always have a job there if they want to keep working for MS.

 

[jm89]

You just know booty got sidelined in the discussions on going multiplat.

Dude was probably throwing chairs in his office when he heard.

I'm dying here

 

[Dazraell]

[Papa_Wisdom]

My gold runs out on a couple of days. Am well looking forwards to seeing my targeted ads again. Hope no one stops that from happening *cough*

 

[SJRB]

I swear to god David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin should make a movie about the hubris and subsequent collapse of Xbox.

 

[Raonak]

Ya know. There now exists a possible world where sony pays for halo timed exclusivity for PS5

Fincher already did......Panic Room,lol.

It's Gamepass that failed. I still think Microsoft likes the acquisition of ABK and Zenimax. They believe gaming will grow in the near future with growth from cloud and AI. They are just a massive publisher now

 

[LordCBH]

I can picture it now. A Halo title announced during a PS Showcase lol

 

[Josemayuste]

At this point I think Microsoft management could be a nice plot point for the next GTA.

 

[The Pleasure]

Well, the booties are both full of shit.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

With Microsofts luck in gaming, Even if they are full 3rd party Call of Duty will probably start to see a massive decline.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

What a shitty and unrealistic take......then i look at the last name of the person who said it, and it all makes sense.

 

[Raonak]

Halo reboot.
Developed by Bungie.
PS5/PC

 

[mckmas8808]

Tasty LOL! I'm incredible that any executive at MS would be this shortsighted and think it was possible to spend Sony's Playstation out of business.

 

[mckmas8808]

This thread aged like fine wine.

This meme will go over everybody's head. But it's so true. You don't spend $80 Billion over 3 years, just to make everything exclusive AND also have GamePass. Those purchases were the tell. WE tried to tell yall. And to be fair to MS, they also said so in the FTC court cases. They said it UNDER OATH!!!

 

[Metnut]

Xbox division kind of reminds me of a teenager with a rich daddy who spends a lot to show off and talks trash about how he can buy/do whatever he wants. At some point, daddy sees the reckless spending and cuts it off ( after all, daddy didn’t get rich by wasting money) and spoiled teen and his posse have a temper tantrum.

God willing.

 

[JordiENP]

There was another one about taking over Nintendo or something right?

 

[SF Kosmo]

People are celebrating way too soon. MS putting out some two year old titles on PS the way Sony does with their PC ports is not quite the end of MS as a platform holder that people act like.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Yes, a career moment for Papa Phil.

SF Kosmo

If the rumors were just about games released two years ago, you might have a point. The smoke trail is large enough that even The Village Idiot can make 2 times itself equal 4.
