"Is that the survey you didn't read?" ... ouch

 

[Kilau]

I think the judge wants to know why at the same price point, can't they be in the same competition? Because the FTC and Sony have said that Nintendo DOESN'T compete, however, with that same price point (not talking about hardware) they in essence ARE competing.

You can buy a tablet for less and it has games, some of the same games even. Competing in the same market?

 

[mckmas8808]

she knows very little, even called it xpass and im not sure whether she meant xbox or gamepass lol

Oh boy lol!!!! I'm not feeling good about this. I think MS will beat the FTC on this injunction.

 

[splattered]

I'm realizing through this case how much disrespect everyone has for Nintendo now. Like they are some kind of red-headed hated step child.

Yeah it's pretty crazy... everyone loves Nintendo until you speak their name in court hahah

the who "Nintendo doesn't compete" argument is bullshit considering that consumers don't set separate budget to buy games : one for home console and one for handleheld/hybrid

This whole thing reminds me if the long threads where people here hated how we compared sales of switch to ps4 and then ps2.

Judge: Is that the survey you didnt read??

 

[Topher]

That's what I've been saying. FTC ain't gotta chance here.

 

[tmlDan]

you know whats wild, i think this guy is actually doing the best at explaining gaming to the judge for her to understand the industry a bit more

 

[adamsapple]

Judge: Is that the survey you didnt read??

holy shit, judge ain't forgetting that transgression.

 

[splattered]

OMG this is getting brutal... he is TOAST.

 

[dibella360]

Yeah it's pretty crazy... everyone loves Nintendo until you speak their name in court hahah

What is going to be funny is if Nintendo goes on a buying spree.... nothing will stop them since they are not competing with anyone.

 

[Aguero9320]

That's what I've been saying. FTC ain't gotta chance here.

Because the judge is an 'idiot'? Not because the case is weak? Or at least poorly articulated?

 

[tryDEATH]

He getting roasted by the Judge lmfao.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Judge: Is that the survey you didnt read??

Ok, this is just hilarious.

 

[mckmas8808]

That's what I've been saying. FTC ain't gotta chance here.

I disagreed with you after day one, but after seeing how they are talking about the gaming industry it's clear to me that they just don't "GET IT". Hence why there will be no injunction.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Jim would die to get his hands on them.

 

[Topher]

Because the judge is an 'idiot'? Not because the case is weak? Or at least poorly articulated?

What are you talking about? I never called the judge an idiot.

 

[Aguero9320]

What are you talking about? I never called the judge an idiot.

Didn't say you did. Was asking why you think they have no chance?

 

[DeepEnigma]

[Vognerful]

How can you guys NOT understand that timed exclusives is different than buying a whole Publisher and banning all games from your main competitor?

Did you check what I was responding to or were you on auto "detect xbox shill mode"?

They guy said there was no proof that FFXVI will not release on xbox, I provided him the two evidences that we have.

They called Bloodborne 3p exclusive nothing to dispute here.

Using a source that lists Bloodborne as a 3rd party exclusive...
Ok....

PRovide alternative sources that claim otherwise and then we can hear your claim..............

 

[OverHeat]

Gif is getting old

 

[Corrik]

The judge has decided against the FTC. She is literally roasting their experts on the stand now.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Gif is getting old

Reductive hottakes are as well.

 

[Vognerful]

ok

Sure but it’s not helping

 

[HoofHearted]

They never had one…

I'm telling you. Nintendo is listening to this shit like

Has the Nintendo rep already testified today ? I didn't catch it from the start.

 

[Thirty7ven]

The idea that COD being Xbox exclusive would only sway 5% of the userbase in Xbox’s favor is certifiably insane. Would love to know just how manipulated the market analysis is on that.

You mean the paper you posted that got written by a ms lawyer with no clue about the industry.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Game Pass on the 360, da fuq?

 

[Topher]

Didn't say you did. Was asking why you think they have no chance?

That is a weird way to ask that. Anyway, I've said for a while now that the FTC would lose primarily because I can't see any scenario where an acquisition by a non-market leader would be blocked in the US.

 

[Corrik]

And judge just destroyed the cloud separate market idea. Game over

 

[Varteras]

Not that I know of but damn. Their name gets tossed around to make a convenient argument every day.

 

[Jigsaah]

[Barakov]

JFC. What a shit show.

 

[Vognerful]

You mean the paper you posted that got written by a ms lawyer with no clue about the industry.

bro,

give me one proof that FF XVI will release on xbox

I provided 2, the other guy provided nothing. and I am the one on the wrong here?!

 

[Godot25]

That Lee guy is even worse that FTC lawyer Friday in terms of helping FTC's case. And that's saying something

 

[FlyyGOD]

This guy is helping Microsoft more than he isn't.

 

[adamsapple]

Game Pass on the 360, da fuq?

oh my god, who said that ? the judge ?

 

[jm89]

And judge just destroyed the cloud separate market idea. Game over

Which quote?

Only one i see is this with sub service.

 

[Aguero9320]

The question mark indicated a question. But understood. It seemed you responded to someone else saying they were going to lose because the judge doesn't get the market, so seems I wrongly assumed you were agreeing with them...

I think the FTC has a better case than they are presenting. I still don't think they would be granted an injunction in the U.S. even if they did put their best foot forward though, so maybe they're just phoning it in.

 

[Darsxx82]

And judge just destroyed the cloud separate market idea. Game over

Yes. She's clearly not convinced that cloud gaming is a market on its own.

 

[Varteras]

Game Pass on the 360, da fuq?

Who the fuck said that?

 

[ckaneo]

They really brought this amateur

 

[Thirty7ven]

And judge just destroyed the cloud separate market idea. Game over

This judge that consistently shows to not understand the gaming market, doesn’t get to call that.

 

[Fabieter]

bro,

give me one proof that FF XVI will release on xbox

I provided 2, the other guy provided nothing. and I am the one on the wrong here?!

There is no prove for either outcome so I don't know what to tell you. If you think yours is a prove pls never work at a court.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Did you check what I was responding to or were you on auto "detect xbox shill mode"?

They guy said there was no proof that FFXVI will not release on xbox, I provided him the two evidences that we have.

So this timed exclusive is different from other timed exclusives because an unofficial listing, NOT from Sony or Square, that lists Bloodborne as a 3rd party exclusive says so?
This is your undeniable and irrefutable proof?

Sure Jan.
