I mean since the money to be made is with games why not go in and build a technological advanced system where the loss is split between the 2. This thing could be cutting edge.

Why are people trying to lump Sony in with everything Xbox is doing?

Why must this always happen? Shades of always online DRM again, only for Sony to release the briefest of clap-backs that shut everyone up and drove the nail in the coffin.

Sony have their problems, but those are very different problems to the one Xbox is facing right now.

sony would laugh at thirs

[Cert.in.Death]

Consoles are on their way out. The future is handheld, cloud, and dedicated PC.

Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo, but got laughed out of the room

Specifically, the Xbox was unveiled at CES in 2001 — to commemorate that launch, Bloomberg has published an in-depth oral history of how the console came to be. It’s a fascinating read, but one particular passage stands out: details on Microsoft’s efforts to secure games for the brand-new...

PC is the platform if you want cutting edge hardware

All the frames baby

 

[lh032]

that would be cool on paper, but how do you split the profits?

 

[drganon]

Short answer, no.
Long answer, nooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[MrTired]

They are it's called the PS6 it comes with PlayStation and all of Xbox releases day and date.

 

[plip.plop]

I believe that the first of the big 3 to go 3rd party will end up being the most dominant in the video game space. They can create a controller that will be made specifically for their games will only add to their profit margins. Sony and Nintendo an MS make very unique first-party games. They all scratch an itch.
Sony = cinematic 3rd person adventures
Nintendo = family-friendly, easy access fun
MS = Hardcore FPS
All three of these companies bring something to the table, even if it is not your thing majority of the consumer base love it.
Consoles tried so hard to make themselves different but the reality is they concentrated on genres when the PC can do it all and so much better.

 

[demigod]

Sure, team up with the loser. BRILLIANT IDEA.

 

[DavidGzz]

Rat and Snakes joining as one? Ass of can whoopin' or whatever his name is would commit seppuku

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

 

[kiphalfton]

The only cool thing about that would be them calling it the PSX.

other than that, why would Sony lower themselves to that level?

 

[bitbydeath]

 

[Killjoy-NL]

No, MS would drag Sony down with them.

 

[IAmRei]

No, although, we dont know in the future...

Anyway, maybe Nintendo Playstation in another universe, might existed

 

[Crayon]

No, MS would drag Sony down with them.

Nah Sony would still beat them somehow.

 

[LectureMaster]

Jeez, people are crazy today or what, all kinds of ludicrous takes all over the place.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Nah Sony would still beat them somehow.

True.

Sony would probably make Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond and Matt Booty sit in a corner during business meetings.

 

[Bartski]

Should create a joint yes

 

[crackajack]

In theory interesting, possibly very hard to figure out a fair deal and probably a terrible outcome for consumers missing this competition. Switch eg shows already that outdated hw can be charged quite much if there is just no other real option. 10" tablets probably challenge a Switch in power and display and adding any official console controller will still come out cheaper than a Switch. Not even talking about the even cheaper China brands that may or may not be of lesser quality.
PC is already in bonkers in price, consoles were relatively low since both kept each other in check.

This Xbox podcast did some irredeemable brain damage to some people.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

They must join forces with the original king of consoles Atari.

The Atari Xbox 2600 complete with

This Xbox podcast did some irredeemable brain damage to some people.

The damage was already there, it just made them post more often.

 

[Sintoid]

And call it PC?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

How would it be cutting edge? They will aim to build the best in class system at the given point in time, ensuring that it delivers value to the consumer and keeping costs reasonable.

Also, they are working against each other here, why in the fuck would they build and release games together?

Have you been huffing glue? The more I type, the more retarded this thread becomes.

 

[Gaelyon]

The Playbox ! featuring 1st party games such as Stellar Field, Halo : Ragnarök, and Forza Horizon : Zero Dawn !

 

[Damigos]

No thanks, i want my competition

 

[Bernardougf]

Xbox should go third party and launch an enthusiastic superpowerfull box only and one streaming cheaper one.

Playstation should go with two SKU one normal like 499/599 ps5 and one powerfull and expensive one to compete with PC if they plan to go day 1 pc and dont loose installbase.

Nothing of this will happen btw

And sony has nothing to gain in joining forces with the last failing direct competitor..... now... if it was a NINTENDO SONY console!! Holy fucking balls

 

[Monokrom]

 

[Mephisto40]

It's called the Playstation 6

 

[kyussman]

Sure,and why not ask your wife if your girlfriend can come round for dinner while you're at it,lol.

 

[FunkMiller]

Yes OP. We want two massive corporations collaborating on a product that will destroy competition completely in the home console space.

Enjoy your $100 GaaS games with $50 microtransactions, and lazy fucking games development that we’ve all played a million times before.

Jesus titty fucking Christ on a tricycle.

 

[Quasicat]

Xbox and PlayStation will continue to push streaming as the infrastructure improves at the same time waiting for the old people to die off. I work around high school and middle school age kids and they stream from PSN, Game Pass, and GeForce Now all of the time.
I know people in their 40s saying they would drop gaming if it became streaming only, but the younger demographic has already started to embrace it for its convenience.

The final stage:

 

[Hudo]

Yes please. I want to see the meltdowns on here and on Twitter.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Microsoft would want too much of the pie and try to dominate Sony in the partnership i would imagine

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This is about as likely as a joint Israel and Palestine console

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

Why not team up with the Atari Jaguar? Or the NeoGeo? Why not get all the losers together?

The opening post is made by someone who genuinely believe Xbox has something to offer to Sony. In short, I doubt his mental capacity to reason.

 

[gamer82]

well it seems xbox wanted to cut sony off from games , i doubt thats going to happen anytime in the future. i'm sure sony is having a good day but for future maybe don't buy all these companies up and just focus on putting out great games. who cares if your first or second or third in the market as long as you have customers and games. how does that help anyone if you go out of bussiness. bring out some good single player sotre games this is the only genereation i havent been compelled to jump on xbox im just not seeing enough of stuff i enjoy as im not a huge multiplayer gamer.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Interesting idea.
And then, the day Sony is announcing it, MS will say they’re partnering with Nintendo instead.
