Well they should tell that to their bosses who keep following and interacting with the worst, most toxic fanboys out there.

Oh Xbox, it's like the guy who starts the fight but then realizes they're losing and is like "hey now c'mon, it's not that serious, let's chill".

Post a Greenberg tweet instead, what you've posted is benign as fuck

Immature console warring saying "my console is better than your console" is stupid, but I think there is still some justification for someone being upset or pissed when something becomes exclusive to another platform, or another platform gets poor support.
Gaming is an expensive hobby, and with that some people have to make their decision with consideration on which platform they're going to back and focus on. They want their purchase to feel justified, and to feel good that they made the right choice. If the someone bought a PS5 because they were excited and anticipating something like Starfield for example, and then Microsoft goes and buys the company and makes it exclusive to Xbox, that PS5 owner has a right to be upset I think. Vice versa is true as well if that happens, like when Sony buys up exclusivity on games that would play just fine on Xbox.
Just my two cents anyway. I'm one of those insane people who has all the consoles so I have all the options available to me.

So no more cozying up to Colt, Tom Warren, Klobrille, etc etc, and the plethora of other console warring influences armies you have, right MS?
Didn't think so. Lead by example.

What's the point of that tweet?
Pretty bizarre.
The whole Microsoft executive leadership being interviewed under oath really revealed just how much of a console warrior they all are, tbh.

As the intern posted that, Phil Spencer was meeting with several higher ups to discuss if they should buy Sega or Capcom

The first real console war I can remember started in 1991 when the SNES launched in NA. Mainly due to Sega of America’s brilliant marketing that wheat right at Nintendo.

My console (SNES) won the real war. It killed the Sega Genesis. It took the crown while you hid under Redmond Rock.

As an owner of both at the time, Genesis just felt like it had more "soul."My console (SNES) won the real war. It killed the Sega Genesis. It took the crown while you hid under Redmond Rock.
Even tho I recognized some of the better graphics on the SNES.

Someone with Twitter tell this dildo that FH, as good as it is, didn't invent the open world racer.

I'll never understand people wanting consoles to "win". We need healthy competition in this space to keep everyone honest and get us - the customer - the best deals the market can provide. When Microsoft thought they'd "won", that's when they dreamt up the Xbone's DRM non-sense. When Sony thought they'd "won", that's when we got the PS3 - and I'd argue Ryan thinks he's won today, so we're getting unjustifiable price increases. Competition is a good thing.This fanboy is dying to see PlayStation losing to Xbox

From the point of view of an Xbox gamer, you can find yourself waring when you don't have an issue with PlayStation or Nintendo.
Xbox has been shit on for a number of years, mostly due to MSs own inept decisions, about not having any games, not having certain types of games, and so on.
At a point you get sick of the constant snide remarks and shit takes and you start to try and defend the console.
This normally happens by showing examples of hypocrisy and issues that the other side are over looking about their own console.
This of course, leads to a rebuttal, and the next thing you know you have two weeks off from GAF to play Starfield lol.
However, things are pretty damm good on this side of the console space. We have a constant pipeline of quality first party exclusives coming down through the years, and if the CMA pass the deal, there will be an additional stream of Activision exclusives in the future as well.
The people throwing shit at Xbox are now doing it without the smile.

Why is your identity tied to which plastic box you decided to buy though? And continuing to do it even when they are doing terribly by your own admission?
I’ll just never get it.

Stop the console war, GAF
So cute, a megacorp trying to appear human. So they are going to roll back their purchase of Bethesda and Starfield/ES6 exclusivity?
