Lol, at least the PS5 is designed to be placed both vertically and horizontally. The XSX is not, and they probably realized this and therefore removed the tweet. Hilarious for all the wrong reasons, and most of all, pathetic.

Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.

That's some good quote right there. However in this context, it probably means just Nintendo.

What's funny is how lazy it looks when they are trying to brag. You turn it on its side but the rubber stand for the vertical position is still sitting there, now exposed and blocking nearly the entire bottom air intake area. It LOOKS like it's in the wrong position, even if you prefer it to be that way. How is that good design? The PS5 crushes the xbox in terms of the horizontal vs vertical design choice. It's an elegant solution, masterfully engineered and executed. MS, you literally topple it over to put it into another position. It's absurd and lazy.

Now that I've seen the PS5 up close and personal, the design is incredibly striking and the horizontal/vertical considerations made are masterfully done. I always support companies being human in their social media posts, but I think they've lost this one haha!

This shit is funny, you claim to deal with a joke. But sound bitter/still salty about the game share disc's fiasco. Y'all care about his shit way too much lmao.

 

[FrankWza]

I’m just realizing that the series x has a permanent vertical stand that stays there even when it’s horizontal. Is that right?

Nah, trust me we good bro on that..EEEESPECIALLY now. How that recent 7 billion that was dropped taste tho?

On the real and jokes aside I only troll the trollers back, you know the Lunatics, delusional ones. I love to give some of that same flavor back.

I got love for both brands, always did. Picking up Day 1 both consoles since PS360 era.

For making fun of people like this? Im proud

Today I learned Americans go to convention centres wearing Xbox t shirts, doing an Xbox sign in sync to general Phil Spencer.

Its bizarre.

Looks like a fridge that tipped over.

 

[megreotsugua]

Xbox uk has done this a lot, idk why they deleted this one specific tweet.

Because it eventually backfired.

Poor them, they can't get a break.

 

[megreotsugua]

I quite like the XSX design, but on its side it looks awful. Like it fell over and isn't supposed to be in that orientation.

Who did it better?!

 

[DForce]

Xbox official twitter accounts always talk about ending console wars but fuel the flames with tweets like this.

 

[RoadHazard]

Who did it better?!

PS5 looks so much better horizontally than the XSX. Vertically I'm more undecided.

But also, what the hell are those awesome white Joycon with colored buttons?

 

[acm2000]

Who did it better?!

neither? ps5 is awful from all angles, series x looks ok stood up but crap laying down, series s just looks like a toy

 

[anothertech]

Still so, so salty

7 years and they still trying to hit back lolol.

This just looks like a failed whiff from a sore loser , which is why they removed it so fast. But we see you MS.

Dam Craig must have really open the emo floodgates again

Neither of the two in that famous video were ceo's of anything.

And it doesn't change the fact that 7 years later the xbox division is still salty from the consecuences of that 21 second video to the point that in the leading PR push to launch this has been the second or third time they've attempted a reversal of sorts, albeit unsuccesfully.

Yeah that sharing PS4 games video was fuuuucking glorious. Just the way the video transitions and presentation style made it look as though it would be a long detailed video. It was such a good troll.

I think if Xbox were going to return the favour (as is their right to do) they should've tried to copy the Playstation video flow and it would've actually got a few laughs from people. Instead the two photos side by side on a Twitter post just comes across as low effort.

The one that doesn't look like it has a pop filter permanently attached to it's base.
