Lol, wow. Might be tough to find someone in this day and age that understands the reality of production and shipment of a product less than you seem to. Unless you own a factory, you cannot just turn them on and off as you need to to meet demand. These contracts are signed far in advance and very rarely do these…

The point about anticipation is addressed in the interview. No one predicted that the Switch would be this crazy out of the gate, including analysts. Nintendo pumping out a gajillion units right out of the gate wouldn’t have just been arrogant after the complete commercial failure of the Wii U, it would have been…

Uh... What? Switches remain limited due to demand, not supply. Nintendo promised 2 million at launch, then paid for express shipping and sent out 2.8 million instead and STILL sold out within hours. They’ve been shipping enough units to top the charts every month since then. You can’t anticipate unprecedented demand…

No, you couldn’t. The PS4 exists to play Sony’s GAMES. The PS4 currently represents the go to box to play all the third party greats AND a suite of excellent first party options. Xbox is where you go if you actively want a smaller, markedly worse selection of games but a smug sense of satisfaction that your online…

Yep, coming from someone who clearly hasn’t played Arms and is completely ignoring the incredibly positive buzz from E3 for the Rabbids game. I’m absolutely certain your opinion matters. I’m not sure if I’ll be into Rabbids either, but if Shigeru-fucking-Miyamoto shows up for it (Wii Music not withstanding), it at…

Wasn’t sure which one of the trolls to reply to so I didn’t bother. It’s a sequel to a game in 2017:

“No additional major exclusive until Super Mario Odyssey in October, which is the only other big exclusive this year”

“No additional major exclusive until Super Mario Odyssey in October, which is the only other big exclusive this year”

Could not disagree more. I don’t think a modern console has ever had a more perfect release cadence than the Nintendo Switch. On average, every six weeks, we’ve gotten a big, Nintendo-published game that could easily have 100 hours poured into it. And that doesn’t let up until, unless unforeseen delays occur, at least…

Story??? This is a game in which the heroes, villains and characters that don’t belong to either faction (and a few that belong to both, I guess?) work together to save/steal a truck for some reason from another group of heroes and villains who are also working together for the goal of the same truck for equally no…

I’m truly looking forward to getting to that part of the game when any of this actually happens. How many stupid trucks do I have to save on a team that consists of Widowmaker, Tracer, Junkrat and Soldier for some reason before any of this irrelevant gameplay opens up to some of this interesting world?

It’s a game in which every character can play on a team with one another and, no matter what their backstory is, their only goal is to get a truck from point A to point B. There isn’t even a single player mode in which any of this garbage matters. If Blizzard cared to make a world with heroes, villains and…

And I’m absolutely certain that, since he’s so vile and evil, that he can only be on teams with other villains and all this irrelevant, BS lore that people pretend is even remotely important to this game will actually start to matter.

Completely agreed. At very least, 9 is the crown jewel of 3d Final Fantasy. Arguments could be made about best FF overall, but that’s a different discussion.

Didn’t release with a Mario game is a killable offense now? The best Legend of Zelda game ever doesn’t do it for you?

Even in Utah I’d kill the Xbox One X. Microsoft is desperately trying to suffocate it; won’t someone please put it out of it’s misery?

Yeah, but with all that stuff on top that I mentioned about variable pay despite previously agreed upon rates, PayPal shenanigans and competition on literally a whole other level. It’s like being an only moderately talented musician in a world where all it takes to be a musician is a webcam, a dream and an internet…

I was going to spend a few minutes trying to come up with a clever, retail themed metaphor for why that retail job is a MUCH better decision than attempting to do the twitch/YouTube thing for a living, but honestly, the latter is such a silly, poorly thought out choice that there is no living equivalent other than…

No. Wrong. Stop it. Windows in an OS. Microsoft makes $0 when you buy a game on Steam. The Windows store, that thing that gets maligned every time there’s a game exclusive to it, is their platform and all games sold on THAT earns MS money. MS has MUCH more to gain supporting Xbox than PC unless they edge Valve out…

But see, that’s not how exclusives work. An exclusive is supposed to give you a reason to buy one platform or another. Microsoft does not benefit in any way from you being a PC gamer; Valve will most likely get royalties from most of those games. Even if you build a new PC to play them, you’ll likely use your existing…

Non-essential is the marketing buzzword they should’ve used throughout their presentation. XOX? Non-essential. Want to play Sea of Thieves? Don’t need an Xbox! Want to play Forza? Don’t need an Xbox! Want to play Forza in super duper HD? Oh wait, still don’t need an Xbox. How bout all these “Exclusive*****” games! Oh…
