Jez talks about the steam deck as if it has sold as much as the switch
Jez is making the point that Xbox should turn into Pc just like Steam deck. So console war is done we all put our swords down and go home.
Rand has always been a kill joy
CGI is good in fallout tv show, disagree with rand
03:07:16 can AI just upscale and remaster, old games. Lol I think he answered it as I was typing this.
Why is Rand stretching out this notion of getting a camera and being on camera. He literally lied to everyone to boost up his subscriber amount and doesn’t bother to deliver what he promised. Then he talks about not trying to hype it up. Bro the longer you go on like this the more you are hyping it up 🙄
How would I remember this gen if it ended today …Hogwarts and Ragnarok on PS5 and Elden Ring and Halo Infinite Multi-player and Starfield on Series X are the games I had the most fun with personally played a lot of damn games this gen too just way too many lol
It was definitely Mike Ybarra , heard he was just like Bobby
I hate to say it but could Rand have the courtesy and the patience to not eat and podcast at the same time? It's really annoying listening to someone talk while they chew. Do you really have to eat while you podcast, really? Couldn't grab something before or wait after? Really?
Net ease in the past few years opened up ten or so new AAA studios which is likely why MS signed the deal to get Netease games.
what is the game being played in the video?
Jez can spin anything. Steam on the console is terrible idea.
I think its funny that when people talk about what xbox is wanting to do, they describe the steam box. But they act like it could work and the steam box didn't totally fail.
Xbox would literally be turning xbox players into PC player/Steam, making its console niche and a glorified steam box. One thing that xbox has failed to realize, is that they dont choose if they are still a console manufacturer, the market/players decide. Xbox is gambling their unique position for short term profit. something that ouya, stadia, epic, luna etcc failed or are having a hard time getting support.
But lets see how this plays out for them.
If a PC player wants to upgrade without spending thousands of dollars, an NextBox would look mighty compelling at a fraction of the price and with a much better user experience on offer. I doubt such users would necessarily buy all their stuff there thru the Steam option simply bc the Xbox version will have tie ins to that box and its ecosystem that are front and center in the user's face. Especially when many of these major games are marketed all over the dashboard as being in Game Pass.
Even if only 10% of these PC users on the NextBox buy games via the Xbox store, that is that many more players than Xbox would get otherwise using their store. Existing Xbox console users will mostly migrate to the NextBox as is. Any that were tempted to jump to PC will likely get caught by this new box instead. Sames goes for PSX gamers looking to move to PC.
Rand can’t use the mute button, the food packaging crinkles were at ten, he’s never going to be able to set up a camera 😂, Jez please tell him about the mute button let’s start there…
Rather than Xbox make the showcase a one-day 2hr thing, why don't they just stretch it out to a two or 3-day event?
Gotta love dudes who get screeners early saying week to week better, don't watch early then lol.
Jez continues to reach with these hypothetical scenarios that would make a Steam Box version of Xbox viable.
You aren't bringing in NEW customers or growing "the business" by creating a Steam Box competitor. You're simply reaching for more revenue as you see the console side of your business diminishing, & the sub service side stagnating.
If they aren't selling games through their ecosystem & are no longer getting subs because people are buying from STEAM and expecting free online. Then how does this bring more customers to the ecosystem?
In what way would MS be getting a kickback from STEAM & EPIC? 🤔 All those titles aren't Xbox games, nor do Xbox titles sell significantly on those platforms. How would MS make money from all those 3rd party & Sony 1st party titles on STEAM?… They simply wouldn't.
Why would anyone choose the Xbox/ MS store over STEAM? 🤔
Jez's assertions aren't supported by our current reality or gamers habits. It also requires a complete reworking of STEAM & EGS's policies to work.
Rand is such a troll about his binge model lol
He’s also very wrong! Week to week is much better
Jez says Sonys strategy isn’t working but Xbox’s is surely worse. Inflation is the main thing hurting PS
WTF are Jez and Rand talking about tipping studios? If you want, just purchase a second copy of the game and give it away or “burn” the code.
What book series is Rand talking about?
COVID derailed one platform. Also Sony’s pivot is due to them chasing those margins they had during the pandemic, just like most companies in all industries are doing. That doesn’t mean they are struggling. Just go look at Sony’s profits now vs pre-2020. It’s the “greed” factor that is coming into play for all these companies. They were all getting fat with those high pandemic profit margins.
Jez get it the idea steam on xbox its very brilliant if this successful or okayish. I don't get it why rand didn't optimistic on steam on xbox. As someones who doesn't have consoles both ps/xbox. If xbox have steam on it, im definitely buying xbox for versatile device.
This idea of tipping publishers for games is stupid. I'm sorry…if you really like the game a lot, maybe buy it for a friend or something.
when it comes to weekly vs all at once the anime industry is a perfect example of doing weekly and create discussions and you know how they do that?
they put a comment section right under the episode…
whether you are going to one of the myriad of pirate sites or go to an official one like crunchyroll (or i guess THE official one now) we have collectively found out "hey comment sections are great" and that my friends it the biggest missteps done by most streaming services
wtf would you randomly talk about it on your social media page seen my people who haven't seen the episode then forgotten vs a dedicated space that can harbor discussions per episode years after release
I know I'm the outlier but I refuse to watch Fallout until it finishes as an entire show. The way all Hollywood shows go right now puts me right off. Plus the main actresses voice is nails on a chalk board. For example look at how trash Westworld quickly became and GoT
I won‘t buy in into this „new Xbox“. 👎
Solar eclipse is the most beautiful thing I’ve EVER seen. Worth catching if you can. No joke
In MY GOODS BOOKS is the opposite to my shit list maybe ?
PC is prohibitively expensive for most people and less user-friendly than a console – you’re not wrong though, buying a beefy PC takes care of all your gaming needs (minus Nintendo).
Jez really contradicts himself a lot. Brings up Sony profit margins and than goes to say how Xbox has their highest REVENUE which doesn’t matter right compared to PROFIT MARGINS which Xbox compared to the other companies is not transparent.
So it’s now about selling the game and not the amount of players who “played” a game. So we can finally admit that the number of players that they always announce does not mean anything.
I look forward to Xbox actually stating how many copies a game has sold now that it is important to them according to Jez.
I figured it out the Xbox console will be a 3rd party box lol. And people don't want Xbox to copy Sony strategy, they just want Xbox to make good games like Sony games. And Xbox always report all the revenue….whats the profit margins ? If the business so we'll why is Xbox games on PlayStation. Seem strange
Avatar 2 is THE movie about people not listening to each other. If anyone would've listened…just once, the movie would've been over in 20 mins.
The whole plot is circling around people doing the opposite of what they were told. It drove me almost crazy.😆
So the Phil saying the future of Xbox is a steam box . Cause who buying from ms store if steam on Xbox .
