"Make love not console wars..."

Microsoft shares a message of love in a recent tweet calling into question the need for the console wars...

Is microsoft right? What are still fighting for system warrior?

Yeah somehow I don't think the children that feed the console wars are going to heed that request.

They're only doing this because they know they cannot win. If we were during the 360 prime days, you can bet your ass MS would be pooping on the other two and constantly reminding everyone that they have the most powerful console in the world.

When is Playstation going to let some of their characters join Smash Bros. It's been a pretty cool video game party over here hanging out with Nintendo and Sega and Xbox characters like Steve

They know they can't compete so they want to become the Netflix of gaming I guess.

It's not going to be the prevailing thought, but I welcome the idea of more unity.

Reasons:

#1: life is short. Buy what you want, play what you want. Really what matters is that you enjoy your console and the games on it.

#2: time spent online arguing ALWAYS be better spent.

#3: as you get older, there's already enough pressure against gamers. People think it's just for kids, that you shouldn't have the time etc. In a way, regardless of the console purchased, we are all on the same team enjoying a hobby that we enjoy.

That being said, I went through a phase in my life (early teens) when I defended my console with honour, so I guess going thorugh that stage is part of life.

They want unity because they plan to dominate. Folks are willfully blind to their longterm strategy.

1-Power hasn't win 1 gen.

2-NO.

3-🤣🤣🤣

4- The most EXPENSIVE service with very few games is a better description.

And they can buy half the market and still lose how sad is that.

@bluestars: But Xbox has been in last place every single gen in both games and sales :/

I predict a last place in games and last place in sales for the 4th generation in a row for MS.

I mean, the console wars has always been really dumb. This is the first time in years where it feels like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are all going to be relatively successful, creating really fun experiences.

I’m excited to see how the industry grows going forward with three players on the marketing who are successful, there’s never been a better time to play games than now.

Sony is in big trouble. They don't have anything like game pass, that is going to be a huge system seller. Microsoft is smart...why abandon their library of older games, just clean them up, wrap it up in a nice bow and serve them up in a subscription service. I for one am excited to play through the master chief collection again once my xbox ships.

Microsoft are the shit these days to be honest (except Aaron Greenburg). What a turnaround from their late 00's / early 10's attitudes.

I hope Alpha Dog Jim goes for the jugular and shows soy boy Philly who the king of the gaming industry is.

Do you genuinely believe the bullsh*t that comes out of your mouth? Wow.

Sad thing is you probably do.

After the whole TLoU2 fiasco, Playstation fans seem to be suffering some form of identity crisis.
