Microsoft won, dude.
Activision is the evil corporation
cry
Microsoft is worse than Sony
In gaming industry? No way
Did you forget everything about the Xbox One?
Did you forget everything about the PS3?
>other os removal
>back compat parts removal
>psn hack
>dualshock lawsuit
What about the PS2?
>horizontal stand
>disc read error.
You know what I didn't forget? RRoD.
You clearly forget YRoD
>comparing stolen customer information stored in an unprotected text file to an issue covered under warranty
are you moronic?
>to an issue covered under warranty
>covered
please use google before making a fool of yourself, if you weren't underage you'd know about the 3 year extension
They had to make a new model to fix the problem at hand, dumbass.
>b-bu-but new model!
the issue was covered under warranty regardless, you dumb moron
if you knew anything about the 360, you'd know there were several chipset revisions prior to the smaller model
Them not doing anything to ruin competition and just failing on their own?
the 360 launch models failed at like 90% rate. and you got stuck in a cycle of continually sending it back to pajeetsoft so they could send you a broken console or a console that would break again in a fricking week until your warranty ran out. And then they said here buy this black one. it actually works.
It was the biggest disaster ever in gaming and somehow microsoft wasn't forever laughed out of gaming forever. Proving that Americans truly cannot get enough dick in their ass. they love dick in the ass so much they pain the white house in pride colors. God bless America, the great satan. Gaming cannot die fast enough.
>the 360 launch models failed at like 90% rate
literally a lie
Almost everyone I know who had a 360 got a RRoD. almost every single person. I lived in one of the most affluent whitest neighborhoods and almost every child got a 360 for their birthday or christmas that year. My brother bought one at college and I got one for christmas and they both fricking RRoD'd
What killed me was how a few years later every friend had the black model. It was basically a mandatory upgrade, The ultimate scam.
What's even funnier is the 360 is fricking trash now while the ps3 has retained or even gained value.
>He doesn't know about the Red Ring of Death.
I do, and still have working white 360 in my parents house
It wasn't 90% or even 50%
And if you actually were around back then, you would know that shit mostly happened to people who blocked air to console, one way or another
Bro how old are you? Like 12? If that happened to any other company they wouldn't exist right now. only MS with their deep pockets were able to survive while paying billions in lawsuits and repair services. It was even proven in court they knew about the issues before release but they wanted to one up Sony by releasing a year earlier.
even though the early model 360s failed like crazy, the platform actually had GAMES
my gen 1 elite still chuggin along. the disc drive is failing, but still trying its best. love that thing
What is worse than paying to play online? Something they introduced. not to mention Dlc. they were the firsts to release unfinished game to patch them on later and sell you Dlc.
both are the same right now, Sony sucks ass after charging for online multiplayer then killing japan studio and embracing moviegames
They saw Microsoft doing it first lol
>B-B-BUT MS D-D-DID IT T-T-TOO
Sony is the undisputed market leader you stupid homosexual, they don't have to imitate anyone
>Sony is the undisputed market leader
No it's not lmao, PC and Nintendo rule the market.
Did you even touch a japan studio game post ps2, they were more awful than not, incredibly inconsistent in quality
>they cope
still better than typical moviegame
>t. Knack apologist
TBF at least Sony killed something it created. Microsoft purchases stablished studios and runs them into the ground.
I don't much care for Activision Blizzard but if I were a fan I wouldn't see this as a net win for me.
SnoyBlack folks are so fricking stupid
This is completely false. The only console generation where Sony wasn't the villain was the PS1.
Even then, Snoy did most of the dirty business tactics that they do today in order to Ensure most third party titles remained exclusive to their console, effectively killing Sega and leaving Nintendo on life support, and back then, Sony was the largest tech Company involved in videogames, so there was nothing the other two could do.
Sony always strived to win by eliminating the competition, they always went for monopoly (and they almost succeded during the PS2 era)
>effectively killing Sega
No, this one wasn't on Sony
EA refusing to release games on Dreamcast because sega refused them to be exclusive sports game publishers for it was way bigger hit. And Sega's situation as a whole was not so good
>EA refusing to release games on dreamcast
was a huge mistake for them down the line considering visual concepts (the sega sports team) ate their lunch in both football and basketball just a few years later
2k5 is still to this day the best 3d football game ever made
Sega was incompetent, but if You actually believe PlayStation's "mic drop" aggressive campaign wasn't a Big factor, then you're delusional.
Gamers remember PS as the Hero and Nintendo as the Bad guy, but if You actually read the kind of shit that Sony pulled in that generation, You would have a new perspective of things
Motherfricking wienersucker Sega executives THEMSELVES admitted that the fault was internal and had nothing to do with Sony. Don't spread fricking lies trying to defend a shitty company like MS
>Snoy d-did nothing wrong, S-sega killed themselves
Internal mismanagement aside, denying the influence of PlayStation on the death of Sega is delusional revisionism.
>trying to defend a shitty company like MS
And you're the one defending a Company that was proven in court to have partnered with an institutional organism that is supposed to protect customers, honestly, the FTC as a whole should be sued for corruption.
You're the one defending a company convicted in federal court of anti competitive tactics. The other company is Sony. The FTC brought up Sony because MS focused their marketing on Sony, discussed driving Sony out of business, essentially focused all of their efforts of undermining Sony. The FTC wasn't arguing on their behalf but using Sony as an argument to showcase MS wasn't acting in good faith
>Billion dollar company acting in good faith
This is what I don't get with everyone defending M$. They gotta be al born after the first Xbox because Microsoft was THE company to make fun of for unfair competition and buying out rivals.
Im 30 years old and Ive been around since Bill Gates was around for MS and I support the deal because it's pro consumer and good for the industry. Ballmer stopped being the CEO of MS, there's no reason to hate them anymore.
Nintendo became persona non grata during the PS1 gen with their strong arming from the SNES and NES generation. You motherfrickers are trying to rewrite history at this point.
And Playstation, behind the scenes, tricked Nintendo into a "partnership" we're the later had everything to lose, effectively forcing them out of the deal, and using the knowledge adquired to enter the industry and gain favor of third parties.
Nobody was the "good guy" that generation, but you gays keep applying revisionism as well.
>tricked
Nintendo asked Sony to make them a CD based console then pulled out when Sony asked for their dair share
>tricked Nintendo
lol. reminder that they signed the same deal with Panasonic and it didn't end with Nintendo losing their IPs like you tendies like to lie about(but it did result in the cringiest zelda ever made lol).
That was the Phillips CD-i. Panasonic put out the 3DO that was slightly more successful but still flopped.
>Nintendo became persona non grata during the PS1 gen
Not entirely true
PS was popular, and flocked to it + Sony bribed others.
But Capcom for example never dropped support for Nintendo and made games for both, even when Sony started banning megaman as revenge
So was Enix
And by the time of Nintendo ds, even Square who famously burned all bridges with Nintendo and openly mocked "gimmickly dual screen" came crawling back
Why do you stupid motherfrickers keep pushing this bullshit narrative when MS already admitted in court that they block games too? And Sony did not kill Sega, Sega killed themselves with their own incompetence.
Id say PS2 as well since one was M$ getting a foothold and the other was Nintendo drinking liquid soap. Not much evil doing to be had here to win really.
sony bought their way with monopoly for +20 years, let's not even mention the whole hardware problem
>Microsoft is worse than Sony
They've both hurt the industry in their own ways, right now, Sony is doing more harm than MS. They're is only slightly worse because they've deluded the entire industry into thinking movie games are "premium" products and turned the entire industry into FOMOgays with their timed exclusivity.
That's a stupid fricking reason to claim Sony is worse and you know it. Microsoft is actively consolidating and all you can do is say Sony makes movie games and pretend that's actually worse
This is correct. Infinitely so. How people can cheer for and support Bill Gates is something I will never understand.
>Microsoft is worse than Sony
Microsoft is worse than Sony OVERALL.
In the gaming industry it's from more evil to lesser evil: Nintendo > PlayStation > Xbox
delusional
Sony is worse than M$ when it comes to vidya. Their complacency and arrogance lead to some bewildering shit thats straight up harmful. M$ at its worse is just incredibly incompetent.
Nintendo for all their faults, are infact better than those 2 hilariously enough.
it's just showing america has always been evil
>buying a company that has produced nothing but troonshit and bottom of the barrel slop for the past years
But why?
It's for the mobile games
You know how much money KING makes by itself? I'm talking billions here
haha that pic in OP, this time last year Snoys were saying ‘in your dreams Xjeet!’, LMAO I just walked down the street to take a shit and saw so many PS5 consoles in the trash, people throwing them away!!!
>Microsoft did nothing about Zenimax.
Yeah, ok.
you guys don't get it at all. america always destroys ANY japanese industry when they think it does better than their own counterpart. it has happened many times.
I am incredibly moronic in matters of law and live under a rock, can i get a quick rundown and a food analogy please?
They're going to make Prototype 3 and give to the people who made Crackdown 3 aren't they?
Maybe but don't act like Prototype 3 would even exist otherwise
they should make a real prototype 2 and retcon the abortion we got
also remaster metal arms assuming they still own the IP, the source code is out there so it's not like it can't be done
Can you guys give me some ways in which Microsoft can further ruin Diablo, Starcraft, and Crash?
By simply letting the devs in charge of them continue to be in charge of them. Who is crash team rumble made for?
By not taking a charge and let developers do whatever they want
I'll never forgive s*ny.
how the frick is activation-blizzard so big yet they only make cod? Diablo has meme popularity but no one actually likes it. Ow is dead. Wow is in a continual decline. What do those multiple buildings full of 1000's of employees do all fricking day? they somehow make no games and when they do they're shit.
Crash? Starcraft? who fricking cares What the frick does King even make?
This company will fit right in at xbox.
HNGGGHH PROFITS
>Microsoft is being seen as an underdog
>Multibillion dollar corporation that makes it money in software for computers and not video games
>Them buying up a massive developer with a large customer base to deny access to titles their competitors once had access to is seen as fair and balanced thing because they're not the top dog in the gaming scene
What a fricking time to be alive when idiots are actually supporting monopoly level bullshit.
Dunno
Sony is top 10 corporation(was top3 when entered market) and no one saw problem with them bribing, threatening and forcing 3rd party to develop games for their consoles for 30 years straight
And some cultists even saw them as underdogs against evil nintendo(who only has video games), sega and microsoft(who surprisingly was way more honest and fair in their tactics)
Please frick off with your bullshit. When Sony entered the industry studios flocked to them because they took less royalties than Nintendo, gave them fewer restrictions compared to Nintendo, and were using the CD format which was cheaper than cartridges which Nintendo were still using. Don't spread lies as fact.
>Don't spread lies as fact.
>forcing 3rd party to develop games for their consoles for 30 years straight
No they didn't. People left Nintendo for Sony because they were pushing CDs and more multimedia stuff with their consoles which developers were looking for as PCs were showing that CDs and 3D was the future of gaming.
>yellow light of death was as widespread as red ring one
>but sonygays never mention it, just saying that slim model didn't had it so everything is fine
Irony
*sips*
Yep, one step closer to everything being owned by these guys.
>first letter from each name
>gafam
>gay family
you can't make this shit up
The next console generation is going to be very, very interesting. Microsoft would be leaving billions on the table if they did not lay down the law and tell all the devs they're going exclusive with Microsoft Consoles.
Micrsoft cum garglers always forget that the boot they kiss were the ones who were convicted in federal court for anti competitive practices but Sony are the bad ones because they make games they don't like. Cognitive dissonance
microsoft didn't kill michael jackson over music rights, anon
>Sony are the bad ones because they make games they don't like.
If that's your take out of the entire FTC trial fiasco, then you're probably the biggest cum gargler in the entire thread, Snoy.
>They didn't to court so they're innocent of being anti competitive
Solid logic there, anon.
I am surprised so many people bought the PS5. Their first party games suck, and always have. It has no media features. Since I am not poor I have an entertainment center and nice TV, and it streamlines everything. Owning a PS5 would just kneecap my living room. This is why the XBS is better, because we aren't poor and have a higher quality of life. Japs don't see this and make a console made for tiny Japanese paper houses with 4 generations crammed into them.
With the xbox you know you are getting a strong sturdy american made product, and not some cheap plastic from japan. I think people need to accept that they made a huge mistake being poor, not American, and going with the cheaper console.
>Sony killed Sega
>When Sega is the one that actually wanted Sony to die
>Sega wanted third biggest corporation in the world back in the day to die
Sonygays are moronic...
With that logic, wanting Microsoft to die is perfectly fine.
>ITT: Snoy shills coping and claiming sony are the good guys, actually, despite being the most rabid anti-consumer company in gaming
hope you fricking have a nice day, you're why gaming has gone downhill
The only way gaming gets good again is a total market failure.
I was just thinking, who is worse, Bill Gates or Hitler?
Both are responsible for the deaths of millions. But who did more damage? It's hard to say, but currently Hitler and Bill Gates are the 1 and 2 most evil people in history. Time will tell who takes the top spot.
based
there is still a chance for ftc to win an emergency injunction by end of this week.
it's not over yet until its done, xroaches
It's easy to tell you're the huezillian snoy homosexual running on emergency cope.
Microsoft has shown it can't manage game studios effectively, but I don't really care either way
hey americans, aren't you ashamed?
ok so is cod going back to pre black ops 3 then? No? Whatever then, we're probably going to keep getting the same shitty shit.
NEVER FORGET
