Based, Ive been trying to get a Series X for ages

>I can now buy an xbox
>this is supposed to be a bad thing

>supply becomes scarce
>demand goes up
>prices go up
>Sony: "Uhhhhh I'm not paying that"
>Microsoft: "Your loss bro"

That's not a monopoly, that's capitalism. That's literally how capitalism is supposed to work.

But that's a good thing?

>Buy more fabricator capacity from company
>Get more fabricator capacity from company
>Other company gets less fabricator capacity
>"REEEEEEEEEEE ANTI-TRUST PROBE WHEN RRRRREEEEEEEEE"
That's not how it works you fucking imbecile

It's not Microsoft's fault that Sony is so poor.

I like how this board is now "pro-MS" just because tendies find it as the only competition to Sony.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has destroyed multiple developers historically, cancelled more projects than any other company, and has been anti-consumer since the onset of Windows.

What a backwards ass board we have here, just because tendies are retarded, spiteful cunts.

This is on top of the Xbox being as irrelvent as ever as a platform due to it being FULLY on PC now.

if demand didn't exist they would be piling up on shelves
cope harder, snoy

sure bro it's all a conspiracy nobody really likes xbox

>Anti-monopoly laws when?
It's not a monopoly to pay more for more of something though?
>go to paper store
>buy 3 stacks of printer paper because I can afford to
>guy behind me only gets one stack: "UH, THIS GUY IS CLEARLY SETTING UP A MONOPOLY ON PRINTER PAPER"

Sony don't deserve this treatment. Fuck Xbox

Yes, its literally a shit brand that came late into the console race that offered nothing and continues to have next to zero value IPs.

Xbox is the brand for the brainlets who cant build a fucking PC.

Any more like this?

They deserve every bad thing in the world to happen to them for setting FF on the path to self-destruction

who the fuck is buying the Xbox Series X or PS5?? Its been like 2 or 3 years and theres still ZERO games for both machines.
>muh backwards compat

Playstation never owned Final Fantasy. Their loyalty came from Nintendo being fucking retards with the N64.

>zero value IPs.
I like FH5 and Halo and Gears of War a lot more than God of War or modern GT or Horizon
Lots of people get to them to play multiplats or last-gen games at better resolutions and framerates
I had a PS4 Pro for a while but never really played the exclusives until I happened to come into a PS5 by chance recently

i just find it laughable at this point that nearly 2 years later a common consumer cant buy a 'next gen' console

>I like FH5 and Halo and Gears of War a lot more
Yeah because you're a tasteless zoomer. Halo was outclassed years before with Half Life, for one. Literally nothing but generic garbage.

it's just scalping on a corporate level

Umm sonypoors...

ok let me know when sony makes half life 3 then

Snoy has no games, can’t even port their fucking games because of shitty Chinese bloatware

I have no idea why. I have all three and I paid retail price.

Sony has, since the earliest time, put a lot of emphasis on visual fidelity. A big selling point for their exclusives (albeit not necessarily their first party titles) has been cutting edge graphics (at least for the era).
The obsession with graphical complexity is what fucked FF up so badly, in my view, and it's an obsession that only really started when they were able to throw FMVs into FF7 and use them to market the hell out of it.
Aside from Tactics and FF9, nearly every single FF game has been chasing the dragon in terms of pushing graphical fidelity and recapture to runaway success of FF7. This is why we get pieces of shit like FFXIII and FFXIV 1.0 and FFXV. Because the company thinks that the games have to be pushing the fucking boundary with their spectacle and neglected to give the games more substance.
The only reason they made the fucking shit that was FF7R is because they thought it was a good idea to create a tech-demo for the PS3 that showed off its visual fidelity.
If Sony had never entered the market, they would have abandoned those designs and just stuck to refining on the actual gameplay instead of getting obsessed with visuals to the exclusion of nearly all else.

Sure, let me know when Xbox wins a single game of the year.

>game reviewers
lmao

>Halo was outclassed years before with Half Life, for one
When did I suggest otherwise? But I still enjoy Halo games for what they are (fairly arcade-y, decently controlling shooters that are fun with friends).
Your claim was that Xbox has no worthwhile IPs and I'm pointing out that they have at least more valuable IPs than Sony makes use of at this point.

Nah, fuck you. Monopoly is a fun game.

Sony has stopped that push since the PS1, so no, you are just retarded. Squards push is entirely their own at this point post FF9.

Why do you want to buy an Xbox?
Honest question from pc niggis.

>wins a single game of the year.
>B-B-B-BUT THE AWARDINOS
I don't think I'd want to my game to be in the same company as this trash

Soon

Yes? And who are you? Some random ass ugly fuckwad?
Why would I not trust them over you? You are literally a nobody that no one gives a shit about. You aren't "cool" for being contrarian.

>NOOOOOOO THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THOSE CHIPS TO SONY FOR FREE!!!1
lmao seething snoys

Playing vidya on a PC is the least comfy thing imaginable.

Fuck yeah

I'm glad to hear that Microsoft is about to anal rape Sony in sales for the rest of the year lol.

>single
lol

I legit can't think of a single exciting IP from Xbox in decades. I even gave Halo Infinite a shot and it was so fucking boring lmao.

My nigga.
What's your fav? Super Monopoly, Monopoly 64/PS1 or nubisoft Monopoly?

How so?

>open steam
>launch game
>plug in controller
if it doesn't have controller support, just take 10 minutes to set up a steam controller config or download someone elses

SONY SISTERS, TIME TO BUY ANOTHER WESTERN GAAS DEV IN RETALIATION

Sony still pushes visual fidelity as the primary selling point of literally every game they produce, what are you smoking? And they definitely don't advertise games with anything less than stellar realistic or Pixar-tier visuals.
Like, I might believe you if Sony EVER advertised games that were a little rough visually or even just different from the usual third-person schlock they love
>Squards push is entirely their own at this point post FF9.
Oh I agree. But my point is that they're only pursuing that policy because of the success of FF7. And FF7 was only successful because it was advertised around the world using FMVs.
And they could only fit those FMVs into the game by using multiple CDs to store them, something that Playstation alone allowed them to do.
Had playstation never entered the market, FF7 would likely have been a more modest success (and a VERY different looking game altogether) and Square would likely still be producing decent games to this day. Hell, Sakaguchi might still be with them since I doubt they'd ever get it into their heads to do a full CGI movie

I don't want a PC. It isn't comfortable to use on a TV and I'd have to spend a lot more for the same experience.

>So retarded and mad, he can't even type
Christ dude, go outside.

xbox pass works for both PC and console and you get all the console games too.
PlayStation already stepped down form the "PS exclusive" train and starts to sell games on PC too.

Also Bethesda and CoD being Microsoft Only in the future

Go to any forum where epeen matters then fag

>Sony still pushes visual fidelity as the primary selling point of literally every game they produce, what are you smoking?
Or they are just maintaining a forward standard of detail? This, again, is not Sony making Square do it. Scarlet Grace isnt super beautiful and its on PS4.

You seem delusional.

>It isn't comfortable to use on a TV
Plugging in an HDMI is hard for you?

>single exciting IP
FH5 pushed out MK8 and Burnout Paradise in terms of arcade-y racing game excellence.
Also Ori is pretty great on both games.

Thank you based Microsoft, I can finally get a real console

I'm not asking about pc. I was just genuinely curious why you would choose xbox over playstation or vice-versa.

Sony still has the Japanese market, which is something Microsoft will never get.

Once FFVII, FFXVI, KHIV and MHW2 drop it's game over.

I know it's a bit OT for this board, but for me it's Monopoli Edizione Ferrari.

The interface is shit for controller only. Yes you have stuff like Steam Big Picture but change any settings or install anything outside of that and you need to dig out the mouse and keyboard.

Ah, in that case I just prefer MS's games and I like Game Pass.

>all also on PC
Why is your list empty?

Why are people pretending this is new? This is literally just how manufacturing works.

Indiana Jones monopoly

>This, again, is not Sony making Square do it.
I'm talking about Sony produced games specifically, referring to your claim that Sony doesn't specifically advertise or push for games that are of extremely high visual fidelity.
In the second part of the post, I point out that even if Square is doing it to themselves nowadays, it's because FF7 was so successful which was only enabled by having FMVs to show off, which itself was only possible because Sony entered the market with a CD-based gaming system

>has been anti-consumer since the onset of Windows.
The most anti consumer thing in the history of videogames is Sony's current cuntery over crossplay

>Japanese?

Nintendo wasn't being 'fucking retards' with the N64, they were blocked from using CD-ROM technology due to a crooked one sided deal they were tricked into signing by Sony who paid off Nintendo's legal representation.
Third-party developers like Squaresoft started working on games using the Nintendo Playstation devkits, and when Nintendo backed out to avoid becoming a third-party dev on their own system those developers stayed on the now Sony branded Playstation.

Don't think Sony is unique in doing seriously underhanded shady shit. Microsoft would later pull a very similar move against Sega, albeit more successful. Killing the Dreamcast and replacing it in the market with the Xbox.

Because of cross compat lmao only permavirgins game on pc exclusively

FFXV, KHIII and MHW were on Xbox.
Also, FF has been shit for years.

>but change any settings or install anything outside of that and you need to dig out the mouse and keyboard
No you don't.
Also, a wireless keyboard is cheap.
