If this was the bill gates led MS, I think you might have a case, but the company has dramatically changes since 2017. I think its worse if Sony acquires companies as they have a history of making those games exclusive. Bungie can't even be used as an example right now as we've yet to see what will happen. MLB the show was forced by MLB threatening to pull the license if they didn't allow porting.
No shit Sherlock. Every company does this, every company is going to spin the narrative positively. Is their job to do so.
Okay for two weeks? That's nothing! LOL. Both XSX and PS5 have been supply constrained since their releases. Even now the XSX isn't so readily available. Moreso than the PS5, but you can't go into any store and find it. Right now, based on what you posted, it's ONLY available at Walmart. What about Best Buy? Target? Gamestop? Etc?
How about minecraft, minecraft legends, Call of duty and overwatch instead? Or ghostwire tokyo and deathloop? Its still better then Sony publishing NOTHING on other platforms. Note MS isn't opposed to releasing games on other platforms. Playstation still received Doom and Wolfenstein updates.
It could be like a "Half-True" or like " Cherry picky true".
Yeah, one you were in too. Turns out they weren't sold out in a day either there was stock for a while at least 3 days in the US since the tweet was earlier and people were seeing stock up until the 8th of april. In the UK you could readily buy one in all 3 months and stock actually run out in July. I just want to know don't people get dizzy of all this flip flopping in reasoning?
That is what you are asking MS to do. The double standard you put forth is both annoying and stupid. MS has released games on playstation that never previously existed on the platform. Sony has done nothing of the sort. Minecraft legends was a new IP title. MS has been reasing games on other consoles dating back to the games they published on the nintendo DS
I mean, your evidence is a GAF thread about an Amazon drop that was sold out after a day. And how is 2021 the height of the chip shortages? For PS5 we have real numbers, and at least in Q1, 2021 comfortably outsold 2022. We'll see on Friday how Q2 goes.
Those third party deals that MS hasn't done since 2015? You're the one complaining about games that were available on certain platforms that aren't anymore. Fact, sony hasn't published any game on anything but sony platforms and as I said before I would rather MS buy studios/publishers compared to sony for that very reason. pretty dumb way to push yourself into a corner. You're right, you're too old or senile.As if MS have never proceeded to securing third party deals themselves! Yeah, no point in dragging this...You are obtuse as hell, and I am too old to indulge.
Where were you a few months ago claiming hardware sales decreases are due to worse demand when Sony reported a 14% drop in PS5 sales due to supply issue? If you are going to claim hardware decreases are due to lower demand from gamers wanting it, dont forget to fight the fight on the PS side too.

No, that's not what I'm saying.I'm saying when sales go down but availability increases that means a drop in demand. There is no concrete quantitative data to show availability has increased or decreased but you cannot have both a decrease in sales and an increase in availability without a drop in demand.
But people are saying right now (July) it is more available than April (the quote). you're saying the opposite. It's all just flip flopping nonsense in reasoning.
I'm asking for your evidence or even a simple reason why you think the supply chain was more fucked in June, May, April than before when it clearly improved. I want to see one single piece of evidence. Mine is anecdotal but it at least shows the general consensus/feeling in that quarter. Now show one reason why you think supply was worse this past quarter.
Dont forget Sony releases their earnings in a few days. You already skipped talking about PS5 months ago when their hardware dropped 14% vs last years quarter.
You might want to ask your friend Bernd where he was with his "flooding the market" and "supply outstripping demand" comments he was making for the PS5 instead where Ricky was saying PS5 was available "for days" in late 2021:
Why would you need that when I said I even expect them to? I said spending in general has decreased but some would rather make up some theory about a worsening supply constraint.
Every reply also has negativity to it
He's not otherwise that would condradict his point about being supply constraint causing the decrease in those months and it being "only recently available" (meaning July which won't be in that quarter). I wasn't calling out your post or anything just showing that the general consensus in that quarter was that supply/availability was better.
It shows as available to me.
Also, here is a picture that I took from a Best Buy near me (and I believe they had more in the back):
No. Literally I have been saying nuanced/deep/ analysys-opinion.
Crisis management is a concept that exists in PR..
What did I said? And I quote myself:
Again....PR/Marketing is one hell of and art.
