Well it wasn't difficult for Phil to look like a gamer when other companies were putting forward the likes of wee Jim Ryan.

It was a pretty transparent persona. One which Jim Ryan smartly realized was not necessary to run a large business.

Jim Ryan was running a corporation. Phil Spencer, Aaron Greenberg and company were attempting to lead some weird nerd cult.

Phil in that photo is like trying to suck Nadella's "lollipop".

exactly, thats also why you see top brass of playstation getting actually rotated, while these losers are glued to their chairs like some third world dictators.

It's a shame he didn't also smartly realise before the many occasions he put his foot in his mouth.

Microsoft, if you’re reading this, make me CEO.

First thing I’m doing? Every single damn IP we own is going Xbox-exclusive, yes, even Call of Duty. Game Pass? Sure, but only for old-ass games. You want the latest and greatest? Buy an Xbox.

And before the regulators start crying, fuck it, pay the damn fee, grease the wheels, whatever it takes. We can afford it. Hell, I’d even split Xbox off from Microsoft just to make the bureaucrats happy, while keeping an “obviously open partnership” moving forward. They can whine all they want, but we’d still be running the show.

Next up? Dropping a new Xbox so powerful it makes high-end gaming PCs look like an abacus, yeah, we’ll sell it at a loss, but with every major franchise locked down, who gives a shit? We’d own the industry.

And just to twist the knife, I’d hit up Trump and be like, "Bruh, America First, right? Sony’s from Japan." Then, I’d throw whatever money we need at the winning political team to keep regulators off our backs while we take over the damn market.

You want dominance, Microsoft?

Lol. They'd bleed money doing that. Microsoft isn't a charity. They need to make money. They've never made money on hardware, but your solution is to make an insanely powerful console, more powerful than any PC, and sell it at a loss? All while splitting up from the parent company and pulling away the PC revenue?

No, this has to be a joke.

Microsoft has a history of nepotism:
