More ways to play Ninja Gaiden Black & 2 would be welcome. Rarely turn my XSX on anymore

I called my Uncle an Xbox. He put me in an upside down full nelson and made me look at his pssr patch.

Pubic super sexy rectal patch?

 

[nowhat]

Ooh, Phil jizz.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Gamepass coming to ps5.....

I wish lol

 

[Embearded]

As an MS employee also wrote that for PS5 Pro, the only thing i can think of, is they announce they are going multiplatform.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

"more sense" as in: this was dumb all along

 

[Clintizzle]

Hakuna your tatas. It's going to be nothing.

 

[mckmas8808]

We all know their next products will be console/PC hybrids.

Surely they aren't ready to talk about that soon. NO WAY.......Microsoft announces a new console/PC hybrid "soon".

Maybe native Xbox Store/Game Pass integration into Steam OS making way for the future?

There was nothing "super" about it. Sexy? Probably.

 

[Parazels]

Delete, please.

 

[ShirAhava]

Apparently I'm selling an XBOX! portable I had no idea

 

[Kvally]

It's not like Xbox made any sense.

 

[mckmas8808]

Despite the avalanche of jokes, I think the new marketing has been a success. It gets the message across. Sounds like its timed to lead into an announcement. All pretty logical.

What message did it get across exactly?

Maybe native Xbox Store/Game Pass integration into Steam OS making way for the future?

Does this also mean Xbox will stop making hardware in the near future?

 

[Raven77]

Oh my god, omg, what could he possibly mean?!?!?!

It's so freaking obvious what this means.

They've been talking about expanding the ability to stream Xbox games onto other things like smart TVs, cell phones, tablets, etc.

This stupid campaign is simply going to be showing all sorts of devices that you wouldn't think you could play Xbox games being able to stream Xbox games onto.

The people featured in the commercials will be the most least likely people to ever play a video game in their life.

Incredible mystery solved!!!

 

[Crayon]

We're ready to launch the new ad campaign.

But it doesn't make any sense.

No big, we can deal with that later.

The next Xbox "console" will boot Steam I believe.

 

[OverHeat]

Xbox hardware is dead…sad but true.

[djjinx2]

XCloud on PS5

Browser based yes.

Weirdest thing about all this is Phil Spencer says more Xbox consoles are coming. Makes no sense.

They will exist but as an option. If that make sense?

There's a very remote possibility that what Phil Spencer says is bullshit and he will reverse the course soon enough. Completely unlikely, I know.

So how will MS make money on the next Xbox console if it'll boot Steam? They'll lose 30% of all game revenue overnight.

Browser based yes.

My PS5 has a browser?

Yes and no

How to access the PS5's and PS5 Pro's secret web browser

You can surf the web on a PS5 and PS5 Pro, but it's limited

[ZehDon]

Typically, marketing campaigns explain things to customers. They themselves don't then need explanation, otherwise this defeats the intended purpose.

In any case, I suspect "make more sense soon" would be an announcement that drives home the point of the campaign. Which to me reads the announcement was timed for after the campaign made its waves. And if an announcement requires a marketing campaign before hand, then I suspect it'll be a doozy. Xbox announcing its third party shift officially, with all future Xbox games coming to Nintendo and PlayStation being front and center, fits the bill.

Tom is going to let me play GTA VI without shame-buying a console for one game? I'm hype for this!

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Well, PS Shocase is soon, so...

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

It's a glitch, this marketing has been done before. Suckers.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

I'm sure I'm wrong. I believe Microsoft will expand the Xbox brand to anything that can run a game.

So you'll be able to download the Xbox Game Store on your iOS, Android, and play Starfield on your phone.

Your laptop will be an Xbox, your PC will be an Xbox, your TV will be an Xbox.

And they'll keep releasing video games that will just be called Xbox.

It’s a pity no one wants to play their games.

 

[Zacfoldor]

You know it's true.

 

[Kamina]

Perhaps MS will release green Xbox branded cover plates for the PS5 consoles?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

 

[fudgybrownie]

 

[TheTony316]

So they released that stupid cutting edge slogan to generate buzz...

It'd better be a huge announcement at the game awards

Halo, Gears, Forza on PS5.

 

[DonF]

Ex-box like it used to be a box, now it's all in the cloud.

 

[RoboFu]

It's obviously some kind of game streaming in a web browser.



Maybe

 

[RoboFu]

That technically is an eXbox

 

[nowhat]

Depending on your level of kinkiness, it may also be a SexBox.

 

[Represent.]

it already makes sense....
