Regardless of what the intentions were of this show it was anemic garbage. This all could have been done in their normal 30 minute show.

If DynamiteCop feels this way then this show was hot garbage.... glad I missed it.

Thanks for your patronage

Gamepass for 1 dollar should really tell you all you need to know about the "value" of this service and how appealing it is.

They want to pump up their "sales" numbers by having people sign up for GamePass on $1 subscriptions.

 

It pumps up "Game Sales" numbers and subscription numbers.

Except that's never happening and xCloud makes the Switch outside of Nintendo games a market redundancy. Who the fuck would want a Switch when your phone negates its existence?

Tears, Gamepass for a dollar on my Switch will be amazing.

[jehurey 3,238]

LOL, he's now attempting to say that phones are going to destroy Nintendo.

 

What a lovely 2009-era argument.

So XCloud having the same exact games as Xbox1 does not negate Xbox1's existence. 

 

But it will somehow negate the Switch?

Of course not, its dedicted results will be superior to the streaming with no added simplicity. The same cannot be said for the Switch at home or abroad.

 

The Switch's selling point is mobile gaming, this shits all over that with a device we all already have.

Bro...Xbox1 isn't flying off the shelves as is, so obviously the "dedicated results"  of accessing Xbox1 games doesn't matter to the mass market. 

 

The whole purpose of MS streaming is so that the barrier of purchasing the Xbox hardware is removed from the customer so that MS can reach a wider audience for its games without people needing to purchase an Xbox. 

 

Switch doesn't have problems selling and is already having a better 2017 than 2018 sales wise.   XCloud won't impact the Switch because currently MS first party offering are not must have titles. 

 

On the flip side,  Nintendo titles on Switch will still make it a wanted system. 

Same goes for Sony.  Great  Exclusives Matter.

Oh ye simple minded. 

 

This isn't a replacement for Xbox, it's an addition to it, to hit the markets outside of it that it's not capable of reaching. It's not about not needing to purchase an Xbox, it's for people that don't play consoles, who don't play PC's, for those that want simplified mobile gaming without needing to purchase hardware and in select instances for those who do to take their games on the go from home. You seem to forget that this isn't even going to be in beta until an undisclosed time in 2019, when's the likely rollout for this then? Probably 2020, what's also likely to roll out in 2020? Yep, a new Xbox.

 

You're far too enamored with the Xbox One, you're far too short sighted to realize they now have like 15-16 game studios in production that are going to continually leap frog, you're far too slow to understand that xCloud isn't going to live and die based upon Microsoft's games alone, it's dedicated hardware capable of any Xbox One game operation. When the next Xbox rolls out you guessed it, they're without a shadow of a doubt going to update their blades to account for it. 

 

You think the Switch is something special, you forget 5G is rolling out, data caps on phones continually get larger, some are already unlimited and this is spreading further and faster than ever. You forget that they're building mobile controls into the app so you don't need a controller, you forget that they're building mobile add on controllers, you're forgetting that you can use an existing controller, you're forgetting that this service can function anywhere and everywhere. 

 

Something like this neuters the Switch, it might not neuter Nintendo's games but it's not like they're doing the greatest job getting big names out there in a timely fashion. The Switch's biggest contribution to gaming has been bolstering the Wii U's library and portability, so old games and what's more portable and on you at all times than your phone? Nothing. 

 

 

When you have the opportunity to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on your cell phone do you actually think something like the Switch is going to be a talking point? Fuck no. Time to start sweating.
