The only people who are up in arms about MS dropping intentions for console VR on the X just sound like they're trying to switch focus away from this issue, to be honest.

There's very few, if any, people in that thread who appear to be genuinely upset and had intentions of getting VR on the X - rather they're just glad of any tenuous opportunity to accuse Microsoft of anti-consumer behaviour.
I personally am glad that MS is not rush on VR. It is not matured yet to a product I would buy, tbh.

Nice ad, but I'm bit disappointed there's no Sony call out, not even a vague one.

Man, I hope Nintendo and Microsoft encourage third party publishers to add crossplay in upcoming games like Sonic Racing and whatever else that comes out. I've only tried crossplay in Fortnite but it's pretty awesome.

Pacific Northwest!
If people scream "They aren't winning!" or "A business needs to make money!" loud enough and often enough, maybe, just maybe, other people will forget they are having fun.

I didn't say I stopped playing either because of the crossplay I said it's ironic that I stopping playing them since this cry arsing over crossplay began. It's even there in the bit you quoted, I don't care. It's just funny how I've not been on those systems as much in the past couple of weeks, because there's a false narrative people are stopping playing there PS4 and playing more Xbox and Switch because of two games being available for cross play.

lol it's a "false narrative" because you didn't do it? That's not how it works :P

Misery loves company when you're not on top
Even though it's salty bullshit period, I can sort of understand where it is coming from regarding Microsoft, like, you are completely and utterly wrong and are spouting nonsense, but I can see where it comes from when it comes to Microsoft. But Nintendo? With the Switch selling like hot cakes?

lmao

If Nintendo or MS get on top next gen and suddenly are agaisnt cross play then we can talk

It needs to be a standard. Cross play, cross progression (account based), etc.

Microsoft and Nintendo jumping on it definitely helps with third parties — like the recent SEGA tweet. That's why it's important for Sony to get on board. Change will fully happen then with no hesitation if all three are on board. As it is, companies have to walk the line around Sony or you could get a Fortnite account situation.

Those tweets from MS, Ninty and Sega got me all giddy like <3

While it seems cute, Sega endorsement is.... weird. Like Nintendo and MS, Sega also went up against the PlayStation but unlike Xbox it didn't have a billion dollar company to cary it, nor a handheld market with Pokemon etc like Nintendo. As a result, Sega was reduced to a 3rd party developer... my favourite Sega franchises are either dead, cancelled, or on hold and the Dreamcast lives on in our memories now..
Here is hoping that Nintendo teaming up with MS saves them from a similar fate.

Having said that; Super Smash with Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Milo (Molyneux) and Blinx the Timesweeper would be legendary!!
Or what about a Forza Horizon x Mario Kart?

I really hope MS teams up with Nintendo for more projects. Switch would be the perfect console for an on the go Forza. And Mario Kart would look amazing in 4K 60fps on an Xbox One X.

So what you're saying is that Nintendo is "teaming up" with Microsoft because they fear getting destroyed by Sony? Yikes, that's one way to read the situation I guess.

Yikes, that's one way to interpret my post I guess.

I merely thought the Sega 'endorsement' felt like an Omen. If teaming up saves them from that then I am all for it! The market is stronger with more players as history has taught us :-)

Team Sonic Racing having crossplay makes a lot of sense. I wonder what Sumo thinks?

What did Sony do with PSO2? (I am a bit out of the loop)
Just the usual blocking crossplay, and it's been speculated their account hijinks are why the Switch got a streaming client rather than a native port.

I think people are reading into it too much. Sega were just joining in the fun, which I found kind of cool!

I agree with your last point though. Maybe not swapping of exclusives but a close partnership would be good.

PS if there is any comfort in it, Xbix seems to have become the de facto Dreamcast successor, with the amount of Sega games available via BC :)
