While people are arguing about their plastic box of choice and what's important between SSD speed or TFLOPS, Shuhei Yoshida and Phil Spencer are discussing on Twitter, reminding everyone that the safety of everyone is more important than console warring.

That moment in the Game Awards a couple of years back without Shaun, Phil and Reggie was nice. It's easy to forget but people in the industry often get along with each other and learn from each other, even if they are competitors.

I wish everyone can just remember how nice that was and stop with the embarrassing corporate fanboy wars. Games are fun, and it's great that there are so many successful players out there who are able to make the content we enjoy.

Shu is just a fan of video games all around, there is plenty of him being at Nintendo events so it's not like he stuck to only praising one system

I mean, they are acting like normal adults... unlike a lot of gamers. This shouldn't even be news but gaming culture...

Despite people thinking that the big 3 hate each other, they get along quite well. Sorta like the theme park rivalry between Universal and Disney even though they have monthly meetings together to discuss the current state of the industry.

Strong hardware, strong first party and strong leadership that focuses on the consumer is what we should want for all platforms.

Everybody who plays games benefits from a healthy and competitive industry.

Shuhei and Phil both understand that.

The sports analogy works again here, the players pal around, shake hands, freely move between teams by choice or necessity, and even party together in their off hours, while the fans beat each other up in bars, scream slurs from the stands, trash one another online, and slash your tires if you're in the wrong neighborhood.

Finally game pass here! Now I can think about getting a series x if the price is right!

It's crazy how we're praising adults acting like adults because here we have adults acting like children arguing over whose plastic box is better.

Amazing to see these folks leading multi billion dollar companies having better things to do than feed into petty console warz crap.

Gamers should take note of this. I mean I know they won't and the next console thread following this will just be an embarrassing Kindergarten like all previous ones, but hey one can at least hope, eh?

Phil has always gone out of his way to be gracious and cordial to Sony and Nintendo. Nice to see Shu doing likewise.

I mean, sure? Those are professionals, not some people still stuck in their 13yo "MY BRAND GOOD YOUR BRAND BAD" mindset, that seems rather prevalent in gaming circles, including this board.

Lots of mutual respect from two people who are passionate in what they do.

I always say this. Competition is good! With each other these companies would be writing on their own rules and give little about the consumer. Xbox 360 put pressure on Sony and PS4 put pressure on MS.

Nintendo dun give no f's.
