Gabe Newell: Xbox Series X is better than Playstation 5

[DixieDean82]

Not much to this very short clip! But I thought still thread worthy.

 

[Deleted member 5028]

Not much to the clip but maybe not super thread worthy without more context? It'll just keep warz going.

 

[ClassAndFear]

Jesus, didn't even blink.

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

Phew, it's over, everyone.

 

[Rover_]

yeah... expected since PS5 is very close with Epic Games, his biggest competitor.

 

[DanteMenethil]

-"Why?"
-"Cuz it is."

lol

 

[entremet]

Jesus, didn't even blink.

It is controversial though? I thought it was corroborated?

 

[Y2Kev]

It's so funny that there was another thread with the same content but it isn't based around a 26s twitter extract so it kinda went under the radar.

 

[TheGhost]

I'll trust Gabe over Tim any day of the week 🤷‍♂️

 

[EagleClaw]

Sony is done, i tell you
/jk

Yeah, I wasn't sure tbh.

 

[Izanagi89]

There's not much context as to why he thinks that sooooo...why the thread?

 

[Deleted member 2840]

Artifact 2.0 confirmed for XSX. Do it Phil

This makes no sense lol

MS is also close with Epic Games since their own studios use UE A LOT compared to Sony.

 

[Expy]

Xbox definitely has more horsepower, but it won't really matter.

 

[Yippiekai]

Well, yeah, the Xbox is more like a PC than the PS5.
That's the only reason he gives in the interview.

 

[Jorden1506]

Sure it wasn't about the ps2? He couldn't count to 3 and up right

 

[Nesther]

Got flashbacks to Gaben during the PS3-era.

 

[Deleted member 27471]

Buying an Xbox i guess. His argument was so compelling and well thought out you can't even argue it.

 

[JobenNC]

Oh man, zero hesitation.

 

[Porygon]

Here comes the damage control and dismisses

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Well I guess that settles it then.

 

[M4xim1l1ano]

But what does Gabe Newell really know about these stuff..

Spoiler

/s

a little more context.

 

[Ferrs]

These new consoles need to launch already so we stop this carnival of stupidity. (don't mean OP but this whole console warz in general, last days have been tiring).

 

[Rowsdower]

Sony is doomed, pack it up everyone /s

I mean, 1) if it's about hardware, he's kinda right, it is more powerful and "better", and 2) Sony and Epic are buddy buddy. Valve and Epic are rivals. Also Microsoft is putting games on Steam.

 

[Yogi]

Who's putting more games on Steam, Sony or MS?

Oh nvm, I forgot the new Xbox was more powerful, been out of the console race for too long.

 

[dziga]

who is this guy ?

 

[gamer forever]

Won't be buying valve games ever again.

 

[Dreathlock]

Gabe is praising a microsoft product? What is this? Bizarro-World?

 

[Clive]

Console warz are over. We won, Xbros! We won!

 

[Wallace Wells]

Arrogant Sony loses again


/s

 

[Alastor3]

console war is over

 

[Prine]

Shouldn't be controversial.

 

[Krakatoa]

Gabe's just stating facts. We've known this all along its more powerful.

At the end of the day, You buy the console(s) that you most interested in.

 

[ILikeFeet]

don't mind me

 

[Deleted member 66837]

Cancel the PS5

 

[jbug617]

Tom Warren basically lays it out

 

[Genio88]

Our god has spoken

 

[Kenzodielocke]

It's like objectively true that the Series X has more horsepower, so I don't get the intent behind this thread?

 

[Domcorleone]

Cancel next gen folks, MS has it in the bag

 

[Toumari]

This thread will go well I'm sure.

He's an ex-Microsoft employee who just happen to support his platform with first-party games whilst Sony on the other hand supports and is an investor in his competitor. However without context why he prefers Series X over PS5 there's not much discussion to be had.

 

[Raigor]

who is this guy ?

Just someone who helped creating Windows.

 

[Midas]

No lies detected.

Gabe Newell: 360 is better than ps3

Also Gabe Newell years later on Sony Stage: PS3 will have the best version of Portal 2 (the best looking Valve's game of ps360 generation).

 

[Deleted member 68874]

Reporter: "Why?"

Gabe: "Please wishlist Halo Infinite on Steam today."

 

[GreybeardGamer]

Always The War.

And it's not going to go the way most people think anyway...

 

[Sid]

What is the point of having the most powerful console if you have nothing to show for it

 

[KillaKap]

Never knew salt and sarcasm mixed well.

 

[Alienous]

More than 'the Xbox Series X is better' he's saying, of the two, he'd go with the Xbox.

I wouldn't just put that down to power. That statement, alongside Microsoft Mixed Reality, makes me curious about the potential future of VR on Xbox Series X. Would he say that about a console that isn't supporting the market he sees as the future of gaming?
