Shuhei Yoshida congratulates Xbox on launch of Forza Horizon 5
- Thread starter stormfire
- Start date
What a traitor. /s
I'd be shocked if Phil and Shu didn't send each other their respective consoles at launch.

Console warriors are always way more militant than the people who actually work at these companies.
Because they are, you know, functioning adults with lives.

Nah Shu is just saying this so Phil lowers his guard so he can go for the kill.
Its because the majority of these companies employees don't care about "console wars". I reember when Mike Ybarra got flak for playing I think it was God of War on a stream and people were like, "you shouldn't be doing that as a Microsoft employee." They don't care, they just love the industry.
The internet cares far more then any actual employees.

they could give less of a shit, but the console warrior trolls never get that.
I wouldn't be shocked either, considering they eat together at restaurants at E3 and seem to like each other.
That's why PS and Xbox work together in the HDR Group. They just want to be close to the enemy. Like the saying says, be close to your friends and closer to your enemy. All makes sense now 🙂🤣
There never was a war between the actual companies / execs.
Only between fanboiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This is why Jim Ryan says: "we're porting so and so to PC - enjoy", and the fanboys reply "we hate you, Jim".
To be fair, a bit of the opposite can also be said. Some people think all developers are completely neutral and have no bias/console preference, when that's very often not the case.
User Warned: Platform Warring
i know he's an executive so he has to take the high horse, but it's honestly fair for fans who are out there supporting his system to be annoyed at this. would be like if your coach high fiving the opposing coach for scoring a touchdown on you when the game's still on the line. why not instead point out how esteemed gran turismo is and what they have in the pipeline ps5? even like a little "don't sleep on us" jab would be pretty good.
basically corporate politics suck but its no surprise in today's climate

No, it's really not.
You're saying corporate politics sucks…because of how civil and professional it is?
Opposing coaches shake hands all the time. If anything people who don't are called bad sports and a rightfully reprimanded
Some people a bitter sports yinzers
And some people's sport is console success metrics
I got into racing games for the first time ever this year because of Wreckfest on PS5.
...what is "the game" in this case, that fans are supposed to be concerned about? Who sells the most hardware? Making sure the "other" system has no good games, or at least ignoring it when they do? Treating sales like a petty rivalry?
The competition is a capitalistic one between two large multinational corporations. The fact that the players view this landscape as two opposing teams in a zero sum contest is entirely part of the problem.
What? This will shock you then...

and GDC events where developers of different companies talks about their learnings to improve the work of everybody interested.
Preferences are one thing, biases and console warrior nonsense are quite another.
I'm just supposed to go home and reintegrate into society after what I've been through? The things I've seen?
I wouldn't be shocked if Arteta for example got advice from Guardiola, despite them competing with their respective clubs in the league.
The was a long detailed post in the old place about Sony and MS collusion.
Same reason why some sports fan are way more rabid than anyone playing I guess.
So you want toxic behaviour and fuming the flame instead of people behaving like adults, gotcha.
Thankfully that aint happening. And no its not "fair for fans to be annoyed", they should take a look at the mirror.
