I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.

Neonridr461d ago

PS5 + Switch is honestly the best combo.

Jin_Sakai461d ago

Agreed. Both have amazing first party games!

Orchard461d ago

SteamDeck + Switch.

Xbox and PS games are playable on SD.

badz149461d ago

@Orchard

why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games

Orchard461d ago

@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.

461d ago
S2Killinit461d ago

PS5 and Switch is definitely the way to go.

Jin_Sakai461d ago

“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”

Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.

FinalFantasyFanatic461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.

One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.

BehindTheRows461d ago

PS5 + Switch + PC. But, close enough :P

The Wood461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop

thorstein460d ago

Well said. And whatever Xbox "exclusive" that I want, I just get for my PC.

You despise it because of a court battle?

S2Killinit461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

Personally I share his sentiments, for what MS is doing to the industry.

Fu£k MS, seriously.

The fact they’re trying to gobble up the worlds largest 3rd party publisher add over 2 years waiting for system sellers.

You despise them because of a court case? Feels like an overreaction.

Flawlessmic461d ago

You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?

Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.

Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.

notachance461d ago

Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.

thesoftware730461d ago

Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?

Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.

porkChop461d ago

What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.

giovonni461d ago

I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.

PapaBop461d ago

If only they put this much effort into actually making their own games.

BehindTheRows461d ago

Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.

CobraKai461d ago

I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

JL2930461d ago

Who told you Metroid is months away?

Obscure_Observer461d ago

@Jin_Sakai

"I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point."

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!

NotoriousWhiz461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.

Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.

BehindTheRows461d ago

I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.

In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.

Focus40460d ago

Did Microsoft touch down there

RNTody460d ago

My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.

MontyeKristo460d ago

You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.

Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.

Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.

Get over yourself.

This is crazy. I can't believe MS dragged Ninty into this drama 😆

PureBlood461d ago

Hopefully they tell them to bugger off!

MEGANE460d ago

This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.

jonny897461d ago

Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.

Orchard461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?

And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…

Orchard461d ago

I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.

Hofstaderman461d ago

Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs

Thundercat77461d ago

Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?

badz149461d ago

Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.

FinalFantasyFanatic461d ago

I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.

XiNatsuDragnel461d ago

Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?

lodossrage461d ago

They are, and they'll probably fight the subpoena just like Sony did.

blackblades461d ago

"Google and NoA requested extensions to the deadline to limit or kill their respective subpoenas"

The Best Games You Can't Officially Buy Anymore

From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."

You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.

CorndogBurglar1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.

Terry_B1093d ago

The author changed it actually

Army_of_Darkness1092d ago

Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.

littletad1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.

shuvam091093d ago

Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake

isarai1093d ago

One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.

NecrumOddBoy1093d ago

The original memes to the moon game. Loved NNB on PS3.

FreeckyCake1093d ago

I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.

Knightofelemia1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.

CorndogBurglar1093d ago

I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.

Knightofelemia1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.

This is a really bad list.... but only because the title sucks and is so all encompassing. If it pointed out that the FANBOYS choose to ignore these things, than sure. But otherwise, these things are well known and documented.

rainslacker1613d ago

Some of the things are really dumb. Especially the connection to the Yakuza. Their reasons are completely baseless, and really idiotic.

“ Once Upon A Time, Nintendo Made Erotic Playing Cards”

“ Nintendo Ran A Love Hotel”

“ Nintendo Was Associated With Gangsters”

“ They Once Had A Cartoon That Was Awful”

Wtf? Those aren’t even gaming related. At this point this dumb site is as bad as GamingBolt, if not worst.

“ They Charge People To Play Classic Games”

In what world do you get to play classic games for free on other console? 🤦‍♂️

1614d ago
rainslacker1613d ago

i used to like the Mario cartoon. On friday's they'd have the Zelda cartoon.

The yakuza connection was that the Yakuza preferred Nintendo playing cards, and Nintendo did nothing to stop them from buying them...because that's what Nintendo should do for some reason. I'd say most gamers don't realize that nintendo didn't start with computer games. "Love Hotels" aren't illegal, anywhere. Unless they were providing escorts, I don't see the problem.

And the last one, yeah, everyone charges for that. No one gives their stuff away for free just because it's old.

Tross1613d ago (Edited 1613d ago )

Yeah, I'd love for a free service like VC, but I'm willing to pay for the actual games.

tontontam01614d ago
