Its not about the Tweet, it's about what is being said in the video and Ryan's reaction.

People do realize that Gears 1 came out on the exact same day the ps3 launched, right? If you're planning to launch a new console, don't you think they would plan to at least have something to showcase the thing?

I get that a lot of games aren't ready for launch. Hell, Sony will also show a ton of games that aren't going to come out anytime soon either. The worrying thing is that they don't seem to be able to show us a glimpse of gameplay footage at all. Its almost as if they haven't even started working on next gen games yet.

The video is clearly out of context from a massive console warrior, seriously, Red Dragon is garbage, so I'm not even going to bother entertaining it and it's unfair to Geoff.

Regarding Ryan, I've never argued against Xbox One holding back next-gen, in fact I've said that Xbox One needs to be ditched ASAP but again, Halo Infinite was well into development before Series X was finalised, ditching Xbox One now will not result in massive upgrades, it has been designed for Xbox One from the start, Phil has also said it is up to the developer and the original quote is 1 to 2 years, 2 years is the ceiling so it doesn't bother me too much.

Game development is complicated, Halo Infinite has clearly had some struggles, alongside that as I said, their investment into XGS is more of a recent development (Late 2017-Early 2018), development takes time but at least now we can see what is coming in the future rather than guessing. Yes Sony is more prepared because Sony hasn't had to revamp their entire software division and hardware division.

Of course they have, Fable and Avowed started production around 2018 but to point something out, you've been complaining about how Halo Infinite looks and how nothing looks next gen or whatever and yet here you are demanding they show gameplay for projects early in development...

Red Dragon maybe garbage but he didn't misquote Geoff, though. He literally said the things he highlighted in the Tweet. Now, I'm not sure if he's talking about the stuff MS has shown to the public, or that he's talking about things he's seen behind closed doors. But its hard to argue that MS's GP strategy is getting in the way of showcasing those next gen muscles of Series X. I mean why would MS want to release a game that pushes Series X to its limits, if 95% of the GP users wouldn't be able to play it? That's the exact opposite of what they want lol.

We will see with Avowed and Fable, but somehow I got a feeling they are not showing anything because there is nothing to show. 

Fable doesn't seem poised to launch on Xbox Series X or PC any time soon based on current openings at Playground Games.

Like I said, its almost as if the bulk of MS's 1st party studios haven't even started on next gen games yet, and instead have been focusing on AA games for GP. Which isn't that bad, I'm kinda enjoying those games. But if you're expecting AAA exclusives like we'll see on the ps5, I just don't think Series X will deliver on that front, as we both know that's not what they're aiming for.
