Boy, Spencer is just frantically throwing anything against a wall to see if it will stick these past few days. Unfortunately for him, it seems to only be working on the same small group that tries to defend his words.

btw thismeintiel, are you saying Spencer is making things up when you state that he's "throwing anything against a wall to see if it will stick"? Because if so, I don't think I spotted anything that was made up in OP's quotation:

"[Gerstmann also asked if [Switch] players will be able to earn Achievements.] "I don’t know yet. I’m guessing no. And this is a collaborative relationship between Nintendo and I; they don’t have Achievements on their platform. If they want us to, I would love to be able to do it… The relationship with Nintendo is incredibly strong. We obviously did the Mario mash-up pack into Minecraft; that doesn’t happen that often.""

What antics and lies are you guys detecting?

"The relationship with Nintendo is incredibly strong" Oh really? I doubt that. Also, he's been saying alot of PR things that are also bullshit.

Well Spencer goes on: "We obviously did the Mario mash-up pack into Minecraft; that doesn’t happen that often."

Both Microsoft and Nintendo are in the hardware business so for the two to collaborate like this, in my opinion, is an example of a strong relationship.

I think Spencer's opinion would look similar.

Just because two people have the same opnion doesn't mean they are right. They don't have a strong relationship outside of collaborating on one thing. That's closer to a one night stand. If they partnered and shared their games on eachother's platforms, I would call that a strong relationship.

Thank you for sharing your opinion on what a "strong relationship" is.

I think that Phil should stop the PR antics.

At some point he stops lying to everyone else and is just lying to himself.

He has yet to back anything up. His most recent lie was about the power of the XBOX and it was hilarious. Since there is absolutely zero evidence to back up his claim of "Nintendo and I are the best pals" it's best to assume it's the usual PR dribble.

You know, if you lie once etc...

Good points.

Is it stronger than the unprecedented partnership between Nintendo and EA though?

I dont know. I think the other small group thats trying to twist everything he says is working much harder to try convince people everything is not ok at xbox and phil is a lier.

Im loving the last few positive MS threads from E3. They all have the exact same small sony group coming into them and they repeat the exact same words in every one of them threads. All any user has to do is look in any MS thread the last few days and you will see the same users in every one of them calling Phil a lier etc. Its so funny watching the Sony group enter self defence mode.

The Sony fanboys are indeed awful awful people but let me tell you from the perspective of someone who thinks that MS is the most consumer friendly company in the console business right now. Phil is a lot of times just spewing corporate garbage. Maybe not because he wants to but because it's his job. And lies should be called out immediately no matter how lovingly that individual may seem. That's not bashing or hating. That's just saying "Put up or shut up!"

Well you don't have a very good relationship with Sony anymore after six months mud throwing at PS4 pro. But if Nintendo and MS are friends all the better I guess.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
