I just play on whatever but I have not been a fan of Jim Ryan/Spencet to say the least.  I do like both PS5 and SX as hardware. SX is a really nice experience (except setting it up) as a console.  I just wish there was more to get for it on disc. At the very least Panzer Dragoon Orta in 4K looks fucking amazing.

Edit this was a response to the two previous posts.

Why so disrespectful towards him? He has nearly 80K followers and was trending so he clearly is not "irrelevant". He USED to be a console warrior, but he changed. Enjoying PlayStation content doesn't make you a console warrior. He's enjoying his new purchase and sharing it with his large twitter following. 

If it was his idea to take Xbox exclusive games to other platforms, then yes, he needs to be demoted as soon as possible.

Well let’s see;

- Is partly responsible for the failure of X1

- Is fully responsible for turning Xbox into a low quality all eggs in one basket Game Pass releasing mess 

- Is fully responsible for the complete collapse of Xbox hardware and failure of the Xbox Series (barely outselling the original Xbox) 

- Is fully responsible for the complete collapse of their most important IP Halo by being hands of with 343

- Buys Zenimax and goes onto release the worst received Arkane and Bethesda games ever

- Buys AKB and goes onto release the worst received COD game ever

- Constant bullshit about constant game releases but has 30+ studios that aren’t releasing anything

- Will go down in Xbox history as the man who made Xbox a third party developer and at the same time. Completely. Irrelevant. 

So Nha, I say give the man more time I got front row seats in this train wreck and wanna see the cliff approaching. 

Maybe I was harsh but -Shrug- Lol.

I'll give you that he has 80k followers so he's not totally irrelevant but he's still a tool and part of the reason he trends is often because of people mocking him. He's just another Crapgamer who lost his shit when Xbox started porting to PC. He is STILL a console warrior and just because he changed to PlayStation doesn't make him no longer a console warrior, there are plenty of console warrior PlayStation fans on Twitter too like "JapanHatesXbox" likewise I could say that "Enjoying Xbox content doesn't make you a console warrior" but that doesn't apply to TimDog.

He literally swapped to PlayStation precisely because he is a console warrior who can't handle that Xbox is porting stuff to the company which was his sworn rival for his entire life, now he thinks he is sticking it to Xbox for betraying him. Read his tweet, he literally decided that PlayStation was his preferred platform and company before he even got a damn PlayStation, Lmao. He will now be PlayStation's biggest cheerleader and act exactly like he did when he was an Xbox fanboy but now for Sony, if how he acted when he was an Xbot made him a console warrior, then the same logic will apply to PlayStation.

And I'll say again, PlayStation users shouldn't entertain his nonsense, CrapGamer abandoning Xbox didn't make him suddenly no longer a console warrior, you're cheerleading him one day and then all of a sudden he's crying and dooming PlayStation. As I've said before, I was never a fan of him and I don't follow any console warriors on either side (Xbox/PS/Nintendo), I make sure to keep my timeline clear of that shit and I'm not the only Xbox fan who thought this way about TimDog because console warriors are morons on both sides and should all be called out equally as turning our hobbies that we love incredibly toxic.

Almost certain Phil is doing exactly what Microsoft wants him to do.

"If it was up to me, I would love to get rid of the entire sort of exclusives on consoles, but that's not up to me to define," Nadella said. "Especially as a low share player in the console market that the dominant player there has defined market competition using exclusives, and so that's that's the world we live in... I have no love for that world."

Also, CFO of MS Gaming (who reports to Amy Hood, CFO of Microsoft) is well known as being pro-multiplatform.

I'm fine with Phil staying, I would love to see Sarah Bond as Head of MS Gaming one day though.

Having said that, if people think Phil being removed will suddenly change their strategy, they're going to be sorely disappointed, if anything it may accelerate it if the new boss is someone who doesn't have a particular attachment or history to the days of Xbox 360. There's no doubt in my mind that Phil is doing exactly what Satya wants him to do and what the MS Board wants him to do, Microsoft as a company overall is very against "exclusive" stuff and all about trying to put their software and services everywhere.

And as for anything else, Phil has turned MS Gaming from an around $8bn a year business to around a $16bn a year business (pre-ABK) and now a $20bn+ a year business with ABK, one which is profitable in the "low-single-digit" billions. MS Gaming is now level with Windows and will on some years overtake Windows in revenue (not always), Phil also successfully negotiated the acquisition of Mojang, a very big money maker, Zenimax, a major publisher who is decently profitable and ABK who are the most profitable 3rd party publisher in the industry (or were) and pull in billions in profits. People will say "that was inorganic growth!" or whatever but Microsoft frankly doesn't care about that term. Phil and his team negotiated and won Microsoft's toughest regulatory battle in years for the biggest 3rd party publisher in the industry.

I've a feeling MS are happy with him, he makes them money, they want him to make them more money now, Lol.

A borderline crazy hyper fan, for xbox.
Every console war topic, he's there fighting for xbox. Hes on tons of podcast ect.
Him leaveing xbox, is odd to say the least.  I guess he just completely lost faith in the brand.

That's perhaps the biggest problem right there.

When I started this thread, I was also asking if he should go for quality's sake. Several people are factually pointing out that Microsoft Gaming is making an ungodly amount of revenue. PlayStation is making a lot of revenue as well, and I was glad to see Jim Ryan go and hopefully some others like him change course.

Microsoft Gaming could make $30 billion a year in revenue, but if I think someone else can help steer the ship for better products that make less money, I will pick higher quality as a fan. 

MWIII was released literally one month after the acquisition was completed so this should not be listed.

It still released under MS control though. If it's quality wasn't good enough they had the power to delay the release of the game, so his point is still valid
