Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke: The Nexus of the Universe | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 434

Welcome back to another episode of Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke, our Sacred+ sub-program dedicated to an occasional meeting of the minds. As such, Colin, Dustin, and Chris are joined by Matty and Cog, and the approach this week is twofold. For starters, let's get into Xbox's ever-evolving market situation, its amazing software sales accompanying precipitously-declining hardware numbers. What's the future hold? Then, speaking of the future, it's time to then delve into PlayStation's games-as-a-service meltdown, and how Sony may (or may not) be able to pull-up before it smashes the entire operation into the side of a mountain. Will it ever find success in such a vital sector?

Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke x Punching Up? A meeting of the consoles. Make it look like the title screen of the Brady Bunch 😂

As someone who's mainly on Xbox Series X, I disagree that there's no reason to buy an Xbox Series X. Game Pass Ultimate, Ubisoft+ day one, free cloud saves, ability to use the Xbox One controller, 6 game refunds a year, quick resume, play anywhere, cloud streaming, etc. There's literally so many positives that I get on Xbox that while I own a PlayStation 5 Pro, unless the game is exclusive, there's really no reason for me to play on PlayStation 5 because there's nothing there for me the vast majority of the time. But to each their own.

The fact that xbox offers a refund for your gamepass sub when you cancel instead of keeping the money and just letting you have the service for the 30 day window then deactivating it is wild. I also played hell blade and indiana jones for free, and they give me no reason to not just keep on doing this.

Why buy an Xbox or why use the Xbox ecosystem/platform?? Here's why some would still prefer Xbox or to still use one Xboxs VP of next gen has stated plans to combine the best of windows and Xbox for Current windows PCs ad well as next gen hardware for Xbox Ease of use of an Xbox/console, access to PC/windows apps and software, native access to a premium top tier sub service w/ loads of day1 releases at an impressive rate, access to steam library (aka games that miss xbox like PS games), benefits and features of the Xbox/MS ecosystem like play anywhere - cross buy, cross play, cross save, cross progression, playing the games across console, PC, handheld, and the cloud, acess to multiple stores fronts, more customized experience, hardware some may preferr (controller) ...notice how I didn't say anything about exclusive games 🤔

No XBOX without a Box MS' inconsistent vision and messaging and lack of commitment in regards to the XBOX console, which is the basis for the brand, will put them in a position of having to logically cancel the brand in the end. MS will continue to shovel money by the boat loads from publishing games but the brand XBOX will be completely destroyed without a box anyone is willing to commit to at the top of the company. I like PS and XBOX for different reasons and both appeal to me, but ever since they came out with the "everything is an XBOX" nonsense I lost the last bit of faith I had in them and stopped purchasing games for the ecosystem. I just can't deal with their flip flopping silliness anymore.

Matty's point on the actual impact on the creators, human beings, which are the first having to suffer from bad management decisions of being allocated to unfitting or stupid projects, can't be repeated often enough I feel. I've never heard anyone talking about how they must feel, ever. Truly tastefully and intelligently creative people are game devs and console makers' most precious resource. Treat them accordingly. Don't waste years of their lives on silly projects and put them to work at a project where they can excell.

Matt Booty wanted to spend PlayStation out of business. There’s the rest of history to consider. Chris take? They always wanted to go third party. Come on. Ugh it’s awful how the most insidious, the most aggressive, the most monopolistic company in videogames keeps getting treated with kids gloves.
