Please welcome journalist and podcaster Jez Corden back to Sacred Symbols+. Jez is the co-host of the popular Xbox Two podcast and the executive editor of Windows Central. He's also a well-known Xbox brand insider, and it's always fun for me (Colin) to talk shop with him. Through Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, Mojang, and even its own one-time exclusive first party studios, Microsoft has rapidly become the biggest third party publisher on PlayStation platforms. Obviously, there's a great deal of meaning behind this, as one-time economic arch-enemies become intertwined in ways not to unlike Nintendo and SEGA's dance back-in-the-day. Suddenly, PlayStation's library will be buttressed by titles it would have never seen in years past, while Microsoft can rely on customers outside of its ecosystem to pour cash into its coffers. In other words, things are kinda upside down, and they're primed to remain that way. So let's chat about it!

the answer to why anyone would buy an xbox...because their online infrastructure works

Jez seems like a decent enough fella, but I’ve never seen a so-called ‘expert’ be so wrong, so often. So many of these video game insiders just seem to guess and I’ve lost count of how many things Jez has assured people were, or weren’t happening with Xbox and just flopping them entirely.

Colin used “to” when he should have used “too” in the description…unacceptable!

If Microsoft does a staggered release of their games on PlayStation there will still be a benefit to purchasing their console. As in- their games stay Xbox exclusive for 6 months. That would give users some benefit in staying with their machine and it will give Microsoft the much needed sales of their games on PlayStation. Too me- that's a perfect scenario. Especially if they have consistently good to great games releasing ever few months. I'm chose PlayStation 5 based on all of their incredible exclusives last gen, but what they are offering now and in the next 3 or 4 years is of little value to me so I'm side eyeing Xbox a little.

Jez is very impressive. I don't think he's always right but who is but he does back up everything he says with a common sense analysis that's really well articulated.

More Jez please!!!!

Jez's inability to see why game pass loses money is incredible. Just total misread of the circumstances. He's very nice and means well. But that he can't see why Microsoft would mislead people about the profitability of game pass and that the game pass only cohort can't possibly be that big.

I don't think PC matters in the grand scheme of things. Wukong sold because China has far more access to PCs than PlayStations with all the restrictions there. Making a live service game successful on console only can work if executed and marketed correctly.

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

It's my estimation that about a third of the Xbox 360 install base has moved to PC. PC is where people are going. I see it on my friends list. PC is what you want to buy because you'll get everything.

Awesome collab. Hoping Colin will also appear on XB2 again sometime.

Bailey Callis

Jez talks very nice, but this man is constantly wrong, and spreads so much misinformation

Idk that I've heard a more disingenuous man speak in my life

Christian Longo

Did Colin ask this bullshitter about being in a anti PlayStation discord 😭

Mr. Limpadick

Great interview Collin! Love the guests lately. Really interesting. Especially Father from Raised by wolves. Love that show.
