  • Honestly the way they name new xbox consoles probably isnt helping sell them, its so damn confusing
  • @DRossGaming
    Honestly, I don't give a flying fuck what's going on at Ubisoft. Normalizing $100+ Deluxe/Ultimate Edition games is downright absurd.
  • @FWleader
    I didn't take it as a flex that you're travelling but as a long time listener, the fact you're doing it more frequently seemed like a good indication that you're gaining popularity as a small media outfit. Based on the slow decline of big gaming media into AI driven schlock it's really nice to see.
  • @juggernaut6666
    Kind of funny i bet the announcement of assassins creed shadows massively boosted the sales of ghosts of tsushima
  • @Badmunky64
    The Xbox never recovered from the terrible launch of the Xbox One. Edit: My spaghetti guess is the next Xbox is going to have an open ecosystem that can play PC/Steam games in an attempt to compete with the Steamdeck. It would make sense. The series S is a pretty useful machine for a good price if you turn on the dev mode and turn it into an emulator machine.
  • @RenegadePandaZ
    Ubisoft pushing the internet requirement kills all interest I had in any of their games. I don’t trust them to not pull some shady bs and neither should you.
  • @bobmishima3295
    Decline of Halo coupled with Xbox One really hurt the box
  • I can't justify owning an xbox anymore because Microsoft can't either, since they literally said you won't need one to play their stuff.
  • Thanks so much for mentioning Duck Detective!! It's coming out tomorrow on PC, Switch & Xbox tho! - We didn't update our presskit, will do that now 😅
  • @Hugop_arts
    Just a clarification on Pierre's graphic of sony x nintendo sales and profit: Sony Sony report gross sales (meaning 100% of the value) and Nintendo report net sales for 3rd party titles (only their 30% cut) which inflates Sony's sales. W/o knowing how much % of the total of either company comes from first vs third party, we can't draw strong conclusions (pierre said so himself)

    As an American who has made that trip to Australia, I can vouche that it is a long and arduous journey.
  • I really wish these videos had timestamps. I adore the content but sometimes I just want to skip to a specific section to the coverage I'm interested in. Just my perspective
  • @greed-1914
    Were people actually thinking Ralph was trying to brag about the travel?
  • @Aogami20
    Just a thought here but "Sony's games take more money to make" is not the whole story behind the disparity between them and Nintendo. Breath of the Wild cost something like a hundred million dollars to make. Sony pays it's CEOs more, and pays more in dividends and stock buybacks than Nintendo does. They show less earnings because they are literally paying themselves more and calling it operating costs.
  • @dovahbrewer
    how are you going to say tomb raider isn’t relevant when you actively play DESTINY
  • @paddy1505
    I feel you Ralph. Went to see my mum in Australia from the UK ... Dear God what a journey. I always remember when the plane reached north Australia and I checked the time to land in Melbourne (thinking it wouldn't be long, like an hour...) ... and holy Jesus, another 5 hours later. Crazy trip, but worth it... especially on my first night I almost walked into a Red Back Spider dangling from the ceiling. Glad you got back home safe to do more of what you do best.
  • It's really gross to see Ubisoft thriving when Square Enix is definitely not
