Punching Up, Episode 18 | Is Xbox Making the Switch?
Added 2024-01-10 17:00:14 +0000 UTCConsole exclusives have been the standard for decades. Purchasing a console granted you access to each manufacturer's lineup of exclusive games that you can't play anywhere else. Nintendo has adhered to this strategy since the very beginning and has maintained a firm grip on one of its most valuable assets. While Nintendo won't be changing its approach anytime soon, what about its competitors? A recent rumor and leaked rating approval indicate that some select Xbox games may be making the switch to other platforms. What could this mean? Are games like Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves just a test run, or is this just the beginning? Additionally, Nintendo is celebrating 30 years of Earthbound! Is Nintendo planning to bring back the IP in a big way, or are they keeping it at arm's length? Hit play and enjoy the first episode of Punching Up for 2024!

2024-01-11 12:28:33 +0000 UTCI'm honestly not sure I agree. If that were true then why didn't games skyrocket in price when Sega, Atari, or even Neo Geo left the console space? I'm sorry but your argument doesn't make any sense.

2024-01-10 21:55:20 +0000 UTCWas Jean supposed to be telling us about all those games he was playing? Feels like embargoes are usually more strict than that lol

2024-01-10 21:54:49 +0000 UTCFunny to see everyone cheering on this idea of Xbox becoming this 3rd party publisher without considering the ramifications. If Xbox does more and more 3rd party publisher than their install base will shrink, when that shrinks they will receive less support from publishers. When the support leaves they will go full 3rd party and if that happens game prices skyrocket as there will be no real competition anymore. So if you want a future where every game is 100+ then yeah keep cheerleading for this to happen instead for having a more split gaming ecosystem in where the 1st parties compete with prices to your benefit.

2024-01-10 21:26:17 +0000 UTCTaco Bell is goated. The wife and I eat that shit on Fridays. I worked at Taco Bell during the Kingdom Hearts days. I was 15 and I quit when I was 19. We smoked a lot of weed in the shed and the walk in freezer. We used to make Taco Bell hot pockets because our store was a Pizza Hut express as well. Take a tortilla and add some Taco Bell, Pizza Hut ingredients and throw that bitch in the oven. Stoner food as its finest.
