Cynical sci-fi quack with a love of games and tech old and new.

@JezCorden @KoreaXBOXnews Halo was definitely a badly placed bet. Its own brand is at a low right now. But you’re too quick to say the whole plan is a mistake, Forza was huge as will Fable be. The new tent pole releases should just about keep Xbox out of the red

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden Maybe, she seems to have brought back “this is an Xbox” today 🤣

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden Do you use AI for anything? Like have you ever experimented with Claude out of interest?

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@LandesmeisterX @JezCorden @GamingCentral26 Yeah you misunderstood, and you still are

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@LandesmeisterX @JezCorden @GamingCentral26 100M PS5 and PS4 owners disagree with you

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden @GamingCentral26 Both consoles with have external disc drives that can be attached though right? Anyone thinking otherwise is just daft

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@Shpeshal_Nick @JezCorden This is an Xbox 🤦‍♂️

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@the_zb_ But McLaren aren’t contenders. Not even close. Verstappen wants to walk into a winning car and nothing less

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@IdleSloth84_ This insiders/reporters bitching at each other constantly is 🍿

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden @videotech Still on the blog though? Tbf looking at the RT it should perform better on SX. Or at least if they hadn’t have underclocked the GPU it deffo would’ve done

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@mooreslawisdead Valve ordered what 2-3M steam machine apus and other components. Sony will be ordering 100M. It’ll be comfortably under $1000

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JackmoveJohnny PS6 apu probably cheaper per unit than the steam box. Same on a per component level for most of it

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@Andy_VGC Andy, do you think they walked because of what’s rumoured to be happening with studio closures? Can’t understand why they’d be pushed yet Booty continues to survive

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden They should give them a chance for sure, incredibly talented studio. Ship the game day-1 multi format and outside of Gamepass 🤷‍♂️

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@JezCorden The Agentic stuff has been a game changer for big business

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@mattjbjohnson @LNER @CrossCountryUK @Starlink Very jealous. Did they tell you the service had a starlink trial? I’ve not come across it on my weekly trips on the east cost line

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@LNER @CrossCountryUK avg trip with you is 2.5hrs each way multiple times a month. Time I’ll never get back in my life. Connectivity is useless, get @Starlink and so many passengers would pay an excess to use it. I don’t need to get there quicker I just need to be productive!

[DocCottle @CottleDoc]

@max77sabers @mooreslawisdead There's also the volume side of it. PS5Pro was built to sell 5-10M units. Small scale. PS6 will have orders for 100M+ units over 5-10 years. Bigger discounts on the BoM for sure.

@carygolomb @Harley1Davids0n XSX might have been amazing if they hadn’t crippled it by making it the slowest RDNA2 GPU known to man 🤦‍♂️
