Can I remind you who said "Nintendo are in a league of their own" and is now having a meltdown because you can't back that statement up when challenged on it? (hint - it's you)

Also not sure what Jim Ryan being in charge has to do with anything, PS5 and the games are selling like hotcakes.

The vertical stand was shown before the console released.

>What I'm saying is can you confirm that the designer said "im going to create a console, it will be specifically a stand up console, my first concept drawing of the console will be of it standing up"

What the fuck does any of this matter? You still seem completely fucking Ignorant to the fact that yes, yes someone designed it to be standing up.

So the manufacturer explaining in the fucking instruction manual that it can be stood up somehow isn't confirmation that it was designed to be stood up? You also ignored it being stood up in the 1999 reveal.

It's also no more likely to scratch a disc than when horizontal, and the vertical stand was also shown at the reveal.

Don't reply further, because I am done wasting my time replying to your idiocy.

So they just put a rotating logo on it and released an official vertical stand for the LOLs? What about the plethora of PS2 Slim packaging that shows the console stood upright?

And oh look, it's the PS2 shown in both orientations at the official reveal by Sony themselves in 1999.

You're also more than welcome to peruse the instruction manual and read the section detailing that you can position the console horizontally or vertically.. It even details the fact you can rotate the logo! Almost as if they planned for it to be stood upright...

Nope, it's a garbage modern console. The Series X smokes it in terms of graffics, but also important stuff like storage (the Series S only has 350GB of useable storage, VS. 810GB on the Series X, and any game optimised for the Series consoles - including older games like Forza Horizon 4 - have to be played from the SSD)

Doubtful, especially when there's a whole generation of kids that only play online, and anything less than modern graphics are an assault on their eyes.

What sort of alternate dimension are you living in, exactly? They've received a console in the post, they're not taking receipt of a container ship of heroin or something.

I've got both myself and over two years into the gen there's absolutely nothing in terms of exclusives I want on the Series X. Halo Infinite is my biggest gaming disappointment in years, console is not a good way to play Flight Sim (especially at 30FPS) and while Forza Horizon 5 is fine, it's basically glorified DLC for 4.

I'm hoping Starfield is good (although it coming from Bethesda I'm not exactly hopeful due to bugs/optimization) because as it is my Series X is mostly used to play Sleeping Dogs and Sonic Team Racing Transformed at 60FPS.

So, about Gears of War Ultimate, Halo Masterchief Collection, Fable Anniversary...

Funny how you claim the company that are milking franchises to death in the last few years have gone in heavily on new IPs that have received critical and commercial acclaim like Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Returnal, Spider-Man, completely rebooted one of their biggest franchises (God of War), and released only the first sequels to The Last of Us and Horizon, all the while Microsoft have given Gears 5, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo 8.

Cherry picking info is fun though, isn't it?

Microsoft buying studios (and let's not forget the Acti-Blizz deal is under a lot of scrutiny and hasn't actually been finalised) won't magically produce good games. If Halo - their flagship title - is anything to go by, and the fact that they've so far managed all of three "next gen" games in the last two years (only one of which is actually exclusive to the Series platform), there's a serious issue with mismanagement of their studios.

Sony have already proven they know how to pump out high quality titles at on a consistent basis, and there's nothing to suggest that's about to change.
