What’s up with the Geoff Keighley hate on XboxEra? I’ve always considered Keighley to be a very cool person and a great person to represent the game awards. He’s totally our guy, I’m not convinced he’s a playstation fanboy or whatever. He gives about equal time to both platforms, if anything he’s pretty agnostic on Nintendo and usually shy’s away from talking about their games.

Same.

No hate, but you can’t really ignore his generally less favorable attitude towards Xbox. Go watch the Series X reveal, dude was like “ok that was the new Xbox” and called it a day.

Ehh I’m over all the “Keighley vs xbox” stuff at this point tbh lol

It’s less of “eww Xbox” and more “yoooo Kojima noticed me LET’S GOOOO” :rofl:

That is why the Kojima project getting announced at Keighley’s would be perfect. Maybe not this year, but next year ONL or TGAs is possible.

I found this recently uploaded compilation of Japanese Xbox commercials, including JSRF, Dead or Alive, and Ninja Gaiden. Pretty cool preserved Xbox history here. Some of these are pretty funny like the Halo one in the middle lol.

I don’t think he has anything against Xbox, and we’re seeing Xbox are actually leveraging him and his shows more and more because he is big & important and yeah a cool guy too. But I’m just saying there’s enough evidence of him just being largely un-hype for Xbox stuff. Which listen, it’s ok if he’s just not into Xbox but just show equal professionalism you know.

If KOJIMA is where his real heart lies, getting KOJIMA on Xbox would be a priceless move; as in do it no matter how much it costs. Geoff and KOJIMA CAN be a needle mover combo for Xbox’s strategy to attract core gamers.

I watched his Xbox Series X gameplay reveal pre-show and he clearly was looking forward to seeing the games and learning more about the console. It’s rare for him to have overblown reactions to any products really, the only time I can remember him raising his voice really loud for a game or product was for Elden Ring.

As for the Xbox reveals?he showed off the console, perfect dark and has nominated many xbox titles over the past few years. He seems to be in-tuned to what’s going on around xbox. I’m not going to call him a PlayStation or Xbox fanboy, he’s just the award show guy and he always seems to run a really solid show.

No idea if it was insider or not, I am an insider though.

Best marketing videos in Xbox history <3

Think this why Xbox did a strong start in JP markets

For anyone that wants one Walmart has 20th anniversary controllers up for grabs. I was able to get one. Seems like they must have decent stock of them. Looks like Target does too

There are still plenty more years in Phil Spencer, but yeah if it was today those two appear to be the front runners.

Yeah, easier contendors than Elden Ring, Zelda, God of War and Starfield next year.

Both seem good choices

But I hope Phil doesn’t plan on hanging it up for a long time yet
