Use your finger nails to squeeze as hard as possible the base of the tag, hold it like that for two minutes, that will cut off blood supply to it, and it will dry up and fall off, it's painless and quick.
I believe the reason we don't hear about people leaving Nintendo is simply because they are leaving to go to work at other Japanese developers, not western devs.

I know Jez always brings up growth and how there’s no growth and this is all driven by public companies need for that. Only thing I’m worried about is I see Sony matching the console sales of previous generation (100+ million) while Xbox console may not even reach or beat the past gen which a lot of people agree was one of their weakest. Which means that they will continue to be more dependent on other platforms and not putting their all into consoles market which we have seen this gen.
Hey guys, great show. I was a little confused by Jez's point about Xbox needing multiplatform releases for growth when they're doing shit like releasing Gamepass on the Amazon stick and letting people play Xbox games without a console. Releasing games on a direct competitor and having those games play BETTER on PS5 pro just baffles me and is a slap in the face to Xbox fans.
Xbox is done with consoles. They fought the console war and lost. It's a stagnant market. Jez's point is that the console market is stagnant for everyone. If Sony is happy with what they make from it, that's great for them. Microsoft is a multi-trillion dollar company. For them, the margins that Sony makes on selling consoles isn't worth it. Xbox will be everywhere; on all screens. Sony likewise will also start puting more games day and date on PC. It's inevitable. A lot of the younger generation don't even use TVs. The world is changing. People holding on to this console exclusive model are going to be in for a rude awakening.
Xbox isn't growing because their games aren't good enough. Jez says Xbox can't grow more on consoles but that's a lie. Playstation maxed out on console because they sell around 100m consoles each gen. Xbox used to reach 90m during the 360 era and then they sold 50m and now less than 35m. So if Xbox sold 90m 360 consoles and now they're selling around 30m series consoles it means they lost millions of millions of customers. Xbox unlike PlayStation has a lot of room to grow in the console space (they can add at least 30-40m console customers). They can't because they havent released a single zeitgeist high 90 meta games since Halo 3. Halo being reviewed in the 80s MC is awful for a mascot game. Master Chief is or used to be like Mario, Zelda. Imagine Zelda releasing 3 games in the 80s metacritic. People don't buy consoles for 80 meta games. They buy them for the zeitgeist games like Elden Ring, GTA, BG3, TLOU, GOW or back in the 360 days Mass Effect, Halo 3 etc. Since games like Fifa/COD/Fortnite are everywhere those zeitgeist 90 meta games make the real difference. If you buy 1 console and both have Fortnite/GTA/COD then it's those high rated exclusives that make the difference. That's why PlayStation always sells 99m consoles each gen because they always deliver those zeitgeist games. Xbox hasn't since Halo 3. Phil Spencer is part of the problem.
If Halo goes to PlayStation I’m officially out on Xbox. Xbox wouldn’t even exist without Halo. Xbox fans are already jumping off ship cause of the whole multiplat situation. Halo going on competing consoles will be the final straw and I’m pretty sure I speak for alot of loyal fans that feel the same way
@@UncleBubby85 I can’t just yet my brotha, but Halo going multiplat would honestly be the final straw for me. Halo CE holds a special place in my heart as it was the game that I saw at a friends birthday party that literally made me trade my PS2, which I absolutely loved in for an Xbox. As long as Xbox still has Halo…..I simply cannot jump ship yet
If Halo goes multiplatform then Xbox is over tbh, become a publisher. The fundamental issue remains, Xbox makes less and less reasons to own an Xbox people will move and even if that's to PC it still means less Xbox hardware sales which ultimately will mean no more consoles.
In the modern day, it wouldnt matter whether the Halo campaign was an 11/10 theres an algorithmic incentive to cajole the egos of the dominant user base that couldn't play it and itd suffer in its review and perception at the very least on youtube
So crazy that in a slow first party year Sony has still managed to get so many GOTY quality games for their gamers. Astro Bot, Silent Hill, Wukong, FF XVI, FF Rebirth.
2023 and 2024 was supposed to be Xbox’s year and other than hifi rush the other games have been disappointing for me. I feel like when the games on gamepass have been disappointing as well recently
In response to Jez’s “could halo get away with an alarm clock” I don’t think Jez knows how huge the Halo collectors community is. People who love Halo love to buy merch of all kinds especially figures. Halo has new figure releases every year even when there’s not a new game and where is a new game the figure releases are on ultra mode. I think the Halo Collector group on Facebook is one of the biggest collectors community.
Jez kinda contradicting himself he says he was thinking of getting a ps5 to play ff16 but because he knew it was going to pc he didn't so if xbox puts all it's games on ps why would anybody buy an xbox? That's legit people's point
Yea as someone who owns both. I’d have no reason to keep supporting Xbox if halo or gears jump ship. Game pass is a great value out of convenience but I can just purchase the games outright or on sale anyway.
Been saying ot for long time even copilot says ot when you ask about my Twitter the best path forward is for Microsoft to keep all single player, niche and coop games permanently exclusive to Xbox ecosystem while putting all gaas, multi-player on Playstation Even put gears forza halo multi player modes on Playstation but keep campaign EXCLUSIVE to Xbox ecosystem It goves Microsoft the best of both worlds and doesn't kill off their digital store and Gamepass
45:40 jez is way off base here, nobody becomes15 16 17 and wants to keep playing mario😂 they want call of duty, God of war and halo targeting kids isn't going to win like he thinks it will
Good stream guys, Jen you were right on the ball today… you pointed out some great topics today about how Xbox and PlayStation has really forgot about the family market and children friendly market.. you pointed out many great topics about these issues…I love gaming and gaming is my favourite platform… a few of Microsoft Xbox decisions have made me really scratched my head… I love rts games and I am happy with what Xbox is doing to provide these games.. I wish Xbox was putting StarCraft remaster as well StarCraft 2 onto console be good to see StarCraft 64 go to console remastered too to console…really hope for StarCraft 3 and a StarCraft shooter and can’t wait for Warcraft RTS put on console to that be great…
Jez making a big deal about Valorant moving to UE5 but like it's an Unreal 4 game so makes sense they would move it over to take advantage of new tools. Also Rand acted like its been slow going for the past month or two on Game Pass releases/Day Ones when we got Frostpunk 2, ARA History Untold, Space Truckers, Age of Mythology Retold, All you Need is Help and Mechwarrior 5 Clans which were all Day One releases in just the last like 6ish weeks.....
Personally I disagree that Nintendo games is only based on on nostalgia. For example Fire Emblem, it only becomes popular when they give players another option of playing the game without perma death. And thus making the game popular. They always innovate.
Japanese culture has this super loyalty and shame for resigning. That's why you don't see people moving from Nintendo or other companies as much. People usually don't resign and they stay in the same company for a very long time. Sometimes all their lives.
VoH is absolutely fantastic imo, I'm impressed with the breadth of content, and the quality of it. Its more D4 though, so if someone doesnt like D4, VoH isnt goong to change their minds i dont think. Im also a huge fan of the game in general tho so i expected to love the expan.
As for Nintendo devs never leaving, it's specifically Nintendo Japan and it's a Japanese thing. Culturally, when a young Japanese person joins a company, they are expected to work there forever (which is why you see so many of the current Nintendo devs having been there since the 80-90s). Because of this, in the last few years a new kind of service has appeared called a "resignation agency". Younger Japanese people who don't accept more traditional norms will pay this agency to resign on their behalf because they feel they can't do it by themselves.
the reason people aren’t upgrading is they don’t have a great reason to currently, lol. That will change when games like GTA6 come out, and games like CoD stop supporting xbox one/ps4
Unpopular opinion but this is why I loved FF12 that game is hard AF. Its huge and its a mix between action and turn based. Alot of people couldn’t get into that one but the story was epic. Clive is an awesome character though. Hes in the Top 5 gaming characters ever for sure
The thing is reagrding the Medium , if that released at the same time as Silent Hill 2 did back in the day it would be regarded as a amazing game, an instant classic.. Silent Hill 2 for its day and limitations was good. but in today's gaming space its a below average game judged by today's standards and no where near as good as the Resident Evil remakes. Nostalgia is carrying a lot of games or in fact ruining newer games!! Again if silent Hill 2 was called something else people would be calling the game linear, clunky gameplay and really not a good game... NOSTALGIA is giving Silent HIll 2 a pass.. Its so frustrating how some games are being judged badly for the very thing Silent HIll 2 is doing yet because of the name it is all forgiven lol Gaming is in a weird spot currently.
45:00 Randal point of you is just bad. My first console was a PS1, I've played Crash, Spyro and many other games that were for kids and E10+. If I have a kid and I see either xbox or Playstation delivering good rated E games, I would just purchase that for them, especially if it comes included for gamepass. That whole idea that oh kids start at nintendo and go to Xbox or Playstation is not entirely true. My cousin first console was a N64 and right now he is 27 and his only console has been Nintendo consoles. Never did he ever had a PS or Xbox. Playstation has already started with Astro Bot and I hope they Continue but Xbox has Banjo, Crash and Spyro in there hands. If they start making games with those IP, trust me not only kids will play it, but adults who have also grown with the.
I was confused by ppl hyping up Halo’s move to FTP when it was already on GP. It set live service expectations in the age of Fortnite that they were never gonna be able to deliver.. Now ppl are cheering the engine change. I know it will make development easier, just hope ppl ready to see Halo everywhere tho.
Rand when it come to skin tags get the dr schols wart remover and freeze them off. U need to do it Avery two hours but I have one on my chin and one on my eye lid and I got rid of both in a week. No need to go to a dr. It does hurt but not to bad
Just Squeeze it with your finger nails, as hard as possible for a couple of minutes, this will cut off blood supply to it, and the tag will dry up and fall off.
Rand, I think your idea of keeping SP content exclusive to XBox on their titles is F’ing Brilliant. I disagree that it depends on how well the SP campaign is. There will still be goodwill that there’s some sort of exclusivity. Story is important to gamers and keeping story focused SP content exclusive is the perfect compromise. In terms of Indiana Jones and SP focused games, then I guess a delayed window is the best strategy if MS insists on no exclusives. But this is where they miss out on Hardware in that, I’m totally going to wait a year to play Indy Jones on PS5 purely for the dual sense effects especially with the whip. If MS would only release their leaked controller with the same haptics… But I think that’s a really clever idea you’ve got Rand. I hope Phil or someone with pull is listening.
I feel like Microsoft is delusional if they think people playing Xbox games and buying gamepass on android or fire stick is some big answer. Nobody is going to do that. They should focus on making the game store on windows something too good not to use. And give people a reason to stay in the Xbox ecosystem with great hardware and console exclusives.
Having your games able to be streamed seem like a lot of work and money to not have the best experience playing a game based on your Internet . And something people not gonna use much .
lol Jez- please stop trying to sell GTA6 to Roblox kids! LOL this boy I tell you. No, Roblox kids will NOT upgrade 'their' consoles for GTA6- they're totally different audiences, Roblox kids don't tend to make purchase decisions on their consoles, I don't know where to start! I feel like I'm listening to a drug dealer who hangs out a corner away from my local grade school.
I think Rands narrative of Infinite being a success at the start is simply false. The game launched without forge (took a year) and custom games, no swat/infection/juggernaut/grifball, no firefight/warzone type pve mode and most of these took months to years and some never arrived. 343 and Microsoft rushed a completely unfinished game and set it up for failure. It wasn’t a lack of content updates that lowered player counts; it was a lack of core features for many months post launch.

I agree. Cloud should be there only and big growth outside of Xbox/PC.
Amazon firesticks likely reach a different audience who wouldn't play games on consoles.

Well said.
No plans to exit those markets like it was no plan to bring Xbox games to PlayStation or raise gamepass prices lol
Right, lying to consumers faces is the name of the game nowadays.
If Halo goes to PlayStation and that pretty much is the end of the Xbox console in itself. Not the brand but the console.
Why ?
Most overdramatised comment award: 🥇
It is already dead in asia.
People are boo’ing you but you're right. I've already decided my Series X is my last Xbox. I'm going PC. Xbox will just get my money from Game Pass
I’ll leave Xbox the minute they announce Halo for PS5. Jez is talking numbers and business and money, not the longevity of the console and Xbox brand.
If Halo goes to PlayStation I’m officially out on Xbox. Xbox wouldn’t even exist without Halo. Xbox fans are already jumping off ship cause of the whole multiplat situation. Halo going on competing consoles will be the final straw and I’m pretty sure I speak for alot of loyal fans that feel the same way
I just jumped ship last week and traded my xbox in for the ps5. Come join us!

Nov. 15, 2026. New Xbox, new Halo, 25th anniversary, lets go!! 👀🔥🔥🔥
Does everyone keep forgetting about stalker 2 in November
Yes!
Not me brother. Will play on PC and can't fkn wait!

Regarding the jack of all trade discussion, isn't the full phrase "jack of all trades, master of none but oftentimes better than a master of one."
Thats the phrase
It is, but language evolves. This phrase is an example of that, one which people get wrong then that evolved into how its used today.
So crazy that in a slow first party year Sony has still managed to get so many GOTY quality games for their gamers. Astro Bot, Silent Hill, Wukong, FF XVI, FF Rebirth.
Inides like Pacific Drive and Animel Well are also good. Also Stellar Blade, Rise of Ronin. And this was SONY's off year.
2023 and 2024 was supposed to be Xbox’s year and other than hifi rush the other games have been disappointing for me. I feel like when the games on gamepass have been disappointing as well recently
Halo studios makes sense since people were speculating that they might not work on halo in the future.
In response to Jez’s “could halo get away with an alarm clock”

It goves Microsoft the best of both worlds and doesn't kill off their digital store and Gamepass
52:40 this isn’t true. Bitrate is not on a per game basis
Fk that! I bought an Xbox for Halo etc. If they put it on PS thats a bait and switch. I got screwed. I couldve bought a PS and had everything. Fk that
If u feel that way just play PS
And if it came to PS it would be the best way too play especially taking advantage of the dual sense
Just trade your xbox in already and come play some games that are good
Steam should do what GOG does and make it to wear your still able to play these games even if steam shuts down, period.

Personally I disagree that Nintendo games is only based on on nostalgia. For example Fire Emblem, it only becomes popular when they give players another option of playing the game without perma death. And thus making the game popular. They always innovate.
You also have Splatoon that Nintendo created in 2015. It’s not even ten years old yet. Another big seller is Ring Fit Adventure.
Man, Jez sounds so sad sometimes. Hope you feel better buddy.
No way! I absolutely loved tomb, raider, angel of darkness! It was my favorite game on PS2
Japanese culture has this super loyalty and shame for resigning. That's why you don't see people moving from Nintendo or other companies as much. People usually don't resign and they stay in the same company for a very long time. Sometimes all their lives.

Hi guys 👋 I listen every week keep up the good work.👍
Any comments on the new guy in charge being the guy that also stopped infinite going to unreal ?
The thing is reagrding the Medium , if that released at the same time as Silent Hill 2 did back in the day it would be regarded as a amazing game, an instant classic.. Silent Hill 2 for its day and limitations was good. but in today's gaming space its a below average game judged by today's standards and no where near as good as the Resident Evil remakes.
Nostalgia is carrying a lot of games or in fact ruining newer games!!
Again if silent Hill 2 was called something else people would be calling the game linear, clunky gameplay and really not a good game... NOSTALGIA is giving Silent HIll 2 a pass..
Its so frustrating how some games are being judged badly for the very thing Silent HIll 2 is doing yet because of the name it is all forgiven lol Gaming is in a weird spot currently.
Remember, if jez says something but doesn’t write an article for windows central, it’s not real!
45:00 Randal point of you is just bad. My first console was a PS1, I've played Crash, Spyro and many other games that were for kids and E10+.

That whole idea that oh kids start at nintendo and go to Xbox or Playstation is not entirely true.
My cousin first console was a N64 and right now he is 27 and his only console has been Nintendo consoles. Never did he ever had a PS or Xbox.
Playstation has already started with Astro Bot and I hope they Continue but Xbox has Banjo, Crash and Spyro in there hands. If they start making games with those IP, trust me not only kids will play it, but adults who have also grown with the.
I was confused by ppl hyping up Halo’s move to FTP when it was already on GP. It set live service expectations in the age of Fortnite that they were never gonna be able to deliver..

I’m pretty sure Xbox gets the cloud publishing back if someone purchases Ubisoft
Damn!!! I did not know they'd ban you for that. I play MW3 on my ROG Ally everyday!!! Hasn't happened to me yet, hopefully it wont
“Multiple halo games in development” - remakes shouldn’t count in this statement
They put halo on ps I’ll trade in every Xbox I own and have a ps console and switch only
Valorant was always Unreal engine tho, they are just upgrading to 5
Workers at Nintendo are loyal!
Still think silent hill 2 looks clunky, not played the original so maybe its nostalgia thats getting it all these glowing reviews?
Having your games able to be streamed seem like a lot of work and money to not have the best experience playing a game based on your Internet . And something people not gonna use much .
Either do your research on playstation before talking like y'all do for xbox or don't spew bullshit and spread misinformation.

I feel like I'm listening to a drug dealer who hangs out a corner away from my local grade school.
The halo team dosent inspire confidence

I think Rands narrative of Infinite being a success at the start is simply false. The game launched without forge (took a year) and custom games, no swat/infection/juggernaut/grifball, no firefight/warzone type pve mode and most of these took months to years and some never arrived. 343 and Microsoft rushed a completely unfinished game and set it up for failure. It wasn’t a lack of content updates that lowered player counts; it was a lack of core features for many months post launch.

Plus the monetization and the progression system initially was scummy as hell.
Co-op campaign too
Y'all cope so hard lol L after L for Xbox
Jez is so annoying sometimes rand is basically talking to himself i can't stand ignorant people

I love halo and I’m a huge fan but the franchise is dead and it’s unfortunate. The only way to bring it back is reboot.

I cant wait to platinum the next halo game. Halo will look good on the white ps5 case
Halo will not feel like halo without blam, the move to unreal is lowkey going to destroy the franchise
