Yeah there's some stock buyer MS is chummy with who's buying up Nintendo stock and who will be ready when the time comes for hostile or friendly takeover.
Gaming feels a little weird these days mostly due to Microsoft buying or wanting to buy different companies, and this cloud malarkey.
In the past individual development were bought. Now whole publishers are gobbled up and you can suddenly lose access to multiple franchises in the blink of an eye. I don't like it.
Digital Foundry stated in this weeks vlog that they've changed their mind about PS5 Pro and believe it it will be coming out next year after all as the current platforms can't really handle UE5 well. I'd be surprised if MS doesn't add more power to their consoles if that turns out to be true.
Well Phil Spencer has responded to the leak saying that so much has changed and evolved since these old emails and what not. He says that they look forward to showing the real plans when they’re ready. It’ll be interesting to see how things may or may not differ to this leaked stuff in the future.

Very interested in checking out that Onimusha show on Netflix. Would prefer a new game though. Would also take a remake or remastering of the previous games as well.
Sorry guys, reason I stopped updating was I stopped using a laptop. My old phone it was too much of a pain to update. The new phone is bigger but it's still difficult to post news the normal way. The headline character limit is the problem and without a mouse and keyboard it's a pain to edit the headline every time.
Developers level of excitement for Switch 2 is night and day compared to switch 1.
A tech leaker guy with sources who usually covers PC graphics cards has outlined the switch 2 specs that he's heard from developers. To bottom line it, it's within 15% of Xbox Series S power (he assumes with dlss)
A Yakuza collection has been rumoured for Switch 2.
70% of Xbox owners have a series S, 30% of sales for the series X

21.09.23 - Square Enix's role-playing game Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will ship on two Blu-ray Discs and have an installation size of 150 GB. That's what director Naoki Hamaguchi told GameInformer.
The first disc is 100 GB, while the second is 50 GB. But you don't have to change discs like the original game. Instead, players install the RPG with both discs and only need one to play it.
IGN, Shacknews and Game Informer were able to play a demo of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and share their impressions.

Feels like 2012 again with MS wanting to go digital only, possibly limiting game sharing and rentals.
That game was a breath of fresh air after the RE6 shitshow.

That would have been the more sincere answer.
Thanks for the news, GG. If only there was a place that you could post it and would be easier for us to find. Maybe even color coded.
Very interested in checking out that Onimusha show on Netflix. Would prefer a new game though. Would also take a remake or remastering of the previous games as well.
Heh, I don't blame him for doing it in a post. It's pretty tedious and time consuming to use the news section, especially using a touch screen.
I agree, just busting balls a little.
Developers level of excitement for Switch 2 is night and day compared to switch 1.
