Howdy Dukes! Happy Hundred and I hope my write in finds you well! Allow me to cut to the chase, what the hell is up with Nintendos ability to succeed? In one week Pokemon Scarlet and Violet more than doubled God of War’s reported sales numbers. Considering that Ragnarok had the best launch in PlayStation history, how far ahead is Nintendo in terms of success? What’s their magic? How come they can release a technical mess and get away with it? Will Xbox ever have a game touch those sales number? Unlikely with Game Pass but who knows! Appreciate all the content, and here’s to another 100!

Good Fucking Day Boys, As we approach the end of the year, and the Activision deal is not complete, is it time to ask if this deal was a mistake? 1. Call of Duty most likely will not be xbox exclusive 2. Microsoft seems more interconnected to the Western Square Enix then we thought (working on fable and perfect dark) seems like a logical fit that Microsoft would have bought them for 300 mil and then Xbox would have 3rd person action adventure exclusives 3. Could Microsoft have bought bungie and given them back halo!!! 4. On the positive side, gaining King for mobile and gaining Blizzard for PC makes Xbox the definitive mobile and PC studio of the big 3 (sony, Nintendo, xbox) and if Microsoft becomes more console agnostic, then maybe this deal is worth the loss above, but at the moment it feels like a huge opportunity cost of two key acquisitions that would have provided immediate benefit with less scrutiny
