Google Stadia General Discussion - Like any other gaming platform, but worse.

[milk]

How did the stadia even get greenlit? You'd think the geniuses at google would realize no-one wants to play a game with a 5 second delay between every button press.

 

[Plank]

Fun fact: This dipshit has now been in charge of three failed video game platform launches in a row. PS3, Xbone, and now Stadia. He's basically the kiss of death at this point.

LOL, retard.

The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 by two million units worldwide in its first year on the market, outsold the Xbox 360 every single year on the market for the rest of its life, and went on to be one of the top selling home consoles in history.

California tech company being morons, there was absolutely no reason for Stadia to exist, they only wanted to annoy other platforms but because is google they cant even do that right and killed it very frequently, you can count of them making original things oncei n a while but when they try to copy something it inmediately goes to the trash like Google +

At launch, it was a shitshow, and got curbstomped by the 360 in pretty much every way. It was only after he left and Sony got their shit together that the PS3 started to gain steam and eventually overtook the 360. Which is what I was saying. The same thing pretty much happened with the Xbox One, which he was involved with initially. Hell, I can't recall a single thing he was involved with that wasn't a huge mess, at least at first.

Dumbshit.

The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 by a couple million units in its very first year.

How many fucking times do you need to hear that?

Even more pathetic for Microsoft was that Sony easily beat them while the PS3 was 200 more expensive and the RRoD fiasco was leading Xbox 360 owners to buy massive numbers of duplicate consoles which massively inflated Microsoft's sales numbers.

I remember the PS3 failing because a lack of games due to the chip they designed for it being way too complicated for modern day game devs (will be happy to learn if it's because it really was too complicated, or because game development is such a shitshow, not a lot of talented devs stay in the business).
Meanwhile the XBone might had the worse PR for a console ever. It also had the idea that absolutely everyone can play online all the time.

I have no idea where you're seeing the PS3 outselling the 360 at first because every single source I can find says the opposite. https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/NPD_Seventh_generation

This isn't even just about console sales, BTW. It's about how incompetent Phil Harrison is at launching products, and the PS3 had a ton of bad PR when it was first revealed. And hell, I like both consoles. Still have them both and played them a ton.

It was mainly because of both the lack of games and high price. But like I said, both were eventually solved. And yes, the Xbone - which again, Phil was involved with - was probably even worse than the PS3 as far as reveals go. Hell, it still hasn't fully recovered from it to this day.

Add another one to the Google graveyard. Bets on when they fully shutter this trashheap?

The Stadia name and project proper are definitely dead, but the tech is going to live on.

There is nothing wrong with the core technology for streaming games. It just isn't a drop in replacement for playing games locally with zero input lag and not having to worry about competing for your local connection speed.

It is very similar to Google Wave. The public product was killed off, but Google Wave tech went on to be used in many other Google products.

The PS3 sold 10.5 million console WORLDWIDE in its first year.
The Xbox 360 only sold around 8 million WORLDWIDE in its first year.

These number are right in both companies yearly financial reports.

The original Stadia PR tweet got deleted but heres ReLogics tweet storm. Pretty damning that a top 20 developer on the Play store says this about your company.

Oh yeah, I will concede that WW the PS3 did launch better than the 360, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that outside of America and a few other locations there just aren't as many places that care about Xbox - especially Japan.

So they just shut this guy out out of nowhere for seemingly no reason? Stadia may be on its deathbed but at least it's still providing quality entertainment, just not in the way Google was probably hoping.

 

[NyQuilninja]

The Xbox 360 had Some interesting concepts kinect. However it was complete Pile of dog shit. The lack of RPGs is Is one of many poor decisions on Microsoft's part as well as lack of available games. something that still plagues the xbox to this day. Many of the original xbox games didn't work on the 360 despite promises and lies. Stupid bastard use to overheat a lot to.

Sold and shipped are two different things. They couldn't even sell PS3s at launch, just look up photos of the launch events.

Phil Harrison tried to auction off an exclusive PS3 for charity at the Marillion Weekend in 2007 and "The band’s keyboard player duly started the bidding at around 100 euros, getting a couple of incremental increases from interested – but slightly bemused – fans." And from then on, as you might have guessed, this wanders into an alleged, slightly bizarre Sony hype fiasco - though it certainly was for charity,"

Stadia ads on youtube make me cringe.

They had two models at launch, the ones they couldn't sell were usually the 600 dollar ones.

The whole thing was the japanese branch being tasked with the global release and really screwing up on all levels. The US branch wound up being the ones that salvaged everything, and it remains to this day the only console that recovered from such a disaster of a launch. The Sega Saturn had better launch circumstances than the PS3.

They couldn't sell either at launch and it made me happy because scalpers got fucked to death.

The 600 dollar fatties tend to be in better condition than the 500 dollar ones on the secondary market even after all these years. Mostly because they have a higher chance of just being dead stock and never touched. The 500 dollar ones sold more, but both did abysmal until the slim came out.

Might be, but neither of them sold at the time. Scalpers picked up more than they could afford at release and I could still buy one at retail. I had to hustle to get a Wii at release without a pre-order and I only got a 360(without a pre-order, I like the chase) in early January(released late November). PS3 at release and after: no problem, even the 20GB version. Stores even got more stock when scalpers returned them! That's where sold and shipped comes into play.

The PS3 and PS2 at release was a night and day difference, the PS3 was a disaster even though they tried to make it a big event. They recovered well, but it bellyflopped at launch.

Yes, this irrelevant story makes the 10.5 million PS3s sold worldwide in its first year just magically disappear.

LOL

What is so hilarious about the butthurt fanboy type posts is no one is getting the point.

I don't give a fuck that there are still fanboys who are clinging to shit the read from other fanboys in the gaming media about the RRoD turd that was the Xbox 360 years ago. It's the same type of fanboy behavior the diehard Stadia fans are being mocked for in this very thread.

It is nothing new. There are still posters on gaming forums that are STILL butthurt about the Dreamcast taking a dirtnap some twenty years later.

Fanboys live in echo chambers and seek out information to confirms their bias and then as is always the case cling to that misinformation for the rest of their lives. No different than people who latched on to the Russia collusion hoax without any evidence. It is what they wanted to hear.

The Stadia fanboys are much more reasonable since there really isn't any easy way to get sales numbers for games. It is understandable that many fans would not really believe how badly it is doing.

But the Xbox 360???, in the words of Dementia Fraud Grandpa "Come on man!"

* Was 200 dollars more expensive than the PS3
* Had the luxury of the RRoD fiasco leading to massive amounts of duplicate consoles being sold and inflating Microsoft's sales numbers
* Had the entire US gaming press attacking it and huge numbers of gaming press actually going on to work for Microsoft
* Was rushed out the door a year early - a year and a half in Europe

Still got outsold by the PS3 by over two million consoles in its first year.
Was outsold by the PS3 worldwide every single year on the market.
Got absolutely destroyed graphically by the PS3.
And finally the Xbox 360 ended up in last place behind the PS3 and Wii.

High five Microsoft!

So, yeah, give the Stadia fanboys a break. They are bad but nowhere near the delusions of the Xbox fanboys.

This actually really fucking sucks. The Terraria team has been putting out good content for years, for free even. I hope he didn't lose any really important shit from being locked out. I mean he most likely did if he had it for over 15 years, but still..

Man what a shit show, how do you arrange for the guy to port over his game to your system and then completely ghost him when he needs help?
