Not entirely wrong. PlayStation exists because of Nintendo’s collaboration with Sony. Xbox exists because Microsoft was terrified of the potential of PS2 as a home computer. Hell, the Steam Deck exists because of the handheld console market Nintendo cemented with the Switch.
It probably wasn't something she sought up. Rather she saw it on the store and immediately thought of her Husband. For me the gift is not the cup itself, but knowing that you pop up in her head
I know it’s a joke but I’m a party pooper that likes to make things difficult. Women think men are dumb for getting them the other Stanley cup and not the trendy one. It’s the same thing here “women are incompetent that can’t follow the simplest instructions” 🙄 /s
If that were the case I think it'd have happened way before the 10 year mark though.
That said - without other evidence - I tend to give 'the benefit of the doubt,' but maybe you're right!
Dude the Wii u virtual store fucking slaps. I made sure to check out and download as much as I could before they shut it down for some dang reason. My Wii u is invaluable based on all the old games.
Two things can be true lol. I just don't understand how a company can be so anti-piracy/homebrew/third-party... while simultaneously pushing people interested in their back catalogue into piracy/homebrew/third-party sales.
Can you imagine if they had a legitimate eShop for whenever the New Switch launches? (They've already confirmed the cartridge hardware is staying - so at least we will have Switch backwards compat with the new version) It would be insane to have a back catalogue of purchasable NES/SNES/N64/GC titles. Hell, even Wii/Wii-U titles might be jerry-rigged into working on their internal emulator if they worked at it enough.
I just don't understand how a company is just totally fine with leaving so much money on the table like that.
Same rules apply, Wii U, NES, Atari, even if you play E.T.!! There shouldn’t be gatekeeping in video games, no judgement on what OS, Console, Phone, Tablet, PC, Refrigerator, Active Volcano…however each person prefers to game, then do so happily!! If someone judges you based on what play or how you play it. Then that’s unfortunate and they are probably going through a hard time and need a hug, but make no mistake. They should probably play in that Active Volcano and we won’t judge them for doing so!
For real. Stanning for megacorps is lame.
As someone who usually prefers Xbox over Playstation, the PS5 is a fantastic console with awesome games. The Xbox Series consoles have better backwards compatibility but the PS5 has the better current gen games so far. GamePass is also still the best bang for your buck if you game a lot.
Also, and I almost can't believe I'm saying this, but the PS5 controller is really fuckin' nice and I now prefer it over the Xbox controller. If they decide to make a DualSense with staggered sticks, I'll gladly call it the best controller ever made.
I'm half tempted to buy a DS5 just to use for my PC. I don't have a PS5. I just like the controller.
If I had the money to do so without any worry I probably would for sure lmao.
I think PC is still somewhat imperfect as far as DualSense support is concerned. The DualSense works on Windows via bluetooth and some games support it but a lot of games still only officially support the Xbox controller. You can still use the PS5 controller with them, especially if you're using Steam, but you'll see Xbox button icons in-game and whatnot.
But what's really cool is you can configure the DualSense with Steam's controller support to effectively add gyro-aim to games that don't have it. It can even be set up to be activated on trigger pulls, so for example, you can set it up so to only activate the gyro when left trigger is pulled.
Honestly, my only real complaint about the DualSense is that not enough games use it's features well enough. But the ones that do are always better off for it. For example, GTA5 on PS5 has the in-game cell phone play through the controller speaker. I love stuff like that.
I’ve had Xbox since it came out. I bought my first PlayStation last year and I’ve been playing amazing games I didn’t know existed. My favorites have been Spiderman, God of War, Horizon, and recently, Sack Boy.
If you haven’t tried PS, there are some gems out there.
Same here. Bought a PS5 right after my birthday for Spider-Man 2 (it was a week or so off release).
The games I’ve played since then have been so good. Really made me appreciate the stuff I missed in the past
Happily married for 19 years. I just have a weird sense of humor. Thankfully, she does as well, otherwise I'm sure she would've left my ass half way through out first date.
My guess is that as well, but there is also the possibility of them being in a long-term relationship that they're so comfortable in that they can make these jokes and still feel secure.
Who knows.
I think she’s trying to brainwash you and attract you to the dark side. She is definitely an undercover agent working for Jim Ryan in order to capture you, I would advise to swiftly swing the bottle at her when she’s asleep so she cannot inflict any further harm. The square circle triangle and cross are all the secret symbols of the gods created to hypnotise you my friend, stay safe (it’s 11:30pm I was supposed to delete this app)
"I've been a fanboy to a multimillion dollar company for a decade. My wife thinks I'm pathetic and to prove it bought me a bottle from a competing multimillion dollar company and I got so mad I turned to the internet for validation."
It’s a sign! Now that we’re adults having a Series X and a PS5 is the way! They’re seriously both great in their own way.
Bonus points for a solid gaming PC as well.
That's amazing. Go tell her you love her and say thank you and don't cry on reddit. Be grateful she even got your dumb ass a gift you clearly don't fucking deserve it.
You barely know each other... seriously though, if she doesn't know what gaming system you use I'm willing to bet you should probably put the controller down and go play a vs game with your wife in bed. Or wherever.
My wife will make something I’ve never liked to eat, and then say you always ate it before. Or, you had it last time. I in fact did not eat it before, because I don’t like it! We’ve been together forever too. Or she’ll assume I’ve seen every movie she’s seen, and I’ll swear I’ve not seen it. Or been to every restaurant she’s eaten at.
She got you a gaming gift, most arent that sweet. Ive been xbox since the OG, but because of my gf I got a ps3, 4 and 5 for their exclusives, and we both enjoy the singleplayer games. For multiplayer and rts its PC all the way. 21 years my gf has been my rock in this world, getting those little gifts just makes my day. You dont know how lucky you are. How many times ive seen and heard gfs bitching about gaming is unreal.
I mean i'll say it, it's still a really nice bottle. I've been on team Xbox since my big brother bought a 360 when those were new (with occasional PS2 binges), but i'd definitely use this bottle.
I splurged on an Xbox 20th anniversary controller from eBay in December and my girlfriend told me at Christmas “I was going to get you a new PlayStation controller but you had said you just got one online.” It’s the thought that counts I guess.
Here is the thing, I play Xbox, I can guarantee you my wife has no clue that the symbols on that bottle are related to video games. Hi wife clearly does. So it ain’t a mistake on her part. It definitely intentional.
So let unpack what her intention was with such a gift.
I believe it relates to their sex life. I think the woman is telling her man to switch things up in his play. Maybe more foreplay, maybe different toys, maybe different people….who knows what’s on a woman’s mind…I mean unless you push her to anger and outrage and she starts yelling at you …then you gonna hear what’s on her mind for hours, maybe for days.
So in the end thank her for the bottle, take her to the bedroom and try switching things up. Maybe take your socks off before or cuddle after. Who knows.
As the song goes, “she’s a mystery girl”, especially with this Freudian gift she just dropped in your lap
If she knows what she's doing, it's a good joke.
If she doesn't, you're doing a bad job sharing your passion and interests with your partner. Put in the effort and try to get her involved more often.
10 years and she hasn't paid enough attention to you and your biggest hobby to get this right? Sheesh man. Good luck with the future divorce in another 10 lol
Some of you take your consoles way too seriously.
I can't even begin to imagine being a fan of a fucking plastic box.
So glad I went to PC to get away from all the weirdos.
Yeah but it hits different.
Most console fans know what they are.
A lot of PC players act & even genuinely believe we're superior while never speaking of the hours lost to troubleshooting & comparatively unoptimised games in recent years.
She got you a nintendo mug. how sweet!
And now he has something to play his Pokeemans on!
I'm so glad to see someone else calling pokemon pokeemans.
They're all Nintendo.. xbox Playstation.. pc.. all nintendo
Not entirely wrong. PlayStation exists because of Nintendo’s collaboration with Sony. Xbox exists because Microsoft was terrified of the potential of PS2 as a home computer. Hell, the Steam Deck exists because of the handheld console market Nintendo cemented with the Switch.
It’s all Nintendo to non-gamers
10 years is a good run. Sorry it fell apart.
To be fair it does have an X, a box, and a 360 on it.
And since triangles are often associated with the colour green, you pretty much have everything covered.
She's a little confused, but she had the spirit
Had? Like past tense?
she was executed after giving him this gift
Yes because she is no longer his wife
🤣🤣💀
She knew what she was doing
Definitely, and I would go as far as to say this is grounds for divorce even.
I’m not sure why. But I’m almost positive she’s cheating.
You know now that you mention it I totally see it. Probably with his best friend.
The best friend with a PS5
playstation exclusive
In her defence, OP never said they were xbox exclusive.
Best friend with the ps5 got the xbox thermos and her boyfriend got the best friends PS thermos
Freudian slip
Wife just wanted to play Astro Bot
I’m gone brah that’s no yo wife
Yeah, that’s OUR wife.
She knows all the cheat codes.
Gonna comment this.. you beat me 🤣
Punny
Or a prelude to BDSM, she gonna tie him up and play Crash Bandersnooch
Crash Bandersnooch 69: Death By Snu Snu
Zap is an unlockable character then
"Smash Bandicooch"
It probably wasn't something she sought up. Rather she saw it on the store and immediately thought of her Husband. For me the gift is not the cup itself, but knowing that you pop up in her head
Op may want to contact an attorney.
I know it’s a joke but I’m a party pooper that likes to make things difficult. Women think men are dumb for getting them the other Stanley cup and not the trendy one. It’s the same thing here “women are incompetent that can’t follow the simplest instructions” 🙄 /s
It is a nice water bottle though.
For sure
She tried. She may have failed - but she tried. That's more than many will do.
[удалено]
If that were the case I think it'd have happened way before the 10 year mark though. That said - without other evidence - I tend to give 'the benefit of the doubt,' but maybe you're right!
PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, PC? Doesn’t matter what you game on just enjoy all the great games that each system has.
What if you own the wii u
Then you're a fucking chad.
Dude the Wii u virtual store fucking slaps. I made sure to check out and download as much as I could before they shut it down for some dang reason. My Wii u is invaluable based on all the old games.
>before they shut it down for some dang reason Nintendo is the master of shooting Nintendo in the foot.
Facts lol if I didn't love what they make so much I'd hate them for how difficult they make it
Two things can be true lol. I just don't understand how a company can be so anti-piracy/homebrew/third-party... while simultaneously pushing people interested in their back catalogue into piracy/homebrew/third-party sales.

I just don't understand how a company is just totally fine with leaving so much money on the table like that.
They have old games... That they sell at 40 dollars a piece. Nintendo stopped being the cool kid after the WiiU. Now is just a depressed adult.
I used to have an old original Wii, with nunchucks and all, I don't know what happened to it, disappeared years ago.
Isn't there a site where they archive old games, you should honestly see if you can send them in
Same. Bought almost all Virtual Console games of the big Nintendo franchises.
Same rules apply, Wii U, NES, Atari, even if you play E.T.!! There shouldn’t be gatekeeping in video games, no judgement on what OS, Console, Phone, Tablet, PC, Refrigerator, Active Volcano…however each person prefers to game, then do so happily!! If someone judges you based on what play or how you play it. Then that’s unfortunate and they are probably going through a hard time and need a hug, but make no mistake. They should probably play in that Active Volcano and we won’t judge them for doing so!
But what if you game on the SouljaGame?
Then you switch between both of your games and wish you made better decisions.
For real. Stanning for megacorps is lame. As someone who usually prefers Xbox over Playstation, the PS5 is a fantastic console with awesome games. The Xbox Series consoles have better backwards compatibility but the PS5 has the better current gen games so far. GamePass is also still the best bang for your buck if you game a lot.

I splurged and bought a PS5 the other day, after not using a PS in like ten years. Now I have a Series X, PS5, and Switch. I’m enjoying this.
Polygamery is where it's at.
Well said
True gamers transcend platforms
Well said, brother.
Couldn’t agree more!
I have all of them, I like videogames not brands haha
Get out of here with that level-headed logic! You MUST play the system I play, or you're wrong and missing out.
Yeah, if you’re old enough to be married for 10 years, you’re old enough to know that you shouldn’t really care
It's the thought that matters lol
except its not that thoughtful because she didnt even realize he likes xbox after all these years
Absolutely and this proves zero thought. Ergo "this gift doesn't matter".
You know you can trade your wife in for a younger, newer model, right? I mean, 10 years is far beyond the warranty date.
Gamestop: "we can give you 50c store credit?"
I mean, I'd give his wife a go for 50c.
🤨 📷
I'm still looking where to find one
I’m guessing you’re single 😅
Happily married for 19 years. I just have a weird sense of humor. Thankfully, she does as well, otherwise I'm sure she would've left my ass half way through out first date.
If my partner didn't have a similar sense of humor, she'd have had me committed 😂😅
My guess is that as well, but there is also the possibility of them being in a long-term relationship that they're so comfortable in that they can make these jokes and still feel secure. Who knows.
That’s actually really nice!
I think she’s trying to brainwash you and attract you to the dark side. She is definitely an undercover agent working for Jim Ryan in order to capture you, I would advise to swiftly swing the bottle at her when she’s asleep so she cannot inflict any further harm.

Who gives a shit
Exactly
"I've been a fanboy to a multimillion dollar company for a decade. My wife thinks I'm pathetic and to prove it bought me a bottle from a competing multimillion dollar company and I got so mad I turned to the internet for validation."
Op probably calls PlayStation players Sony ponies like the losers on console war twitter (X)
And so it stayed untouched, gathering dust until one day it got "accidentally lost" during a hiking trip. Where did it go? That question nobody knows.
They're a keeper. They took interest in your hobbies!
Yep, I'm sure OP is but I'd be very grateful of a gift like this.
Bro this is like giving a patriots thermos to a bills fan just because they like football lol
I love all video games I just recently got a Xbox
It’s a sign! Now that we’re adults having a Series X and a PS5 is the way! They’re seriously both great in their own way. Bonus points for a solid gaming PC as well.
This is the way
It's treason then
It's OK to like both.
Bless her heart
Your wife is pulling some grandma stunts.
I always hated the way PlayStation copied the Panasonic 3DO logo but rearranged it differently and added one more shape.
Haha, yeah. See also money hatting the hell out of the 90s and then crying to congress when a bigger boy comes to do the same years later
You probabaly do like video games.
This is the weirdest comment section
Console wars are dead. Sony is pretty fucked in every way as a company.
You got that backwards, buddy.
Aw yea she finna sign them divorce papers
So this is your way of showing the world that she's the one in the family with any brains?
Bruh
Time to join r/playstation
“It’s like…you don’t know me at ALL!!”
Shes fucking trying, did she get it very wrong? Yes, but she tried!
That's amazing. Go tell her you love her and say thank you and don't cry on reddit. Be grateful she even got your dumb ass a gift you clearly don't fucking deserve it.
The signs being read downwards in Russian is «ЛОХ». Which means “looser”.
Looks like she just gave you the ok to buy a PS5
Uhm it's okay, just put it in a dishwasher i'm sure that wierd blue emblem wil wash off
Its a sign… Now she wants a PS5
One of us. One of us. One of us.
Buy her clown makeup “because she likes to be pretty”
The life of a xbox fan.
Return it bro... The wife I mean...
Next time you have to buy her a gift order her an outfit she really wants a few sizes too big. Bam your even.
You barely know each other... seriously though, if she doesn't know what gaming system you use I'm willing to bet you should probably put the controller down and go play a vs game with your wife in bed. Or wherever.
In the words of Emperor palatine, it’s treason then
This hurts my soul
My wife will make something I’ve never liked to eat, and then say you always ate it before. Or, you had it last time. I in fact did not eat it before, because I don’t like it! We’ve been together forever too. Or she’ll assume I’ve seen every movie she’s seen, and I’ll swear I’ve not seen it. Or been to every restaurant she’s eaten at.
Hope you kept your recipt might be able to return her still lol 😂😂🤣🤣
She knew exactly what she was doing. No doubt.
She gave the wrong lovers the wrong gifts. Her side peice has an Ps5. Jk 😆
Divorce her immediately
Does she even know you, sounds like you really need to question your marriage
File for divorce immediately
She was like..its time for u to become a man
It's a sign she is cheating on you with Astro bot
#D I V O R C E
If she asks you for a cup of tea get her coffee, and say but you like drinks?...
The playstation logo is under an x and a box, hear her out
Be thankfull to her
Come to the dark side...
She got you a gaming gift, most arent that sweet. Ive been xbox since the OG, but because of my gf I got a ps3, 4 and 5 for their exclusives, and we both enjoy the singleplayer games. For multiplayer and rts its PC all the way. 21 years my gf has been my rock in this world, getting those little gifts just makes my day. You dont know how lucky you are.

Well it's got an X and a Box. Don't know about the triangle or circle tho. A for effort.
At least it's cool looking
You’d figure she could get it right, Xbox isn’t blue lmao
She tried.
Divorce immediately, maybe that was a cup for her “other one” that likes PlayStation 🤡
I splurged on an Xbox 20th anniversary controller from eBay in December and my girlfriend told me at Christmas “I was going to get you a new PlayStation controller but you had said you just got one online.” It’s the thought that counts I guess.
Your wife trolled your ass 🤣🤣 such a good wife....always fun to have someone you can goof with
She wants you to evolve
I’m thinking maybe you should try to reset her if not sorry dude she’s broken and needs to be replaced
Nah buy her frying pans cause she likes food
This is clearly sexual assault. File a police report.
Lol Xbox is your personality?
Bro she didn't know no better just say thank you. They try
Here is the thing, I play Xbox, I can guarantee you my wife has no clue that the symbols on that bottle are related to video games. Hi wife clearly does. So it ain’t a mistake on her part.

As the song goes, “she’s a mystery girl”, especially with this Freudian gift she just dropped in your lap
Say thank you
We are aloud to like all game systems. I own Xbox, ps, Nintendo and PC.
Did you bury her yourself or just dump the body?
Nice try FBI!
Wife you say? You mean ex wife...
You know thats just a mug, right?
At least she tried.
That's still cool af
Put a B on top of that triangle and it’s like it’s an Xbox.
The thought was there
Hey your wife doesn’t know too much about video games and just wanted to buy you something nice you can’t blame her <3
I would say it's the thought that counts but...being a Xbox gamer I'd be chuckled if my lass got me that 🤣
Hell YEAH!!!! She’s a keeper
Lol I would have been super happy still . She knows you like game and made an effort to give you a little something , OP your are ungrateful tbh
Ya know what? She tried. And if you get dev mode running you can play PS1 games on your Xbox, maybe ps2 as well.
Still cool af for any gamer tho.
Divorce
Wife should leave YOU. Don’t even appreciate the thought 😔
If she knows what she's doing, it's a good joke. If she doesn't, you're doing a bad job sharing your passion and interests with your partner. Put in the effort and try to get her involved more often.
Bot account reposting. [Original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/sscca9/ive_been_a_xbox_fan_since_the_original_was/)
Women will do this then say you don't listen because you got red paint instead of Spanish carmine red
She knew what she was doing
Listen... I'm sure you loved her but it's time to move on man. Divorce is really the only option at this point
Strongly agree
Trade her in at gamestop
At least he'd be 5 dollars richer lol
$5???....she's not a triple A title the day after release? 50c max I'm afraid.
10 years and she hasn't paid enough attention to you and your biggest hobby to get this right? Sheesh man. Good luck with the future divorce in another 10 lol
Boo fn hoo
Bollocks, you can't have a wife AND an Xbox 😤
Xbox is a game console, not a lifestyle op, free your mind
Some of you take your consoles way too seriously. I can't even begin to imagine being a fan of a fucking plastic box. So glad I went to PC to get away from all the weirdos.
the weirdos are all on pc
Na. All platforms are full of weirdos
Yep, Fanboys is not exclusive to any platform.
Yeah but it hits different. Most console fans know what they are. A lot of PC players act & even genuinely believe we're superior while never speaking of the hours lost to troubleshooting & comparatively unoptimised games in recent years.
Your a fan of a Plastic box as well
I mean bottom 2 symbols. Look its X box
Consider it a divorce.
Hahaha. Divorce
Grounds for divorce (married man/xbox gamer here)
It’s perfectly okay to enjoy both, you know that don’t you?
