Summary:

  • MS is going to talk about Lockhart and Anaconda at E3 and their other various next gen plans.
  • He says MS needs to talk about compatibility(PC getting Xbox Games, xcloud, console games). All these are supposed to work in harmony, and he says MS needs to address this more at E3
  • With next gen coming up, we don't know how all these platforms are going to work together.
  • Xcloud is the easiest to understand by far in regards to all of the platforms
  • PC gamepass needs more clarification from MS
  • MS is making big changes on the back end side of their gaming division.
  • Gamecore will make it easier to move content from device to device
  • Uses halo infinite as an example, do we need to buy Xbox one s editon only and will that work on Scarlett devices? And so on.
  • Compatibility narrative is the biggest question that needs to be addressed by MS by far
  • If they don't clarify it, it will effect sales and bring more confusion to consumers and as a result MS will shoot themselves in the foot.
  • Mentioned how Sony has already mentioned PS4 games will work on ps5. And MS needs to bring confidence to their compatibility narrative

In short: compatibility.

If you buy a game, where will it work? Not just backwards compatibility, but also differences between individual next-gen Xbox models. Project xCloud will provide a degree of seamlessness, of course, but that doesn't apply to locally stored games.
 
Who's this Brad Sams and why Gaf is suddenly obsessed with him?

He's one of the main writers at Thurrott.com (arguably second only to Paul Thurrott himself). He writes a lot about Xbox news and occasionally provides leaks. He has a good track record, IIRC.
 
I like this...a guessing game because nobody's gonna click the video lol.

Me next...

The question is will it release before or after PS4?

What's the price?

What are the new studios doing FFS?

Is Halo Infinite an open world FPS?

Will this next gen phase out the Xbox one X?

Full backwards compatibility with the entire Xbox library from OG to present?

Brad Sams says they have to answer one question....I tend to think all of these are pretty frickin important.

What's the price? too early to say

What are the new studios doing FFS? E3

Is Halo Infinite an open world FPS? that would be really interesting

Will this next gen phase out the Xbox one X? That is a really good question.

Full backwards compatibility with the entire Xbox library from OG to present? og won't happen.

My question will be how many consoles will they release during all of next gen?

When is the the xbox smash game coming out?

How will you entice the Japanese game focused gamers to your platform?

Does 2 come after 1 ?

Microsoft I have ONE question for you.

HOW will you be combatting the dangerous blue laser radiation that emanate from BLU RAYS... PEOPLE ARE DYING.
 
Sorry brad, not clicking a video just to find out the one question.
No, it should be required to post a summary as the OP. A thread shouldn't be created with just a video
These are all excellent questions lol

Check the OP. I added a summary.
 
Does MS risk giving an overly complicated message in their attempt to grow their business next gen?

I think that if Sony comes out (again) with a clear message, one sku and a clear roadmap, then they may well steal the gen once again.
 
I watched the whole thing and I've no idea why the hell he's rambling about for 5 mins. He totally lost me. I think he has a great gift doing that.
 
I said this before and I will say it again, this is the only question they need to adress, and this time with upfront, up there information and gameplay: where are the games? The exclusive ones. The ones outside of Forza and Halo and Gears? You know, the actual shit that might make me buy an Xbox.

Compatibility speak is a step beyond that already. I don't care how compatibility works if there are only two games in their exclusive line up I am interested in: Forza and Horizon specifically.

Make me buy an Xbox, Microsoft. Make me buy it because of the games. The rest is the cherry on top.

Hopefully Microsoft will show you a game that interests you enough, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

If Halo, Gears, Forza, FHorizon, Cuphead, Recore, Sea of Thieves, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, etc... weren't enough to get you interested in Xbox, then maybe Xbox just isn't the place for you. Nothing wrong with that.
 
I like Phil Spencer but everyone else at Xbox is ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
