Xbox Has "So Many Games" It's Having Trouble Scheduling Releases, Says Matt Booty

Xbox is apparently having trouble deciding what games to release when since it has too many games in development and ready to ship.

www.dualshockers.com

The Dualshockers team was able to witness the event live, and Matt Booty made quite an interesting comment during the event. He added that Xbox has a plethora of games in-store, which is making it quite difficult for them to plan releases and they are having some trouble due to that. He further adds that all their teams have been working extremely hard, and appreciate the support from fans all across the globe. Considering the number of games that was shown in the showcase itself, the next year does indeed look quite packed for Xbox, and could be very exciting for Xbox fans.

Not going to go down well.

I would like to see the actual quote though

PS if he has said exactly that, I can 100% understand the frustration of some gamers (personally still my chunk of value and some)

I believe him, I'm sure they are having problems scheduling 2022 games

Oh god I think i get the quote now.
They have to wait for all these games to finally be ready and when they finally are ready they’re all going to be ready at the same time. Hah

 

[Rykan]

It is very difficult to schedule releases when you have no idea when anything you're working is ready for release.

Newsflash to Microsoft: It's been so long since you actually launched a bunch of good games that your players don't care if you launch all your 1st party games on the same day... just release SOMETHING!

How long has it been since tunic again?

 

[yurinka]

Booty has been very busy scheduling their 2022 games. Yeah, sure.

 

[Roufianos]

2 games in 2 years? Fuck off, while things will obviously get better in 2023 and beyond, this is a terribly timed quote.

How long has it been since tunic again?

How did Xbox launch Tunic?

They had a 6 month exclusivity agreement.

What part of Tunic is 1st party again? It is a timed exclusive.

 

[Orbital2060]

I can imagine how it will be tough in the next few years to line a bunch of AAA games up and have them all hit well in the market/audience, as day 1 on game pass. There will most likely be a new AAA game every three months or so, but even that may be too slow now with all of the studiios they got.

 

[GHG]

Spin doctors at work once again. Every fucking generation.

 

[Companion Cube]

Wasn't Booty the one that said something equally poorly worded or contradictory to something Spencer had previously stated?

 

[drezz]

Thats straight ut a lie.

Oh so timed exclusives no longer matter? Ok then.

Stretching pretty hard there

 

[Mister Wolf]

This will be more of a 2023 problem for them.

They never have to me, but they certainly don’t count as the platform holder ‘launching’ the game. Just moneyhatting it.

 

[Pelta88]

More meaningless PR.

 

[Gojiira]

Just sounds like more excuses trying to justify how poor their lineup is.
Too many games? Is that a joke?
Too many on gamepass pushing the narrative sure. But too many games? No MS have a quantity over quality problem.

Tell him that Sony launched Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo and watch him get an aneurism.

[skit_data]

Maybe in 2023-2024 and onwards but in the context of this year this comes off as sounding pretty stupid.

He must be taking about next year and onwards. Having starfield and redfall slip must have had an impact on what was planned.
