Shouldn't we wait about 20 more years before complaining about Final Fantasy VII Remake not being on Xbox? Perhaps it's just following the same time frame the original did.

I am blocked by Jezzz "expert analyst" corden?. I guess some truths can't be handled.
Jezz, Colt and other of their ilk don't like to hear or see anything outside of their echo chamber. Treating Phil Spencer's PR smoke as anything other than gospel, or questioning the cycle of "Wait till" is heresy to them.

I'm certain people on Twitter approached Jez, Colt or anyone else who remotely is a fan of Xbox with well reasoned, thoughtful commentary. The official Xbox account gets them all the time.

"Believe in generations" was really just him saying "I don't want the environment that our successful business model works in to change."

Logically speaking the "correct" thing that should happen is: this deal to be approved and maybe with some condition regarding CoD.
Now. The way these green/blue (but especially green) influencers are reporting this case (and then parroted by pinkies) from an ignorant, fearmongering, misguided position is creating such an absurd discourse.
But why?....to understand this, we must go deeper, and I dunno if the answer is sad, pathetic, or hilarious; the underlying emotion under some people skin is deep frustration, almost or genuine hate against play station.
They see this acquisition as some sort
of panacea for all Xbox problems or what they see: a revenge, a moment of reckoning for the unfair, criminal perpetrator:
The bane of their existence.
They have such high hopes anchored in this acquisition that the outcome is going to be equally underwhelming.
I wonder how such dynamic (which it seems perpetual at this point) has the chance to ever change (at least psychologically) inside the minds of some people.

If COD stays multi it will have zero impact on console sales, a lot of tears will flow.

Marketing is what sells the console, not just the game.
Who ever owns that, would have alot of exposure for their system.

People are angry about all those timed exclusives. That is core of this problem.
They feel like the regulators were silent, about those stuff.
Honestly, it's pathetic that people are angry about these. They need to blame the console owners for allowing this to happen in the first place.
This is the result of MS lack of actions to make those games tied to their system.

You identify them here because the argument has been consolidated. Essentially it's:
"Phil Spencer's PR about COD staying multiplat should be enough for all regulatory boards. But after the acquisition, Microsoft should be free to remove COD from PS because they own it."
Personally, I think removing Kotic from ATVI is a good thing. But in this thread, the side stepping of legal arguments in favour of pr is weird.

Which is why regulators are doing their jobs. They need to held MS accountable for that word.

I cannot believe the lack of impartiality in that tweet. No mention of Nintendo, and no love for the Wavebird - that did wireless controllers first. The nerve of some people!

Whatever opinion you have on this, the best part is the meltdowns the xbox fans are having in the comment section of that post like this is their last hope.
If he said something that showed a preference to Xbox he'd be scared to walk out of his house due to the response. Atleast here he can laugh and go back to being a tool.
What his tweet tells me is the "console war" is a little more real than just Sony Ponys and Xbots going back and forth on the internet. There is a real life impact and people really are that invested in a console. It blows my mind tbh.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
Really interested on whose tears we are supposed to watch out for. Most of us predicted that COD will stay multiplat.
Even Tom Warren, high ranking officer of the green army has had his orders to leave you and your brothers alone in the battlefield. Look to your left and to your right, see your brothers in arms staring into the void, crossing their arms and praying to saint Greenberg for guidance. Repent my son, there's still time.This is ironic when we still have people in denial here about Starfield exclusivity
You okay buddy? Since this deal you have been dreaming too much about COD being made exclusive and Xbox subsequently getting closed by MS. Now I understand that you have been eventually made aware of the reality that COD probably will stay multiplat, but projecting that we are sad about COD being multiplat is too much of a cope.

Realistically speaking it's Nintendo and PlayStation fans that should be concerned over this. I mean why would anyone question the future of COD on Xbox/PC ?
Preferences aside of course.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Buckle up folks we're going to see at least a thousand more dumb tweets from all parties and their respective fans before this is over one way or the other.

Look at the current sales numbers, this game will stay multiplat if this deal goes through
You give people some sort of incentives to play it on Xbox (Like Playstation does now) and have the Xbox logo on every piece of marketing and it will move the needle when people buy their next console

Well that explains everything.
Pretty much. Those individuals were pretty much blinded by their biases that they refused to go a step further before coming to conclusions.

Beautiful. They were all so quick to throw themselves into the fire. All of Microsoft's "industry commentators" were working overtime.

They really are trying to get this guy fired over a personal opinion right?
These people are just insane at this point.

Some people are literally losing their minds over this and it gets worse the more scrutiny the deal gets. It's going to leave a lot of Xbox fans with PTSD at this rate.
If this goes through and Xbox attempt another big acquisition they will all get cold shivers.

Living in a bubble is not a good ideal at this point.
Guy went hard with this one.
This deal is delivering top tier entertainment at this point.
