Xbox has no plans to quit hardware. Satya said at the quarterly earnings call that Xbox console users "record high."

Yes, heard some games are going multiplatform.

Response imo in part to Steam Deck having both PlayStation/Xbox "exclusives" and Steam Deck 2 being more powerful.

If they release Starfield or any of those other big titles on PlayStation then it's over. Why would someone feel the need to buy their box? For the rental service? And miss out on having your games and Sony's games? Not happening. There are a lot of smart-dumb dudes in this industry making crucial decisions.
 
HA!

I told you Microsoft wouldn't be leaving the console space and going full third-party!

I knew these rumors were BS..I should have put a huge bet on it.
 
If they gradually release all of their major exclusives to PlayStation, the end result will be either the end of consoles or future Xbox "consoles" will end up being a stream of underpowered boxes like the Series S that are there for digital libraries, BC, Game Pass and xCloud streaming.
 
My guess is that Nadella and the board of directors have told its gaming division that the status quo isn't delivering what Microsoft expects, and so the gaming division is holding intense strategy sessions where every conceivable idea is being thrown at the wall and considered. Leaks are happening and ideas under consideration are being reported as about to happen.
 
Of course they a re not leaving the console market. They are expanding in it by making their games available on all consoles. :messenger_winking_tongue:
 
Obviously. If people think they're quitting the console market, you are just overreacting to all the rumors about Msoft opening up their software to competitor platforms.
 
That's nice, but given the choice, €500 can get me an Xbox, but €500 can also get me a PS5/6, with the same Xbox games and all first--and thirdparty exclusives.

Wow, what a choice.
 
He is correct about one thing…A "Brave New Gaming World is Coming".

I bought a Steam Deck and not only play PlayStation and Xbox exclusive titles on it, but I can play so many of my older games as well. On Top of all of this, with my family situation being what it is, I can pull it off of the dock and go into another room without a TV and still play whatever I want to play. Gaming today has gotten so convenient.
