You're welcome.
Now that's out the way, let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming in time for the weekend.
Out of all the Xbox used car salesmen/shills, this Colt guy really is the biggest one, the cunt-y vibe he exudes is really something else, absolutely obnoxious twat...

Exactly.
Hi-Fi Rush went into my Steam Wishlist nearly 16 months ago. It's currently on sale as well. But I don't think the game is worth $10. I may buy it if it ever goes to sale for $2, but that's about it.
By that point, though, it will have been given away on PS Plus.
The only XGS games that were ever worth full price were Ori 1 and Ori 2.

You know. I've seen this whole shit about they say xbox sucks but they want their games shit. I can't speak for everyone but fuck I said on a former offshoot at the beginning of this gen I'm sick and tired of buying multiple consoles every gen. I honestly just wanna play games. So I've been for consoles being more like light pcs for years now. Give me God of Wars, Spider-Mans, Halo's, Gears of Wars, Twisted Metals, Mario's etc all on a console together. Hell I'd spend up to 500 bucks every 5 or so years just for all that.
I know I know. I'm the minority cause everyone has to champion their companies they support. Not me. These assholes ultimately don't give two shits about us. They just want our money.

So true.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Everyone wants to play games from the biggest and best publisher, it's understandable.

Except it's own fans of the platform. Hence, why they went third party.Everyone wants to play games from the biggest and best publisher, it's understandable.

Hellblade 2's price on steam is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody is about to drop 4399 Indian Rupees on a glorified walking simulator. Even the discounted price of 3519 INR is too high. I can pre-order Space marine 2 for 2799 INR, why will I purchase this PoS 'game'? It should have released at 20$ and discounted to 10$. Why they let a team of 120 people in an expensive city like Cambridge work on this turd for 5-6 years is a blooming mystery. Also, in what universe is NT worth 120 M$, when a 2 studio company like Insomniac cost only around 200 M$? I do not know why the shareholders do not rake Satya and Phil over the coals and demand concrete profit statements about the Xbox division. The Xbox division is run by a bunch of degenerate gamblers that seem to have zero knowledge of game dev.Exactly.

Get a PC then - this new narrative "everyone should play all the games!" and "exclusives don't matter" is just a coping mechanism and bullshit PR started by you know whom since every other plan they had failed and now they're trying to put the usual bullshit spin to it...
There's a reason why Nintendo consoles sell a fuckload - same with Sony, the only "competitor" that doesn't it's because of very specific reasons - I suppose exclusives matter until they don't (for some)
case in point :

Do you really believe that the entire reason for the Zenimax acquisition was predicated on Starfield?
Nah. Guaranteed a lot more went into it and behind it than that. Certainly BGS future output in general was a big get for them, but even at the time during the approval process and even before, they'd already left the door open to not necessarily make everything an automatic Xbox/PC exclusive. Not including games that already had existing agreements.

That is one reason that's confirmed.
Maybe there's more, but it's hard to decouple the overall strategy they had since 2020ish from the outcome that Starfield had (decent initial sales on PC, nonexistent impact on Xbox's fortunes). If Starfield moved units back then we wouldn't even be in this thread.
From his FTC testimony:
Phil Spencer Admits Xbox Was Worried About Losing Starfield to PlayStation
Phil Spencer confirms that he was worried PlayStation could have grabbed the exclusive rights to Xbox’s biggest title of the year, Starfield.

”Jump in” ?Everyone wants to play games from the biggest and best publisher, it's understandable.
More like Jump Out.
For real, help me understand their plan.
Who would benefit from ”jumping in” at this point?
I used to main Xbox, now I’m on PC, 100% because of the normalized ports. No regrets. And this is going to happen among console-only gamers now, Jump Out from Xbox and Jump In to Playstation.
Also, once Xbox is truly dead the Gamepass numbers will drop, because Sony won’t allow Gamepass on Playstation and PC gamers rather use Steam.
And they’ll lose a 30% cut from both first party and third party games.
Make it make sense.

70% of a lot of sales is better than 100% of hardly any.

Got to love the spin - the games made all the money they can on Xbox, PlayStation can get them now.
Are videogame fanboys always this delusional?

Starfield was a reason to get Bethesda.That is one reason that's confirmed.

It wasn’t expected to move units. Its a GAAS title that will peak like Fallout 76.

Rubicon was crossed when they released day and date on PC. That was the warning.
Very simple, console manufacturers: Actual Exclusive Games is the only thing you really have to legitimize your platform.

The sales numbers won’t increase in a meaningful way with the delays. FH5 came out in 2021. Are they going sell it for $60? $50?
We know this won’t work out well from everybody doing timed exclusivity on multiplats. It only add negativity to the talks and remove potential customers from the equation, then the excitement is gone when the timed exclusivity goes away and at best people wait for discounts. It doesn’t work.
All that will happen here is them getting pocket money while losing games that has made the ecosystem seem somewhat relevant.
And if they’re going for a hardware agnostic digital ecosystem platform instead they need to drop the Steam versions and make games exclusive to an account and launcher. Which they’ve already tried and we know from those still doing it that it don’t work, everybody comes back to Steam eventually.
I guess Gamepass is their real platform now. But it’s honestly a major anchor for the excitement around a release no matter where they try to sell a game. It’ll lower sales on platforms even where Gamepass don’t exist. I’m supposed to pay $60 for this thing that this other guy gets for free on a subscription they got dirt cheap?
So what’s their plan here? Short term gain, longterm destruction?

I'm referring to certain consumer perspectives. There are still a lot of people out there who don't really grasp what is happening. Many don't keep up with this stuff the way we do. But, the moment you see Forza, Halo, or Gears, to a lesser extent, on PlayStation, that's the moment the more casual Xbox fans and the super hardcore holdouts finally get the message. I don't think Xbox is ready to do that yet. I think they still want a few more years to launch new hardware first. Hook people into the eco a while longer.
I don't disagree with your assessment as it pertains to most folks like us.

A lot of the more corporate aligned xbox influencers are onboard with the ports and are trying to calm them down. That's after spamming "just buy an xbox" pics of "exclusive" games trying to make it a meme prior. I guess it was the last marketing push before realising xbox console sales just aren't working.

We really need to discuss the extremely online advertising of Xbox.
Never seen a brand so determined to only market itself to its weirdest consumers.

Highly unlikely, if I have to guess.
It'd be a PR disaster if they revealed the game as an Xbox/PC exclusive, only to announce it's also coming to PS5 a few months before its release. It'd be extremely hilarious though, so I'm all for it.

I remember when some people were hoping their little hearts out that CoD would be exclusive to Xbox. So many "you don't spend $79 billion to put your games on the competition's platform". I also have no doubt that Phil's original plan was for more than just Zenimax's titles too. That attitude is exactly why it's so satisfying seeing games now being released on Nintendo and Sony platforms.

If Jez said it, it's probably not true.
It would be hilarious if it turns out that Spencer bought Xbox exclusivity of an original multiplatform Indiana Jones just to release it multiplatform. Disney must think that Xbox executives are the dumbest fuckers in town. Disney will still cash the cheque.

Makes a lot more sense than Flight Sim, Halo, Killer Instinct, etc
Indiana Jones is the type of game that the Playstation audience likes
My bet is Starfield or Indiana Jones

There won’t be an ecosystem to hook into in a few years. All their games are on Steam and people already know that’s where the best versions are, plus mods, and nobody likes the Microsoft Store launcher. And the games that gets ported to Playstation will run better on PS5 Pro than Xbox Series X from this year forward. If all they have is timed exclusive inferior versions for console-only gamers then things will go south fast.

I expected Indiana Jones to come over, just not confirmed that quickly.
But Disney wants their money, and locking into a system with Game Pass having made it where customers just don't buy anything anymore and currently abysmal console sales probably caused them to say "Nah, it's gotta go over."
Still wouldn't be surprised if it's Starfield, but I'm guessing they're waiting til after the DLC to do that one.

Yes because price and convenience isn't a reason to buy anything.
