It's unbelievable to me that a person has posted a laughing emoji under your post, imagine laughing about inflation and the cost of living crisis.
[CNBC] Phil Spencer: We are not putting a pause on acquisitions. Also not raising console prices.

Nope. You're only right if every one of their games is like Minecraft and they clearly aren't

Ignore that poster. The more attention he gets the more he digs it.
He won't post because he knows he will get banned. If you post anything positive Xbox you are getting the lol seal of approval from him.

Insiders were saying that Sony was in negotiations up until mid 2020. So inbetween the announcement and the date where they announced the acquisition you think that there was not a single console build?

I dont understand why people think Microsoft are required to keep COD on PlayStation.
Will playstation make less money without COD? Yes no shit, thats business.

Probably not. TBH.
They might have run some tests, but nothing that could be considered "playable"

They're getting ripped around so hard and fast they can't remember if exclusives are good or bad anymore
Or sales for that matter

I said there was no obligation for MS to release any games on PlayStation. They own the studios they can do whatever they want

Can never say never and all arguments against it are weak right now.
They are going to have a field day in the backrooms as it's an easy home run and Sony keeps digging deeper.
I know it would be fun and games to win so easy.
Lawyers everywhere wish they had a big paying easy home run.

Well, the greedy as fuck platform holder on top who laughably wants to "protect gamers" raised the price of their console and games. Do you really blame people not getting concerned that Xbox might follow?

I love the interviewer. U can tell he is a gamer by these hardcore questions.
However Phil.. like a snake... Didn't answer any question lol. The guy asks him something and Phil replies something not even related.
Interviewer tries again asking the same question but in a different way and Phill still in different world.

There absolutely 0 doubts xbox would increase the price. If there was the same demand you would have a point

Honestly if I am Phill and after this fuckry from "protect gamers" inc. I would remove the 2 years deal and make Cod an exclusive right away. I mean Series S is cheap enough if people REALLY wanted to play Cod. Sony would do that in a heartbeat but somewhat the opposite with the generous offer from Microsoft is "inadequate"… simply fuck off and stop locking stuff and you might get a better offer.

Explain... I thought Phil answered it all very directly.
I must have missed something.

The reality is 2 platform holders didn't and one greedy platform holder did.

As much as ppl say MS could have moneyhatted 70B worth of games they don't really know what that means.
Basically every game for the next 5 years (and then sone) would be Xbox exclusive, and barely cut into it.
I'm sure in the long run they want to see that money go to Activision and not every game ever released.
Just think how many 600k (cooking simulator) and 100m (Rise of the Tomb Raider) deals they could procure with 75B dollars .
It's not a game Sony wants to be playing.

Right? But perhaps people laughing about it just lack empathy.

I appreciate MS growing their internal studios over paying to keep games off other platforms. I also like that he won't be raising console prices. Seems pretty pro-gamer.

Phil protecting gamers from higher console prices. What a chad.

Moderated wildly
They reach more gamers buy putting out more access options. The cloud etc and a cheap barrier to entry with series s. It ain't that hard to grasp.
This is really going to heat up now up until November and Phil is doing a great job in handling these interviews and answering the questions.
Sony definitely are shook and are acting like the big cock in the hen pen scared of losing the territory. Competition is great otherwise we would be having to deal with 70 pound games, a company just deciding to raise the prices on their hardware and wouldn't have a great service like game pass coming along.
I honestly don't care if it goes through or not but I definitely don't respect sonys angle here of acting like they care about their customers now after how they are actually acting this generation. Higher priced games,raising hardware prices in a recession and locking in longer timed exclusivity.....how do they actually care about players in any way? There's no evidence of it. It's the opposite.

Gamers want to pay more to help struggling billion dollar corporations.
This flies in the face of that.

Phil Spencer is the boogeyman that stalks the shadows of the Sony fanboys nightmares. The monster that hides in the darkness. It is his breathing that is heard coming from their closests, the face of the unknown other that their exs left them for. His friendly demeanour a charade, his soothing words nothing but vile lies.
A despicable creature who lives to take away games from their beloved console.

If the deal gets bad ppl will just switch. It's only the "loyal" that get fucked by bad policy.
Then you would have a negative reaction of the type that there was when MS bought the exclusivity of Tom Raider multiplied by 1000%.
If P. Spencer understood anything, it is that the social media and press do not react the same to the purchase of an exclusive AAA Third if MS does it VS if Sony does. We have all seen it too.
MS moneyhating temporal AAA Thirds exclusives by the ton wouldn't make sense from a strategic, economic or social point of view..... Certainly not for Xbox.
If for some reason the acquisition of ACT-BLZ does not happen, I see MS more trying to buy other less expensive big editors (WB,Ubi,EA...) or various independent AAA Studios than anything else.
The objective of MS is to have control over a large catalog of games and IPs, not to sell several million more consoles with temporary exclusives that are very difficult to amortize when you are not the market leader and your user base is not enough for it.

Isn't this the same Phil that last month was saying he hates exclusives and wished they didn't exist.
Grade A clown and liar I'm getting tired of him opening his job; even worse the worship by the cultists here.

IRL console wars. These CEOs have radicalised gamers the same way politics have radicalised the electorate. It's been happening for the last 10 years or so.
The cringe drama between Jim and Phil has been tough to witness but it keeps everyone entertained. A car crash you can't avoid looking at. Everyone looking for an opening and score a goal.
What next piece of dramatic statement will be released tomorrow? It's becoming a "he said, she said" court drama now. Whatevs.

They can only afford to protect gamers if they pay them more for that protection.
and the same company posts billions of profits from the gaming division alone
Not sure I would blame or put the cause on ceo's, we probably had worse and official 'console war' bait comments in the nintendo/sega era.
The internet has made engagement especially ones based on negative feelings easier to game and importantly monetize. That's the cause of it.

He's so full of crap lol and for some reason so many Xbox fans fall for it constantly. I have a Series X, I had a One X, I had multiple 360's, I pre ordered the original Xbox and even beta tested Xbox live so while I'm more into what Sony offers and have been since the start of last gen, I'm still an Xbox fan as well. I am upset about the lack of 1st party output not just this gen but for most of last gen as well, hell even the last 3-4 years of the 360 that focused on kinect, I couldn't care less about game pass to be honest with you. All of these "exclusives" he's getting by buying 3rd party publishers are a joke, we would have had those games anyway and MS could have just paid the publishers to put them on game pass, instead MS went out and bought Bethesda just to keep their big games off of PlayStation and the fact that he's so non-committal about COD for the future shows that his plan was ALWAYS to take it away at some point no matter how he tries to spin it.
