You didn't notice?
He is now the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Gaming.
As in, he knew. He got out of Xbox Division before they were going to jettison the entire department.

Yeah I like playing RE4R, Tekken 8 and Infinite Wealth on it. Baldurs Gate 3 is a banger too.

They will. Theres no reason to believe they won't screw up, it's basically their trademark at this point.

If this happens, the console is dead. The brand might live whomever.

J. Allard, Robbie Bach, and Peter Moore were pushed out of the division. Kinect became the new priority, the folks that made Xbox a successful brand were shoved aside in favor of bean counters worried about maximizing shareholder value. It’s why after Kinect, they kept talking about TV, TV, and more TV.

Will this affect PC? If not, they can continue ass fuck their consumers at will.

I'm not a fan of the Bethesda studio stuff but I know that they do have a big following on PS so it's cool if those games do come for those fans.

Those guys are amazing. Always loved their talks and presentations, and seeing how genuinely switched on they were.

All of us that said Starfield would be on PS5 ended up right in the end lol. Xbox fanboys having an absolute meltdown. Looking forward to playing these games on PS5 when they land.

Well if the information about Oblivion Remaster being made in Unreal is true, there's a chance they might actually use a different engine.

Talk about poor judgement twice.
The Series S being the weaker version of a next gen launch was always a poor decision.

Like I'm pretty sure we heard that Bethesda had to return most if not all of its PS5 devkits after the acquisition. Basically only the Fallout 76 and ESO teams still had them.

Bro the PS4 outsold the Xbox One like 117 Million to 50 million. Clueless idiots really thought things would change this gen when everyone built their digital library on PS4. People weren't going to jump ship like the old days. Now that things are back to normal the PS5 is curb stomping the Xbox just as bad in sales again. Sony has been had no competition for like 10 years now

Yep, Xbox 360 was a gaming machine through and through. I mean, shit. They were going to launch with 256 MB of RAM and Epic Games was like: “this is what Gears of War will look like at 256 vs 512” and then they shipped the console with 512. There were more JRPGs on Xbox 360 in the first three years of that console than there were on PS3. They were hungry.
Then Microsoft threw it all away. Breaking trust and shutting down so many great studios to maximize stock value was the death knell for the brand. They spent so much time trying to repair their damaged reputation this generation, but it was already far too late.

Theyve recently became one of the biggest publishers thanks to getting abk, makes sense to take advantage of that and publish in as many places as possible now.
Theres a lot more money making pontential in publishing for them than by just being focused to 1 console.
Doesnt necesarily equate to the console going away or that stuff will be coming day 1 just yet, it would be a natural progression to get to that point eventually.
There will be less tribalism among community, dope.

Hopefully see a glorious return to releasing more diverse shite like LBP, Dreams and Noby Noby Boy isn't of focusing on the big hitters.
I've heard the loading screens onlyu exists as the game was designed for the PS5s IO chip and SSD (I made this up, but it's probably true)Finally those loading times will be bearable with #thepowerofthessd.
Is he trying to console himself there or what.
You know it's bad when shills gonna start pretending they aren't shills.

Sounds like they are just going to let the other systems users buy their games while they remain free* on gamepass.
The illusion that Starfield won’t do good on PS5 is going to come as shock to some console warriors.

And just like with Sega, it’s all Microsoft’s fault.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
dude, the already have a big fucking reach. Gamepass is available on PC, which has 100s of millions of users….and they ain’t subscribing. Please don’t try to tell me that someone who doesn’t own a console or PC will subscribe to Gamepass via streaming. I bet the number of Gamepass subscribers who’s only option is streaming is likely in the low,
Gamepass has tons of reach and it’s had it for years, yet it remains stagnant…

Time. Its about available time. Its not like netflix where you binge a series in one or 2 nights and be done with it. You play some games for 100 hours or more. How much time do we have to do this?
GP doesn't work. Besides that, the absolute best games (ie. right now Tekken 8 and Infinite Wealth receiving rave reviews) aren't even on GP. So you buy these on top of your sub. And since you play those, you likely dont have the time to use your GP sub.
I can't see in what world GP would truly work. Maybe as a strict indie and arcade platform with small games you want to play but don't want to purchase and own. A bit like Apple Arcade.

People actually thinking GamePass is still any kind of good thing for Xbox really do need their heads tested at this stage.
It’s clearly been an utter failure. You don’t port your biggest exclusive games to the competition if you’re being successful in your current strategy.

Interesting if this comes to be. Breaking the mold for sure and as I have stated in the past, the Xbox team does need to shake things up, as continuing on their current path shows that it will produce diminishing returns.
If the have do preform well on PS5, that additional revenue can be reinvested into development, which is great for gamepass subscribers. They may need to sweeten the gamepass value proposition further, I'm thinking it may be feasible to include DLC. Something to persuade a customer to stay subscribed after they complete the base game content. Obviously this wouldn't be doable on Starfield, as they already sold what amounts to gamepass upgrades for the game.

Some PS owners are. They don't have gamepass.

Well, they normally get the shills out early to soften the blow of the really bad news. So it's either no more xbox consoles or everything will have a short period of beta testing on series x before being released fixed for PS5

Just port Forza Horizon 5 and Ori games, keep the rest. Start fresh.

Adding my thoughts to this:
They had an opportunity to right the ship during the Xbox One era IF their tent pole exclusives were amazing. It didn’t help that Halo 5, Gears 4 and Gears 5 weren’t that great. Gears 5 didn’t become a good game, really, until Hivebusters. They had long droughts between exclusives and then when they’d release they were just… meh. The only consistently good exclusives were Forza Horizon.
The hole dug from Kinect through the Xbox One era was deep and they hoped they could claw their way out of it with Game Pass, then launching their budget console along side their premium console. When that didn’t work, they turned to massive acquisitions which haven’t paid off either.
Everything since the back half of the X360 era has been a comedy of errors worthy of a Coen brothers movie.

I bought an Xbox, multiple X360s (LAN gaming FTW), XB1 (goddamn disappointment), and the XSX always thinking that this would be the generation MS turns the ship around. Thought they were honestly going to do it too with the XSX but guess not.
Goddamn, now I'm sad again.

10 million will be hard considering the game is old by the time it releases on PS5, will be full priced for sure and has had bad word of mouth since release on Xbox.
This game should've released multiplatform day one, getting those front loaded sales before people saw it for the dumpster fire it actually is.
