But that's the thing. I don't believe it's a test of anything other than how well prepped they've got their existing subscriber/fanbase. It's not money in the here and now, it's not magic sales data, it's just easing people into the idea of exclusives not being a thing 5+ years from now. HiFi RUSH could work well with the controller, I agree with that, and it's great that a decent game is getting more of an audience.
Absolutely. I'm seeing lots of meltdowns from the blue team and more salty comments as to why Xbox players aren't upset when they should be. Lol
I did. Just watched it. They were clear as day on everything and spoke facts.You apparently didn’t watch it
Its a 1st party studio. Reporters asked Disney and Bethesda and got no answer. Thats not even speculation. Thats basically confirmation.
TimDog is it you?
Those $1 subs started expiring
That's the other thing, the user base simply doesn't warrant locking up 3-4 AAA games to it, even if gamepass wasn't a thing.
I'm laughing at you guys trying to spin this into bad newsSeriously mate you're a fool just admit it, you'll feel better
Not the level of hit they need to make much of a dent in the GP deficit. For that they need heavy hitters. All depends on how they have revised internal targets. If they are say trying to balance out a miss on say a target of 50 million GP users you are talking a hole billions deep. Like perhaps 3 or 4 billion annually. Thats a lot of hifi rush type games to sell on other platforms. Even at the wildest sales projection you would probably need 10 or more a year assuming say 5 million sales.
Confirmation of what...that Blade isn't exclusive?
This is the best post in the thread, and there's been some good ones! It really sums up the whole evening for me, kudos! <3
They announced it years early to promote the game thats barely in development. If it is exclusive you flash it at the end of the trailer as a huge selling point to sell consoles. They not only didnt do that but avoided direct questions about it twice and didnt mention it today either. You have to use your brain eventually and assume they arent telling people the whole truth when they've declined multiple opportunities to clarify.
The irony lol
What they want to see is simple: Can I get respectable sales (not amazing) with a delayed release tactic? They're doing this to add to margin not for volume (for now), the Xbox division is fighting for its survival and is trying to find some sort of middle ground with Satya.
It really doesn't matter. These releases alone do massive damage to Xbox as a platform.
You think I’m a blue member?
the bullet points were an answer to this:
to point out that the talking points in the presentation are things that they are already done.
Some are in the denial stage: "phew it's only 4 games and then they'll stop the multiplatform releases".
Yeah finally getting some good games this year now
Yes the irony
Do you listen to the CEO of Xbox, President of Xbox and the Head of Xbox game studios or some random Xbox insiders and the clowns who frequent Gaf? 
i bet. the "cycle of violence" must endure.
So, are people going to accept what they heard from Xbox today or is there another conspiracy agenda to push
That sounds great on the surface…but let’s break down the simplicity of them putting any, literally ANY exclusives on another console. Testing waters is fine…but they aren’t testing anything other than Xbox fans patience with those 4 supposed games. This is clearly a slow trickle to the inevitable, and only people who turn a blind eye to business see it as any different.
Its more than that though. Not only are they missing targets on GP, they keep making the pie bigger with acquisitions. Those have to at least make the return they were making before MS bought them. MS automatically gut revenue by putting them on GP. They assumed they would recover that revenue with increased GP subs and so far that is definitely not happening, or at least nowhere near how much it needs to. Doesn't that kind of compel MS to make the money elsewhere.
