Xbox Series X Collectible Card loool
Yeah i think some poeple need to watch the Phil interview with CNBC, he pretty much said they will honour the constarcts they have with PS5 but Bethesda has been bought for 'the Xbox community' going forward.
Interesting. Lets see how MS will fare with their approach. Netflix of gaming could be nice but I don't see how that can be profitable. You have to give people an incentive to stay subscribed. A game that is in developement for multiple years and people can just subscribe for a month and play it for 10 bucks? Makes no sense. A lot of things about to change in the gaming space
Reason to comment? I mean why Sony needs to comment in others acquisitions? It is unrelated to them.
I think you failed to see my point yet again. I'll try one last time.because yours is limited to binary one probably
did ms said it's the end of physical / digital copies ?
there are lot of different poeple with different tastes and context to want a specific game.
Do you see any of what I said as mental gymnastics?Im not pissed at all. I just dont follow this mentality and mental gymnastics people do to justify it to themselves. Most arguments stem from games have never been cheaper due to inflation which is true with about ******* after the statement.
The 70 price tag isn't going to magically fix all of these issues that publishers and developers complain about either if you are using the inflation argument because its still not even close to what they "should" cost with that logic in mind.
What will be the excuse now that games will continue to have MTX and be built as a GAAS?
He's leaving it open...Well i'm on about the part after, the fact that he says once those contracts have been honoured, Bethesda has been bought for the Xbox community and now they have 23 studios that will be producing games for Xbox.
You dont need to be a pshychologist to get what he's saying here.
By saying they bought Bethesda for the Xbox community going forward?He's leaving it open...
did you missed the part that, from now on, they are first party studios.I think you failed to see my point yet again. I'll try one last time.
I don't see a reason to do it, of course there will be people that will ending up buying the thing.
Out of a 100, how many people will actually buy it, instead of subscribing to gamepass for a month to play it?
And I'm not considering the current subscribers. It will be for sure a lot less than 100M+ potential customers on PS side.
Will the game sell 100M+ copies? Obviously not.
But as publisher, you'll want to either have the money upfront, to keep it exclusive to a platform or to reach as many people as you can.
If they even sell one of these society as a whole needs to rethink some things. WTF.![]()
Do you see any of what I said as mental gymnastics?
If you do, I'm sorry and I'll keep my replies to a minimum, as I surely don't want to be associated with a certain shark.![]()
By saying they bought Bethesda for the Xbox community going forward?
Its the hope that kills you.
strangely today he's not the one creating xbox news threads
probably content is not to his liking![]()

He never says that though in the interview. That dumbass on Twitter said that, but he didnt get it from the CNBC interview.By saying title-per-title basis...
crazy thing is also that Microsoft is releasing more exclusive games this year on PS5 than they do on xbox seriesX/ hahaMicrosoft have acquired Bethesda, this is HUGE!!
I do not know what Sony will do, Microsoft now has more games and more studios than Sony, and they have BANGER HUGE exclusives, not just smaller games.
This is how you flip the roof on the competition LOL!!
MS have been deliberately very ambiguous on exclusivity. If they were certain about it, they'd be shouting about exclusivity from the rooftops but so far they have been quite vague. I think they are waiting to see how the gen plays out. It's no good dropping 7.5 billion on a company just to delete more than a third of the company's revenue just like that. MS may be rich but they still answer to their shareholders. It all depends on how intensely MS wishes to go in on Game Pass.
It's also worth noting that nothing is finalised yet and allowing Bethesda to make some multiplatform games could be one of the deal breakers (as many studio bonuses are tied to sales). I don't think that is too likely but it's just one of the many potential factors in play here.
Minecraft has a completely different public (kids), install base (200 million people) and economic model (microtransaction fest). Minecraft grosses billions on its own while costing them nothing for development and maintenance, no individual Bethesda game is even close to being such a guaranteed moneymaker.Minecraft called and claimed "money is money".
I want one, but they don't sell it here...If they even sell one of these society as a whole needs to rethink some things. WTF.![]()

Ori isn't a strong indicator though. More Moon studios than MSEven if that's the quote to hold on to,it's like saying: "We'll see", there's no commitment at all, and if Ori is an indicator, well it should be better to keep low the expectations
Got a link?He said that in the interview with Bloomberg
Got a link?
Ori is an indie game.Even if that's the quote to hold on to,it's like saying: "We'll see", there's no commitment at all, and if Ori is an indicator, well it should be better to keep low the expectations
Sony doesn't have that amount of money. You don't spend a third of your cash on just 1 gaming studio...power move. i wish, Sony would have the guts to do the same. they have plenty of money to do something similar. lets see what future holds.
never was a fan of timed exclusivity, Sony better spend those money on buying some good studios like m$ did here. f epic staff. it is ground breaking really in gaming world.
The first half of your message conflicts with the second half.Sony doesn't have that amount of money. You don't spend a third of your cash on just 1 gaming studio...

Microsoft to Buy Bethesda for $7.5 Billion to Boost Xbox
Microsoft Corp. said Monday it plans to acquire ZeniMax Media Inc., owner of the storied video-game publisher Bethesda Softworks, for $7.5 billion in cash, marking its biggest video game purchase ever.www.bloomberg.com
Spencer said in an interview. Future games, like Starfield, will be available for Xbox, PC and Microsoft's Game Pass video-game service. "We'll take other consoles on a case-by-case basis," Spencer said.
Playstation need to keep their heads down and continue producing benchmark graphics like this. Cannot get enough of this trailer! And this is the performance mode, we have yet to see this game in fidelity mode.
Microsoft hates money.He does say it -
It doesnt sound very convincing to me though. Why some and not all?. It sounds more to me that the bigger games, the Fallouts and Elder Scrolls, Dooms, games seen as potential system movers, would be kept for Xbox, and smaller games released for other systems.
Hell they may be talking about Switch only to be honest.
Hope? I've played one of their games in last 6 years...I could care less. Microsoft isn't taking a 7 billion dollar haircut to reduce the market for the multi-plats over 50 percent. The decision hasn't been made otherwise we would hear definitive close-ended statements on the Xbox exclusivity.By saying they bought Bethesda for the Xbox community going forward?
Its the hope that kills you.

I don't think that will happen. They have to pay for that 7.5 bill acquisition. Just selling to gamepass Xbox and pc means they loose money.
this needs to be removable if you don't use the thing vertically.![]()
LOL @ the bottom of the XSX stand.
this needs to be removable if you don't use the thing vertically.
this needs to be removable if you don't use the thing vertically.
No idea.. but I don't see why it wouldn't be. Guess some people will find out.... in .. November?
so they don't have that kind of money, yet it is third of their cash? very logical sentencesSony doesn't have that amount of money. You don't spend a third of your cash on just 1 gaming studio...
Wasn't there a thread about the rumour of Sony buying them? Would love to see if there was any anti-consumer comments in that thread.It's funny how we are constantly told how this forum is full of Sony fanboys. Microsoft buys a studio and all the Xbox fanboys are uniting and making stupid threads again.
this gen hardware presentation is best ever seen.... /sNo idea.. but I don't see why it wouldn't be. Guess some people will find out.... in .. November?
