There’s the trademark persecution complex I’ve come to expect from Xbox zealots. Sony isn’t holding you down no matter how much you want to believe otherwise. You’re not a victim of persecution, you’re a victim of being scammed by Microsoft’s leadership.
That is, XBOX users have to blame MS for SONY taking 3rd party games from them?
Well, maybe then we blame Sony for the fact that MS has removed Bethesda-Zenimax games from PS5 users
No, he is NOT right. In my 40+ years of gaming, I can link every single console I’ve bought to GAMES that made me want to buy the system those games were on. Whether it was the SNES or Genesis, PSX or Saturn, Xbox or GameCube, and so on.
I think you have a problem interpreting what Phil Spencer says.
He's not saying that games don't sell consoles, LOL. He says that for XBOX it's not enough to offer great first party games ......TO BEAT PS5 IN SALES.
Logically, great games are going to attract new users, but you give the examples yourself... Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox etc... They all had great games and yet they were failures in sales compared to PS
Games move consoles. Microsoft should know this from the first half of the X360 era. Coming out and saying great games won’t sell consoles is capitulation, admitting that they can’t create real system sellers anymore.
X360PS3 gen was an exception in many ways and still only served to be third in sales.
Yes, MS made some big hits on the 360 launch, but Sony still made some big botches.
That is not exactly what is happening now and also we come from a generation disaster for XBOX.
As P. Spencer says, it takes a lot more than great first party games for XBOX to sell more consoles than PS.
MS has 23 Studios and 30+ projects in development without counting 2nd party deals. You are going to have exclusive games to enjoy for sure and that will attract new users like you (hardcore gamer)..... That's one thing and another than just having great first party games XBOX can beat PS in a market casual mayoritary.
