There you have it. They are going to double down on the third party strategy.

 

[Crayon]

It's only more games.

 

[Montauk]

This will not end well.

 

[Humdinger]

"I want to do the journalistically responsible thing" and not follow up on what you just said, and instead change the subject... Granted, Ryan did ask a relevant question (about the studio closures), but when Phil says something like that - "You're going to see more of our games on more platforms," and the crowd obviously reacts - you need to dig further. Don't just drop the subject.

Makes sense why none of their titles said "exclusive" at the event when they've been so proud (rightly so, regardless of game quality) to shout it from the rooftops in years past.

Someone get Ryan Mccaffrey an asthma pump.

 

[RoboFu]

If they all look as good as the ones shown today then that's good news for everyone.

 

[DryvBy]

Where is my Rare Replay and Halo, Phil?

Was any game revealed to be multiplatform at this show?

Was it just doom?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

He no longer sees a path forward to being a dominate force sales wise with hardware

Will keep selling to a niche market and try to make more money from other platforms they aren't getting on Gamepass

Looking forward to all the "exclusives are damaging" posts and tweets .

I'm not surprised really, a co worker on Major Nelsons podcast years ago said he felt this way …"he would put all the content on everything if he could"

for as much as I remember that being said, I can't fucking remember who exactly said it.

The narrative from their subservient soldiers on social media will be on the others to follow suit in a substantial way.

Personally I think it devalues the console side of things and if they had been doing far better in the market , and it's on him and his teams that they are not, they might not of went the way it has this soon.

 

[analog_future]

Good!

 

[Quasicat]

I love using my Xbox Series X and also have a Steam Deck for everything else, including Sony titles. I'm all for this if it means more people get to play games that would be exclusive otherwise.

We already know this, he doesn't need to reiterate it.

Report this man for murder. This killed me.

 

[intbal]

This was never in doubt.

Once the Axis of Evil saw how much money MS spent on ABK, they stepped in to make sure they got that $70 billion back as quickly as possible.

 

[DeepEnigma]

The timing of Polygon's turf article a week or so ago.

 

[Raven117]

Oh, they will probably make some exclusive for a few months to move a few consoles they put together, but otherwise, they are going multiplat.

It's all good.

Phil's already ahead of the curve on that one

Tell that to the Xbros here. They think there's a plan that involves exclusives for Xbox.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

This is going to give a lot of warriors sleepless nights

Straight from the horse's mouth this time.


Xbox is officially a third party publisher bringing their games to as many platforms as possible. Great news for MS but will probably spell disaster for their consoles.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Gears and Halo on PS5

He's not too smart, is he?

But I though PC was Xbox that that Spinster likes to bullshit to the "press."

Well, unlike all their previous events, not a single game got labelled 'exclusive'.
Obviously doesn't mean they're all mp, but the messaging has changed.

Microsoft has timed exclusivity for some third party games. Like Stalker 2 (3 months?).
Aside from that, I suspect all of the first party games will release with at least some lead time on Xbox first. But probably not more than six months.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Because, as good as some of these games are, hardly anyone who is exclusive to PS is a going to buy an Xbox for what was shown today

 

[Kilau]

Sounds like a man with a business to run.

They do lots of early access games so I'd expect when the games are finished, PS5 fans will end up making them cheddar.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

This kind of thing violates our rights.

I like the Xbox but if it's going to become full third party, just cancel the console then and stop fooling us.
don't give us xbox white etc

Ryan wil be breathing out his ass soon enough at the rate Phil's going.

Although he should be already at this point considering all the dick riding he's been doing over the years concerning Xbox.

 

[intbal]

I don't know who that is.
I don't follow gaming media.

[Moridianae]

Because it's not fucking sustainable, Jez and its cost several developers their jobs. I seriously hate that guy.

Xbox made a lot of mistakes. Top brass at Microsoft(not Xbox) want money. How they get it doesn't matter to them and that means a lot of things go to PlayStation or Switch/Switch 2.

Yet they keep the people who played a part in those mistakes

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

I imagine that MS is trying to sell a lot of Xboxes at the end of this year, if it doesn't work out, the future is to abandon the market as a manufacturer.
it's over xbox is now just an ephemeral product

"But if you're an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists."

February 15, 2024

"We've made the decision that we're gonna take four games to the other consoles," Spencer said of the news. "Just four games, not a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy. We're making this decision for some specific reasons.

Reddit made a list.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Truth be told I can't really say I give a shit. I am looking forward to Doom and Expedition 33 more than any exclusive and that show was quite good.
