Only thing missing is them being good games.

What´s the issue with multiplatform games supporting multiple platforms again?

So how about this for a new strategy - honesty and transparency with customers. Then the rumours wont matter.

It's those kinds of comments that really highlight how much more I am looking forward to Microsofts first party output than Sonys.
With what's been announced!
New Fable, Gears, perfect dark, blade and more
or
Ghosts of Tsushima 2.

I have both consoles and here's the problem. While Xbox has looked more promising since 2021 or so in terms of lineup, everything has been just promises and failed promises. Indeed the lineup looks amazing on paper. But then you check the results and: Redfall(trash), Halo Infinite(mid), Starfield(mid), Forza Motorsport(mid), Hellblade 2 (mid).
On paper whatever xbox is trying to sell always looks freaking great. But the end results almost always end up being worse than Sony's poor(on paper) lineup.

I don't think people care anymore for Starfield to be on PS5 in 2024. Regardless, the reason people who were speculating about that is because of the recent moves by Microsoft. So, you've only got MS to blame. Their multi-platform strategy has been a up-in-the-air thing where it becomes a will they or won't they.
I think, if they are doing it, they should fully embrace it.

And Death Stranding. And Wolverine…..

Oh hello, someone with a brain that actually knows what I'm talking about.
I want the games to be good, but for MS lately that has been a tall order.

But you made your proclamation on unreleased games. I get your point, but some past releases being subjectively subpar doesn’t mean the next Fable, Gears, Halo are destined for the same.

They sold a few consoles thanks to their E3 showcases back in 2021 and 2022. They sold me one back then. Some of the games they showed ended up being mid or straight trash, others I am still waiting for them and I will still wait for 1 or 2 more years. Yeah, they won't fool me again. I am very skeptical.

Dude, I own an Xbox Series X, this year I turned it on one time to play Hellblade 2, finished it, cried and turned it off. We need more than mid stuff from MS, we need 360 era MS back ASAP.
Honestly I have very little faith in Microsoft Studios output specifically so because of their corrosive contractor policies. It’s the direct cause of so many of their issues. If a good game comes out it will not be because of Xbox leadership or employment practices, it will be in spite of them. Even the good games, which you can count without a full hand per generation, often feel hollow and reek of failed potential.

Agreed, that why I said, they now just need to be good. As in hope they will. All I want is good games.

This is 100% true. Microsoft haven't had a big triple A metacritic win for what feels like a decade or more.
They need that if they are to turn it around.
Will it come....who knows.

it's been this way since, like 2015.
Anyway obviously all these games are being ported to PS5. Indiana Jones made that clear, and they're not going back especially when Indy sells like 75% on PS5.

The thing is -
Fable was announced in 2020
Perfect dark was announced in 2020
Blade was announced in 2023( with no release date given)
Gears is the only one announced this year( but has no release date).
In comparison:
Sony has announced and released almost all their first party games within that time period, heck astrobot was announced and released in just few months and that is probably going to win the goty.
Ghost of yokei was announced this year and releases next year.
Xbox seems to announce games that are years away just to give people like you the opportunity to say "so many games are coming", your list hasn't changed much since 2020, while Sony seems to be releasing constantly with little time between announcement and release( besides Wolverine, although that might be more Marvel than Sony). I know which I prefer.
And this is with Sony course correcting due to a partially failed GAAS pivot disrupting their typical production cadence. a real shame but it is what it is.

I mean, your initial post was without any context other than “these unrelated games ain’t good”. So, that was your own fault.

They need their first party studios to start behaving like first party in terms of quality. There's multiple parts to this. But technically its as though they just haven't been focused on the console. Halo Infinite still wont run at a locked 60fps and needs VRR - even now it still crashes occasionally. Which is totally unacceptable. Then you have not only Starfield launch at 30fps, but the bullshit justification that went with it.
The last great quality games technically I've seen was FH5 (which for me was a step back from FH4) and The Coalitions Gears 5 and Hive Busters. All released years ago.
I still think there's hope with the new Gears. And Halo moving over to UE5.

At this point I don’t think they know themselves
I think they are still figuring it out, maybe except the hardware piece, as rumours are about 2026 release so it had to be already quite advanced in terms of planning and designing it.

Well, that was not my phrasing, but sure I agree I could have expanded more.

So, how do they do that? with examples?
ANything they say, will not be believed and they cant make concrete statements because it will undoubtedly bite them in the ass.
"all games are coming in 12 months" a game doesnt come and people kick off...a game launches day and date...people kick off.
There is no way to get around internet bullshit and every business will be proven to be liars.
They said x amount of games will come and they did, they then announced Indy....so all we can do is wait for them to officially announce each titles release date for Console / PC and see what they say then, imo

The thing is, Microsoft fans have been only looking forward throughout this entire generation.
I’m thinking xbox portable would be arm based to prop up arm windows. This is MS fight against arm apple.
Sony’s handheld might also be arm based. And both Sony and MS launching a game store on arm windows.

After what happened at the beginning of the year when rumors began that Xbox would start releasing games on PS and many denied it... only to find out in the end that it was true, and even now many are still in denial, of course more Xbox games will come to PS over time.

I definitely see Xbox going full 3rd party publisher sooner rather than later.
Maybe Series X will be the last main console, maybe they have 1 more in them. But I don’t think this is leaving them money, with how much they have spend on studios recently.
Soon enough, the “adults” will come in, look at their dashboard, look at their excel sheets and make decisions.

"Nintendo games are like indies, and worth at most $19" 🤡
Microsoft needs to deny these rumors, but how are they going to deny it if it is Microsoft itself that is spreading these rumors behind the scenes through these insiders. For the day it happens, perhaps in the first half of 2025, people won't have any major reactions.

So they could for example say "we will be bringing a lot of our games to PlayStation and Nintendo. As we will be growing as a third party publisher now that we have so many studios." However we still value our own console players and as such key staple mark franchises like Gears and Halo will remain Xbox and PC only for at least 12 months." There's a reason why my trust is so low with Xbox and its brand is where it is. And it isnt because "every business".

I don't doubt it. I think the remaining question is if they'll get timed exclusivity on xbox/pc and which older titles are they going to bother porting or just going to be games going forward for now on.

Makes perfect sense that MS would want to slow down ports to PS after the negative reaction to Indy.

He isn't saying the games are canceled. Games get delayed all the time.

Sadly Xbox overly monitors those reactions, always have
Maybe if Sony would have paid closer attention to reactions Concord would have been delayed and reworked though
