She's just smiling at defeat.She looking good here, younger energetic, lovely name

There's no need for Xcloud when the games will probably be released on their digital stores.
Microsoft already have multiplatform GaaS game like CoD, Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV, now they can release games like Grounded, Sea of Thieves and Forza Motorsport and just keep raking in money from Nintendo and Sony owners with seasonal content.
"permanent".first microsoft next sony.. days of exclusives are over
Sony will thrive more than ever with Xbox gone.first microsoft next sony.. days of exclusives are over

Microsoft
Sony
Thinking this is the solution
Not releasing quality games
No new 1st party games for a year and a half
Release more GAAS trash
Take 5 years to make a game, and its broken on release
Hire more blue haired people
Phil Spencer
Hiroki Titoki
For Sony delayed PC release is simply a means to make extra cash - people know to play a Sony game Day 1 and talk about it with your friends you need a PlayStation.first microsoft next sony.. days of exclusives are over
Man, I remember people saying the exact same thing about Xbox "shaking things up" with gamepass because the gaming industry was somehow stale in 2017. Now look where we are. I'd prefer 2017 back.I'm actually excited to see what Microsoft's plans are. The current dymanic in the console business is stale.
I don't even know who the head of xbox is anymore. Is it Sarah and Phil is head of MS gaming? Why does Phil have "head of xbox" on his twitter?That's exactly what I'd say if I was head of xbox and looked to the horizon. It'd make me the head of everything basically.
MS killed the Xbox brand for the gamepass strategy but now they kind of have to pretend that other things are still 'Xbox' to not make it that obvious their strategy has shrink xbox the console to the point where it's doing worse year after year, gen after gen. Wouldn't want people thinking it's been abandoned and killing all xbox sales quickly though so MS have got to tie other parts of the business like mobile and PC to the 'xbox' branding to try and create this positive buzz about it knowing full well their strategy means what was originally 'xbox' is kind of irrelevant now in the grand scheme of things.
I come on neogaf mainly to have a good laugh after a day of work. Not everybody is full first degree. These are just video games.Cireza,
Are you saying xbox is on life support?
Glad to see this growth from you, I'm proud.
And I'm here for you.
You think they are stopping gamepass?Say goodbye to that rental service you guys flushed all of the money into.

Guess who gets 30% cut out of every game sold on PS Store?Seeing the margins that a manufacturer walks away with trying to support a plastic box has shed new light on all of this.
I'm not surprised in the slightest.
If i posted a 5% profit margin for peak holiday quarter I'd be shown the door.
Just make good games and find a way to look after those that invested in your eco system MS. If you do bad by us that have supported the platform then it's truly joever
It must be hard remaining sane when going between
"See, they've openly said it the whole time. I knew this all along."
and
"Holy shit, they're really going third party. This is a disaster."
Like this:
Because when life gives you lemons you sell lemonade. They're going to use the engagement from the controversy to sell their wares today. There is definitely a shift in strategy happening though. It's the "cash in" phase rather than the "get users" phase now.Why on Earth would a company like MS have a whole ass press thing to say no to a few rumors? This is something that is generally done when a massive shift is happening at a company.

Indeed. Greenberg exudes a lot of the energy that puts me off the brand personally (being overly confident in the products excellence relative to the competitors, overpromising yet failing to deliver a little too many times). It doesn't speak to me but I can see how it does to some.
What's interesting is that it clashes completely with the stance Phil has adopted on an official level (play anywhere, console wars are bad, exclusive games are bad etc.) which sort of leads to a feeling of cognitive dissonace in the whole marketing aspect of the brand.
Actually that pretty much sums up a lot of why I think the brand might be on a downturn - cognitive dissonance permeates the messaging.
One day the Series X is the bees knees, the next day the console is irrelevant because you only need a Samsung TV. One day exclusives are bad and an effort to stifle competition, the other day it's a necessary evil and we need to buy big publishers and make their games exclusive in order to compete.
Wheter they want the consoles to sell or to go towards a more platform agnostic direction you really can't have the cake and eat it too and Greenberg eats a lot of cake (no pun intended).

lol shiiiiiiiiiittttt maybe. We'll see.Because when life gives you lemons you sell lemonade. They're going to use the engagement from the controversy to sell their wares today. There is definitely a shift in strategy happening though. It's the "cash in" phase rather than the "get users" phase now.
I don't believe anyone who says they "knew all along". The messaging from Xbox has been all over the place on these matters with clear conflicts inbetween. I wrote this in November and it pretty much sums up my opinion on how they are handling their PR:
Your need to see professional to talk about your feelings towards Xbox. It’s sounds unhealthy.I hate them
I hate their philosophy.
We all play, we all win, every screen is an xbox.
These are just empty, looser quotes. They can't win so they drag the whole industry with them.
I really think it's time for xbox to die.
They are not competing, they are not bringing anything good into gaming and the industry. They are just hurting it.
360 was a fantastic console. They were really competing. But paid online is still her today and it's their fault. They really lost it in last year or two of 360 and everything after that is a joke.
Sony doesn't need them to compete just as Nintendo doesn't need any competition and still makes good games.
Xbox is such an empty shell of a gaming company and a industry devouring monster, that I am retroactively disliking my 360 and I love that thing.
Goodbye xbox. nobody will miss you.
He is right though, they put on such a weird and arrogant narrative.Your need to see professional to talk about your feelings towards Xbox. It’s sounds unhealthy.

Why they show Palworld in internal meeting…do I smell another acquisition? Maybe they can buy what’s left from embracer and give me another Deus ex game? if they want to become biggest publisher they need more studios /s
