I appreciate your ingenious predictions.As foretold in the great prophecy
Xbox as a console brand seems to be really dying lately can Scarlett change that or will it be a short lived project?
There was more hype around Xbox Scorpio than there is around Scarlett , Xbox One X started off with a nice push from Microsoft but it seems like they quickly gave up on it you can get a Xbox One X for $402 right now but no one seems to care that it's $97 off . You can get the Xbox One S A.D for...www.neogaf.com
Post in thread 'Xbox FY23 Q4 gaming revenue increased 1% year-over-year (HW down 13%)' https://www.neogaf.com/threads/xbox...r-over-year-hw-down-13.1659152/post-268225206
But please, add some picture to your account.

I wonder if that will influence their competition in any way. Game pass was downplayed by Sony and now both PlayStation and Nintendo have their own subscription based libraries. Maybe their shareholders wanted them to create that revenue stream. Same could be said about porting games to PC...
I wouldn't be surprised if its a start of wide industry shift. Unlike the big guys we don't have the data to make any educated guess on how releasing your products on different platforms influences your own console ecosystem. We can only guess.

I had my picture as my avatar for years just never cared to update it after a website update removed the old images , but now I'm happy with the green O so it stays lol
You know that’s the CEO of Microsoft, right?
Sony had PlayStation Now since 2014
That doesn't say much since most his comments historically show he has no fucking clue about gaming or the console industry. He's propped up by other Microsofts succesfull long running and tested strategies. Gaming is an after thought. Unless he is playing 4D chess and has some grand plan, but I doubt it.

Yes, if you have absolutely no game(s).

You know he has himself removed Gamepass sub growth as part of his compensation when they couldn’t reach the numbers they wanted?
This is the smartest move Xbox has made since Kinect , they let the hardcore fans punk them out of going all in on Kinect & now Amazon & Google is enjoying the hands free smart home benefits.

Thank you, please screenshot your post to show us your prophecy when it comes true.
It was always PlayStation, Nintendo let Atari linger around with all there mishaps but PlayStation came & cleaned house , Jaguar was done , Nintendo let Sega play around PlayStation came & slapped Saturn around like a bitch then killed Dreamcast with the shadow of PS2 coming , even Nintendo had to duck direct competition with PlayStation home consoles. Wii & Switch are the results of playing it smart bringing something different to the table instead of going head to head with PlayStation in the console market.
Xbox flew too close to the Sun

Probably during their next "not-E3 showcase."
I also think PlayStation fans will also get one or two surprises during their January Direct. All of this chatter is obviously in preparation for what's to come soon.

Xbox wasn't killed, it committed suicide with the Xbox One.

They’re already there on Geforce Now, you’ll have to pay $3k or something like that to have the same visual fidelity at home and that’s far beyond home consoles.
But if they reached above even enthusiast PC gaming, yeah maybe, then they could possibly have a selling point, assuming it’s not as expensive as it is today ($20/month for GFN Ultimate)
But GeForce Now is still renting you PC games that you could play at home the key would be giving people something they couldn't get at home.
RockStar or Epic will probably pull a move like this with the next GTA or Fortnite spinoffs.

Phil's comments of "no red lines" was even more of an indicator of how soon new ports will be announced. I don't think he would have said that unless stuff was immediately on the horizon. I'm guessing January, but probably not at their yearly direct. That would be overly cruel to their fanbase if start dropping PS5 monikers at their own Directs. It will happen eventually, but not yet, imo

Exactly this. My guess was The Game Awards. They didn't announce any big one there, but they did walk back on The Outer Worlds 2 exclusivity and announced that it's launching day one on PS5. So it was at least something.
And this just means that bigger games have yet to come, and they will be announced soon.

Oh my god.
It's so weird how changing the words but meaning the same can make a whole lot different.
That actully sounds way better.

It would be less painful if they openly shut down their hardware division and transitioned to publishing games and offering GP on more devices, rather than pissing people off and clearly failing to convince them it's a good strategy and that they were planning it for a long time. They didn't, it's a very desperate move.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Playstation first with PS Now?
Edit:
PS Now was launched on January 28, 2014.
GamePass launched on June 1, 2017.

So did everybody else. Lol
It's probably why Sony downplays these services, they already know it isn't the future.
Not for the foreseeable future.

If you define Xbox as a publisher - which they increasingly are - then the quote makes sense.
I think people need to accept that Xbox is becoming a publisher and has their own devices as well.
Xbox consoles are becoming the Kindle, the Firestick, the Surface etc.
I grew up with Xbox so personally I don't like that development but if it helps then holding their head above the water against the behemoth that is Sony...

Gamepass isnt going anywhere, imo. If it did, there would be a mass exodus of their userbase. Microsoft has invested in gaming for the upcoming decades, expecting to see growth. They are not going to overly react to stagnating Gamepass numbers, right now. It would create terrible backlash for anything they would plan to achieve in the futureI don't understand the strategy of microsoft/xbox anymore. I truly think that they're in desperation mode and just throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks because they're out of ideas. I think call of duty on gamepass was truly the last strategy they had to grow gamepass and now that it's failed they know they're screwed and pivoting.

So it means one of two things:
1. ”Xbox” doesn’t really mean anything onwards, other than being logged onto their network.
2. It is fully virtual from now on.
This is them trying to steer off the exodus.

They put themselves on collision courts with regulators and spent $70bn to buy a gaming company. Revenue wise, Microsoft gaming now brings in a significant amount to MS earnings.
Gaming isn’t an ‘afterthought’ at MS at all.
Yes. An internal performance metric. That’s what the CEO does.
The person I was responding to seemed to confuse Spencer’s role with Nadella’s.

This... is getting fucking pathetic.
Show some damn dignity MS.

It's MS's big problem. Two decades and they has not yet realized that fans are not created according to their needs, fans are earned by offering them what they want.
It's good and interesting to update yourself to the new generations and situations in the industry, but with formulas where you maintain your fans and their loyalty.
That Xbox marketing campaign doesn't do it. This campaign only creates the feeling that fans and loyal fans of XBOX consoles are a kind of third category among Xbox users.
That Santya dares to make these statements defining what is an Xbox fan when before he never went into Xbox issues... says a lot about who decides on Xbox today.

Why not simplify it in like plain English without any bullshit
Microsoft is a 3rd party publisher ?
Sometimes I feel like we are in a simulation these motherfukers can't be this lvl of stupid.
They actually could've given playstation some serious competition this gen but they raised the white flag and went full retard with everything is an Xbox.
Keep in mind this is the same guy that killed windows phone and now single handedly killed Xbox too

MS is trying to move away from consoles as quietly as possible. They are training their consumers to get used to the fact their software is everywhere and its actually a big plus you can sign in on every device.
It wasn't their narrative when this console race started (Series X had most teraflops etc), but they are forced to play their hand like it is right now. They don't move hardware, they are stuck with a ton of studios and IP with a lot of selling potential. They need to get their software out to pretty much every device out there.
Xbox as a console brand is dead. They do seem to skip a Series X upgrade this time. I wonder when they will deliver the killshot.
