It ends up like those Nintendo Mario games on the smartphone; an experiment. But not the core of the company.
the whole thread is hilarious, apparently IGN is anti-Xbox because they’re owned by Ziff Davis who published a PlayStation magazine at one point
these people are completely insane
Just the Xbox shills? The Nintendo and Sony shills are welcome? What am I saying, of course they are….
If you could name one playstation 'shill' anything like timdog I'd be impressed, never mind a ps equivalent of dealer, dolt or Gaz to name but a few.
Everyone who bought a PSVR2.
It is not anyone else's fault that someone who wants VR on a Console only really has one option. Sony didn't block Xbox from launching a headset. The fact that Xbox One was too weak to run VR is beside the point.
Well that is the only thing that would halt it. Basically as one Xbox podcast said, they love HiFi Rush, but they are praying feverishly for the game to crash and burn on Playstation, purely as to end the Xbox third party plan.
I'm going to buy it just for the lulz.
Haven't heard of that guy. Kind of a strange name.
"VR on a console" sounds like an idiotic concept to be honest. Like "smartwatch on a console".
You are assuming VR is meant to be taken outside. There is nothing wrong with VR done inside a fixed location, which then benefits from hardware that is fixed in place, powered by the grid, and safer play area.
It won't really because a port of Sea of Thieves won't get the game into the red.
Well yeah. The most likely result of the 3rd Party plan not making as much money as they wanted, is Microsoft just selling the entire division piecemeal. Because if Xbox can't make it as 3rd party then there is no blackup plans left; Xbox would just be butchered and the IPs sold.
It's a last gasp at survival imo, but if it works, it could create a meaningful business for Microsoft.
Microsoft at least had experience running 3rd party game studios. And if SEGA survived this long then it can't be THAT hard.
They said there will be an announcement this coming Wednesday. Putting out a no comment response would be even worse at this point.then why have they been so quiet? if nothing beyond that was set in stone they could have denied it or even just put out the classic “we don’t comment on rumors and speculation”
instead they let this go rampant unchecked to the damage of their own brand
Really dont think that the whole third party stratagy for MS consists of launching one AA low radar game and one really old gaas game ... but maybe ... they are that stupid
Microsoft has no experience running 3rd party studios for Profit. They are just so used to being able to defy gravity (their RROD replacement policy would have likely killed a Sega or Nintendo had they attempted something similar, and that is their best ever generation!).
Where is Wednesday coming from? Spencer only mentioned "Next Week".
I am basically talking about how Microsoft had PC game studios long before they created Xbox. Yes, currently the Xbox Division has a lot of studios that seem to make NOTHING AT ALL, and i expect many of them to be cut down. But for example, Bethesda and Obsidian making the same product isn't that bad a thing when you realize AAA games take multiple years to make now, and thus the two studios can stagger their releases just fine if they wanted to.
Bro didn't want to go down with the ship.
No they didn't. The announcement could be next Sunday for all we know.
The execs likely aren't aren't thinking about that - just the increased revenue that they can report as a result of the acquisitions.
MS can’t even properly support Xbox with software, they aren’t going to try to support VR too. Sony approaches this problem by selling the hardware and then forgetting it exists.
What's bad for him is good for the rest of us.This might be a confirmation that whatever announcement MS is making won’t be good lol. Maybe he’s heard something and is trying to avoid the shitstorm
What does Sony have to do with this? These were all Nintendo fanboys trying to get Rare back on Nintendo.So the only truth is that PlayStation fanboys are the worst?
It would have been if they could have made CoD exclusive like they wanted. Then Jimbo ate Phil's lunch and here we go
Eh, that probably would have been the death of the franchise. It needs PlayStation as much (if not more) than PlayStation needs it.
Maybe. Or maybe they wouldn't have stopped buying up publishers and kept on taking key 3rd party games away from PlayStation.
Sony have been paving the way for these practices for 30 years now, you can't complain at a competitor doing the same thing.
I'm going to buy it just to make every single Xbox game multiplatform
I mean, Nintendo and SEGA were also participants in stuff like this, so it certainly isn't an all-on-Sony thing. 3rd party exclusives have existed since industry origins.
