Which part? The 'going third party' part? Multiple users are saying that in the other thread. I don't want to quote spam here.
But they consider Sony and Nintendo users part of their own ecosystem? Why would they fuck their own users like this?
No, this is about Game Pass on PS or Nintendo. I don't know that I've seen anyone argue that they believe that is actually going to happen.
Yeah....plenty of speculation over MS going third party, but that's different.
Two things...
- Didn't MS themselves say something along the lines that Sony stopped gamepass from being on PlayStation and it was something they were actively trying to do?
Im still saying that. They can't sell hardware to save their lives. What makes you think they'll keep producing hardware that nobody wants?Which part? The 'going third party' part? Multiple users are saying that in the other thread. I don't want to quote spam here.
The third party dream.
It's over jim.
But Adam, game pass is for the peasants.It's simple, they're the peasant tier users.
Yeah but then again lots of users in the other thread were correlating the "game pass on other platforms news" directly as some kind of admission that they're going third party.
With this topic and Phil's statements here, that puts a pretty big damper on any of that talk entirely. Since whatever they're gonna do, game pass is an essential part of the gaming division at Xbox going forward.

Was that thread closed? I can't find it now. What "game pass on other platform news" was being discussed? I thought that thread was just about the CFO talking about first party on PS and Nitnendo.
It definitely does, and these quotes leave no room for ambiguity here.
It seems like an announcement may even be closer than we thought. I think Microsoft is laying the groundwork for the inevitable announcement and testing the waters with interviews like these. It'll blow up the Internet when that happens, so they must want to treat carefully.
There's potential there, but I would imagine that some of the assurances PS would demand (no day 1 third party games, a cut of every subscription) would make it unattractive for Xbox.Currently they are getting 0% from the 100m+/40m+ PlayStation userbase. If they made an compelling offer with some assurances then Sony might go for it.
No, it's still there.
Platform - Microsoft Wants Game Pass On PlayStation, Nintendo, And "Every Screen" Possible
"It's a bit of a change of strategy," Microsoft admits. Microsoft wants to bring Xbox Game Pass to PlayStation and Nintendo. Xbox CFO Tim Stuart said during the Wells Fargo TMT Summit this week that the goal is to make first-party games and Game Pass available on "every screen that can play...www.neogaf.com
I'll give one example here, apparently for some users that Stuart interview left no room for ambiguity about them going third party.
I don't think it's happening barring some severe circumstances like Nadella completely cutting off Xbox cold turkey.
No, it's still there.

First party experiences on PlayStation are already a thing with many games due to acquisitions. Not really that big of a leap to suggest MS may go further down that road. It is quite another to suggest this means Game Pass on PS and Nintendo. Phil Spencer is only addressing Game Pass on other platforms here. He isn't talking about more first party games going to PlayStation or Nintendo.
The Xbox division was on the chopping block before. Did you forget?No room for ambiguity, announcement even closer than we think!
Nah. I’ll play their stuff on game pass when MS acquires them, after this grave mistake.ftfy
If he says something, its a lie, if he doesnt, has something to hide….If Phil says it, it has to be "true" xDD.
It's not that simple. Satya, Brad Smith, and Amy Hood probably have a lot of thoughts on recouping their investments and where things are going. I guarantee Stuart is dotted (indirect but often more meaningful management relationship) to Hood.He is the CEO, afterall. His words weight more than Stuart, who reports to him.
Phil Spencer - "Just as we think of ROG Ally and Steam Deck as part of the Xbox community, we need to think of the many Nintendo Switch and PlayStation users as part of the Xbox community in the future,"But they consider Sony and Nintendo users part of their own ecosystem? Why would they fuck their own users like this?
But also, I want our fans and customers to know that I don't bring up games just to tease to no end ... if people have watched how we've teased things in the past. There's usually some kind of reconciliation of those hints later on ... I'm not one to try and lead people on. It might not happen on the timeline that people would love, but usually when I tease, there's something there."
I will say though I'm glad that the cultists can now stop planning their infiltration on PC.
Xbox continuing to exist as it does today is a win-win for everyone, and I don't mean that lightly.
I sense an internal struggle brewing.
