The way this is going there'll come a time when certain MS published games won't even come out on Xbox anymore because the sales aren't worth it...

If the Series S parity rule remains then we’ll see plenty of PS5 games not on Series consoles.

Both from Microsoft and other third parties.

 

[analog_future]

how far we have come...............................

 

[MMaRsu]

Now I ask this... Why the fuck are they even pushing for a new console? This makes no sense.

To make money?

"And I know it’s not what everybody else is doing, but I just believe games should be the thing that’s at the forefront. Maybe it’s because of how I’ve grown up in this industry."

I agree. If games had been at the forefront of the last Xbox console generation, I do not believe Xbox sales would be as poor as they are now. Letting a flagship title like Halo go through what it went through...

 

[Bojanglez]

"I think it’s just being honest and transparent..."

There is a first time for everything I suppose

Does Microsoft display the PS logo in game for crossplay games? I've noticed in Space Marines 2 that PlayStation shows a TV screen logo for Xbox.

I mean, if anything is an Xbox, fair.

 

[reinking]

Now I ask this... Why the fuck are they even pushing for a new console? This makes no sense.

They will sell it at a profit to retain their current Xbox fans. They do not want to let 30 million console gamers/game pass users) rush off to PlayStation.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Corporate abracadabra. F off. You clowns killed Xbox and now trying to be proud of it. Retards.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I would think so, considering that Fortnite you can see skins from Xbox or PS IPs on either machine. It's all game dependent and whether devs add it, probably.

This is diabloical they basically bent over & kissed sonys ring

 

[Moriarty1889]

“I’m tired boss”

That is years of stress and poor decisions made by Phil that have lead to him looking like that. They now have no choice other than putting their games everywhere and hoping it keeps them alive.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Lol

It's a trillion dollar company

MS is..... but Xbox on the other site...Jeeez do you guys even think before you write

 

[LavitzSlambert]

"""and we actually even had this discussion last year for the June showcase, and by the time we kind of made our decision, we couldn’t get all of the assets done and it felt weird to have some of them in and some of them out"""

Of course Phil, it was "impossible" to put PS5 in the trailers for Gears, Fable or Perfect Dark xDD, you don't even believe it yourself, you just didn't want to piss off your user base any more.

Because Phil was probably fighting management to advocate for the Xbox platform last year. Do you really think he likes Microsoft retching control from him over the direction of Xbox? You could tell he didn’t agree at all, but at this point it’s get on board or get lost - and he chose to get on board.

What’s good for Microsoft is not good for their customers. This has been the case for their entire history as a company, so I’m not surprised they want to enshittify their platform this way.

 

[nial]

A gaming industry CEO engaging and doing interviews with these no-name podcasters is so fucking weird to me. You will never see Hideaki Nishino and Shuntaro Furukawa doing shit like this.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

The way this is going there'll come a time when certain MS published games won't even come out on Xbox anymore because the sales aren't worth it...

Its already there.

Xbox and Square Enix have made a big deal about games coming to Xbox.

SE is gonna be mega disappointed when they realize their games arent going to sell jack shit on that platform at all.

Xbox has conditioned their users to only subscribe to Gamepass and not buy games.

Gamepass is the ultimate catch 22 for Microsoft.

 

[Tommi84]

Being a CEO of an xbox is not hard.
Phil,
Age 24

 

[Syphon Filter]

To make money?

they arent going to make money, series x sold less than xbox one. games going to sony consoles will make that next hardware sell even less.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

At this stage, Phil isn't doing anything else.

MS won't fire him because they'll have to pay his liquidated damages clause, Phil won't quit because he has no pending offers to go elsewhere, and so we're at an impasse where he is a man on the inside with zero influence on where the Xbox ship is headed. Might as well live it up while you can because once he's out, the emails and phone calls asking for his time and input are going to dry up.

 

[Panajev2001a]

They know, they are just trying to buy time from shareholders hoping for a few good hits to make them get off their backs.

You could tell he didn’t agree at all, but at this point it’s get on board or get lost - and he chose to get on board.

Not only that, after June they were still being coy about how many games they would port, so well he is admitting he was lying.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

I think he is pretty transparent and I appreciate that, and I mean that by a corporate executive he's more open than most. I don't care about platforms I care about good games.

Phil Spencer transparent and open?? Your joking right? A quick Google search tells a complete different story. I 'am not gonna post it here, it would be a wall of text, but Phil was everything except "transparent and open". He has been talking as a second hand car salesman for years...

Yep. He's been Captain Ambiguity for over a decade.

But now the writing is on the wall...

 

[Crayon]

They've been shy about highlighting ps5 as "an Xbox" but that couldn't go on for very long.

And it’s about time. Xbox needs to focus on games. So far they haven’t been able to do that at all for two generations.

 

[jroc74]

Yeah...just like any normal 3rd party that has a stream, showcase, etc.

This is the way.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Edit: nvm

 

[viveks86]

I guess Phil has finally figured out the unique differentiator for Xbox. It’s transparency!

No, their Daddy is a trillion dollar company Xbox is not!

Gotta have someplace for remaining Xbox fans to access GP and their digital libraries.

Gamepass is the ultimate catch 22 for Microsoft.

To get 3rd party games on GP, Xbox is paying publishers a large sum to cover potential loss in sales, though.

It's mostly Xbox that is hurting from it.

 

[AtomicStarving]

This is the end.

 

[DevilHunterX0]

I think we lost him. Not yet.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

So a trillion dollar company had to spend 80 billion just to get their mid games on PlayStation . Crazy to think about.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This is the end.

So that's what the love child of Red Sonja and Conan (Kalidor) would look like.

 

[DragonNCM]

No, their Daddy is a trillion dollar company Xbox is not!

Spoiled rich man sons always get the money for a new Ferrary & whores....

 

[Labadal]

After all, every PlayStation is an Xbox.

 

[Kvally]

they are still can't get there without fully embracing PlayStation and this is just another baby step in that direction

Not surprising. Even Sony admitted they can't have first party games without 3rd party revenue. And now they want to spread to more platforms as well.
