Not really. He had no choice after losing on CoD. He was trying to make console exclusives out of all the zeni and activision games before that.He is truly decided to destroy the Xbox brand it is amazing....
Ahh got it.ShaikhCroft this is the real question I was asking you. lol
Day 1 on GamepassThey have to sell Xbox with something!
Optimized for Xbox?
They don't have to mention the best place to play it. They just announce the platforms that it's releasing and that's it lolOkay fine they will say "Available on Xbox but you should play it on PS5 Pro"!
They can't back out of that now, even if it's costing them revenue and profits. Only way is if they're prepared for a reset pain and sacrifice a good portion locked in that ecosystem. Thus why they are opening up more and more avenues via third party and diving both feet into the "Xbox PC" paradigm shift.Day 1 on Gamepass
That's the current strategy to keep old fans inside the ecosystem. And the likelihood of Gamepass popping up on Playstation, Switch, Steam is minimal. Nobody want to have customers avoiding purchases because they're waiting for a subscription library release on somebody else's service.

And It does not feel "good strange"... luckily this has pushed me to a new hobby and passion.. the piano.. Im spending more and more hours on it in the last 8 months... I guess in a way Sony helped me unlock a new ability I didnt even knew I had.We live in a new gaming world and it does feel strange

Yeah I already play the drums ... but since I love classic music and had extra time I though to give at a go and I discovered I had some talent for it... learned the 1st movent of the moonlight sonata by myself with 3 months practice and well.. the objective is the third movement in a few years and many lessonsI love the piano as I took it up a few years ago as well
My first instrument was a guitar that I have been playing for literally 50 years as my family was very music based and they stuck one in my hand as a kid and have been playing ever since
I love play classic and that is such a beautiful songYeah I already play the drums ... but since I love classic music and had extra time I though to give at a go and I discovered I had some talent for it... learned the 1st movent of the moonlight sonata by myself with 3 months practice and well.. the objective is the third movement in a few years and many lessons![]()

Like they did with doom dark ages.Unless they intentionally sabotage or half-ass it.
Those currently locked into the Xbox ecosystem will have to accept to merge over to PC. But I don't think that's a big deal tbh. There is already a launcher and synced achievements and saves and playtime, it should be a fairly smooth and natural progression. The emulation of older titles is the final puzzle piece there.They can't back out of that now, even if it's costing them revenue and profits.

But yeah Microsoft is stuck with Gamepass now. That's what they have left. And the subscription numbers stagnated. That's why they need the PlayStation and Switch money. Phil said "We can do big games now" in an interview when talking about spreading out so it's an important part of the strategy.
The big problem is the existing library that a lot of folks have on Xbox that doesn't exist in the Windows store. That's a bigger problem than emulating older titles, imo.
CoD was never going to be exclusive. It would have instantly gutted Activision minutes after they purchased it.Not really. He had no choice after losing on CoD. He was trying to make console exclusives out of all the zeni and activision games before that.
Isn't that what the rumored emulation team is supposed to fix? So you can play your existing Xbox library on the Xbox App on PC?The big problem is the existing library that a lot of folks have on Xbox that doesn't exist in the Windows store. That's a bigger problem than emulating older titles, imo.
