Minecraft, Lego games, and Disney Infinity/Skylanders were all HUGE on 360. Kinect also sold crazy well with family's.
See? I knew I wasn't going crazy.
He puts out a good amount of videos per week and has his own podcast thing going on. He's genuinely a nice guy and has a more level headed & realistic view of Xbox than most people give him credit for so I don't get why you're shitting on the guy.
Interestingly enough Splash Damage's hiring page for new projects has changed to just hiring positions instead of specifying what type of project it will be.
all due respect to Thomas I don't think it can support a toys to life game on its own. That would absolutely be the way to go. The more realistic characters can appear in KI instead (like Arby and RAAM).I LOVE Ori but dude it's only one game in
Basically what I meant by Xbox Infinity. Draws from a lot of their more kid friendly franchises.

Well in Phil's defence, and this is why I don't buy any MS product anymore, they have ValueAct poisoning the well in shareholders meetings.
It must be really hard for him to get ANY money, ValueAct is heavily influencing shareholders to dump areas that aren't "Windows Server and Office!" and if not able, to "defund and starve" them.
It's what happened to Windows phone, it's what will happen to the Surface line and is currently happening to the Xbox line. ValueAct also ruined Motorola long before that, after they are "done: trimming the fat", they will sell the debts they made to buy themselves into MS.. back to MS as a "good investment! Look at that credit rating, bound to give you a 15% year over year increase!"... which is also how they bankrupted smaller companies just before bailing on them.
Basically Phil will have a lot of people looking over his shoulder, many setting him up to fail and defunding him. It is, and this was admitted by people within Microsoft, why Scorpio exists. It is the ONLY way he still can get some funds OK'd from the shareholders, if it is a "new platform".
Not saying that he did well in this case though, but keep that in mind a bit. If you're an Xbox fan? Be ready to hear "we are quiting the console industry" in a few years. Thousands of people have been fired already by these bastards, and the xbox department is just close to the chopping block.
I'll try to find that interview, but I think it even was posted on GAF a while ago.
Sad really, but hey, soon you'll be able to be part of that "shrinking market" that is Office

Not sure what the popular ip would be unless they're stretching the definition... Maybe like a Banjo-Kazooie Run? Do these guys do mobile?
Value ACT when they first bought shares in MS it was still under 1 percent, since then they have continued to sell their stock in Microsoft. Morfit does not have as much influence as you would think, Nadella has actively ignored the board and pursued towards surface which has now resulted in a very important sector to them which has earned the trust of the board in Nadella. Nadella has organised and integrated Xbox deeper into other sectors of MS as a whole, as he sees great value in having Xbox and gaming for all of his platforms. Ironically Value ACT wants Microsoft to move away from having Windows be their focus, wanting them to focus on devices and open platforms. Surface and xbox are actually seen as important by Value ACT. Windows Phone was dropped because it was a dead platform not because of Value ACT what a stupid thing to say, the surface line is not getting dropped as it has been very successful for MS and is seen as a very important consumer facing marketing for the platform and Xbox is not getting treated that way it's their most important consumer facing brand they will continue to move closer towards the services market. Investors see a lot of potential growth for the Xbox brand now that it is moving in a similar position as office.Well in Phil's defence, and this is why I don't buy any MS product anymore, they have ValueAct poisoning the well in shareholders meetings.

Look, clearly when people said that they meant games that appeal to them. And are new IPs. From proven studios. That meet the janky threshold. And gets enough marketing.
They opened a new mobile studio last year according to the great google
Stop.
GOTG is on PS4. SE games more than likely will also. Sony will probably get marketing deals for them also. Their relationship doesn't mean they will be exclusive, KH3 and Star Wars games are multiplats also
I'm not sure about that. They said they all contacted each other to get the project going. It seemed more like Marvel wanting to work with that dev and pub. Marvel just wants quality titles to be produced. If MS does what they have to do, and Marvel is down, I could see them getting an exclusive Marvel game as well.
