How can anyone trust this company? Everything they say makes me feel like I'm at a car dealership talking to the sales manager.

Didn't Sony just have to revise their future earnings down? The whole industry is down apparently.

Cringiest thing I’ve ever seen. Reeks of backpedaling when they seen the backlash. Make no doubt they will release more games on more platforms in the future, they have altered the plans on the public reaction quite clearly.

Xbox trying to grow their business to make money. Not hard to comprehend at all. A few games coming to other platforms when the time is right for Xbox. They'll still have some exclusives to their platform (Windows and Xbox hardware) and they are continuing to invest in both their studios and hardware.
If you can't beat em, join em. Should be Xbox new motto.

Yes, thank you for saying what I know some have to think.
How to do even handle this messaging so poorly as to waste our time with PR fluff and some gospel BS PR on why xbox this and happening of this
If this was a pitch meeting, it would have ended about half way when I felt like an idiot watching this and closed the window.

If the goal is more people playing games and more people discovering them, why just these four games and not more? You say you want to learn from these, but surely if they’re hugely successful and you see that more people are playing them, then you’ll do more in the future, right?
Yeah, but we haven’t seen that yet. We’re obviously one of the biggest publishers on PlayStation and Nintendo today, when you think about the Activision Blizzard and Bethesda lineup of games. So we know what it means to ship games on Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox.
These are games that originally launched on Xbox. They were Xbox-branded games and we want to see what happens, because going and doing the development work to bring them to new platforms is real work. We want to make sure that the return makes sense. We want to make sure the audience that’s there has an appetite — maybe they don’t.
We’ll also watch what happens on Xbox as well. Our goal would be that the communities of those games grow, they grow and they thrive, but we’ll see. We’ll see what happens when we take games that launched originally on Xbox and PC and bring them over to other consoles, other closed platforms. We don’t know.
We’ve done it a couple times. Obviously, Ori went over to the Switch after we had launched. We’ve launched Psychonauts 2 on both platforms and launched Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends on both platforms simultaneously. So we have some data about what happens there. We just want to make sure it’s good for the long-term health of Xbox.
You mentioned that Starfield and Indiana Jones aren’t part of the four despite rumors, but will those ever come to PS5? Can you rule that out?
I don’t think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform. We’re focused on these four games and learning from the experience.
But I don’t want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam’s going to open and that everything else is coming, that’s not the plan today. I also don’t want to mislead customers on those other platforms. We’re launching these four games, and we’re excited about it. We’re excited about the announce and everything else, but we’ll see what happens for our business.
