Select games?
I can imagine that there are still a lot of hurdles for both MS and Sony to allow Xbox 1st party on Playstation."select games".......that's how it starts.
Its what I was getting at as their plan for years, select games, like I say MP versions of select games was their first intent"select games".......that's how it starts.
Also the big KEYWORD tho. Our subscription service. So I wouldn’t believe anything till that can bring gamepass in. That not happening on PlayStationTim Stuart, the CFO, who was sitting beside Satya in this interview, has already name-dropped the two consoles in a previous interview:
"It's a bit of a change of strategy. Not announcing anything broadly here, but our mission is to bring our first-party experiences and our subscription services to every screen that can play games," Stuart said. "That means smart TVs, that means mobile devices, that means what we would have thought of as competitors in the past like PlayStation and Nintendo."
If that's all that this amounts to it will be pretty hilarious. I think most people realize the advantage of select multiplayer games being multiplatform, like Marathon and Destiny 2. I guess we continue waiting to see.Its what I was getting at as their plan for years, select games, like I say MP versions of select games was their first intent
You really want this to happen just for the drama don't you"select games".......that's how it starts.

These things could have a major impact for both companies.
You really want this to happen just for the drama don't you
Read through some of the replies in here. The drama has already begun, particularly with the mental gymnastics seen by a select few who are struggling with the very thought of Xbox games being on other platforms, especially PlayStation.You really want this to happen just for the drama don't you
Well yeah, but i was talking irt the business side of things.Open Hellblade 2.UE5
Go to file, export to PS5
done

Or maybe because if Sony just casually allows it, their installbase might decide to jump ship and put MS back into the game again?I don't really know what hurdles. MS would just submit them like they already do for those shitty Minecraft games
Or maybe because if Sony just casually allows it, their installbase might decide to jump ship and put MS back into the game again?
Because Xbox is still a competing platform.Why would the installbase jump over to Xbox if the games go multiplat? Lol what?

Who spent 70 billion dollars to compete again?.some of yall cheering for them to go third party dont realize how bad its going to be to have 1 platform. im not counting nintendo.
Consumers need the 2 choices, otherwise enjoy the anti consumer changes were going to get to PS
why do people always willingly take things Microsoft saids out of context all the time to port beg? Are we going to act like they didn’t sign a 10 year contract to bring call of duty to switch and PlayStation? Is warzone not on PlayStation or ESO online or Minecraft or fallout 76? I mean they will continue to ship games on other platforms as they have. Does that mean halo fable and all the other games that keeps their one enticing service gamepass day and date will now be on PlayStation? get a grip guys !
I'm sure it doesn't to you.Still not making sense
My man, they couldn’t be more arrogant if they tried right now. Internal talks about spending Sony out of business, 80 Bs in acquisitions to bolster exclusives soon after, proof they intended exclusives with Starfield, and now telling us going 3rdI miss arrogant microsoft
I'm sure it doesn't to you.
Xbox dying doesn't mean it's dead yet. So it's still a competitor. You don't casually allow your main competitor to just sell his shit on your doorstep.
Paid online fucking sucks ass. I remember when Nintendo and Sony offered it for FREE. Not only that, the servers they touted that was in exchange for your money now makes those old online games DEAD. Peer to peer is leagues better in preservation.i miss clever xbox, arrogant MS sucked, just buying all studios for consolidation sucks.
i miss them forcing Sonys hand for cross-play, forcing Sony and Nintendo to improve their Online offerings.
Without XBL and XBGG we wouldn't have PS+ or Nintendo Switch Online. Without gamepass (and EA play to be fair) we wouldn't have PS + Premium or Ubisoft +.
That's the Microsoft/Xbox that i miss, the ones who innovated and forced their competitors to get with the times.
Lets not forget the anti UK stuff from Brad too when things weren't going his way.My man, they couldn’t be more arrogant if they tried right now. Internal talks about spending Sony out of business, 80 Bs in acquisitions to bolster exclusives soon after, proof they intended exclusives with Starfield, and now telling us going 3rd
party always the plan. Arrogant as F in my opinion.
Also, anyone claiming they have always been doing select multi platform games because of Minecraft or COD are in denial. Come on now fellas.
I miss arrogant microsoft
just go third party
Well its hardly going to boost it is it.I really dont see how anyone could see this as anything but a good thing?
Microsoft releasing games on Playstation doesn't mean the death of their hardware business. I think it's a jump for people to put those two together.
Not unless they improve their quality control considerablyIt would be just the start before the flood gates open
Thing is I don't think it will have as big of an impact as they hope it would
Fixed it for you bro.Open Hellblade 2.UE5
Go to file, remove loading screens, export to PS5
done
Except Sony and Nintendo won’t put gamepass on their platforms Sony has already said no because they know if they do that Xbox branding will be all over their platforms. Which will allow Microsoft to get revenue from people buy game pass on PlayStation and making purchases for dlc and content of Microsoft games only in game pass. If Sony does that great I still don’t see it.
Those words are nothing more than the representation of reality right now, there is nothing that implies a change in the future (whatever happens in that future).The answer is pretty clear imo.
The Activision acquisition is signaled by Nadella as the turning point compared to what they have done so far that will allow their long time goal of being a major publisher releasing their games on all platforms.If he was talking just about a few selected titles there would be nothing new compared to the past that they can only do *now* (post Activision acquisition), the answer would have not much sense.
The reason behind that is clear, you can't invest 80 billions on publishers that used to work also financially by being fully multiplatform just to try to drive sales of an almost dead console brand or only to push a subscription service that has already saturated and is unlikely to get the subscribers they need to offset the costs of putting all their games day one there.
More games they add, more difficult and complicated is to sustain the situation. Adding COD on Gamepass this year will create a revenues hole even with the game still available on Playstation.
Also not focusing on console platforms anymore has been their desire, their decision to kill console exclusives is the main culprit behind Xbox Series doing worse than Xbox One...and this is all on them, not even the competition.
So this is a logic conclusion, not a sudden development.
Of course there will be graduality, they will never say they're abandoning hardware, they'll never issue a PR stating they're going third party. We won't see games where they already paid for the exclusivity (ex. Indiana Jones) becoming multiplatform day one.
But we'll see more and more games going fully multiplatform. Multiplayer games and old catalogue games will be the beginning.
I literally answered the question already.Dude answer the fucking question lmao

I think this is one of the many announcements they are doing just that.just go third party
As long as Xbox is selling consoles, it would be dumb for Playstation to just casually allow MS to start selling (all) their 1st party titles on their platform, since there is a chance it might persuade people to switch platform.Xbox is competition is not an answer as to why killing exclusives would push more people to xbox
This sounds more like a case of folks denying reality. They may not be dropping hardware, but if you really believe there’s no fire where that smoke is coming from, you aren’t paying attention.why do people always willingly take things Microsoft saids out of context all the time to port beg? Are we going to act like they didn’t sign a 10 year contract to bring call of duty to switch and PlayStation? Is warzone not on PlayStation or ESO online or Minecraft or fallout 76?

How is this even a question?
The same way it does now, except the Xbox installbase will spread across PC and Playstation, most likely.Is that good for the industry? Not sure how it would play out to be honest.
