Rare doesn't even support their own dormant IPs and you want to give them new ones?

flagship title vs small stuff, ever hear of apples vs oranges my friend? although your comparison is more apt than you intended, since MS should shut down a studio that cannot produce one title in 5-6 years
[Updated] Sony Japan Studio Shutting Down This Year
Sony Japan Studio is reportedly closing its doors in a few short weeks, although Astro Bot developer Asobi Team will continue operations.techraptor.net
I don’t think you have looked into the story. They had developers leaving left and right. It is worse then 343i.
So I’m not allowed to point out people’s hypocrisy. Dang you guys are sensitive.flagship title vs small stuff, ever hear of apples vs oranges my friend? although your comparison is more apt than you intended, since MS should shut down a studio that cannot produce one title in 5-6 years

Frankie debunked the $500 million budget rumor on resetera a long time ago.

As long as Xbox can deliver great games, I don't care who they purchase. Just give me good games.

Nah, they still haven’t blown through half of that ~$120B they had to repatriate from overseas.
That’s why when we joke about Microsoft buying Sega, Capcom, or Konami, they’re only half-jokes. They are all viable targets for acquisition (though some will have more hoops to jump through than others.

EA is entirely plausible and possible. And would be a body blow that Sony couldn’t absorb long-term, as it may require them to farm more exclusives and grab studios to make sports titles again.

Going to need some receipts.
I think you are conflating a couple different things and attributing them all to gamepass.
The Aaron Greenburg quote that it wasn't making a ton of cash back at 10 million subscribers, and that Xbox hasn't made a dollar on console sales from the Epic vs Apple case.
One of those statements is largely outdated and the other is only speaking about the plastic box, not software, subscriptions or accessories.

hypocrisy? Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. And who the hell are “you guys?” I’m just one dude. Enjoy your mischaracterizations, later!

I think EA as well, if not now than in a year or two. They have strategically partnered on subscriptions and have the same GaaS MTX revenue view of milking the consumer, and have oriented their businesses around it. Sunday, BF6 May be announced as day 1 game pass... and who knows maybe ME remastered added as well given the big recent RPG rumour out there. MS needs content and EA has it.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Oh my god, please delete this.

They actually managed to have both too many studios and no games. It's amazing when you think about it.So now people are saying they have too many studios when the theme was they have no games. The bafoonery thinking is amazing. Now adding 3 more studios if true is too much

EA value is entirely predicated on sport licenses that mandate multiplatform releases...

Well good luck with that mate!
You're ahead of me - I have a 1070ti and an 8700k. Currently playing Witcher 3 for the first time, but I want to play Red Dead 2, however I have an (awesome) Alienware ultrawide with a 3440*1440 resolution so it runs like dogshit.
If AMD's FSR is anywhere near as good as DLSS I'll happily jump ship to the red team, Nvidia are a joke.
Who is “my friend”? Hypocrites as in making a big deal out of 343i while downplaying Sony Japan studio.
edit: As far as why I said you guys is because you are not the original person I was responding to in the original post.

Last official number was 18 million.
Insider rumours around earnings reports had it at 23. Im sure we will get updated soon, probably just waiting for that next milestone. (25m)

January 2021, still heard nothing further regarding this;
Blasting into 2021 with some news:
One of the things we're doing is a rebrand..... exciting hey – let us know if you want slides and graphs too, but there is a good reason for us doing so, my dear Playtonic friends... all will be revealed soon!
It’s still a secret, so keep it mum.

It also means higher subscription prices for Xbox gamers down the line. I really don't see the majority of PC gamers subscribing to GamePass, they simply don't want to be under the thumb of Microsoft. And the majority of casuals and with smartphones/tablets aren't going to be interested in paying £10 - £15+ a month either.

I seriously doubt it, but anything is possible. But, IF Microsoft (or Sony) somehow got access to Madden and NHL, you can be assured the NFL and NHL would take the cue from MLB and demand their games be on all platforms or revoke the license.

A lot of people do seem under the impression it will be £10 forever, and that MS is 'doing them a favour' (warchest etc etc) - like they've forgotten how major corporations operate and what their sole purpose is

They were happy paying for online while calling Sony and Nintendo players “poor” so yeah how could they use their brains to think about the future and the implication for all of us gamers. Then we got online behind a paywall for all consoles… so yeah that’s a pretty good example of things that might come.
Fixed. By then they should be releasing some games if the rumors are true.
