Peter Moore as great as he is would have had zero success like phil during the budgetary armageddon years. Now Pete Moore with billions after 2018 awesome but you all bitch its been 60 days why has he not produced any games.God I can only imagine if Peter Moore or any of the original execs were in charge. There Xbox and Xbox 360 generation were something else.
Rare was already a corpse when Microsoft bought them. they should have just left it dead.Studios can deliver or become shadows of what they were - RARE being a prime example
He was great with the Xbox but the Zune was bad.
"I don't actually know a whole lot about why we're in gaming," Nadella told him.
Did Rare make the new Battletoads? I thought it was licensed out.I was thinking about this today.
I saw Strafefox's video of How Donkey Kong Country was made and I was like "the same Rare that made this masterpiece made the new Battletoads"? I wanted to barf.
Yeah because owning studios is better than playing their games...
What is coming in the next 6 months as 1st parties?
Buying studio is good, but for them to make good games is different.And since nothing is coming out in the near future why be satisfied with so little yet.What's your point? Fixing/improving hard things take time. An impactful AAA game takes years to be done well.

Ya the device was great. It just got appledZune performed bad, sure agree with that one. Zune was bad? Fuck no, don't agree with that.
Alright but what about his history of not delivering games?Like when he was head of 1st parties ? Because ditching Kinect was an obvious move that anybody with a brain could have figured.And I think it is too early to tell if the series S or X are good.Xbox one X was good though.And as I said earlier sure games takes time but look at insomniac bought in february and 2 games in the first 6 months of the ps5.Thing is what Spencer is doing is far from little. Gamepass, Xbox One S, X, ditching Kinect, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X / S, Elite Controller, acquiring awesome studios, etc etc.
Based on its history delivering great results, I trust that First party will come and will be awesome.

And remember those wait til next E3, then nex gen, ten look at the next gen launch lineup even including what's coming in the near future.Phil had a whole gen to put out games.
I read earlier someone comparing the situation to that of the ps3 when Kaz Hirai took over.And the difference is staggering at the end of the gen ps3 was a must have.Would you say Xbox is a msut have now ?Most critics seems to think it is not.
About those aquisitions now what have the studios that have been bought by MS put out recently as exclusives?Battletoads and Bleeding edge ? Gears tactics?
Do you think there is a game enticing the purchase of an Xbox now ?And in the near future ?Do we have a release date for any of them ?A release windows at least?
Yep Phil bought studios now make them work and do good things.

85 meta critic on par with ghosts of tsushima. That studio is expanding to a second team. Don't forget the studio the dethroned gran turismo as the best racing series on console playground. Microsoft has a base of good studios good games take time.
