yeah they didn't drive through scenarios, but they were saying based on this data, it doesn't make sense with MSs current models in place.,

I don't think ive seen a single person expressing happiness due to being able to play one of these games now, every post just seems to be laughing at their incompetence

Did you expect this? I think I heard you say this was unlikely, were insiders privy of this?

But "gamepass will increase sales! Players that enjoy a game for nearly free will want to buy it!"

- Tim has heard that Call of Duty may not be coming to game pass.
- Hardware sales have not met the projected sales and the CFO got spooked.
- In the last three months of last year, they had consoles for $350 and no one cared.
- Xbox One was more wanted than Series consoles.
- They said the hardware is dead, and they are seeing declines in hardware year over year.
- Game pass is unsustainable; the market they have is not enough to offset the cost.
- Tim heard from someone at Microsoft that you may not like Xbox when they get Activision. They want ROI.
- He heard that Xbox has an insane showcase with tons of games, but everyone is going to be saying asterisks.
- The leaks happened because a Microsoft employee who didn't want this to happen leaked it, so there would be a public outcry.
- Microsoft now has no problem buying more companies in the future if all games go to all platforms.
- Tim thinks they will go all-digital, with ads on game pass (pre-roll or at the end of a chapter e.g. Like a Dragon) and AI community managers.

Just like PC. Except on PC you can get MS games on gamepass and have to wait up to 2 years for Sony games.

They cheered as MS spent almost $80B in acquisitions and heralded it as the most aggressive and competitive push MS could make in gaming. All the while backed by the most powerful console ever made.
Now they face the reality of what a company needs to do for their ROI.
At this point, too many of these very specific rumors have been making the rounds that its hard to imagine they aren't legit. I almost feel that these are controlled leaks; being done to desensitize everyone so it doesn't look or sound that bad when it's made official. Or in a diabolical twist, maybe MS figured out the best way to make people care about their games is if they spread rumors of them maybe coming to the PS5. Then when they don't they hope people would agrily go buy an Xbox or sub to gamepass on PC instead.

Let's be honest, there's a good chance they'd perform better on the base ps5 anyway.

Some people are saying, "Gamepass," meaning you can save money by renting, rather than buying the games for PS5. That doesn't seem like a very powerful reason to me, but it could be to some, I suppose.
I'm happy to hear about Indy possibly coming to the PS5. It looks like a good game and one that I'd probably enjoy.

Deluded.I do love that Gaf now think Xbox first party titles are actually good gamesbring it on I say as long as I still get Gamepass with all that value.
Literally no one has said that.

Look, admit that starfield and forza are garbage.
If they release in this state on ps5, they'll sell worse than they did on xbox
Microsoft don't have any bargaining power with Sony now, it's joever.
If Sony don't get their 30% ms don't release their games on PlayStation, ms go back to not making any of that playstation money.
Why shouldn't MS reward Sony for making a console that allows them to sell games.
70% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

It's the new cope/narrative.
Only people saying it is xbox fans.
They are trying to speak it into reality

Ofcourse Xbox fans were claiming how good Xbox games are.
"In the land of the Eunuchs, the One-Ball is King".
But now King One-Ball has to compete with proper men.

It's been my favorite cope by them so far. Make up a straw-man, then complain about said straw.

Another L for Xbox and good guy Spencer.
Isn’t it a win for gamers though? I don’t get it. Why a plastic box generates so much tribalism.
Sony also should and will likely port their games to PC all the time too.

I hate 1st person, but it's perfect for VR. It was always sad that MS of all publishers makes so much potential VR fodder yet no VR support on XBOX. Maaaaybe now there's a chance.I guess all those queasy stomachs will be fine with the first person view now
I.e. Avowed looks shitty for traditional game, but in VR it would be among the better looking. Sony should pay them. They don't have enough VR stuff.

Notice how virtually no one in this thread is talking about the Indiana Jones game? 
The thing is DOA.

From action- adventure with puzzles, to a first person shooter with whips - I am not so fussed about this anyway.

They are not maximizing revenue by not going 3rd party.
The only way this works is if the console is compelling enough to sell a certain number and keep those games exclusive.
I think we can all see the problem here, but I think only some can see the solution.

Suicide hot lines all over the country are now wondering what the fuck is going on.
My aunt works in a psych ward and mentioned how there's been a spike in new patients over the last month. First thing I thought of was xbox fanboys.
