I kinda agree. But i also have my doubts. I believe it will change some, but can't change too much because of how hard MS has pushed it since 2017. Changing it to be more like PS+ (again), would be too much an admission of defeat that I feel MS pride will never allow them do.
Not really, I actually think its the opposite. The best case for Xbox is releasing the games at the same time on all platforms. The fact they have them on gamepass day 1 is "exclusive" enough. And you want to ride that wave. Think about it, with the hype that surrounded Starfeild, it likely would still have sold more than 5M copies on PS5. You wait a year, after all the shit-talking on the game, it would be lucky to sell 1M copies.
He told Nadella that they had the "ingredients for a winning plan". He sounded very confident to me. He didn't come out and say they were going to win, but I think he definitely believed they could.
Yeah, his tune changed dramatically after reality set in.

Have you seen the sales numbers on xbox? Third party games aren't selling.
What exactly do you think you proved with that ? I said I don't usually buy games day 1, but I still buy some (gow/spiderman). I also pay for ps + to play online. I'm not sure what your point is?
Ever heard the phrase " to talk outta both sides of your mouth"?
That and the fact that Playstation has at least twice the installbase.
Call of Duty, I can pretty much guarantee with be on all platforms Day 1. That brings in too much revenue for MS and there is no way they would make up that loss being on Gamepass. I can see previous years Call of Duty games going on Gamepass.
It's a valid point you make, but cyber punk 2977 proves the redemption arc is possible.
That's because he interprets "usualy" as "always"...He does that sometimes, from recent experience it's best to just ignore it.
Ok.
Phil never said that. He said the bathesda investment was to bolster game pass and they will evaluate games on a case by case basis. Since then they’ve shipped all updates for games on PlayStation and even Minecraft. Most of abk live service games will still continue to be on PlayStation. Nothing new they are saying now is some new thing. People have this narrative they want to push that Microsoft is going full third party when they’re not. That alone will ensure the people there don’t have jobs. People just like to extrapolate what they want out of these statements and make it what they want instead of just going by the facts that are already out there.
There were reports that they were already plans for this event because of possible changes to gamepass and implementation of abk games. Something they have to do by March due to the cma wanting to see how that implementation affects the markets. They were already going to do this. Did they move it up due to the widespread rumors that have mostly all been walked back because of clicks and engagement. Hifi rush and pentiment going to PlayStation and switch isn’t some death blow to Xbox. This is all because of console warriors wanting to port beg when in reality just get a PC and you can play both Sony and Microsoft games.
Just FYI. If I am not mistaken. NONE of the games you mentioned are even Sony first party titles.
I don’t think that is happening with Xbox considering the cure t situation.
Isn’t this “big game” like under $10 during sales? One would have to do some serious mental gymnastics to describe it as such.
Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying and I’m correct in Xbox case. Gamepass subs have stagnated. Console sales have dropped off a cliff.
Likely why they were talking about trying something different and soon
I pay for extra for old games I didn't play, or didn't fancy . Its nothing like gamepass where everything is day one. You're talking absolute bollocks.
Xbox 360 games are off the table
I know you are joking BUT here is my biggest concern.Xbox 360 games are off the table
That’s been my argument.
I’d say anywhere from 4-8 months. Not very long.
Not Heavy Rain either, as that one belongs to Quantic Dream in spite of Sony being the publisher.
I blocked him.

Just a reminder of what Phil said the last time they brought games to PC. Thought this very relevant for what's announced on Thursday.
Phil Spencer says not every Xbox game will come to PC
After the discussion in recent days about Windows 10 and Xbox being a single platform, as well as the announcement that Quantum Break would be coming to PC at the same time as the previously exclusive Xbox One, we weren't exactly sure what that meant. Were we coming to a point where Xbox discs would
