They won't need them though, like streaming services we're entering an age of self reliance and conglomerates. Sony is heading this direction as well as they have to but their issue is a lack of financial capital which could potentially sink them long run.

I think Sony will always have 3rd party and a broad range of content, there's no need to be the same as Xbox.

They can offer different things. Plus 3rd parties wouldn't be happy about how much they would lose.....

I'm happy for the thread to remain open as long as criticism is constructive, and people aren't just sh*ting on other platforms!

Yeah, for instance if there is a Gamepass thread and PS guys go in attacking, they'll all get banned from that thread.
Same goes for other big Xbox threads.

Especially while the Xbox community is growing here.

I agree. But the title says analyzing. and to be honest I didn't found the analysis at all, it is mostly comparisons and assumptions 😆.

You can always clearly and effectively show people which of his points are assumptions, comparisons, hyperbole etc....

We will read your counterpoints!

You're all doing a great job presenting your points.....

With this persistent narrative this thread would be closed and you will be at least warned.

Everyone's opinion is welcome here but the Mods will decide when a warning or ban is appropriate, and when a thread should be closed!

If we all follow the rules, and play nice, we should all get on swimmingly. ☺️

That comment was more like and hypothetical if the thread was made at other places. 😅

It was all fluff. What practical result has come of it? The platform is still really poor and suffering an extreme lack of high end games.
This year sure, last year they were the #1 publisher. You guys overreact a lot and are forgetful.

I think that whole "#1 publisher" nonsense should be disallowed on this board. :ROFLMAO: It's a crutch, and it's meaningless.

I played all of those games, and, sorry but Flight Sim, Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 are just not great games. And Psychonauts 2 was extremely average, and also was not a home grown MS game anyway. Both Sony and Nintendo put out WAY better games last year, because .... I actually played them. You know, instead of looking at some silly "award" that no one ever cared about beforehand.

By the way, to address the thread in general. It's because MS doesn't understand gaming. They understand numbers and spreadsheets and trying to get people to sign up for software subscriptions. Phil Spencer and co. obviously don't have a clue about the craftsmanship of games that can reach level where some people consider them "art." Both Sony and Nintendo have people throughout the executive leadership that love games. They understand them. How many times has Spencer said they have the "best Xbox lineup in history" only for it to be a total dud? It's because he literally has no comprehension about what's good or bad. Why else would he be proud of the releases they have so far, when they are actually a complete embarrassment?

Easy answer to the question.
