No you and other people were saying its true well before the datamining, which happened like 2 days ago. Also Hi fi was planned for playstation before it was canceled. So could be left over code. So like i said, are leakers/insiders information is now considered cope sauce?
D'oh! You forgot that the shirts were newly added to the game. Can't be 'leftover code'. Slather yourself in copesauce and try again.

at the end of the day, Phil Spencer will be known for killing Rare, killing Lionhead, and killing Xbox, everything this man touches turns into dust, and despite all of that, he still receives promotions, it's unbeliavable
Phil spencer put all his points into charisma and made wisdom his dump stat. It's unbelievable to me that a top 2 richest company in the world allows such an incompetent used car salesman to run one of their divisions.

Phil increased xbox fire power tremendously. He just needs to get games out the door consistently and hopefully their good.

ok cool, but you were already sold on some xbox games coming to playstation way before the t shirts. So leakers/insiders information can't be cope sauce to you.
Positive Xbox 'leaks' from alleged insiders is definitely copesauce to me. That's the difference. It goes against everything we've seen and heard and experienced. Xbox is dying.

Timed exclusive for everything they have? No need for the box for the majority of gamers then.
On Jez and Rand latest podcast, Jez said Xbox exclusives are here to stay but that those exclusives might go multiplat to PlayStation down the road. LMAO. Yeah, this could be the new messaging from Xbox. Xbox: "We have day n date on Gamepass, but if that's not to your liking have no fear we'll port the game to Switch and PlayStation later. When we all play we all win."

Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much you know about gaming culture (I'm an expert) but sales and hardware are a huge part of it. It isn't like in Hollywood where you can be an arsehole to everyone, gaming requires respect and fan service.
What Microsoft has done is alienate at huge part of this fan base.
Sarah Bond, reverse this decision or kiss your platform food bye!

(This was from memory, the copy pasta may not be 1:1)

The funny thing is that when they realize that isn't working they'll move progressively towards day+date on all platforms. I don't know why they're struggling so much when it's beyond clear that the xbox platform is a dead dream and they need to cut their losses.
But honestly this way is better for me as the more failure they experience the more likely it is that microsoft just gets the fuck out of gaming entirely, i don't want that company anywhere near this hobby because their corporate ethos is so toxic. If they take down ABK with them that's just the cherry on top.

I'd say their plan for this gen is:
  • Most MGS studios titles remain console exclusive, some (those with more potential to sell in other consoles after some time) timed console exclusive
  • All Mojang, Zenimax, ABK full multiplatform, most pre-acquisition IPs day one on rival, most new IPs released after acquisition would have timed console exclusive
It would be another step to go full multiplatform, in a future (next gen) they'd release all of them day one in all consoles.

They, MS, don't want to assume that the money they have comes from two monopolies... they want to pretend that it is merit, that they earn worth 3 trillion.
If Windows and Office had relevant competition in the last 15 years, MS wouldn't even exist today.
