Incoming announcement on Xbox titles future exclusivity and publishing

What the hell is going on?

Sometimes companies will tell different things to different people internally in order to find who a leaker is... or even to confuse the rumor mill.

This or they heard different rumors at different times in the internal development of their eventual policy... or another possibility is that MS is pretty big and not everybody is on the same page yet (there must be a lot of pressure there right now).

I wonder if some of the mixed messaging is because Tim Stuart’s camp is leaking long term plans while Phil’s camp is trying to damage control by downplaying rumors basically damage controlling?

Where are people getting the idea that it's on Monday from? Phil's tweet just said next week and didn't mention a specific day.

I bet it's Wednesday, the day they meant to get SEGA, but SEGA's wrath gonna get them.

Imagine its just Hi Fi Rush and Halo collection on Switch, no day 1 on Gamepass and we’re all the just getting excited over nothing lol.
I personally doubt there gonna stop making consoles and go full 3rd party, I hope Im wrong

No day 1 on GP would be a huge LOL, to the shills that spent the last 6 years telling us it was the future, and that it was going to be the thing that helped Xbox overtake PS.

There's also the possibility that big daddy Microsoft is stepping in and dictating policy after so many years in the red at Xbox. This is the greatest possibility imo because the current picture shows a marketing in disarray and most people were caught unawares then Phil's weird tweet revealed a change in the pace of the policy reveal.

Nice summary, agree completely.

I dont really watch these guys but i'm interested to see how they respond to the recent news. Watching this now.

I just hope that if MS plan is to move to Windows Consoles that Valve will step in and make SteamOS available to every manufacturer to completely kill MS plans out of the gate.

PlayStation vs SteamOS vs Nintendo

That would be the best thing for the market, three completely different approaches, no Microsoft/Google/Amazon/Apple involvement.

A SteamOS console would reintroduce free online to consoles, much better storefront with a lot of features, great refund policy and the option to use your console as a general purpose computer.

Well, that would really complicate PlayStations PC publishing plans....

Another good thing that would come from this. Sony should be all about PlayStation, that is how they got to where they are.

Why is that Xbox/Halo fanboy a regular member of a PlayStation podcast? Xbox Live t-shirt?

The other day he was praising MS introduction of paid online as if it was the best thing ever, thankfully Colin steeped in and pointed out that if not for MS paid online would most likely not be a thing on consoles. Paid online has cost the average console only gamer that plays online hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years.

He has about 3 things he says all the time... "Thats wild", "So egregious", "Halo.... "

I dont mind him too much but he just doesnt add too much to the discussion.

I mind him, the other two guys have much more interesting takes, this dude is always talking about Halo, Destiny, Bungie, MS, that is not what I want to hear about in a PlayStation podcast.

Dude favorite console is the Xbox 360, I can't take a guy like that seriously. I hated the Xbox 360 and that was before I was even a PlayStation fan (the Xbox 360 is what made me go all in into PlayStation).

i mean the reason is clear; colin is running a business and the market segment that guy addresses only tolerates and responds to religious fervor towards xbox.

Whenever he tries to contribute, it's really basic responses and doesn't really lead to any interesting discussions.

They have to find a better co host. Heck if Matty plays can move on from his Xbox shilling, I'd take him over that dude.

What I believe is that if the rummours weren't somewhat true, Microsoft wouldn't have bothered to say they are "listening" and say that they will address it "next week", there must be some truth to this all and I believe we shall find about it monday around seattle's 12pm.

The most reliable insider so far was the dude in that discord screenshot, and he mentioned Flight Simulator. Bet if that game gets ported the zealots will stop pretending like it's a huge deal.
