Sarah really said “our next generation hardware will be the greatest leap ever”

She really has no idea what she’s talking about, and I’ll still bet there is no real next gen console. Their terrible sales are about to crater even more after today’s announcement

 

[Nhomnhom]

What's there to be confused about though? They are putting 4 games on competing platforms this year.

They said they will asess other games later down the road pertaining to what other games they will decide to bring.

The show is obviously damage control and signal to Xbox fans, no not all your games will be going multiplatform.

Announced they will start putting ActiBlizz games to GamePass.

I just think many people here and outside places allowed their blind grudge to also get the better of them.

You don't start a porting initiative to port 4 games and then stop.

That is without even getting into ABK games that will likely all be exclusive.

It's just like Sony and PC, it all started with a single game.

Any minimally intelligent person can deduce from it that in the upcoming years Xbox games that no one ever expected to be on PlayStation will be ported. Why did smaller games are releasing first? Smaller games are also the one that would require less time to port.

 

[EmberBlaine]

Well, that was disappointing. They kinda just reiterated all their old PR stuff again.

nah its coming. Xbox aint dropping the consoles. like i was told by @Heisenberg007

 

[Nimrota]

for now its just those four.

Yeah, "for now". Not sure how you can cope about this. Xbox is beginning releasing their games on other platforms - exactly like the rumours said. I'm sure they won't release any more in the future guys, just these 4, Phil said so!

And he said they will asess other games down the road. The delusion to think everything would be coming was just y'all setting yourselves up.

I'm sure once games can be monetized they won't hesitate to spread them everywhere.

 

[Nhomnhom]

such a let down
i was expecting the death of xbox
nothing changed
4 small games that nobody cares coming to ps
so what

How it started: "Best Rare game ever! FUN", "Pentiment is my favorite games this year by far and I'm a history buff", "Hifi Rush is a lock for GoTY", "Flight Simulator is the most advance entertainment product ever created 10/10"

How it is going: "4 games that nobody care"

 

[Entropi]

I’m sure they will only release those 4 games and not any single other game ever. LOL

 

[JAHGamer]

nah its coming. Xbox aint dropping the consoles. like i was told by @Heisenberg007

They definitely will once they see how their games sell on other consoles and how terribly their own console sales continue to decline.

Xbox will be lucky to sell 5m units worldwide this year, there’s no point carrying on with a dead platform. Xbox consoles are a failure, it’s time to move on. I suggest you sell yours and get a pc or PlayStation

Can't be a dead platform if their still making new consoles. I dont play on consoles.

 

[Dr Bass]

They were never going to reveal their full hands on this podcast but it's hilarious how much they're are playing their fanbase once again.

Yep and this includes "the biggest technical leap ever!" which plays right into the "most powerful console" stuff that the Xbox faithful seem to eat up. It's so transparent. They thought dropping that little comment will whip their base into a frenzy (and maybe it will). I'm honestly just sick of hearing from this company lol.

 

[Say1nMan]

This podcast might be more insulting to the Xbox fanbase than Phil's Kinda Funny interview.

 

[Entropi]

Just like I said, this whole thing is only for appeasing their crazy fanbase so they don’t cause any damage short term. We know eventually games will be on every platform lol.

 

[Dabaus]

I can’t believe they’re already hyping up a next gen console. They’re completely cutting the legs out from under the already horrible performing series consoles.

 

[flaccidsnake]

This doesn't come close to Satya's statements about being the best publisher in the world. Obviously it's not going to end with these 4 mystery games.

 

[Dr Bass]

Nothing they said contradicted the 3rd party oem "console" rumor. They also hinted at the new handheld as well if I am not mistaken. So everything seems to be on track for what is being suggested.

 

[Nhomnhom]

How does porting their games to PlayStation while their console is selling less than the Xbox One doesn't kill their console?

Not to mention the PS5 Pro + GTA6 combo that is coming next year while MS is stuck with the Series S...

This podcast might be more insulting to the Xbox fanbase than Phil's Kinda Funny interview.

Thankfully for Phil Spencer, Xbox fans are probably too stupid to notice.

But like, nobody cares about this lol People are JUST now buying new consoles and you wanna start teasing a whole new generation? How you gonna be supporting Series S, Series X, New Gen console and possibly a handheld lmao fucking just nuke MS into orbit

 

[Polyh3dron]

It was fucking nothing.

No change in strategy.

Leaving the whole industry hanging and running rampant with speculation.
