That tweet is sad and why is it so hard to get for some people? MS are clearly aiming for a digital future I mean they can't be making it anymore clear. People acting outraged cause Phil said he wants game pass on Sony and Nintendo it's like no shit he said that because that's what they want. MS is first a software company if they can get their software on everything they will just like they want windows on every PC and pretty much all their first party software is subscription services now anyways with rumors the next Windows will be subscription as well.

The console is just a box at this point that you can buy if you want to have it for game pass, disc games, games that aren't on game pass and entertainment or if you have internet not capable of streaming comfortably but if you don't want that then you don't have to buy the box. If you want game pass there are plenty of options than just the console. I own the X and S however Game pass is listed on my TV, do I need the console not really I could play games through my TV on game pass if I wanted but I like the other BC stuff.

If Sony and Nintendo came out and said sure we will allow game pass on our console I would be thrilled, I wouldn't have to buy an Xbox console, I get to play all my games on Playstation and I could play MS first party games on my PS5 like who wouldn't want that. If you asked any Sony fan if they would play Halo, Forza or gears on PS I bet any money they would do it in a second. I mostly play on my PS5 and I certainly wouldn't complain if I could play MS first party on it as well. People get way too invested in this console war shit you have to wonder sometimes.
That all makes zero sense for other platform owners to do this, unless MS gives insane amounts of money for it... Then it would make GamePass even less viable (I find it way too expensive for what it is, especially compared to PS+)... Now, if MS was Sony and they released very good games a couple of times per year and they were day one on the service it could be defended, but this is not happening, it has not happened since 2010 or so.

GamePass or no, I have no reason to buy an xbox, gamepass has nothing to do with it, their product is just not compelling. Even a 100$ price drop would not change that.

The transition of Microsoft to 3rd Party seemingly begins. It’s over, the Series console are last traditional hardware Microsoft will produce.
It begins it seems. I can see now that’s very likely the Series consoles are Microsoft‘s last console

Edit: It’s really over 🤐

I've heard of stories where some of these losers do 5 hours Christmas Eve streams about how much they hate PlayStation, lmao.
It’s genuinely sad on holidays which we happen to experience just once a year to console warring about companies they hate. Twitter was mostly silent today, gaming folks used to congratulate each other for a blessed Christmas Eve…

lol sega being dumb as always. selling marketing rights to xbox just means the game will flop hard
I think it’s the only way how Sega will open their eyes. Sometimes learning things with the harsh reality is effective. But I don’t know if it will flop in general. JRPGs like Re Fantazio do sell well usually on PlayStation. So I could imagine that PlayStation will carry the selling numbers and obviously sell low on Xbox.
