I love how he starts by saying sales don't matter and they're all declining and ends up with "we may see a world where Playstation puts a lot more games even on Xbox." Tries to completely reverse the issue in discussion.
Xbox content creators/media shills make it impossible to have honest discussion about consequences/rewards, positives/negatives, of MS’s strategies. Even though they have been forced to shift strategies constantly, it’s presented as some grand plan from the beginning, and every decision they make or every change Xbox forces or is forced to, is always in the end so positive and the best thing and everything is awesome and things are always worse for PlayStation/Nintendo #ThemToo
It's OK, we know it's all about engagement and that sales have been irrelevant since November 2013.
Not a chance in hell. Their games going to switch and ps5 is the only way they’re going to have some form of actual success
You can say, but it would not match reality.
God this fucking man child needs to take a bath with a toaster.
I got salt poisoning from watching that clip.
That would be bad, these games will bomb on any platform. As was mentioned before, if they go Halo/gears they need to release the MCC and some gears equivalent, maybe Forza Horizon 5 and the Treasure collection.
I honestly don't see anything else they could offer that makes sense to me. Sea of thieves? But halo:I? No way... Maybe Starfield a little bit more, but I can't see it doing well.
As for gamepass, this is what killed them as a publisher, it doesn't keep them afloat, it sinks them.
I think this all comes back to Gamepass subs not changing at all with Starfield
They are spending billions on getting third party on GP, the equivalent in cost would be happening with their 30 + 1P development teams and marketing. Their royalty fees are tiny now because of GP. They make a loss on hardware. So whatever is left, if they are making any profit, is tiny
Starfield was meant to disrupt and bring in a wave of growth. Without that happening they are bleeding and negative 70 billion in acquisition costs
The only sensible thing is to be third party and make as much money as possible as a 3P publisher

Game Pass is keeping Xbox afloat in the same manner an anchor keeps a ship afloat.
Aww, how all the shills changed the tune to make themselves feel better.
Next PR step is to demand Sony and Nintendo do the same.

If MS doubles down on this, they'll definitely have tons of shills calling Sony obsolete and anti-consumer for not doing the same.
