Where it’s at.
Funny how they think it will just be switch that gets this stuff. No matter how they try to act like they're above the console wars, their hatred of Playstation has always been their prime motivator.
In the west, the only audience that would make ports worthwhile for most of MS’ game catalog is PS4. The Switch demographic doesn’t overlap much in interests with the Xbox demo.

The minute MS spent 70billion to make games for their platform with 20something million units sold (and falling sales)... Their forced themselves into looking for other revenue streams for these games, I didn't run the math, but that seems clear enough.

The thing Xbox die hards don’t understand is that MS’s biggest IPs now have their own console as the smallest userbase, generating the least amount of revenue on them.

But at least we are reaching the point of no return, of Xbox social media fanboys realizing that MS pr is nothing but smoke and mirrors, and they will get left behind when it suits their overlords. People were acting like these Xbox execs were their friends.

Microsoft gauged this generation so goddamn poorly.

Made cheap entry level hardware and marketed a subscription welfare program.

Covid era has everyone spending top dollar on premium tech. X and PS5 were in hot demand … Couldn’t supply series X units and no one wanted Series Shitbox.

Inflation rampant. Consumers spending less and consumers still don’t want to buy into your brand no matter how cheap or what Verizon plan they bundle consoles and what bag of Doritos they include free gamepass subs in.

Do we know what this means? That the general consumer perceives the Xbox brand as straight up dog shit. Consumers will rather pay premium for a ps5 and $70 full retail msrp than choose Xbox.

That’s beyond impressive. Phil Spencer truly is a one of a kind hack.

How is this a surprise to people?
How long have gamers, not clouded by fanboy delusions, highlighted how MS plan to make their biggest games multiplat?

Minecraft makes bank because of mtx
Throwing sea of thieves into the multiplat arena will make bank, COD will be no different.

The issue with that is that insiders are claiming Starfield is coming also. That's single player. It isn't just GaaS.
