Phantom Bkade Zero will never come to Xbox, and Microsoft should be called out for making a ftp game exclusive. Phil Spencer was buying exclusives at the same time he was port begging Helldivers 2. Beyond disgusting.
Phantom Blade Zero Developer on Xbox Version: ' No one needs this platform ' | Update: Devs Make Official Statement
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
They didn't call the statement false because a member of the team likely said it and some outlet might have a recording of it.
Their statement was basically “he may have said it but it doesn’t represent our opinion” so the interview was actually true
Them xbots need to stop shouting from every mountain top about fake news and terrible gaming journalism.

Jaydub is a funny dude lol. Even if I don't agree I find myself laughing.
That is not denying it… it just telling you whatever employee said it was his own option not the company
It basically confirms somebody said it.
I'm going to learn Swahili so I can write articles shitting on Xbox for IGN: Swahili
YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
S-GAME can't deny the statement because doesn't know if any of their workers really said it.That is not denying it… it just telling you whatever employee said it was his own option not the company

S-GAME said that it doesn't represent their values (normal PR statement, a company can't throw shit to other ones, specially who could be potential partners in the future) and the important part: that they "have not ruled out any platforms for Phantom Blade Zero".
Which doesn't imply that they will ever port it to Xbox, but means that at least didn't rule it out.
We'll see about Phantom Blade Zero. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Not my decision to make. Spencer might have been port begging but then again, Sony was crying about Microsoft buying ABK/Bethesda when they were doing their own exclusivity bullshit. Both companies are going to do what they want to do and that's it. I own both consoles so none of the exclusivity affects me either way but I would prefer a Game Pass/PlayStation Plus day one deal as opposed to timed exclusivity because that just doesn't benefit me whatsoever.
If you have both platforms it makes no difference, only games you will miss are PC exclusives.
You do realize by what you just said here that you are a big part of the problem on why Xbox doesn't get games like this or why our gaming industries buisness model is so messed up right?
Xbox spend billions to buy publishers like activision blizzard, bethesda etc to starve playstation and nintendo from third party support only to get kicked by other game developer
The games Xbox doesn't get are niche titles that even PlayStation fanboys don't buy. In other words, no big loss. Seriously, when an Assassin's Creed or GTA skips Xbox, then they have problems but until that day, nah. As for the business model, it's 2024, NOT 2005. People need to get over the old school mentality of 20 and 30 years because unless you're Nintendo, it doesn't work anymore. Sony IS a third party publisher just like Microsoft. Both are changing, only difference is that Microsoft is years ahead like they always are. The only company that will forever stay old school is Nintendo which let's be honest, even if Sony and/or Microsoft were to release all of their first party games day one on the opposing console, ponies and xbots aren't going anywhere because Nintendo isn't giving ponies or xbots what they want game wise.
Pretty much everything. What they want to do is pretty much years ahead of what actually happens even if people dislike/disagree with it. Look at Xbox Live, they told and showed you where gaming is going. The biggest games ARE the online multi-player games. They showed you that digital would take over. It's around 85% excluding micro-transactions, dlc, etc. which are digital only. They showed you how the vast majority of consumers are going play and how they play. Streaming is still a ways out because the tech isn't there in a lot of regions but eventually, it is how everyone will be playing games including PlayStation fans because it's where the industry will eventually go and the money the companies can make save and make is what they want. It's not a question of it but when. Even the third party stuff which also applies to Sony regardless of how anyone want to spin it is ahead of it's time especially when multiple regions will eventually end walled gardens for everyone and we both know that no company including Microsoft and Sony are going to avoid releasing their games in these regions and for what? To make fanboys happy while losing tens of millions of dollars if not hundreds? We both know they're not doing that. Microsoft is always thinking a decade ahead.
Outside of the consoles, Microsoft is making a shit ton of revenue and profit which is all they care about. If the target for their next generation is let's say 30M minimum and they hit it which they will, they'll fine with that. Microsoft doesn't need to sell 100m+ consoles to be successful while making a shit ton of revenue and profit which again, is all they care about. Owning ABK pretty much guarantees that they're not going anywhere. As long as they have a console for me to buy, I will and even when the time comes that all consoles die out because in time, they all will, I'll either go to PC or stream the games. Either way, nothing is going to stop or prevent me from playing and enjoying the games that I want to play.
