Phil Spencer- intent is for all Xbox games, including Call of Duty, to be available on Xbox Game Pass Day 1. Not doing away with physical media & more

“I don't think we're doing a good enough job finding new players,” Spencer said. “Let's pick consoles as a good example: We found 200 million global households that will play console games. And that number really hasn't changed in the last five, six years.”

“We've raised the price of games,” he added, acknowledging the increasingly common $70 price point following nearly two decades of $60 games. “We went through COVID. We found ways of getting more money per player. I think at some point you reach a peak on that, and, frankly, it can go to some places that are manipulative that I'm not a big fan of.”

The solution, he said, is to “find new customers, and you find new customers through new ways of delivering games to players who can't play those games today, whether that's device, whether that's access, whether that's price point of video games.”

What a bunch of nonsense BS. Gaming is more accessible and cheaper than ever. All the "devices" he's dreaming about already exist. Customers are not interested in whatever your selling, fat pig. Face the reality.

Of only it happened that way. Just like Starfeikd I doubt COD will have a big impact on subs although COD is a way bigger IP. I think all this will and is having a negative impact on COD and it's budget.
Ponzis collapse when they run out of users to peddle it to, so maybe soon enough if GP continues to contract lol. Hard to give away a flagship title for free and hope to recoup the cost in monthly instalments.

Maybe he means that PlayStation and Nintendo will get their games physically, while Xbox might still go all-digital.

Phil has lied so much in the past that I just can't take him seriously any more. He talks - things don't go the way he said they would - he talks again - things don't happen like he said they would, etc. It's an ongoing cycle. I'll just wait and see how things pan out. As well, the use of the word "intent" for games on Game Pass leaves wriggle room for when/if all first-party games do not end up Day 1 on Game Pass.

“Gaming consoles themselves have kind of become the last consumer electronic device that has a drive,” he said. “And this is a real issue, just in terms of the number of manufacturers that are actually building drives and the cost associated with those. And when you think about cogs that we're going to go put in a console—and as you have fewer suppliers and fewer buyers—the cost of the drive does have an impact."

What a load of complete & utter bullshit no one's buying what your selling philnocio

The new COD will draw in a bunch of users to Game Pass, and that'll offset the cost of Starfield. Then when they release a new new COD, it'll offset the cost of the last new COD. Game Pass will grow by having new users offset the costs of the old 💪!
