This is hilarious but it's hard to laugh at Xbox about this stuff when Sony is following their exact footsteps.
Pretty all of them are just Zenimax and Acitivison titles, there's no reason not to keep releasing COD on Playstation
Love how Phil couldn't even give the Bots 24 hours before sucking up all their hopium
Putting CoD on Gamepass is their equivalent of pulling out the nuclear launch codes. If this pivot doesn't work, I'm pretty sure heads will roll and the Xbox branding will not be long for this world.
That face is priceless. Especially after he bragged about Bethesda and Elder Scrolls going exclusive.
Definitely. If you followed the FTC trail, you would know that this was never the plan. The plan was to buy out these publishers, dry out Sony out of their 3rd party partners and bolster their IP’s for GP.
Sorry had to comment on this part of the statement "to the franchises that we're building” - sorry Phil you didn’t build the majority of this, you bought it.
That plan might have worked given that Microsoft has endless money, but this strategy would take a long time -- a few console generations at the least. Shareholders have no patience for that.
CoD on Gamepass is not as relevant as people think, all Sony needs to do to negate most of the potential impact on PlayStation is to run a few PS+ discount promotions around the game release, if they were smart they could even do a 20% discount for any $70 game bougth in their store around that time, that would bury Xbox since this is it's last shot at being minimally relevant.
CoD on Gamepass is not appealing on PC where online is free and on Xbox MS makes less money if people go with Gamepass instead of buying the game.
The bubble has burst for rental services netflix,disney plus,hbo max and discovery + all throwing billions at the wall for content only to see subscription numbers decline gamepass is no different.
Interesting he used the words "Rent" because i always used that, and heard it used as pejorative towards game pass.
All of this couldnt be happening to more deserving fanbase.
Best comment I've read in a while.
Philnochio such a naughty boy i like, how he fucks their fans so gentle

Multiplatform games isn't what kills Xbox. The last 10 years of flopping is what killed them, while birthing what's probably going to be the worlds most successful publisher.
