For sure, but let's be real, at the moment, it is being used as a buzzword like metaverse was just a couple years ago.
Everybody is injecting "AI" into evrything nowadays.
Satya Nadella talks about the future of Xbox and multiplatform. Wants to publish on Sony and Nintendo!

He says it very clearly, they are third party. Nobody can deny it.
We won boys, we won.
Now back to selling 20 million or more consoles every year.
I dislike how these answers are allowed to just slide.
How did they not have that ability before? What does buying up studios (and then making long standing multi platform publishers exclusive) have to do with delivering games to more players?
These are really simple questions, which should have simple answers. But nobody asks him follow up questions. It's amazing to me what the tech press lets these talking heads essentially get away with.
What he means is they now have some IP's people will actually want or likes. Before did they? Nah
How they handle them going forward is more important
This was from their shareholder meeting. (See the slide on the projector in the thumbnail)
No follow ups because there's no media involved

I think that in the context of a CEO throwing PR bullshit, he doesn't care if the gamers were already got these games or if they are acquired (he and the interviewer already knows this is the case).
I assume he meant that thanks to their acquisitions the MS lineup -which also implies GP catalog- now is way better than it was before, and that they'll deliver more relevant stuff now than they did before. Themselve as publisher provider of great games, or platform/game sub they'll be supposed to be more appealing now.
But well, I think that sentence was only a PR bullshit filler sentence. We all now that CoD (insert here any other big acquired IP) fans in both Xbox and PS will continue being CoD fans and will play it as usual independently if ABK is now part of MS or not. As basically happened with Minecraft.
And yes, ABK wasn't in any danger. Outside the PR mess of the harassment controversy that temporally were going to affeect their stock, the company was performing great. Pretty likely what happened is that Kotick wanted to retire with an even bigger golden parachute and thought MS would pay it and would take care of hiding the related controversy under the rug since MS is very experienced and successful with this.
The MS CEO apparently doesn't consider Xbox a console anymore.

New fanboy theory. Phil's taking over MS and until he says something, none of this is true.
Of course he does but he's not gonna name drop Playstation & Switch outright that's a PR disaster.
We now have the ability to build great games...over 20 years after entering the market

i only listen Phil.. PERIOD.
Media can get on investor calls. Also if I was a significant shareholder, I would be asking the same questions. Someone is letting them slide.
