As NYU Stern School of Business professor and author of SuperJoost Playlist Joost van Dreunen puts it, “Xbox has redrawn the games industry landscape. Where historically the market was made-up of insular walled gardens, Xbox’ current strategy proposes a device-agnostic, cross-platform roadmap.”

[...]

The Series X and S have not helped it gain much ground. Omdia’s console forecast suggests that Xbox Series X and S hardware sales dropped by 12.7% year over year in 2023, despite it being at phase in its lifecycle that would traditionally be considered a “growth phase” and releasing what should have been a blockbuster exclusive in Starfield. “To make matters worse, we’re expecting the seven-year-old Switch to have outsold Xbox Series X/S by almost a factor of two in 2023,” says Omdia senior games analyst James McWhirter.

[...]

Xbox’s kingdom cannot be built on subscription alone (especially if key developers aren’t sold on its value), nor can it be built overnight. Phil Spencer wasn’t lying last summer when he said that consoles remained “critical” to the success of Xbox, but here’s a new reading of that statement for you: consoles seem to be “critical” to sustain the business while Xbox metamorphosizes.

[...]

There are signs that Hi-Fi Rush underperformed relative to Microsoft’s expectations in terms of its impact on Game Pass subscriptions growth and engagement and full game downloads. Releasing a late port to, say, the Switch, makes continued development of titles like it more sustainable while securing timed exclusivity on Xbox while adding value to Game Pass.

[...]

But the real growth Xbox seems to be banking on remains its gaming ecosystem, centered around Game Pass and xCloud, reaching as many devices as possible.Xbox is dreaming of a future in which the “Xbox audience” isn’t just the people who own Xbox consoles, but contains Switch owners, PlayStation owners, mobile gamers, and more — all of them playing Xbox games.

It's done. Only the shills don't get what is happening. As AshHunter said, they're breaking it to them slowly. This article is massaging in the reality that Xbox's grand "ecosystem" is being a 3rd party publisher.

Basically a 3rd-party publisher? Why are journalists and "analysts" acting like it's never been done before?

Newsflash: You can play EA games on Steam, Origin, Switch, Cloud, GP, PS+, Xbox and PS. Amazing! WoW! The industry will never be the same. EA is the GOAT 🤯

Isn't Joost Van Dreuren the paid shill that submitted a tome to the CMA begging MS to be allowed to buy ABK?

Edit: Nvm that was another shilling Joost. Reitveld.

These people are just paid to say what MS wants them to say.

There is no grand strategy. There's a grand defeat in the console arena and now that they've been fucked and humbled, they're becoming a regular third party, like countless failed hardware competitors before them.

This started some smear campaign against reforge gaming. Piled-on further by the likes of Paul Tassi who pretty much enabled his army to personally attack Reforge all day — over Xbox news - and this is the instance I lost all respect for Tassi. He’s a bitch and a twitter whore.

In a recent Bloomberg interview, Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, spoke about the state of play for the gaming industry following the recent closure of the Activision Blizzard acquisition. During that drawn-out saga, pledges were made to bring Activision Blizzard’s games to other platforms for years to come – and that includes publishing Call of Duty titles on Nintendo Switch for the first time.

Nadella talked about being a ‘good publisher’ on platforms that, up until a few months ago, would have been seen as strict competitors.

How Xbox Is Changing the Nature of Exclusivity - IGN

Conversations with a number of industry analysts have convinced me that 2024 is the year we finally start seeing Xbox’s grand ecosystem strategy - and all it entails for exclusivity, multiplatform play, and cloud gaming - finally start to take shape.
