‘There’s going to be more change’: Phil Spencer speaks on Indy PS5 news

The plan was to try and bring people in with gamepass to test out games they wouldn't normally try and expected them to buy them while they played them or after they finishes them. We all knew how that was going to play out unfortunately that became their downfall because of they pulled the gamepass plug they would've had more people jump ship considering a vast majority of those subscribers didn't actually buy what they played. If they really wanted to survive they would have added most games to a 1 hour or 2 trial and then that would've forced the consumer to make a choice on supporting it or not.
Man, imagine of the next PlayStation Showcase/PS5 pro reveal opens with an appearance of Phil Spencer revealing the next batch of PS5 ports.
Forza Horizon 5
Halo Master Chief Collection
Gears of War Remastered
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
That would be better than the PS5 port of GTA V opening the Future of Gaming Showcase back in 2020

That’s like saying the last-place runner in the race set a new world record.
One day I will have my dream of all games being multiplat, with console buying being more similar to choosing between a Samsung or Panasonic bluray player.
Until that day comes, however, all I can say for sure is I'm glad Microsoft is going multiplat, and I hope Sony and Ninty follow suit someday.
In any case, this is wonderful news, and I hope Microsoft continues to port their games to other devices and I hope they go a step further and port not just new stuff but their old back catalog too. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, Blinx, Blinx 2, Phantom Dust, and Kameo must be freed from the shackles of the past

Exec claims Xbox console player numbers this year are “as high as they’ve ever been”…www.videogameschronicle.com
Sony Toooooo
I am not defending him, I dislike Spencer since his "trick" to lure people by wearing video games tshirt to pretend being a gamer.
That said... Certainly he speaks like a politician, in half-words, but I see everyone making him say what he did not say.
1) He never said that Indy will not come to PS5 or another machine, no. He was asked "What are the four games you're releasing very soon on PS5 and/or Switch?" To which he replied "it's neither Indy nor Starfield", that's ALL. He didn't say at all that Indy or Starfield wouldn't be released elsewhere.
2) About the sentence
It is factually true. If you count all the gamers playing in 2024 on Xbox One /Fat/S/X and Series S/X then yes, the amount of Xbox console players is very high, way more than on the 360 era.
On the 360 era everybody stopped playing OG Xbox, but now most of Series games are playing on One and vice versa, the same libraries, the same UI, etc. So yeah in that point of you it is true.
How many of the 85 million 360s were RROD? Maybe there was actually 40 million Xbox gamers actually
Shitty moves xbox is curently crumbling after doing this and you want sony and nintendo to follow
Not a chance
Microsoft will be fine regardless of what happens to the Xbox console. If the Xbox console goes away then good! Less consoles I have to buy going forward. They can live just fine on games and software.
I need you to understand that as a consumer I do not care how well these companies are doing or how good or bad their consoles are doing. I only care about buying and playing games and the ease of access to said games. Xbox's moves are great for me and great for everyone! If their moves hurt the Xbox console itself then all the better.
I don't see why anyone would buy an Xbox outside of like, casual use or interest in backwards compatibility with 360 and OG Xbox games. I'd be interested in the latter - but I already own a 360, so I'm all set.
Unironically even outside of games the PS5 is a very good media player/streaming device and its backwards compatibility with the PS4 ensures that it has some degree of value no matter what
I hesitate still because I have 1000 digital game library on my Xbox and a 300 digital game PS library. So I would have to keep those around to play those old games if I chose to go all in on PC.
I can tell you dont understand on how console business works
You viewpoint you can only think as a consumer
As soon as a console going multiplat with their first part line up theres no coming back from it and its games over for them
Once xbox games are coming to playstation and nintendo theres no reason to get xbox
And the same rules goes to playstation and nintendo
Your idea of advising sony and nintendo to follow xbox going multiplat after what happened now is ridiculous
Well, just don't sell the consoles and you'll be fine. Selling consoles is foolish anyhow - there will always be an interesting game that you haven't played yet.
