That’s a great future, but right now it’s nowhere near close to happening. Also, i never everthing need to be exclusives, i do think some games can be delivered to other platforms so long as its either of the following three things:
. Its a game as a service, it generates revenue by having people buy perks within the game and that means the bigger the audience, the bigger the cashflow.
. Community driven games that can drive people to invest in building stufff and making creatives things, it can lead to a plethora of different things for it.
. MMORPG, this one i do not need an example since Wow would do massive on consoles.
Those would be the only ones i think have better changes of generating enough revenue for Xbox to maintain exclusives games for their hardware/pc ecosystem.
At this point I am in the same boat, the community showed the Xbox leadership/MS that they don’t like this so we can’t do much anymore so there’s nothing left to do but waiting and seeing how this unfolds.
Yep, it’s a big, biiiiiiiig if, this one. I’m not willing to say I don’t believe it at all, but this wouldn’t be wise, true that. Yeah, let’s keep it in the dedicated thread.
Yes. The moment regulators require allowing third party stores on consoles is when every console manufacturer should go mutiplatform. At that point it makes no sense not having your own store everywhere.
I’m pretty confident Xbox is going to go full multi platform now. I just ask that they please release a PlayStation compatable Xbox controller with the shapes but buttons etc. I hate the stick layout on dual sense
Yep. Porting gears, halo or forza is where i draw the line. I kinda accepted the inevitable already and i m ready to leave xbox behind and go full pc. I ll maybe sub to gp for a month here and there but thats it.
I’m sticking with Xbox as main, also for the next gen. That is my plan. Got too big of a backlog of games, DLC to just do away with it all. Nor is it necessary. I don’t give a fuck about Microsoft, it’s a company, it’s business. They don’t give a fuck about me either, just about my money. Brand loyalty is bullshit, but I do happen to prefer Xbox as console…by far.
If they make a great next Xbox, Game Pass remains great, third parties don’t start to abandon Xbox, I’m gonna be good for many years to come. It just all remains to be seen what’s gonna happen in these upcoming years until next gen starts for Xbox.
I mean at this point, if (BIG if), Gears Collection is real and is simultaneously releasing on Xbox and PS, why hiding PS logo in the trailers? Wouldnt MS want to sell that version of the game too?
I would make Gears 6 at least timed exclusive though.
