When I hear the term to milk something / someone it’s more taking advantage of someone or something so bit of a weird way to use it in that context but that’s ok.
Sure MS could pay for ports but at what point are SE just going to give MS the runaround and say ‘ok we will port FF16 same day but it’s going to cost you 50m, no let’s make that 100m, no wait since we saw your profits for the last quarter we will take no less than 200m for this port’ I hope you do realise companies will do this to MS because 1# they know MS is desperate to build up Xbox and 2# they know MS can afford it.
MS can’t just go around and pay every publisher money to release their games on the platform, as much money as they have that is just stupid spending and it’s why you aren’t seeing it. I know it personally hurts fans of SE to see this happen and it might feel like Xbox isn’t doing anything but they are and they can’t just hand over money every time a publisher demands it to port a game because that will get around then other publishers would start to do the same.
The fact they just announced a FF side project day 1 on Xbox could be a good sign, that’s another thing you need to think about all this stuff has been set in motion for a long time and we don’t know what the future looks like with Xbox selling well in Japan and globally by the time the next FF comes out after 16 they might launch on all platforms after some hard work from MS.
input latency for me is horrible on certain games mostly FPS, it’s also funny playing something like BFV and seeing your ping being much lower because the Xbox in the data center is closer to the game server lol. I tell ya though, my very first stream of Forza Horizon 4 was insane the graphics looked native and there was no artifacts or ghosting at all and the lag was so minimal but it has degraded a bit now, they probably need more consoles.
. 60fps games the input lag is very low.
. from the browser looks better than using the Xbox app on PC or phone.
