MS is all in on gaming no? Their budget should be much more bigger now. Hell, Xbox is featured in Windows reveal streams. Xbox should be as important as anime for Sony right now, where they want to make it one of their pillars.

Third party IP I believe. I do think that we won’t have that many third party exclusive deals at all. It is gonna be Xbox first party and Game Pass releases.

Who knows? KOTOR is a bigger IP though. Stalker is famous on PC though.

Is it another “MS should give T2 to Sony”? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

They can always release a couple of old remakes on Playstation /s

Not necessary. Sony is certainly has some foundation with their PS Now, anime, PS+ and if they really play their cards right they can outsmart Microsoft. I mean, just like with all digital in 2013 year, MS was far ahead than the competition and Sony wiped the floor with them. MS eventually was right, but Sony caught up with that quickly and digital only is not a bad look anymore.

Now MS is ahead with the subscription service and Sony still stuck with the old ways. But let’s say in 5 years time they will pivot to the subscription services - they have the foundation after all - and let’s say they merge PS Now, PS+, some anime + and put some new stuff on PS Now. At that time subscription services will be much more accepted by the public and they can become akin Disney in their growth.

They can counterfire with other methods outside moneyhats: GP deals, more and more acquisitions, leverage MS immense power and technical clout, etc
Sony hasn’t any problem to leverage its full might for PS sake, it’s time for MS to do the same.

I think so but i’m also expecting something new from XGS Publishing. a new “AAA”.

Fair enough, time will tell.

on TGA? I don’t think we will have new out of nowhere announcements there. Xbox is not there yet for such kind of media tactics.

They did it last year with PD. Could easily show a CG trailer for InXile or Compulsion. I’d rather they not though.

Dont think we will see that.

Think it will be Avowed, Hellblade, Redfall and 2 other third party stuff.

I just want Xbox is achieve it’s absolute maximum potential and deliver absolute banger after banger.

Sony seems to not want that, and I really don’t like that.

It’s business I get it, but does it have to be so cutt-throat? It’s just 1 and 0’s on a disc man.

Let Microsoft have a try at greatness Sony, jeez.

This is true and everyday we see more and more games announced that we would never get in the Xbox One days (especially from Japanese studios/publishers and indies), Phil and the team at Xbox are trying to improve things and it’s pretty clear that they are doing a very good job picking quality software from every genre and region.

If anyone had the delusion that after a bad generation for the brand MS could get everything their way from the day the Series consoles released then I don’t know what to say. Some people have to realize that we are betting on the underdog by following Xbox, Sony is still the market leader and they are coming off a very successful generation
this won’t change overnight. If anyone wants to play the imaginary SH by Kojima or the KOTOR remake then get a PS5 it’s that simple (if you already have a PS5 and still complaining then I don’t know what to say), there is no way that a single platform will get every damn game
hell even the 360 didn’t get every 3rd party release and it was the go to HD system for pretty much every developer out there for 4-5 years.

We said it many times here (and some continue to somehow not get this) but the only way to make it hard for Sony and 3rd party publishers to skip Xbox is to become successful enough so these deals won’t make sense
again
Game Pass and the 1st party is the answer to this. As we’ll go deeper into the generation this will only get harder and harder for Sony because if everything comes out as planned Xbox will be a huge success no doubt. So in a way 1st party and Game Pass will play a key role in getting back a strong 3rd party support and strengthen again the brand.

Buy money hatting everything and controlling mindshare?

Look I wasn’t trying to make sense, I was just putting my vibe out there man.

Don’t harsh my - V I B E -

Wait a minute, is this like Tony! Toni! Toné!?

Reference unclear.

Elaborate.

For me all Xbox has to do at TGA is show some good stuff. Show some great visuals, show a glimpse of the future. Which Avowed and Hellblade 2 would certainly be.
