is that what happened in this thread?
Yes
is that what happened in this thread?
seems they're talking about selling first party games on competitor's platform
Sony porting their 1st party games to PC was something Stans said they would never do because it devalued the brand.I don't really have a dog in this fight, but this tweet is some bullshyt.
First off, just putting games on other platforms isn't getting people into the XBox ecosystem. It's just getting 70% of sales revenue from copies sold on another platform. It's great for finding new ways to generate revenue, but that doesn't necessarily mean much for ecosystem growth. If I don't need an XBox or Gamepass to play Hi-Fi Rush, then I'm not really being rushed to go out and get either.
But I REALLY think people aren't about to let that "But everyone else gets year old scraps" argument fly, considering how much pointing and laughing was being done once Sony established that they were going to regularly port their exclusives to PC once they were at least a year old. It's the same fukking thing, but now all of a sudden it's supposed to be a stroke of genius?

Here we are in 2024 and you'd think they never said it at all.
The same thing will happen when Sony launches 1st party games day and date on PC as well.
Stan's will forget they even debated how "Sony would never"
Nah don't try to flip it, the only reason the "I'll just get it on PC" got attached to PlayStation It's because y'all swore up and down that they wouldn't do what Xbox did with 1st party on PC at all, then y'all tried to flip it I to well, it's years later, then when they started drops even closer y'all was like "well they'll never do day and date"look at this goofy.
Getting games after console sales stalled were so bad and yall were doing cartwheels laughing.
Now you juelzing
Last year of console wars because it's over.

And now the funniest part is xbox is porting their games to other consoles sooner than sony is porting their games to pc
Pivot as usualIts over nikka.
Pivot as usual
Furious about?You are furious, why?
this is a good thing, Hi Fi Rush has a chance to actually make back a good amount of money on other platforms
Them releasing games on other platforms was always on my roadmap
I'm the guy that has said over and over hardware sales don't matter as much to them.
Why would they all of a sudden stop now when they have more studios than ever before?
This is the pivot
Xbox Series X|S Remain Xbox's Fastest-Selling Consoles Ever - IGN
Last year, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced at the company's full year earnings call that the Xbox Series X and S were the fastest-selling consoles in Xbox history. Now, a year later and nearly two years into the consoles' life cycles, he's affirmed this is still true.www.ign.com
If they didn’t care about console sales why was Satya Nadella using it as a metric for success in 2022 while sony was hit with shortages?
This whole “xbox doesn’t care about console sales’ didn’t enter the conversation again until the stock shortages ended early last year
