An acclaimed Xbox exclusive is going multiplatform this year

[rdj]

It makes sense if they built games like Fable around the idea of them being “system sellers” thats where the monster budgets are made up with console sales and increased store spending. If Microsoft are no longer placing a huge emphasis on console sales they might not view games like Fable necessary as being exclusive.

Hellblade 2 being a 5 hour walking sim with the only selling point being graphics was the mistake. If that launched day and date on ps5 shyt still wouldn’t have cracked NPD.

Another cac tweet. I know that he is because we used to go back and forth when he was editor at kotaku.

But seriously tho, we knew this was the direction Xbox was going. Since game pass was announced

If that were true there wouldn’t have been absolute meltdowns about the possibility of just hi fi Rush being ported to other consoles early last year.

There’s a lot of revisionist history going on with Xbox’s current strategy and I’ll just continue to bookmark these post and bump them the next time they announce a another strategy shift

This “project latitude” is something that was first mentioned by xbox this year

Nah. I'm talking from a perspective that I saw coming as soon as Quantum Break was announced day and date on PC. Not from a fanboy one.

Then Gamepass announcing day and date for 1st party exclusives. That conditioned some gamers not to buy games.

Then the acquisition of publishers (not studios). Buying Zenimax with all of their IP just to make exclusives? That was never going to happen. Then the ABK deal. Fanboys were frothing at the mouth about making COD exclusive. While I said that, why would MSFT pay 70 billion to make ABK exclusive games. Brehs must've forgotten about Mojang.

There are more examples but the writing has been on the wall. Especially with what Satya and the CFO have been saying to investors

Its wild because those leaked emails going into this current generation Phil Spencer swear he had the winning move with consoles after the ps5 was revealed.

Thats why i know this new strategy is burning him up. Phil Spencer, Aaron Greenberg, Matt Booty, these guys are old school console warriors. They value the xbox brand and box, they want to stand side by side with Nintendo and Playstation, not as some abstract omnipresent thing supporting them. They like the fanfare and the culture around consoles.

Mark my words early next year there’s gonna be a big shake up in management. If you noticed Sarah Bond for the first time wasn’t at the game awards with them

Most likely. Then you'll hear some fanboys like Colt Eastwood saying that Phil Spencer wasn't the guy.

Saying that Sony needs to stop putting games on single player games on PC.

I do think putting first party games on steam is a mistake and they will regret it by next gen.

Jizz is most likely referring to third party exclusives.
