[Bloomberg] Microsoft’s Gaming Chief Is Still Looking for Acquisitions, Sees Future Growth (Handheld Planned, No "Red Lines" for what comes to PS5)

The fact that he actually mentioned Halo is nuts

The executive, who has repeatedly professed his admiration for handheld game devices, said the "expectation is that we would do something" in that category. Although the company is working on prototypes and considering what it might do, Spencer also asked his group to look at the market and develop its vision based on what it learns. Such a device is a few years out, he said.

No Red Lines

After releasing the first batch of Xbox games for Sony Group Corp.'s PlayStation and Nintendo Co.'s Switch, Spencer is pleased with the results. Microsoft will do more of that, he said, and won't rule out any game in Microsoft's stable.

"I do not see sort of red lines in our portfolio that say 'thou must not,' " he said. It's too early to make any sort of decision on the next version of Halo, he said.

Acquisitions

Deals that add "geographic diversity," including in Asia, might be worthwhile, Phil Spencer said in an interview Tuesday at Bloomberg's offices in New York. Buying another mobile company would add to titles Microsoft picked up in its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard last year, he said.

I knew you was peeking around the corner waiting...

also, this big next gen handheld is still just a thought in phil head. There were people saying they were gonna release it next year or the year after with a new console

I doubt this ever makes it to market, like the other dozens of prototype hardware they’ve talked about (streaming device, VR device, cylinder xbox, dualsense controller, etc)

The War is over.
Now watch them dress up as PC Stans.

Thats the next step.

I just find it funny how the beginning of the year phil spencer was saying, “don’t worry yall its just 4 games, we’re just testing the market”

And you had people saying “oh it’s a nothing burger” “nothings really changing”, now Phil is out right saying they are porting everything. It hasn’t even been 8 months since that podcast with the 3 of them sitting there looking stupid.

But why?

Phil literally said any game is potentially available at the xbox 3rd party talk event, and you made a thread about it.

This is literally like your 3rd or 4th thread pretending to be surprised about the same thing.

You got more threads about xbox games coming to playstation than there are actual xbox games on playstation.

Keep begging breh, somebody gotta make that PS5pro sing

Can't believe a thing they say when the stock is always shifting.

“Some games will come to other systems on a case by case basis, as has always been the plan. We got new hardware in the works”

Useless info as everything is “plans are” “maybe” “considering”

That tells us absolutely nothing.

Microsoft already said games are on a case by case basis.

Only way to know which games will come to PS5 is if/when microsoft announces it.

Stop giving these dudes clicks just so they can come back and say “plans changed”

Microsoft deciding ‘case-by-case’ about future Bethesda games on PS5, Switch

Exclusivity is the billion-dollar question

www.polygon.com

It’s been case by case for almost 5 years now.

Like i said yall been shadowboxin with strawmen since this announcement

Case by case basis no red lines

nothings changing, everythings changing

Former Xbox Boss Won’t Rule Out Halo Coming to PlayStation - PlayStation LifeStyle

The idea that Halo – one of Xbox's biggest franchises – could ever come to PlayStation is just one of those dreams that may never come to fruition.
