Damn, looks like Phil Spencer has officially accepted defeat from Sony. Says Starfield won’t change shyt

[The Mad Titan]

Also, this is a perfect example of phil being too nice.
Even though he is upset, he's speaking on this situation and people are going to make clickbait threads like this all over the internet.

He really should just not say anything, most stans and console warriors don't understand business at all.

 

[Instant Classic]

This would be the worst case for the video game community seriously

Yeah, I don't think anybody will be willing to take Microsoft's place. Only player I can somewhat see is Valve attempting a steam console if MIcrosoft becomes third party.

 

[Rice N Beans]

All they had to do was make great games. Why is this a bridge too far for them?

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

I don't see anything he said as wrong. What he is saying is that Sony and Nintendo has a stranglehold on the consumers and it will take more than Starfield to defeat this.

In their state of the company that is in no shape to compete or go against Sony or Nintendo. Basically Microsoft has to start over

Start over?

Xbox division has been starting over since Mattrick's dumb ass messed up the Xbox One pre-release.

They've started over for the past decade.

Are they ever going to stop it with the resets and actually come with the games like they did from 2002 - 2007, or what?

Yeah I'm pretty pissed about buying one now.

Yup, his strategy led to this problem in the first place. I know one thing, if Phil's boss I'm furious that he actually came out and said this at a time when everyone is looking at the failure of redfall.

That's what I can't understand. I get he cares more about gamepass but what is gamepass without quality games? Why buy studios to make games then?

Yeah, Phil gotta go.

And the stuff thats on gamepass isn’t even like expensive. Its the type of games you would usually buy in large chunks on steam sales.

You’re paying 15 a month and still buying big 3rd party games like Hogwarts, Resident Evil 4, Diablo IV, Street Fighter, Elden Ring, etc.

The whole promise of gamepass was that you get these big day 1 AAA games from microsoft for cheap but where are they? Hi Fi Rush is 30 bucks, pentiment is 20 bucks, high on life, scorn, etc. those are all 20-30 dollar games that get discounted quickly.

You’re not actually saving a lot of money if Microsoft aren’t releasing compelling 70 dollar games on the service

 

[Cladyclad]

They said this a long time ago. Console sales are not a metric of their success.

People are set on the brands they love. Any growth in gaming will come outside of the “console” business model.

Not true. If u told me I would bush sega by 1999. I would called u a liar.

He doesn’t say they aren’t gonna make games. They have lots of games in the works

He’s saying those games aren’t gonna change the console market share too much because people are more or less locked in to their ecosystem.

Xbox games have been releasing day one on PC and elsewhere for a long time now. They pivoted from being just in the console market a long time ago,

 

[MeachTheMonster]

It’s not 1999 anymore and sega don’t make consoles

Just gimmie forza , all this other shyt is

You paid $70 for Wo Long.

fukk outa here buddy

If there are games worth playing people will buy the system to play them... I've bought every single Nintendo and PlayStation system. If there was enough good reasons I'd do the same for Xbox... Well if I didn't have a PC.

Another example of you being clueless

Nadella put Phil’s ass on the corner to go put out fires. He’s not doing this to be ‘nice’ and transparent about the business he’s doing this because they just lost a 70 billion dollar acquisition and put out a trash fire game right after. He’s doing press because Xbox is taken a beating.

Who is he being ‘nice’ toward? Microsoft would be silent if they could afford to without letting an even bigger narrative spread. The fact that they have their corporate mascot looking flustered and stressed is a bad look.

Phil Spencer ain’t Jim Ryan, he has to talk. You act as if Microsoft is doing us a favor by having phil do interviews lol

I didn’t pay for shyt
