nah their plan was to force gameass on ps and nintendo but once they got told to fukk off they went to 3rd party publisher mode.
It’s hard to believe that because that would be delusional as hell on their part. The best they could have done is Xbox exclusive games service on other consoles like a EA Play type thing

what was the lie?
That it wouldnt be the full slate. They had to move that podcast up and rush it after there was mass panic and tried to downplay the games being ported. A year later you are going to see halo, starfield and pretty much every release moving forward. That was not the message being sent a year ago :yeshrug:

mixer to challenge twitch
zune for ipod
bought nokia to windows phone and take on iphone lol.

they legit thought they could get 100m gameass subs because they'll force it on ps and switch, but once they found out that was a fantasy Nutella quickly changed how his bonuses worked (which used to be on gameass growth).

As if Sony doesn't have at least a dozen more hardware flops.

Don’t forget the surface to challenge the ipad

after a while, it’s simpler to ask whether they’ve ever had successful hardware

Yea but these other companies INNOVATE. MS is usually just throwing money at something that someone else is already doing. Like Windows. Now that worked in 1983, but it's 2025 now. They haven't been the lead dev on something major in a long ass time

They are primarily a software company, there most successful and innovative items are mostly software related or tech that makes use of that software.

They aren't built on a bunch of innovative hardware really but the stability and integration of existing tech and software and improving that. This is something that the Xbox is for them.


Sony has so many failed innovative hardware products, UMD, the memory sticks, mini disc... just to name a few. But for some reason people love to list zune, phones, and mixer :mjlol:
