(rumor)Microsoft to kill off Xbox exclusivity even more as Marcus Phoenix chainsaws out of Xbox into PS5 in the Gears Collection day 1 on PS5

[DarkandHellisHot]

Not getting Gamepass on other platforms was futile. Of course Nintendo and Sony would never agree to it but I truly believe that is what Phil sold Nutella on. Because I don't see how these moronic Xbox execs thought they'd get 100 million Gamepass Subscribers

The 100M mark is a target to be done by 2030. And until there, a lot happens. They can reach that or not, who knows.

Thing is, if their focus is growing the numbers based on consoles only then yea, they need to do something big because the hardware currently isnt moving. Have a reason for the "This is an Xbox" ad, they are trying to expand it and selling outside of their main hardware (consoles). If gonna work? For now, we don't know.

At least the growth on PC was decent, 30%. This is from the last report btw. I don't know if they told something about console users though.

A Sony State Of Play on Gears Collection coming to PS5

Only way to get those numbers without Sony and Nintendo playin ball is gamepass exclusive games, big games.

The only platform that could possibly accept having game pass, is Nintendo. But this is based on Microsoft doing things for them like 10 yrs agreement for COD, porting games to them like Forza Horizon (Its a rumour but still). And relationship between both companies seems to be good. at least is what pass to me though.

Exclusive games is over. What need to be done is funding more games, new IP's or whtv, with the money they will generate from porting their current line-up to other platforms. And of course, having a good line-up for the next 5 years to feed game-pass to grow to the numbers they pretend or at least close.

If we could discuss games civilly going forward, guys

Yeah people need to put the console warrior stuff to bed. It’s clear that the companies aren’t interested in competing anymore.

Microsoft saw that hardware held them back and they will now compete with Tencent for the biggest company in gaming. As a shareholder this was the right decision.

It wild that they can say we got hardware coming and people ignore it and are like MS is just a 3rd party Publisher now.


On top of that the same dudes that feel like that, still don't feel like Sony has a monopoly... even those they'll say Xbox is a 3rd party Publisher and Nintendo doesn't count.

Just contradictions on top of contradictions.

Just like when they said it was only these 4 games I think we all know how this will play out. As they put more and more games on other platforms there will be less and less a reason to buy their own hardware and they will bleed out. Eventually they'll come to the conclusion it doesn't make sense to invest in making hardware anymore. They aren't there yet but they'll get there.

I can say I'm fairly certain I won't buy another Xbox hardware device. If their games are going to be on PlayStation I'll play them there.

I admit I felt some kinda way when Sonic Adventure 2, Shenmue, and 2K went to other consoles too but some of y'all need to stop this console war stuff. It is over
