    Phil may have found 200 million console users, but I'd bet my life that most don't understand how Game Pass works. It's one thing to advertise Game Pass, but without explaining it, they will never get ahead. Man, every time I bring Game Pass up with friends, family and co-workers, it's the same reaction. 'I thought that was a game streaming service?'. They're shocked you can actually download the game directly as if you're purchasing it etc. Out of all the things Phil needs to tackle, this is the biggest.

      Shame during the "business update" during the "forward compatibility" jargon section, Phil failed to mention the world "physical" even once. He had the gaming industry's attention and failed to communicate something yet again.

      Games like Hellblade 2 and Pentiment are actually cheaper digitally than they would be physically. Instead of $60-$70, Hellblade 2 is $50, likely in part due to it being digital-only.

Regarding Pentiment, it's only being sold by limited Run Games which means, physical it'll only have a smaller number created.

    I own both a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox Series X, but I find myself playing the Xbox more frequently. Additionally, I have a powerful PC equipped with an RTX 4090. I believe it's a smart move to release games on both PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. It allows companies to expand their player base and generate revenue. Since these games are developed by Xbox Studios, Microsoft can gauge player engagement across different platforms, which is valuable information.

      Time has nothing to do with it. The games are either small and therefore easy to port or they are live service, which means they benefit the most from reaching more player. None of that suggests that they won’t go day one for different kinds of games down the road. In 2016 Phil promised the same slow approach for PC and we know how that ended up going. And that was before XOne fully crashed and XSeries started underperforming XOne.

    NAND chips are still only growing in popularity, this is an industry that will never shrink. It currently costs $10 for a 64GB SD card but that's retail margins, bulk pricing will be less.
    Nintendo actually has the best physical media strategy moving forward because a card reader costs nothing to include with the console, and even if cartridges are "more expensive" than Blurays the margins will eventually shift to cartridges being outright cheaper than discs.

    So yeah, they're here to make money but if the market thinks games will eventually come to Playstation? They're just going to buy Playstations. And they won't subscribe to gamepass- PC gamepass hasn't reallllly worked out for them. So I don't really see how chasing short term revenue and sacrificing long term doesn't hurt them long term?
    Like, 200 million isn't a small number. Infinite growth isn't a thing.
    Also, yes hifi and pentiment are small titles that have probably hit their "limit" on their current platforms- but when new people ask about what games to play on Xbox that are world class good- generally on forums or by word of mouth I see people say, "pentiment, hifi rush."
    Those games aren't there anymore so what "great" games is there even to point to?

    Disk drives on console are basically only used for installing games and playing movies from disk and the amount of gamers buying physical games is ever shrinking.

    That 200 million number is not a finite figure. There are always new people being born onto this earth. It takes them til they are at least six or seven years old to start playing games. Therefore, there’s just a lag in the growth. Obviously, there are always people dying also. The point being, that saying that there’s no future growth potential is essentially saying that we have reached a plateau in the human race and we are throwing our hands up because we don’t know what else to do.
    I don’t believe this has anything to do with any plateau. Because any company always has a chance to take a bigger piece of the pie. Piecing together what Microsoft has said over the past few years, we can see the bigger picture. Exclusive AAA titles are too expensive to make, we would rather do smaller AA experiences with future potential growth, Game Pass is the future of gaming with the potential to reach everyone everywhere, now we are not reaching everybody we thought we could… so, let’s take our titles multi platform and see if we can fish on a bigger platform.
    This says to me that the Game Pass model is not working. That it is too expensive to keep up with launching day one AAA titles to, considering our user base. So we have to spread our wings in order to keep growing revenue or we continue to wallow in our own decisions… it’s as simple as that. If 2026 and the next most powerful console in the world, leaping further than any console from any generation before in Power, doesn’t draw in more gamers launching a few years earlier than the competition… I think it’s over from Microsoft in the hardware market.
    I think Microsoft as a company has hit its Plateau. Not just Xbox. People don’t trust Windows anymore. As a OS, they haven’t been able to keep up with Apple. Sure, it’s more open source and you can do more with it… But that just leaves it open to hackers and fraud. Which has been an issue for the past 15 to 20 years. So my guess is, Windows 12 is going to be a macOS clone. It’s also going to be on the console, making the next console a PC. with extreme backwards compatibility. Not to mention, the next console will be able to play PC games. Which means, it can also play… PlayStation games. Checkmate.
    That is my guess as to the future of Xbox. It’s going to be a powerful closed box PC that is going to be able to play games from everywhere. Which puts Sony in a very awkward position. Not only are they behind on hardware, but now the competition can play their games. and Sony can’t pull back from PC gaming, because based off their latest financials… They need it. We are at an interesting crossroads and scenario right now. If this happens, it will be the biggest and best business move in history. Especially considering that a handheld could be launched, and people around the world could play Xbox, PC and PlayStation games on it. Thoughts?

    @vullord666 Před 4 měsíci +3

    The problem I have with this, is Xbox as a brand doesn't feel strong enough to be making moves that muddy it's value right now. There's still a lot of work to be done to make Bethesda and ABK games feel first party (like did they not see the Blade announcement fiasco?). And in terms of first party games that feel like Xbox games, there's so few. Xbox fans pointed to grounded and sea of Thieves as their safe havens when the first party drought was at its worst (literally 2 years ago). Even now we're getting announcements for first party games going multiplatform BEFORE Xbox fulfills its promises to its gamers about ABK on Game Pass and their first exclusive of the year (Hellblade). In terms of marketing this is a mess. There's an official Xbox wire post about the multiplatform decision (two now) and they're just such desperate damage control. It just astounds me how Xbox thinks it's okay for their brand to deliver some of the most beloved exclusives (Hi Fi Rush is probably the most genuine good sentiment an Xbox exclusive has gotten in a long time) to other platforms while NOT fulfilling promises to their consumers on their platform.
    I see so much trying to excuse this behavior and act like it's not an issue. People have really changed their tune on Hi Fi Rush this year compared to when it launched (it's gone from Xbox's best exclusive ever/in a long time to "eh it's not that important"). People don't seem to understand brand marketing. Microsoft doesn't even need exclusives, they need consistency and clear messaging to consumers and they don't have that. When you have to soothe your consumers like toddlers after making a business decision... maybe think some more about that decision? I would at least say wait long enough for a game to feel exclusive like Hi Fi Rush. Hell, Sony takes more time after a release to put a game on PC than Xbox did for Hi Fi Rush on PS.

The desire for short term cash is much stronger than the desire to build back a console fan base like they had in the xbox 360 days when xbox had "must play" games. Their next big console won't sell well with no true exclusives. With nearly all console players on playstation Microsoft will just sell a cheap gamepass player to the casual market. Everytime there is a new big playstation release you can see facebook full of people trying to sell their xbox to switch to PS5. Starfield was far too weak a title to be must play console seller.
