I think that's mainly because they blew the launch. And their first party games have been mostly okay. They never recovered this generation. Even with Game Pass.
My impression is that Sony doesn't want to play nice in any way with the other 2. They simply want to do their own thing and that's all that matters to them. I mean I get that, but it would be nice if they eventually started warming to the idea of playing nice with Microsoft and Nintendo.
I get that. But I don't think it will be enough to get them back to previous successes.
Fair enough. There's a fine line between being in on the joke and being inclusive with it.
I'd be willing to bet that with game pass, xbox live, xcloud, xbox hardware, first party sales across pc+xbox, and third party sales microsoft will be making more money from the xbox division than ever before.
Well, fair enough. I am notoriously bad at analogies. Can you provide a better one?
Yeah, props to them too. I give a lot more credit to Microsoft for actually initiating this stuff but I'm pleasantly surprised that Nintendo is seemingly receptive to it. It's a bright future for the industry if all this stuff pans out.
Those two statements conflict with each other. Having more games on more systems (or devices - phone, tablets, PCs whatever) is being made possible by streaming. No one is going to make the jump to streaming only anytime soon.
This would be nice but in reality, what is going to happen is Destiny won't appear on any of the streaming services until Microsoft/Google/Amazon pay Activision for streaming service exclusivity rights.
Well someone has to think of the children!
It's happening. MS knows it has no future in a traditional console approach. The platform is all that matters going foward, and they cant do that alone.
That's on Studio MDHR, not Microsoft. As far as I know, Cuphead's current Microsoft exclusivity is self-imposed. Maybe Microsoft might nudge them towards doing a Switch port, though.
Game Pass is in Japan. This is actually a huge opportunity for Xbox to get eyes on it in the Japanese market. Western hardware might flop, but Western games can still find good success in Japan.
Not to mention that it's somehow already an out-dated model. Tech and the industry is moving very swiftly. It's very much a case of looking forward to beat the next one to the punch.
