I would love to see Indiana Jones, Forza Horizon, Marvel's Blade and Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Halo is good, but only as a disk with the PS5 logo. I want to see it, but I don't want to play it. I can't treat TES as an Xbox franchise. And I already played the best Gears games on my Xbox 360, so I don't need them on the PS5.
@Banjo- it's not about love/hate of consoles. It's mostly about policy of companies. I like Nintendo policy, I'm ok with PlayStation policy and I'm strongly against Xbox policy. Because of it, Xbox is kinda retro console for me. I'm not interested in modern Xbox console, but I like my Xbox 360. I can't hate it.
>why are you here, then? I don't understand.
Because I still playing on my Xbox 360 sometimes. Pretty simple, isn't it?
>Congratulations on being the first person outside Nintendo to have had their hands on their future hardware. Maybe you can sell the information to Sony or Microsoft.
@Banjo- I can't agree with it. PlayStation have better exclusive games, better hardware (more stable fps in multiplaform games) and the best standart gamepad. Backwards compatibility? Only partially. You can play only half of Xbox 360 games and can't play any Kinect games. And backward compatibility with Xbox Original is just pure joke. We can talk here about few ports only. Better services? It's just the same on Xbox or PS. Only games different. And there is PS won again because of games. But it doesn't matter for me anyway, cause I didn't use any subscription (GamePass, PS+ or Nintendo Online).
>I say this because I don't understand why wouldn't it work both ways and why does it mean the end of Xbox? Xbox has the most successful subscription and the highest number of active users.
It's simple. Because PC or Cloud players isn't Xbox players. Xbox is a home video game console, not a multiplatform subscription service. That's why it close to it's end as a console.
>and who knows what they'll do after Switch, if Switch 2 is more Wii U than Switch.
Switch 2 can't be more Wii U than Switch if it's still a hybrid console. And it'll be more successfull then Xbox for sure. Nintendo took a whole portable console market.
>but next generation you won't buy a PS for exclusivity like in the past, but for loyalty (the PS crowd) or just brand power (casual gamers).
Nope. Because there is many PS only exclusives like Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 1 and 2, Medievil, Sakura Wars, Ghost of Tsushima, Demon Souls, Final Fantasy XVI, Spider-Man 2 and etc. I got PS5 as my main platform because of great exclusive games (Final Fantasy XVI and Spider-Man 2). And I'll buy PS6 because of same reason.
It's my second Xbox-free generation (with PS. Nintendo and PC). And I skipped nothing because I can get any modern Xbox game on STEAM. It's not a Microsoft service.
@OldGamer999 yes they did. PS5 sales proved it. You buy console with stand, so it's not a problem. Proprietary SSD that sticking from console looks much more then a joke. It look like a bad joke. 1 Tb is too small for me. It's not usable. I use 4 Tb HDD for past gen games for example, so I do't need SSD less then 2 Tb.
@OldGamer999 but PS5 design is not stupid. They made the best looking console of this generation where you can add universal Nvme M2 Gen 4 SSD. Microsoft couldn't do it and just made another boring black box with sticking SSD card. From consumer's point Sony made a better machine.
@Onlyboxmatters but the most people that regret their console choice is Xbox users. It's sad, but it's truth. Xbox is pretty unpopular right now. I saw many comments on Nintendolife and Push Square about Game Pass on Switch and PlayStation. Their users strongly against it mostly. They can accept and maybe buy Microsoft games if they'll be ported on their platforms. But they'll never accept a Game Pass. Especially it's cloud version.
There is one reason why Microsoft don't reveal Xbox sales. It's because they're extremely low. Phil just trying to play a good game with bad cards, but he always failed. This time is no exception.
@OldGamer999 I'm just curious, what platform you'll choose after Microsoft's quit from console market? PC or PlayStation? Will you stay on Xbox till the end?
@Widey85 it feels like you said about me. I still have my Xbox 360. But in previous generation I chose to buy PS4 first. I planned to get Xbox One latter, but I changed my mind after Scalebound was canceled and they decided to put Game Pass over Xbox console. So, it's my second generation without Xbox and it's...great. I didn't feel that I skip any games, cause I can play Xbox games on my PC. And I still can play all Xbox 360 games. Series S/X owners can't do that.
@OldGamer999 I think they'll just make a Xbox app for smart TV. So you don't need PlayStation or Nintendo console or ever console for playing Xbox games on this TV. You'll need just a gamepad.
Oh, and how they'll gonna bring it? Are they gonna port all of their games on PS5 and Switch? Or it would be a cloud thing? If it would be a cloud, then it's completely useless thing. I don't want to use a Game Pass especially in cloud.
@IOI I think that it just unavoidable. Xbox сan't offer enough people for Game Pass. It's like a anchor on Microsoft's neck right now.
Nice move MediaMarkt👍 You're the only one who actually showing that you still need a normal console with Blu-ray drive for playing games. I really respect that.
@dreadful but it was done for the greater good. 3rd party controller devices and emulators is a very bad things, and ads is a good things. Xbox players should accept that. Small and poor company Microsoft just need more money.
Is he forget to take their medicine or something?🤔 Sony don't let him release his services on PlayStation even if he'll kill Xbox as a console, because Sony have their own services already.
@NeoRatt because there not enough XB experience. They must focus on their consoles like Sony or Nintendo did and spread it experience on other devices then they have enough new content and time (like Sony did with their games in Steam). Otherwise Xbox fans feels like they was abandoned.
But on what your primary gaming console environment should be based if not on games? Yeah, PS catalogue is much better, that's why PS5 is more popular then Xbox series and that's why I think that Microsoft should focus on their consoles and on their big new games.
I also don't understand, what the reason to own a few devices with the same library? I have a PC for MMORPG, strategic games and Xbox games, I have a Switch for Nintendo games and for some ports (Dark Souls and Diablo III for example), and I have a PS for other games as my main platform. But I don't need a Xbox because I can have all their games on PC, so maybe it's better for Microsoft to focus on their consoles and make it worth to buy for many gamers? And you can get XB experience on your ROG Ally thru Steam already, right? I'm a PS gamer mostly, but I don't want to get a PS experience on PC and Switch. I have a different games on different platforms and that's great! And you'll can't always use streaming during your travel, because a good internet can't be everywhere. Phone isn't a good device for big games.
Well it's seems that Phil Spencer continue killing Xbox as console. So what's next Phil? The next Xbox will be just a application for PC, Smart TV and smartphones.
My first and last Xbox Console was Xbox 360 E. I never wanted to have a One or series S/X. But maybe I'll get Xbox Original someday for few games that I can't play on Xbox 360.
