Re: Xbox Issues Statement Denying Rumour That Next-Gen Console Could Be Cancelled

@Titntin I could be wrong, as like all of us (we have no links to the inner workings of MS) but what makes sense to me is rather than keep lying, they are telling the truth, or at least holding the party line BUT, they are in hock to MS BIGTIME since activision, so if MS says they need to cut staff (becuase they are betting BIG on Copliot and wasting untold money on it) then they have to make the best choice, cancelling things that have been going on too long but that they would have continued supporting otherwise, same as game pass, it was okay, so a bean counter in ms must have said, right, it needs to make more money or you can it; so then it needs to make more money and they know it's not right so stick what (realatively) cheap bits they can on for 'added value'

@Fiendish-Beaver One thing i see as a problem for both Playsation and Xbox is if they are going anytime soon, Tarrifs pushing the price up in the US bearing in mind it's a major market for both; Surely a good reason to give us what we want and hold on the this gen until, when's Trump out for good, in what, 3 years and a few months? Not saying that will definately chnage anything, but it may well

@jolteon23 You said it though, MS make the money and must thave told Xbox they need to fix up and make profit (or more profit?) from gamepass; as i see it, it's the price they pay for selling xbox's soul to MS to buy Activion Blizzard and finally be able to make games regularly (which is what they needed to be able to do) but now MS want them to make money when they say and cut jobs when the overspend on ms copliot research when they say)
