Me buying an Xbox was the need of a system to bring competition to Sony and it did as that caused PlayStation to lose many exclusivities that Nintendo couldn't have at the time such as Tomb Raider, Tekken, Crash Bandicoot, and many more.
@Weebleman It is FREE as playing ANY other games on GamePass it automatically covers the entire cost of the subscription, so yes Call of Duty will be free of charge!
I can't Imagine how gamers on other platforms will be able to stomach over $70.00 just on Call of Duty.
@BacklogBrad : The only reason why Sony is pushing for PC ports is the same reason why Microsoft is doing it so...The Investors!
Sony on this path will soon find themselves in the same Microsoft situation in which if there's no fan loyalty, hardware sales will keep declining and blame it on the fans.
Nintendo on the other hand is successful through and through because they know fan loyalty is paramount.
@BacklogBrad : A company wouldn't be making hardware if they wouldn't have sales expectations, just because they are ashamed in putting their hardware sales out there it doesn't mean they don't have sales expectations.
Xbox has the too many "cooks in the kitchen" syndrome and nobody knows what the real priorities should be, hardware Sales, Gamepass subscriptions, or software sales....which brings the other issue at hand in which you just can't have successful game sales when you have an all inclusive Gamepass model.
Phil Spencer knows the importance of keeping titles exclusive, but then you have Satya pushing for more sales regardless of the consequences with the fans.
If that's the case I much rather Xbox get out of the hardware business, you just can't have your cake and eat it too.
Microsoft has these crazy expectations of Xbox hardware sales, and game sales but also putting the only reason to buy them on other systems, you just can't have it both ways.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Is Launching Day One On Xbox Game Pass
With Xdefiant mediocre reviews, Call of Duty has everything to be once more king of shooters.

Re: Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Is Teasing 'A Major Announcement' For This Week
Finally !!!
But it will be really hard to capture the essence of the first Test Drive Unlimited.
Re: Talking Point: Which Has Been The Most Reliable Xbox Console For You?
The original Xbox One was my most reliable...I had an Xbox One X and the motherboard went bad with barely any dust on its fans.
Playing currently on my Series X, but hoping it won't die as quick.
Re: Xbox Adds More Perks For Game Pass Ultimate Members (May 2024)
We need more than perks...we need exclusive Gamepass content.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced At Xbox's Showcase, Claims New 'Exclusive'
@StylesT
Well why pretend it's not already....
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced At Xbox's Showcase, Claims New 'Exclusive'
@dskatter Obviously you don't see the huge difference between Hellblade Vs Doom which is the size of Call of Duty in popularity.
And then you ask why shouldn't it be on PlayStation?
You must work for the media creating issues where there none.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced At Xbox's Showcase, Claims New 'Exclusive'
The prior Dooms are on PlayStation, why shouldn't be this one as well?
The media shouldn't try to make an issue where there are none.
Re: Skull And Bones Season 2 & Free Trial Announced As Player Numbers Dwindle On Xbox
Hey Ubisoft ensure me that Skull and Bones will be playable offline indefinitely and I will support the game, otherwise I don't even want to try it.
Re: Digital Foundry Analyses 'Next-Level Visuals' Found In Hellblade 2 On Xbox
Well deserved recognition!
A great Game of the Year contender!
Re: Samurai Shodown's Delayed Update For Xbox Series X|S Is Now Available
Sometimes is just too late.... especially in an era where we have years long backlog of games waiting to be played plus GamePass.
Obviously Tencent/SNK didn't care much about this game or its fans once they took this long to add such update.
Re: EA Is Bringing More Free Game Trials To Xbox Game Pass Very Soon
Hey EA, trials are not enough... bring the actual games or stay away with those demos.
We are not paying a subscription just to play trials.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Disc Editions Unveiled, Marking Physical Xbox Debut
@Bobobiwan You truly get my sentiment about it.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Disc Editions Unveiled, Marking Physical Xbox Debut
I thought I never had to say this...but it feels great to get a physical release on Xbox.

@PixelDragon :
And yet you are the one following me everywhere....🤣🤣🤣....
Re: Report: Call Of Duty 2024 Will Launch Day One On Xbox Game Pass
@Sol4ris
That goes to show they can't really live without me....They know I'm the only one that can give them a run for their money.
Re: Talking Point: What Convinced You To Pick Xbox In The First Place?
Me buying an Xbox was the need of a system to bring competition to Sony and it did as that caused PlayStation to lose many exclusivities that Nintendo couldn't have at the time such as Tomb Raider, Tekken, Crash Bandicoot, and many more.
Re: Starfield's New Xbox Update Is Getting Fantastic Feedback So Far

Thank goodness for GamePass.
Re: Report: Call Of Duty 2024 Will Launch Day One On Xbox Game Pass
The Newest Call of Duty at no additional cost with GamePass or $70.00 on other platforms.
GamePass is undisputably the best way to go.
Re: Starfield's New Xbox Update Is Getting Fantastic Feedback So Far
Absolutely loving it!
👍😁👍
Re: Rumour: Xbox Planning To Bring More Games To PS5, Despite Some 'Unease' At Microsoft
@BacklogBrad You might be right, gamers like myself on consoles are dinosaurs on its way out.

Re: Obsidian 'Thrilled' As Xbox First-Party Game Pentiment Wins Award
Now that this has won an award, hopefully Microsoft won't go and close this studio as well.
Yes...I'm still crying over Hifi-Rush
Re: Rumour: State Of Decay 3 Is 'Coming Along Very Nicely' Over At Xbox
