Re: Phil Spencer: Sony Wants To 'Make Xbox Smaller' To Protect PlayStation's Dominance

Martsmall

@UltimateOtaku91 there's zero.proof it 100% will be at all , and if taking away stuff from other consoles is soooooo bad. Ok ...spider man ..oh wait Sony purchased the rights to Spiderman so it can do what it please with him ( avengers game) ? Ok it's not a company but it's what Sony could afford but it's the same thing

Oh and just so we are clear I don't care if they did ,I'm just making a point that EVEN if they do stop elder scrolls ( yet again they haven't yet so they taken nothing ) why is it so bad ? With the spider man case for example they could have offered him as dlc on the Xbox version and made money but didnt ...at least if elder scrolls is exclusive ppl can still play on pc/tablet/phone/TV and they have the balls to say Xbox buying activison will take away choice

Re: Phil Spencer: Sony Wants To 'Make Xbox Smaller' To Protect PlayStation's Dominance

@UltimateOtaku91 that's like saying is because Sony didn't have the forethought of making loads more money with publishing it's Microsoft's fault ?????
And there is no proof at all about future games , not one person has come and said outright that fallout/elder scrolls/doom etc will be Xbox exclusive so they haven't taken anything have they ?

And for starfield that's never been on Sony consoles and not any consoles including the Xbox

Re: Phil Spencer: Sony Wants To 'Make Xbox Smaller' To Protect PlayStation's Dominance

@UltimateOtaku91 it's business, every business that can afford to grow and buy other businesses and more future income is business , Microsoft obviously don't want to put the future of Thier business on short term exclusive growth like most companies ( Sony )it's about the long game and I'm 110% sure if Sony could afford activison they would b the ones buying right now

Edit : publishing is the way to make money ,you even get your rivals to sell your products for you

Edit 2 : what Bethesda games that have been on playstation did Microsoft make exclusive ? None that I know of

That even still do updates for ps users on fallout/ other games

@UltimateOtaku91 exactly it's about control , YOU buy the studio we will benefit from it , u can't put dlc on GP cause we want all dlc on our console ,and 10 years contact wow how are we supposed to make a game to challenge cod on just a small 10 years ? Poor us at Sony , oh and we can buy up whatever exclusives we like but you can't buy companies and have them as exclusives cause that's just wrong ..... was almost in tears writing this I got very emotional for em

Re: Phil Spencer: Sony Wants To 'Make Xbox Smaller' To Protect PlayStation's Dominance

Martsmall

@UltimateOtaku91 so let me get this right , Sony can have as many exclusives ( some your forced to buy a console to play) as they can get Thier hands on and 10 year contract isn't enough on a game they don't OWN ? But Microsoft buys a company nooooo it's a monopoly/ they have too much etc etc I can't wait for McDonald's to stop selling milkshakes because kfc doesn't sell em how is that fair right? Lmfao

Re: Xbox Has 'Heard Feedback' On Making Home Screen Backgrounds More Visible

Martsmall

@Would_you_kindly @YouTrash
Ads are money ,YouTube charge around £10 a month not to have ads ,it's the way of life everything has to be paid for nothing is free , recently it's come out that they make loss on each console ,if seeing afew ads on the dash is what helps keeps it down then so be it ,it's not a big thing advertising is EVERYWHERE

Re: Xbox Has 'Heard Feedback' On Making Home Screen Backgrounds More Visible

Martsmall

@A01 yeh take off ads ...then when they raise the price of consoles/live/ultimate to make up the difference we could moan about that too ????

Ads don't make a diffrence to me I just don't click em ,ads are everywhere I go out in the street and see em on billboards should I complain to the council I pay council tax so I shouldn't ? Lol

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Adamant Call Of Duty Will Remain On PlayStation 'Longer Term'

Martsmall

Yet again the few that scream and throw tantrums get what they want ... before I was like ok cod is gonna b on ps like normal it's not a big deal but after all thier tantrum throwing now I wish Microsoft would just say f you u Will get a rubbish version of cod working at 720p like it or lump it

@Snake_V5 they can't say that cause Sony might say later down the line oh u have extra stuff on game pass we have decided to take a extra 10% of sales to make up the loss later down the line ,or oh u want cross play we have decided to charge u a lot more

Re: Atomic Heart Release Date Confirmed With Explosive New Gameplay Trailer

Martsmall

@ThatFilbo I understand where you are coming from but ... Chances are they have already been paid for putting the game on gamepass so me playing this game ain't supporting anything is it ? So playing it or not will make zero diffrence

Edit : and let's be honest the sales of one video game is not going to change Putin's mind about the invasion of the Ukraine,most countries have already taken things worth millions maybe even billions off the power ppl and still the invasion goes on

Re: Xbox Boss Remains Confident Activision Blizzard Deal Will Be Approved

Martsmall

@Romans12 they make too much money from Sony for it to ever be exclusive to Xbox ,exclusive Xbox dlc/cosmetics /maybe even maps but the game itself won't be ,he's already said it's gonna be like minecraft ,keeping in the same systems and even adding
it to more ( Nintendo )

It makes gd business sense make money for your competition selling your item
@Ryall what impressions ? Saying they will make it like Minecraft that's never been taken off Sony ?

Re: Xbox Boss Remains Confident Activision Blizzard Deal Will Be Approved

Martsmall

@Titntin because Sony wants Xbox to not have anything exclusive to them after the deal expires, they were offered 3 years more of having exactly the same version as Xbox but Jim Ryan said that wasn't long enough , then proceeded to
Publicly say that Microsoft said we could have cod for 3 more years , not that it was a 3 year parity deal so to get ppl to think they were losing cod and kick off

Jim Ryan lied cause he knew the fans would kick off with him but they didn't think that microsoft would send a open letter to every one and the cma telling ppl what was really happening and .... Still there are ppl that think cod will be exclusive to Xbox after a few years even though he's publicly said a lot of times he has no intention of keeping cod off Sony ..but has never said Xbox won't have exclusive cod stuff

Re: Xbox Boss Remains Confident Activision Blizzard Deal Will Be Approved

Martsmall

@Tharsman I think for the price that some codes go for ( closed beta codes & the burger king cod one ) the companies are the one that pay out to include that stuff and some ppl are the ones making one hell of a profit off em, they might b where they are put off , many closed beta have turned Thier games in to open betas cause of the price of the codes going on eBay

Re: Xbox Boss Remains Confident Activision Blizzard Deal Will Be Approved

Martsmall

@Kaloudz you right it is that way and always before anyone else that's the world we live in unfortunately or these exclusives wouldn't bring in any money ,
I do like the single player but not played the multiplayer for years ,I got fed up with the sore losers ....u killed me with a newb weapon etc etc .... Does it matter Ur still dead? Get over it if you don't wanna be killed maybe switch to playing Monopoly

Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Ping Temporarily Disabled Due To 'Wallhack'

Martsmall

@Dezzy70 maybe sony had it put in the contract that xbox couldn't bundle the game with it over here , I know target are giving cod away with a Xbox console in the us so it's not the same here , and I can imagine if Sony have that put in Thier deal the us would cost way way more than the UK so Sony didn't do it

Re: Xbox Boss Remains Confident Activision Blizzard Deal Will Be Approved

Martsmall

@Kaloudz same here the sooner it's done the better , i agree with everything u have said like I've said in other posts this is about the exclusive gp stuff we will get and the amount of money sony will lose to the casuals that will buy another console just for them and once they do move to Xbox Thier friends will as well ( they can't have one of em having a weapon that they won't lol ) ,one thing I will add is I expect some sort of spyro crash game to be Xbox exclusive even if it's Microsoft just shoving Thier finger up at Sony after all the stink they have thrown up over this deal ( the only company that has)

Re: Xbox Insider Program Delivers More Dashboard Improvements

Martsmall

@YouTrash your getting me wrong I'm not defending it at all, I'm just saying the video doesnt show the full picture , ,but they have brought back pins /pinned games that they didnt have last week which I wanted , as far as all the other stuff they should get rid & hopefully they do

Re: Xbox Insider Program Delivers More Dashboard Improvements

Martsmall

@YouTrash Yes I did the video isn't showing the part where u can have pinned games ,you can have games pinned to the dash without them being in a group and I don't have to watch the video I have the dashboard ,
It goes like this

Something game pass ,
Pins group,
Pinned game ( which the video has none ), pinned game ( again the video has none ,
Something game pass ,
Pinned game ,etc etc
Edit
I've created a video to explain ,I apologize for the crudeness I have no capture card it's done by phone
