Re: Xbox On Keeping Games Off Other Platforms: 'That's Not A Path For Us'

I think the future of gaming has arrived.
Some of us may not like it but we have to accept the industry is changing.

There are negative effects sure. You only have to look at the other industries to see that. For example cinemas closing due to cinema numbers declining due to streaming service subscription.
I'm hoping the next xbox console is innovative just as Microsoft are suggesting. I also would some titles to remain exclusive otherwise I think the only true contender to nintendo will be PlayStation. A place where you can play sony and xbox in one place.

Can't understand why they haven't made a Tom Clancey title utilising the Mario +Rabbids engine.
Surely a money maker across all platforms.
Or perhaps team up with Xbox for Halo Tactics.

They do good games, they just keep overpricing themselves out of the market.
So much competition these days not just on price but time to play the big titles.

Hoping Might and Magic comes to Xbox.

Classic Xbox move.
Could of shifted a few consoles this holiday.
One step forward, 2 steps back.
Unless the next Xbox is unbelievably special with some special exclusive games we could be looking at the beginning of the end.
I'm waiting to see how it all pans out before I decide on my next console. I'll enjoy what I have in the meantime.

Hi Everyone.

I didn't think she sounded too convincing in this interview. When asked about the studio closures I thought she avoided the qustion rather than answered.

However could anyone please explain why the studios affected had to close rather than sold? Surely Tango Gameworks would of had interested parties.

I think it's a pretty tough time at the moment for anyone to launch a game console right now.
Heck video games software is a risk with a lot of games not hitting targets and console launches can be expensive.

Money is tight here in the UK. I've been told it's the same in Japan. Don't know the situation in other regions of the world.

Re: College Football 25 Seemingly Leads To Huge Spike In Xbox Console Sales

This shows microsoft that a with right exclusive game/ games they could still shift the xbox series.
They just need to find their Pokemon, Call of Duty, Minecraft or whatever and keep it exclusive.
Maybe even collaborate with influncers such mr Beast or The Sidemen. Whatever they touch seems to turn into Gold.

However it needs to be a must play game that the world wants, or simply must play.
But with such a competitive market and so many ways to play games these days I understand this a huge task for any developer and may now be impossible.
