@Ken_Kaniff The Reddit group that first relayed this fake enws indicated that MAGG was a level 6 leak, i.e. the worst level of reliability. Extas just surfed on the affair which itself is a level 3 leaker (medium reliability). It would be nice if the site also indicates the degree of reliability of the sources
It's funny that we talk about exclusives but currently Xbox has never had so many exclusive games, and even more than PlayStation. And some are still discussing that Xbox will release their games on PS5 when there were only 4 a year ago, knowing that Indy is a Disney license. I don't see the debate at all. It's clearly not at all part of Xbox's strategy to send its big first party games to other platforms. As for this false rumor, one more!
@FuzzieGinge88 It's always the same discussion, pseudo experts who think that Xbox will make more money by putting all its games on PlayStation. It’s so simplistic and binary. If it were that simple, Xbox would have done it a long time ago. If they don't do it, it's not a good strategy to do that, it's only thinking in the short term. But Xbox thinks in the long term, that's why they will never put their big licenses on other platforms, ever! Not because of the fans, but simply because it's not good for business! your analysis is too simplistic and you have misunderstood Xbox's strategy
"Most of us know by now that Xbox has begun bringing select titles to PS5 this year, with the trend"
lol, there is no trend, it's been a year since we heard this song and there have been lots fake news and nothing happened.
Only 2 old GAAS of 5 and 8 years (SOT and grounded) and 2 small games (pentiment and hifi rush). Indy is a Disney license. All games released and announced are either exclusive or already historically multi-platform.
We need to stop giving credence to these rumors! Were you the first to complain that there was too much fake news at one point and now you're back to spreading these rumors?
There has never been any plan from Xbox to make all its games multi-platform and even strong licenses like halo, gears, forza and many others.
If exclusive games weren't important to Xbox, what's the point of signing exclusives with third-party publishers? Again at the last xbox partner preview, 4 exclusive games were announced: 5 games day one on gamepass: Wuchang, Subnautica 2, Eternal Strands, Wheel World, FBC: Firebreak 4 Xbox exclusives (xbox console and PC): Blindfire, Subnautica 2, Mistfall Hunter, The Legend of Baboo. We could cite others like stalker 2 or ark 2.
The problem with these false rumors is that afterwards, there is no debunk to say "oh, sorry, in fact, it was false!"
Scamstation is really the worst thing in the industry, they make very few first party games, all they know how to do is remasters and to compensate, they try to sign gaming contracts. exclusives with third-party games to deprive millions of players of being able to play them. It's really disgusting.
There is no notion of weight in their report, they only assess the potential negative risks, however small, without taking into account the positive effects, however large. And objectively, better competition in the console market and in the mobile market represent far greater benefits than the possible negative effects in a market as small as cloud gaming.
The reality is that the CMA does not protect the consumer but the dominant position of sony in the console market, the duopoly of google and apple in the mobile market, they prevent millions of players (nintendo, geforce now, boosteroid, .. .) to play activision blizzard games, and all this under the bogus pretext of cloud gaming, a market that represents very few gamers, very small compared to the console market and the mobile market. Their argument of making activision games exclusive to the xcloud when they will be multiplatform is ridiculous, proof that it is false with the partnerships signed with cloud services precisely. Putting cloud gaming on the same level as the console market and the mobile market is still damn inflated, their argument is extremely weak and will not be able to stand up to a real court.
Also, I have the impression there is a confusing between gamepass and xcloud. The gamepass is a catalog of games accessible for download, it is not cloud gaming. The success of the gamepass is due to the fact that there are day one games on it and a catalog of quality games. The Xcloud which is good for cloud gaming is only accessible via the gamepass ultimate, I don't know the numbers but it's certainly a drop in the bucket for really active players on Xcloud. They speak of a growing percentage, but that's normal because it's a new market, but in terms of volume it's peanuts and we don't know the future of this. It's not MS's fault if stadia went broke, if sony doesn't want to invest in cloud gaming, or if amazon with luna is struggling to take off.
It will do as with the FTC, the CMA will be totally disavowed and discredited in front of a real court. Their lack of objectivity and their ideology will definitely kill its authorities, which is a shame because they have a role to play, but with solid and credible arguments, not under bogus pretexts to actually hide a political trial.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Interested In Any Of The New Xbox Series X|S Models?
The results are misleading, The survey is missing a response:
'No, I already have one
Since we are on an Xbox site it is likely that most of the respondents already have an Xbox
But if I didn't already have an Xbox series x, I would have taken the 2TB version and I am of course waiting for the handled xbox
