@Kooky_Daisuke multiplayer really gets boring after a day. Limited maps and game modes, no customization, no progression. Wish it had atleast HALO 3 multiplayer rank which was determined on your win count
Didn’t a capcom report just come out regarding 2021 fiscal sales with PS at 2.8 million, switch 3.65 and xbox at only below 400k physical and from total sales only 10-15% between the big 3
So job summary will be: offer japan partners lots of daddy microsoft money to put games on xbox to make it viable. Also needing games because they cant get their own 100 something studios to make 1 complete finished game
Not sure why Xbox is mentioned here. They cant buy anything big with Activision still in the works and not sure a company would sell the company to the smallest playerbase platform of PS, Switch, PC, and Xbox for the genre
Dont really see the point unless the cost of adding is extremely low which could very well be the case. Game remains bad, low playerbase and not like xbox lacks available shooters in the service.
Only other thought would be to throw them a bone for relations down the road
I mean Playstation has real stock shortages and sells out immediately. Microsoft paying the bill for chip priority. Hope microsoft doesnt stop the rewards program ever as i havent paid for a single thing this gen
Keep hearing calls for buying Japan publishers. Would any of them go for it, or atleast they would stay multiplatform as you could potentially lose 90+% of the playerbase
Microsoft is able to pay to jump the line for components so no shock there. Im shocked to see people buying it since they have only released like 3 games from 1st party since the console launched
Xbox needs to do a better job at managing what they allready have as for all the teams they own; dont seem to get anything out and have only had bad workplace reports or people leaving in droves. Buying another publisher only further shows they need to buying big orgs with a management structure in place as their pure 1st party cant get it done. (343 taking a year extra for coop)
Interesting but theres a difference between interested in getting an xbox and getting gamepass. Most likely, the poll is towards having gamepass on the other platforms to skip the cost of hardware and keep playing on the platform of choice.
@LocalPenguin if you want a nice back to the past with squaresoft, recommend you find the podcast retronauts. They had an episode that strictly talked about squaresoft looking back. Nice 1-2 listen there
@uptownsoul cant agree more. The same people who are clamoring for Cod to be off playstation and lose more than half the playerbase, especially when crossplay is now a thing
@Kohaku is Diablo coming to playstation? Or is it now with xbox trying to secure the deal with regulators. I has already crossed the game off of my upcoming releases
Another example of poor management of their own teams . They need to stop buying people and focus on actually making a product themselves. Just showing why Sony was cocky about bot needing gamepass
I rarely use my now series S for anything other than back compat games as i most play on PS and few 1st part games on xbox are for me. Think only Starfield this year will be the only new game for the system which works as i can just use reward points to get for free
Well this isnt a gamepass competitor. Merging the services together and when bought annually is cheaper with older games available. Plus the subscription size is already 51.2 million
I dont care about day 1 drops. Mostly just want to know what older games can i play and can i buy any individually as well as if they will be adding additional ones in the future
Well the people making it have never watched or played the games, seem to have little respect. Critics have been saying its bad, probably a pass for me

Re: Bethesda Devs Reportedly Feared Starfield Becoming The 'Next Cyberpunk'
Then why announce it for 2022. Again xbox created fake hype. Maybe they should hire Sony management to make sure this gets done in a timely manner.
Wondering if they pushing back as well to when they think activision deal is done so they raise gamepass to $30 and get some money from Starfield.
