My prediction is that Halo and Flight Simulator, etc, won't go to PlayStation and Nintendo any time soon, but all of the studios they snapped up — all of that will port over. Hardware will continue.

Game pass will stay on Xbox, Phil will make sure to emphasise the value for loyals there but also the generosity of "when everyone plays we all win, blah blah blah." A consumer friendly angle will be bolded, etc. Some hardcore shills will be pissy and do pissy things and go into therapy over a plastic box, but all in all everyone will return to regular programming soon enough. Maybe a handheld announcement, idk. Having eyes on the mobile market makes sense currently.

When the hell is this update going to happen my popcorn is getting cold. Update: just saw it will be a podcast on the 15th.

Ehhh no. They have let this smolder for too long to be forgiven/ forgotten.

No updates, not 1 tiny bit of info to ease the masses. They simple sewed their mouthes shut and watched the internet fight from the sidelines.
That is NOT a way to treat your (future) userbase. Not by a BIG margin.

It's obvious that Xbox isnt for the players. Its for the payers (shareholders)

The whole we've been listening, we hear you thing.... Yeah choke on it Phil. You outright lying little shit!
No, business will never return to normal for Xbox. And rightfully so. They commited corporate suicide.

Anyone defending this business practise and thinking it will blow over should go see a damn therapist

lmao they could have just released the podcast on Monday and got done with all the drama.

That would be too easy. Instead they will upload the podcast a day before on youtube, so that youtube employees are going to leak the whole thing. The perfect ending.

 

[Eiknarf]

last week was the first time I heard of this Phil dude.
Based on what everyone on YouTube and Twitter and NeoGAF and Earth are saying about him, he sounds like a quiff

Maybe letting people see rumors Xbox is done and exclusive games on ps5 was to push hype for hi fi rush.

Hey boys,

is there a stat where we can see how many of those sold Xbox units are “Xbox only users” or “multiple console user” ?

[SegaSnatcher]

Major changes or just all hands on deck positive reinforcement of current business plans?

It could go either way but at this point i think this is all going to end up a big nothingburger.

They are not gonna get the top three heads for a special podcast just to say "Hope you guys are excited for Hi-Fi Rush" of course there will be major changes announced.

 

[mckmas8808]

What comes first?

A) this thread reaching 100+ pages?
B) the announcement of Microsoft's decision?

A!

No way this thread isn't 100 pages before MS Show starts.

 

[mckmas8808]

John was unbearable I really don't understand why certain content creators feel the need to shit on Sony when things go bad for Xbox

What did he say that was so bad?

 

[Jigsaah]

A!

No way this thread isn't 100 pages before MS Show starts.

I'm doing my part...kinda.

Somehow this is barely interesting to me. I think once Phil said he would speak on it this week I just kinda tuned out.

Guess I got a lot of reading to do. Same thing happened with the ABK Deal. It was like oh we going to court? Yea...ok I'll be back when that starts.

That's not only what corporations do. That's what corporations are supposed to do. The attachment people feel to brands is something they create and fuel for profit.

And when they are nice and behave in a way that seems to benefit the users too, it's for profit. And that's ok.

GOOD! No way they would hide behind an audio-only format.

Just weird that the tweet announcing the thing says you can "listen" to it but doesn't say you can "watch".

No, think you are thinking about Gaz. Florian is SoloKingRobert who outed himself as Florian Mueller in the ABK investigation thread. A well documented shill.

In the UK he’s earned the nickname of Colin Quaver.

Thanks to the youtuber "Oh no it's Alex" this was debunked. The guys stole a picture. Reverse google search of the picture proves it. Some people are just pathetic.

[Bernardougf]

What damage? some speculative articles that will have been proven to be wrong "In fact, post Activision acquisition Xbox revenue is stronger than ever" and some cry baby influencers that are going to back pedal and celebrate the non-death of their favorite plastic box?

In the eyes of general consumers this probably didn't even register a blip on the radar.

Yeah specially considering Xbox is in nobodys radar anyway... in fact this "event" might put them on the radar once more... but since is a nothingburguer ...well tought luck

Phil to Xbox player you will need this

When I played Diablo 4 on my PlayStation 5 and had to use my phone to scan a QR code to login with my Blizzard account, it certainly felt like a different ecosystem.

Similarly I can see how playing Gears on the Switch counts as being in the Xbox ecosystem.

I think a lot of loonies actually prefer to go down with the ship that see the captain try to change course and to aggravate the problem the original curse is to a very shitty place.

Basically Sony hasn't done anything to earn the success it has this generation

What is with this need to make non-Xbox ecosystems "count" as an Xbox ecosystem?

That's nuts lol. He must be using the "too many cross-gen games" lame argument. Or the "Sony 1st party aren't making enough games that aren't remakes" lame argument. It's only those two things that people reach for nowadays.

Manipulative AUs in the board meetings and to the public.

And they want the keys to the AI/Cloud kingdom where they hope (their goals) everything goes through them. Your data is the precious minerals, you see.

 

[Represent.]

This whole thing just made me realize even more how little I truly care about Xbox. They could go ENTIRELY 3rd party and my gaming schedule wouldn’t change. They simply have no exclusives I care about. They don’t make my style of games. They are an AA powerhouse, I’m someone that loves big budget AAA games with good stories and high end graphics.

Hellblade 2 looks like my kinda game. That might be my last hurrah for the brand.

Richard tried pushing back but John was just rambling it was such a weird diatribe when they should've been talking about how Xbox got in this position.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I have a feeling I am going to sleep during the podcast.

I am no longer expecting any new meltdown. Kinda sucks.

Fuck you Phill. Even in meltdown you can't fucking deliver.

You better bring halo infinite to ps5 shadow drop after the podcast.

I want sea of tears god damn it.

AI is being trained through our data. Companies will be profiting assloads off of what essentially is us as the resource (they already do). Think about it. We are the Tiberium.
