1) you could play the games natively on ps5, rather than cloud streaming
that’s quite the assumption to make that hardware wouldn’t cost more if this happens
Those of us that still enjoy consoles don't need your kind.
They should just focus on their business like Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't give a fuck like an autistic kid in the corner living in their own world , but Xbox on the other hand is the bully in the schoolyard. Disgusting!!!!
And enjoy it you should chap... while it lastsThose of us that still enjoy consoles don't need your kind.
Not necessarily true. Why does MS want phone markets to open up? It is not to port games, it is to get Game Pass on them. There is no guarantee that MS would release games on PS/Switch other than Game Pass streaming.
I mean they just purchased King, so they could have native mobile games on their own mobile platform and not have to pay store fees to Apple or Google.
They want the phone markets to open up because they, like Epic, don't want to share the revenue with Google and Apple.
That's not how it works. They would just need to get xCloud running on PS5, everything else is server side. You're actually arguing the opposite of reality.
You guys seem to think I am in this all or nothing. Of course, they don't want to pay fees on mobile apps but their big argument against Apple during all of that mess was Game Pass. Again, just because Sony/Nintendo would have to open their market, it does not necessarily mean MS has to release Xbox games native on the consoles. They could Game Pass it if they really feel Game Pass is their future. I am not saying they won't release games native (third-party here we come) but they would not be forced to.
Ironic... in contrast to this silly argument over the ABK deal if it should be blocked by the UK.
Bingo.
Just shill things.“[It] is something we’re just going to see less and less of,” when discussing the idea of specific games being exclusive to a single device. “Maybe you happen in your household to buy an Xbox, and I buy a PlayStation, and our kids want to play together, and they can’t because we bought the wrong piece of plastic to plug into our television.
“We really love being able to bring more players in reducing friction, making people feel safe, secure when they’re playing, allowing them to play with their friends, regardless of what device – I think in the long run that is good for this industry. And maybe in the short run, there’s some people in some companies that don’t love it. But I think as we get over the hump and see where this industry can continue to grow, it proves out to be true.”
Do you believe Spencer’s right? Is console exclusivity on its way out? Let us know in the comments below!

Make no mistake Jez had marching orders his article is directly influenced by the Xbox team this is their ultimate goal and some eagle eyed twitter bros noticed Tim Dog retweeted the article less than a minute after Jez uploaded it...2am in the morning
. At the end of the day Tim Stuart was talking to financial analysts while Phil did an interview for fanboys so one way or another they are expanding their first party offerings to Playstation and Nintendo no matter how much Phil wants to damage control it's happening they just want it to happen by lobbying the EU and changing business laws. I'm looking for another article from 2021 when Phil was complaining about "closed" platforms like consoles when it came to no being able to put gamepass everywhere I just can't find it.
The FTC trial revealed that Microsoft quite literally spends $1 billion a year on lobbying governments. They are basically a supernational power above sovereign governments because they control the world's computers through their control of Windows which is required for >90% of the world's computers to work.
We both are arguing the opposite of reality, this is conjecture right now. But if the marketplace was opened, and Microsoft could release their own marketplace on competing consoles in the same way they are gearing up for mobile, then you're kidding yourself if you think they won't try to do so with native games in addition of course to cloud access.
Even more of a reason not to buy Xbox's.
No shit, but after six pages, some people fail to see the forest for the trees.
Yeah and some games on game pass have microtransactions, and now you can also add King.
If they are selling it through their storefront, it wouldn't be considered third-party, as there isn't any third party involved.
Sure, but that doesn't change the reality is that porting one app over to have access to hundreds (however many) of games is vastly less work/money/resources than porting each of said games individually...or more importantly, that it would render the Xbox, as a console, utterly redundant.
Maybe I should explain it like I'm talking to a 5yo since you can't use words. Who is the third party in the transaction if it's just between MS and the customer? Is Valve considered third party selling games on steam.
The hardware or software doesn't matter anymore as they wouldn't be collecting on the people using it since it's not a closed ecosystem. Consoles will just become expensive prebuilt non-customizable PC's using a proprietary OS.
If they have to go through Sony to do anything, it's not an open platform.
What if console prices go up by like 50%+? Because something got to give and console owners won’t be able to subsidize the hardware anymore.
Lol Perhaps you should review the legislation about to be employed in the EU. The hypothetical bill for consoles will likely have similar requirements, and all of these aspects are addressed.
lol I'm not losing, because you're wrong. I'm not going sit here and write a wall of text with someone who argues in circles.
? This site is only 5 people with a bunch of alts.
Here's a easy one for you, which is probably the route apple is going to go down
So yes, native applications are still going to need to go through the certification process. It is not free reign.
Even if they charge for certification it would still have to be reasonable or else it will kill small time developers. So good luck to Apple proving that a competing storefront, run by a multibillion-dollar company selling identical software, is going to compromise the device.
