You might think I'm crazy but at some point someone is going to use over the air antennas or downloading kiosks to feed these games to people at really highspeed & get these games to people so fast that the old way of doing things will just fade away.

You are literally having to resort to science fiction, does that not tell you how weak your position is

Ports are hardly new games. Especially when those ports are of games that have existed for years.
Then again, DarkMage is going to DarkMage. Your dedication to shilling and bending over for MS is well known.
The tag is a hint really, bless the mods for that one
It's not even that far off it's just waiting for someone to buy into it
If people actually cared about grounded they wouldn't count it as a 2022 release because it's been playable for 3 years since 2020. Using it to prop up 2022 wouldn't be on their minds.

Only the final release counts. It was kind of empty earlier. The problem is that Microsoft (since Game Pass) nearly has no marketing while Sony spends crazy money on it and Nintendo doesn't need marketing for selling games. Grounded from Sony with Sony level marketing is an easy >5 million sales.

Weird how the original quote says MS hasn’t released a first party game last year… which is false no matter how you twist it.
Even on GAF people would use caveats like « no AAA exclusive with a high budget first party game » to attempt being correct.
I guess Grubb is a turnsock trying to turn into a PS Twitter mouthpiece?

So apparently his title is VP of Xbox Games Marketing. Bumped up from general manager in Sept 22. I don't know if that also includes hardware marketing. I guess that might explain why there is very little advertising going on in Europe for example. Better to spend those resources in the US where it has its best chance of trying to maintain market share. Rest of world is basically lost and it's fairly early on in the generation.

I don't see a big surge of gamepass sub numbers with the announced end to $1 trials.Why would they? Wasting so much money on studios and services and still can’t manage to outsell a 5 year old HW. GP numbers are stuck somewhere in 25mil.
I would be pissed too. You don’t need Grubb to tell you that!
Data point from last year Satya Nadella telling shareholders less than a year ago that Microsoft was happy with Xbox.
This year, Satya and Brad Smith are busy engaging regulators to pass a mega investment in Xbox gaming.
There are things you people don’t need anyone to debunk for you. It’s a fact that MS isn’t happy with the state of Halo, for example. You can see it in the sweeping changes at 343. But most other studios are seeing expansion, increased investment, and they’re pushing Gamepass and XCloud to even more countries.

Well they shouldn’t be. Slowest Xbox generation ever when it comes to games output. I think they have like 18 studios who hasn’t released a thing this generation. And they lost Moon and essentially killed Ori. Everything big is first person too. And they made sure 30fps came back into the discussion.
