That’s just rude on Ori bro. I know Moon aren’t exclusive, but neither were Insomniac for decades.

I’ll preface this post by saying I own both consoles, I’m keen to see exciting new games for both systems. That said…
I feel like Sony have definitely been more successful in terms of appealing to Joe Public with their output over the past year or so. To reference a recent thread on this forum, it’d be tough to argue that, as it stands, PS5 is definitely the hit machine out of the two.
But having said that, I feel like MS have some very compelling software waiting in the wings, they’ve just had a very slow start.
But I fire up my Series X more than my PS5 as things stand, because…
I think 2023 will be a very interesting year, but yeah, MS need to pull their finger out for sure.

Not in my experience, the casuals who only buy CoD and FIFA, in my experienced, tend to be the angry bastards who scream and throw their pads when they get a hiding.
I don’t need to look at any reviewer for their opinion. I’ve got Virgin fibre with Ethernet cables and have been using cloud gaming since the PS Vita.

What kind of statement is that though. You can ignore all the positives of any product and what was left would be less than ideal, no?

Square isn’t a abandoning them, just focusing on a less is more approach with some outside investment
There’s room for both services but I wouldn’t call GamePass the best thing in gaming just because it’s cheap and has a lot of software
I’d personally rather buy top tier titles a few times a year than browse GamePass and get bored because nothing catches my attention for the vast majority of the content

The point is, if you pretend we live in an alternate reality where Gamepass never happened then Phil Spencer would be fired immediately. Checkmate.

Microsoft should've bought Respawn. They banged out TitanFall 2, Apex Legends and Jedi Fallen Order in a row.
and i'd probably have an Xbox exclusive TitanFall 3 on the way

Hardly, if GP wasn't in the picture we have no idea what MS would have invested that time and effort into.

Next year's headline: there are too many xbox exclusives. Who has time to play em all.

How is it a narrative if it's the truth? Those games were already planned to come out eventually by Bethesda when they were independent. Why should MS get all the credit for "turning things around" and finally releasing games in 2023?
They cancelled the PS5 versions. That's all they did. That's their only contribution.

Xbox currently is benefiting massively from gamepass coverage.
Xlive gold is being beaten like ragged garbage.
They left this year to bethesda, which delayed their 2 games for 2022.
If gamepass wasn't there, xbox would have a hard time dealing with all those negative news coverage.
I mean, they released the console with no game launch for 7 month.

But if we lived in an alternate reality where Gamepass never happened, and MS conducted themselves with HONOR and only invested money from Xbox division only and never from their other divisions and never considered touching series that have history on Playstation then MS couldn't invest anything. Checkmate. Multiverse Phil is fired.
Everyone's tastes are different. A couple games a year would never do it for me. I can still buy the big games, and have GP, and have multiple systems. This gen is exciting for me because all 3 are approaching things differently, and they're doing things I'm interested in.

Same as how Sony is getting credit for those timed exclusives games.

I think this year has been dreadful for Series in terms of exclusives and there's no denying it. Gamepass however is still great.
When I reflect on the generation so far I'd have to say Halo (single player) and Forza Horizon are at the peak along with Demon's Souls and Returnal on Sonys side. It's a shame Hivebusters doesn't have a standalone release, but I'd put that up there with Miles Morales. It may not be an exclusive, but Psychonauts 2 is also at the peak of the generation, there is no native PS5 version. Flight Sim is for sure a quality game too.
I dunno, man. I think Microsoft have put out some quality titles so far. It's a shame they haven't been able to keep up the pace.
Yes, I'd give the overall edge to Sony as it stands currently, but it isn't an overwhelming one sided beating like last gen.

I feel that way now in regards to game pass to be honest. There's just to much shit to play. I get annoyed by the leaving soon lists.

^ Could never argue that the timelines were less than ideal. They simply started making the studio purchases too late to make a difference for Series at launch. Had to go with the "hopes and dreams" approach there, which I would think is why they announced so many of their projects as early on as they did. That's the hand they had, all they could do is try and make the most of that. Given the sales numbers it looks like they succeeded.

Yeah no shit. Early to mid gen 360 had mass effect, bioshock and alan wake as console exclusives for a while. Add in gears, project gotham racing and halo 3 and ms was on top of the gaming world.
Which is why they are on a spending spree these last few years, they want back what they lost. Exclusive games.

But Game Pass is there. Would be like saying if Sony didn't release AAA games then they wouldn't be in the position they are in.
Well, yeah... no shit.

I agree with the sentiment but it’s pathetic to include Diablo when the acquisition won’t have even closed in time for its release. It’s also presumptive to include Hellblade, however I hope it releases.

They certainly would have been better off now had they started investing in their studios back then, that much is certain. When they did start adding studios it was a few years later than it should have.

This of course is nonsense. The argument was they have no good exclusives. Whether they had lots of exclusives or few exclusives the results were the same. Exclusives have nothing to do with the success of the Xbox brand.
It's like they didn't win publisher of the year LAST YEAR. People have such the short memories. Forza Horizon 5 won game of the year in several publications and was far from a CG trailer and it was a high quality exclusive on Xbox Series consoles. It's like the author of the article and many people here have no idea what is on Xbox but want to spout off anyway. It just goes to show that the concerns aren't even legitimate and it's just another opportunity to trash talk.
I also echo this sentiment. Xbox offers a wider variety and better value than other platforms do. Even when they aren't releasing big first party games they are putting plenty of new games on Game pass regularly.
They have also lowered boundaries for gamers to get into the hobby as well broadening the audience for gaming. I'll enjoy the one off Sony title here and there and let it rest until the next while I put the majority of my time on the platform giving me plenty of new things to play for a fair price. As long as Xbox keeps bringing new games to play they'll be fine. It doesn't matter if it's a big single player exclusive or not.
Bless you for your continued logic and sound reasoning sir.

Imagine claiming Gran Turismo 7 as a great PlayStation exclusive while ignoring Forza Horizon 5
The article didn't ignore Forza.
"The Xbox list has Forza, and Flight Sim – both utterly excellent – but that’s sort of it?"

Gamepass coverage is taking all the negative news about them.
7 month without exclusives? New Gamepass drops.
1 year after Halo infinite release without 1st party drop? Here are cool gamepass drops.
As long as positive gamepass coverage exist, people won't see how bad xbox is currently in term of exclusive drops.
You take that coverage, and you will how bad it is for xbox.

Look at what is dropped today.
You would always see article like these, when ever a company is having a great year.
Last year, while xbox was getting all those games, PS was getting its share for that year.
Just your typical clickbait articles.

So you are saying that Game Pass is a good value and the driving factor behind their success.
Yes, we all know this. Unsure why you need to play this hypothetical game.

LAST YEAR. LAST FUCKING YEAR. IT'S 2022 NOW.
God stop holding on to that publisher of the year thing. Last fucking year dude. LAST YEAR. Is your head stuck in 2021 or some shit? if they got publisher of the year this year as well, then we could talk (actually, we wouldn't because we wouldn't even be having this thread)
We're talking about all of their future games. What will come out in the future. Not what was relevant like 1 year ago. I've played Forza Horizon 5 for 20+ hours, i love that game. but fuck dude it was a while ago!!!

Halo 6, Forza Motorsport 8, Gears of War 5, Forza Horizon 5, Crackdown 3. I agree, they only want countless sequels and nothing more.

While I agree with the premise, I think Game Pass alone is enough of a strong market proposal from MS if you ask me, I don't care about new games since I always have a lot wanting to play, the reason why I actually a Xbox console is to have a separate gaming device that is not my PC in which I can play Xbox 360 exclusive games and some console only games that are in Game Pass like Gears 2 and 3, and those are old games actually...

I was really contemplating finally upgrading from my one x to a series x just last week but when I really thought about what I would like to play, I realised there wasnt much and it isnt worth it yet. I'm only interested in flight Simulator and forza horizon 5. I'm still thinking about it. I doubt there'll be a price cut before starfield, so it makes no difference if I wait until then. Right now, emulation is the biggest selling point for me.

It shows how much gamepass is saving their brand. And why people are buying xbox right now. Without that, their console would have a hard time. That is what I was trying to tell
