Well, of course it will come out, you don't need to be an insider.
Microsoft tried to sell Bing to Apple in 2020 because it wasn’t meeting expectations after spending ofer $100B on it.

With how small of an impact Microsoft Gaming is on the overall Microsoft business, there is likely a similar mindset of ensuring profitability over maintaining XBOX.
Microsoft reportedly pitched Apple on buying Bing to no avail
The talks happened in 2020, a year before Google renewed its deal.

No it ain't. It's only 4 games and that's it! Xbox is stronger than ever! I mean, hardware and software sales may be worse than its been in a long time but still, xbox is stronger than ever!

Day and date seems shocking at first till you realize just how already bad console sales are going to plummet even further from this.

Even before Elder Scrolls 6, there will be many other XGS games that would launch day one on PS5.
Blade will likely be one of them.

It's so obviously coming. I think Microsoft already have the whole timeline planned out. That's why Phil spencer said there will be less exclusives as time goes on. He knows what's coming.

Funny how xbox fans are turning on eachother. On one side you have the ones who know more games are coming and the other, you have the poor delusional bastards who only think its gonna be a few games only.

There was still an opportunity to make them day one on Xbox and release later on Nintendo/Playstation giving a little more value to owning that console. Day and date is just another rung on the bad decision ladder that'll drive down unit sales.
There's no way they can honestly believe Gamepass will be the driving force to keep people locked in for their next system over the other ones that can play an even larger library of games. Hell, we don't even know (and I doubt they do atm) know what shape GP will even be in or on what system by the launch of the next gen. It's clear they're just not giving a damn about their console, so why would anyone else?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Cause it's click-bait, he says he doesn't think it'll be, not that he knows it won't be.

Why didn't this logic apply to Starfield?

Because it was a test. They wanted to see if it led to significant Game Pass growth and it didn’t. They saw how much money they would lose with future games and changed their strategy.

This is Bethesda, not Activision.Imagine paying 70 BILLION dollars to keep things as they were.
Phil to Enron guys:
Also…keep things as they were? They are now maligned money from all copies sold from these franchises lmao

Because Microsoft were stupid enough to think it would improve xbox sales and subscriber numbers but it did neither. Console sales declined yoy and they lost subs. It was the worst outcome possible.

This is probably a 2030 game and I doubt Xbox consoles will even exist then. So yea this isn’t even really a take, it’s just common sense.

This meme is going to get some mileage. Whoever started this probably deeply regrets it. Lol.Did i miss it before or did this "meme" show up right before all this happened?
vvvvv
Because god damn...

The logical reason is that they were trying to draw people to their platform but the game is hot garbage so that didn’t work and I think that was the last ditch effort to win people back.
Now they realize that they can’t compete and never will be able to compete with Sony and Nintendo so they are going to push their games to other consoles to make money, like any other business.

I’m sure I’ll buy a copy for my PS6 or PS7 when the next Elder Scrolls releases in 2030
