  • Phil Spencer was recently on the Xbox stage at Gamescom 2024 to discuss their strategy with Xbox PS5 releases in the future. He had a few interesting statements that I wanted to dive into. The Xbox CEO talked about how the industry is shifting, how recent Xbox news we missed includes the fact that more players are on Xbox consoles than ever before and that Xbox PS5 releases are something we should get used to. Let's discuss and see the community reaction right now.

    The only time Sony will port their exclusive games on Xbox is only when Playstation is in the same situation as Xbox. Losing generation after generation. If Xbox was number one, they would NOT be doing this. That's my opinion.

      I would think that is common sense but also making software is WAYYYYY more profitable than making hardware should be common sense LOL. If they can sell all their subscriptions and games to sony, nintendo and PC users and save all the R&D on making systems (often at a loss) that will be a very smart move. Netflix didn't get rich from selling TVs after all.

      If you think about it, the same thing is going on with Xbox games on the PlayStation. At least at this point. Indiana Jones is not going to hit until June of next year, at least. If Microsofts keeps up releasing their games at a later date… On PlayStation, I don’t really see an issue. Because we are getting games six months or longer before PlayStation. We are getting them free(technically $18 a month) via GamePass and because there’s a 6 month gap… we will probably be getting any DLC long before PlayStation will.
      I think the delay with WuKong is simply a Microsoft policy one, with day and date S and X releases. Had Microsoft simply kept the memory amount the same across both consoles, this wouldn’t have been an issue. But, as it is, it forces developers to do extra work, in order for their games to fit in both memory footprints. While it isn’t the case in most games, I think there are some developers that just don’t have the manpower to stretch across three consoles. Which is essentially what they are doing with the S, X and PlayStation.

    I don't like this "case by case" style answer. I prefer an honest answer like: "the Xbox hardware business is no longer our main focal point. We will continue to offer an option based on consumer interest but moving forward we will refocus our efforts on publishing our software and services across multiple endpoints". Very straightforward and a message that empowers consumers to make informed decisions. Clearly development decisions are not made on a case by case basis.

Microsoft basicly has NO chance of regaining marketshare in the gaming space on there own Windows platform. Not only that, but even Windows itself has been slowly slipping away from gamers the better Valve makes Linux work for gaming, which when working right is more lightweight/faster then Windows, and Valve is seaming close to releasing and giving the option of SteamOS on at least more devices soon like the ROG Ally which would be imo a big bump in FPS in many games compared to windows once the benchmarks show up, that it may make more people switch.

And it's not like any of this is surprising, the Xbox team has been moving away from hardware exclusivity since last gen. The fact that they made sure to put every Xbox game on Windows 10 as well was an early sign that they had more faith in their software division than their hardware division.

    My two cents is as a person who is old enough to have played video games on an Atari 2600 to Xbox Series X this is another example of people who don’t understand the video game customers making moves. Forever I was a PlayStation guy. I had the one and two. I was so dedicated that I took my PlayStation on deployments. Then I saw the advertisement for KOTOR and I wanted to play that game but it was on Xbox and I had never heard of them. I told my wife and for Father’s Day she bought me my first Xbox. I stayed with Xbox through the red ring of death years. The we have no decent game years of Xbox One to the we have the most powerful console on the market but no games that actually use the hardware available years of the Series X. Now I’m supposed to stay with a brand (cause at the end of the day despite what Phil Spencer thinks, that’s what Xbox is) for a game that I know is going to be on PlayStation and will continue to be developed in a way that doesn’t take advantage of the hardware available with the current Xbox console because it wouldn’t be cost-effective to develop a game that uses one consoles capabilities over another. And while I don’t want this comment to go on too long, I would say that I understand they have to recoup the cost of purchasing companies like Bethesda and Activision, It’s moves like this that become the double edge sword that is cutting Microsoft right now. If you focus on games that are exclusive to your brand, you can never recoup the amount of money you spent on purchasing large developers like Activision, but you also take away the incentive of playing games on an Xbox or even subscribing to Game Pass. I have no desire to play on a PC, especially considering the cost and the constant updating you would have to do to said PC in order to play games in the future. I guess loyalty to a brand is an outdated concept and I guess I am too.

      lol. Yeah cuz Activision and blizzard were only exclusive to PlayStation before they were bought by Microsoft….lmao. Those studios were making ports for both consoles. So no, Microsoft didn’t do anything heroic for gamers by purchasing those studios. 😂
      The reality is that Xbox thought it would have a huge fanbase behind them by purchasing those studios, without realizing that at no moment had they gained peoples trust by investing on quality titles, they did the opposite for 10 years straight. So now they need to backtrack on exclusivity and start sharing their games.

      Like I’ve been saying for the past 8 years. The moment they started promising exclusives at each e3 and never delivering on their promises pretty much demonstrated that quality exclusives just was never their main focus and when gamepass dropped that was the end of any quality titles for their platform. Cuz they rather have quantity over quality. It’s just unfortunate that Xbox fans don’t want to see the obvious clues that buying out more studios doesn’t guarantee quality, which is why Xbox sells are still down despite their merger. Which is why they porting their games to other consoles.

    • @lexlopez15

      @johnsilver6316 i disagree in that they don't care about quality. If they didn't, then they wouldn't have invested the 69 bil. to acquire those major studios and opted to just license their games...investors may be satisfied for the time being if they aren't losing their money but if a game is making more money on another platform then there would be no point in continuing to invest in the hardware of your preferred platform...(by the way, i am a Microsoft investor, and I do get to listen in on the financial calls)....
      i do agree that gamepass's current model is xbox's biggest enemy...xbox was under the impression that monthly subscribers would produce big dollar numbers, which it has BUT it's hurting their install base for their hardware...they should have never offered day 1 releases and kept it as a library of past titles and maybe offer the new titles 1 or 2 months later...word of mouth from current players would then push subscriptions while the game is still relatively new....
      xbox just needs to be more strict with their offerings. Including limiting pc's for several months as well, like sony does with their games who then find a resurgence on pc. (i bought 2 playstation games on pc which i never played before cause i don't buy playstations at all, so that says something right there)...
      setting limitations has worked very well for nintendo through several generations. I'm sure xbox is rethinking their strategy for the next generation, and they won't be so open about their exclusive games anymore.

      Fyi cost has nothing to do with pro/anti consumer , were the consumer we decide if the price is worth it for us if it's not they have to lower It there's nothing anti consumer about that it's literally all determined by the consumer but something like gamepass shifts developer focus from appealing to us to appealing to execs for that gamepass paycheck
      THATS ANTI CONSUMER
      when you pay for gamepass all your supporting is the Xbox execs and what they decide should be part of that library , can't have a say when you pay months in advance on empty promises

      Xbox has a small user base of users who don't buy games so badly that they had to make it a subscription just to get any money out of you guys , but that's they fault for making games that they users have no interest in buying it's been all mismanagement for years

      Wow.
      Most Xbox users left the Xbox because it was focused on GamePass at the detriment of actually being a console that sold games.
      Xbox s has a very low user base and more then half of its new customers have no idea the platform use to be better with the Xbox360.
      GamePass is not going to save Xbox and its not attracting new gamers, Xbox sales are pretty much done in EU and Asia.
      Playstation won't allow GP on their console, so Microsoft can only sell games instead on it
      If people really wanted GamePass they'd be flocking to Xbox consoles, but at only ~28 million user base compared to PS5 55 million and Switch 138 million.
      So no, GamePass is not as appealing as Microsoft tries to make it out to be, it can't even get many PC gamers interested in it.
      Only real place other place GamePass might be appealing is with mobile gamers.
      I'm willing to bet that will crash as mobile gamers either don't care for AAA games or already have consoles.
      Microsoft is basically snuffing the 24 year old Xbox platform for the sake of trying to go Netflix.

Seriously, it's a fantastic interview and it will make you understand why Marty will NEVER work for Xbox/Microsoft, or with Microsoft executives (which enlighteningly includes Destiny apparently), again.

Having every game being released on every system is a win - win for companies who make most of their money through software, subscriptions, micro-transactions and gamers who can play the games they want on the system they want.

As a PC gamer my view is this there is nothing so special about console hardware or the games their studios create that it can't run on the other hardware with the exception of Nintendo because of power availability. These console manufacturers are just publishers who make their own hardware and that's it.

    You are all the same people who say Nintendo and Sony are perfectly fine keeping their exclusives. As soon as it’s Xbox it some how not okay for them to have any exclusives. You people might be the most brainless people I’ve ever interacted with.

      Take this up with uncle Phil. As a ps gamer, I didnt ask for xbox games. They were handed to me on a golden platter by uncle phil himself. He said "PS, you are the Apple of console gaming. Don't worry about the feelings of cheap chinese phones aka xbox gamers" and with that, he handed me the platter and left.

    I think it totally makes sense and we're seeing the beginning of the end of exclusives as we know it. I think it's just a matter of time before all the companies will have their games on the competitor's platforms in some form. This is like buying an "Amazon Firestick" and being able to use it to watch videos from their competitors like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, etc. the draw to bring in users to the specific systems isn't going to strictly be the games anymore.

    People don't seem to get what Phil Spencer is actually saying. Xbox is going to be around but it's basically going to be a "Steam Deck" but for your living room at this point. The next Xbox will probably play "Steam", the "Epic Games" and everything basically an open-market console just like the "Steam Deck", and the "ROG ALLY". I wouldn't be surprised if PlayStation Plus appeared there for cloud gaming on the Next Xbox.
    An open market console will have far more games than any single platform and will provide more options for gamers without the need to buy a PC, 32,000+ Games from P.C-CONSOLE-CLOUD.

    If Xbox decides to release all of their games on PlayStation, then the question remains of what exactly is the point of owning an Xbox? If they want to survive in the console market then they need to have something that Sony doesn't have. I think a hybrid console/PC that's able to play all games including Sony's is the only way to go. Microsoft has the technology and means to make such a box, but then Sony will probably have an issue with that and try to file a lawsuit like they did with ABK. If Microsoft wins that lawsuit then Sony may stop releasing on PC. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

      @@EmperorOfMan essentially a PC but not entirely, because you wouldn't be able to update the hardware. You'll basically be stuck with what you get just like a console, and the components would be similar to a console using an SOC instead of a separate CPU and GPU. And yeah, it likely will be more expensive than the current gen consoles but no more than $800 I would imagine.

      Sony doesn't let you play their exclusives Day 1 with PS Ultimate. Xbox has Game Pass Ultimate Day 1 games. That's a pretty big difference that doesn't seem to get brought up enough. I guess that's because "influencers" don't have to buy games. They get free codes. I own both PS5 & Xbox and I play most games on Xbox because I don't have to lay out 70 bucks a pop. Currently all I'm playing on my PS5 is Fallout 76 (an Xbox game :)

      Fyi cost has nothing to do with pro/anti consumer , were the consumer we decide if the price is worth it for us if it's not they have to lower It there's nothing anti consumer about that it's literally all determined by the consumer but something like gamepass shifts developer focus from appealing to us to appealing to execs for that gamepass paycheck
      THATS ANTI CONSUMER
      when you pay for gamepass all your supporting is the Xbox execs and what they decide should be part of that library , can't have a say when you pay months in advance on empty promises

    Reaching here, but what if this lack of exclusivity by Xbox is a strategy to share their games, then next Xbox they have Steam access and PlayStation is less likely to block Xbox’s access to PlayStation games -because of how many games Xbox has shared.

    I don’t know if someone dropped a stupid pill in the water. But a lot of people just don’t seem to get it. This is not about Xbox vs PlayStation. This is about Sony and Microsoft who are business partners by the way. Sony’s strategy requires them to sell more consoles. Microsoft’s strategy has always been to share their products with their partners. The end game is all about money. Always has been. Both have their strategies to do it but it seems that some of you think you know better and want to call out one company for having a certain business model over the other. It’s the dumbest discussion to have in gaming when everyone should know by now what’s been happening.
