The timeline matches closely here in a similar fashion to the HiFi Rush port (within 4-5 quarters of original release).I doubt it is Starfield. But I think Microsoft is preparing the launch titles for PS4 Pro
Yeah, I think that the reason.

Where did you read that?It seems like Tom Henderson mentioned in Discord that there will be 4 more games that will come to Switch 2 and 3 to PS5 this year, including "big exclusive game in Q4". Curious which games?
He’s talking about the benefits of competition in the marketplace, leading other companies to want to offer similar goods & services in order to attract customers and be competitive with one another.

If SEGA magically had infinite money and never got out of consoles, Xbox would have never stood a chance to exist to begin with.
I saw in MrBoom's chat that somebody mentioned that. I don't have access to TH discord so I cannot check myself.
They have the potential and also I think it was one of those cases where Sony did not want to lose the third party partner, capable of producing third person games. (Microsoft learnt that hard way in Xbox One era where their partners left or were bought out).
Not really. PS4 Pro sold like 10% of the overall marketshare. Again, fundamentally Sony does not sell consoles to new people - those are literally the same people who bought PS4 - they just moved to PS5. And it is evident from the leaked MAU charts (there were also charts with MAU between Steam, EGS, PS, Xbox and only Steam grew immensely). I don't think PS5 Pro is an issue in the first place because people who want to buy Xbox will buy it or bought it already. Some people with PS5 will transition to PS5 Pro for example (which will be added to sales), but it won't change a thing as the person is still the same. People are playing Fortnite, COD, Minecraft and FIFA. And Switch is in 120m+ despite not being the graphical showcase
The thing is that they could as (aside FTC) nobody cared about COD.
Sega would still collapse. The issue with Sega (aside losing third parties - but well maybe with money they could have bought EA at that time) is that their japanese headquarters believed that they still lived in Sega Mega Drive era and did not want to listen to their western execs. Peter Moore said as much.
Do they really have a choice? They're getting absolutely smashed by Sony.
Well you could argue that the console space itself isn't worth spending 80bn on, and that the strategy all along has to grow beyond that market.
The fact that some of you believe that it is necessary to argue against it is in line with what I was saying about the seriousness of the discussions in Neogaf....
This reads like fan fiction.
So Xbox is just supposed to forfeit their place for some poor sap who can't even begin to compete?? That's not how this works. Stadia already tried. Amazon isn't doing too well these days either.
Ummmm...this is all rumors and conjecture?? Take it easy there, chief.
Zune, Nokia, TerraServer, Microsoft Band, Windows Phone, etc, say Hi!
Mixer has left the chat.
They must be porting these games on their competitor platforms out of the sheer goodness of their hearts then!
While they are highly successful in many things, they aren't successful in everything they do, and Xbox is definitely not their most successful current venture.
My dude went from normal to CAPS LOCK in just 15 days
land.
This is literally how Microsoft got into this console fight to begin with, but go off chief.
He's talking about both this and As Dusk Falls."Porting these games?" The original rumor states only one, how many else are being ported that you're aware of?
I actually think that's one possible interpretation, though I wouldn't phrase it like that. I don't think anyone thinks they ported / allowed ports of Ori because they thought they were going to strike it rich. I don't know anyone who thinks Hi-Fi Rush is going to do massive numbers anywhere, when even Bayonetta on Switch promoted and published by Nintendo struggles to break 1 million. I don't know anyone who thinks As Dusk Falls is going to fix the whole Xbox division from sales. About the only things left are goodwill, and just spreading IP awareness. It's a non-zero possibility they allowed Ori to be ported just to throw a bone to Moon Studios after how vocal they were about it. It's also likely they worry about talent retention for Tango Games and know how important they are, and this would allow them to show off their work in Japan and it does seem like a potential great fit for Switch. Nintendo let Platinum Games self-publish Wonderful 101 on Switch with a Kickstarter because they clearly are on friendly terms. As for As Dusk Falls, who knows honestly. We've seen 2nd party games on Xbox get raked over the coals like Rise of Tomb Raider or The Medium just for being associated with Xbox exclusivity, and it's possible Xbox is just throwing this small team a bone so they stay happy and keep a good relationship going. We just have to wait and see what's going on.
Tom Henderson replied that he did not say that. I guess false alarm. For nowIt seems like Tom Henderson mentioned in Discord that there will be 4 more games that will come to Switch 2 and 3 to PS5 this year, including "big exclusive game in Q4". Curious which games?
But if HF Rush is coming, then other stuff is coming too.
The fact that you couldn’t reply without extra bullshit is your problem.
The point is that when a product is no longer successful, the options are to either stop the product or change the product.
Definitely more than the ridiculous ~2.5 million annual average sales that you claim for XSeries in the next years an for a new XBoxNext in its entire life
Yeah, there is a reason they never post the actual profit of the Xbox division. Fanboys brag about all the revenue, but have no idea how much of that revenue is profit.
Extremely unlikely considering the information we found in leaked internal Microsoft's documents and Phil Spencer openly confirming that the Xbox business is not going strong.
