The only reason I'd consider it somewhat valid is because Tom Warren shared it as though it was was real.

Compare the Starfield hype after the June 2023 showcase to the Starfield coming to PS5 hype today.

According to the sales, nobody did. Those that played it, already had an xbox or a PC....
The fact that Starfield didn't move the needle for Xbox even a little was a VERY ominous sign

All I really, truly want is MS to invest in Spyro and Crash. Everything else is an afterthought.

Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about American culture (I'm an expert), but exclusives and engagement are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Japan where you can become successful by being a good citizen. If you screw someone over in America, you bring hate to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is PR and spin.
What this means is the American public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase more game pass subs, nor will they purchase any of MS games (they weren't anyway). This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but MS has alienated an entire market with this move.
Microsoft, publicly apologize and cancel starfield for ps5 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I kinda agree. Tom is coping a little bit XboxEra discord and doesn't seem to be fully onboard with Jez saying "all games". However, Tom himself has teased multiple times, that he has heard way more games coming to PS5 than just Hi-fi and SoT. Nick just confirmed that he knew about Starfield port for a while, but didn't want to leak it prevent further melts.
However, if you remember the original discord leak (OEM one), the poster insinuated ports are in the work for existing BGS games, meaning Starfield.
There is a thread already on it.
Rumor - Xbox going OEM route for next-gen? 3rd party consoles in the making?
So, this has been circulating in a discord I'm a part of which necessarily hasn't been picked up by Xbox community. The person was on the money on Indiana Jones, and is further corroborating about Xbox multi-platform stuff but the most intriguing aspect was on the hardware bit where the poster...

It's crazy to me that they had the entire core gamer market in the palms of their hands with the 360 and they completely fucked it up. It was literally theirs for the taking and they just had to keep doing what they were doing but they got greedy.

I’m sorry I cannot and will not accept sonic on a Nintendo console
There will be a Ps2 virtua fighter game over my dead body!
The next Jet set Radio and panzer dragoon is exclusive to this new “Xbox” yeah pass me some of you’ve been smoking buddy!
Sorry I was just having major flashbacks to a really hard time in my life.

Nah, once the PS3's price dropped, released banger exclusives, and Sony got their act together, it was clear that the 360 was no longer running away with all of those people on its own. The Xbox One simply sealed the deal and reversed all momentum.

The more I think of it, the more Jez is probably right on this.
How does it make sense to allow CoD to be 100% multiplatform, and other developers are forced to remain exclusive? And yet these same studios would have to layoff employees if their games don't reach target numbers/performance. That's totally unfair to their other studios.
So in a way, did Microsoft acquiring Activision essentially make them fully commit to third party in some strange twist of fate?

I hope everyone realizes this is about how Gamepass is completely unsustainable more than it is about Xbox's failure as a platform.
Like Xbox is a failure, no doubt. But it failed BECAUSE of Gamepass and what it takes to feed it, not simply because of a boring slate of exclusives.
Microsoft doesn't need Playstation as much as it needs sales. And it can't sell this game on Xbox.
