And some people in this thread are still in denial about them pivoting and going third party….



I guess some people really wanna go down with the ship, nuts if you ask me.

I had no idea there were 2 Nintendos. Crazy.

Nintendo is so nice, he said it twice. Once for himself and once for dorkimoe

So he mentioned Sony and Nintendo this time. Interesting.

Yep, and people will still cover their ears and pretend they didn’t just hear that.

Wow. Straight from the horses mouth. Pretty much a guarantee now. I wonder when MS is going to rip off the band-aid. Is it gonna be quick and painful? Or slow and gentle?

 

[JTCx]

That was proven wrong in their last financial where they stated that their were offsets due to losses on hardware.

Watching that clip I don't see a part where Nintendo is mentioned twice.
The quote is '...Sony and Nintendo and PCs and EKSBAAKS.'
Not sure if the Tweet is trying to troll.

Obviously trolling but I don’t give a shit what the tweeter is saying, I’m only listening to the words from Satya’s mouth and it’s not sounding good for anyone that’s thinking MS aren’t pivoting.

The reason why Apple would consider this is no upfront cost and potential exclusive titles. They have no software companies or experience in the area. It would be a rebirth, with the apple logo on it, if it had some sort of monster dual M3 chip in it, there might be something there.
They definately need somebody's help or buy every other publisher left. I know it's unlikley though, they aren't exaclty best friends. I think a MS / Nintendo alliance would be more likely.

What do you mean when you say Apple has no experience in the software area? Who do you think develops MacOS, iOS, TvOS, the Metal API, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, Garage Band...they have a huge library of software applications. They created the software and development environment that people use to create apps and games for the Apple ecosystem.

There's no console play for Apple that makes sense. They wouldn't do any better against Sony or Nintendo than Microsoft has. But it's not because they don't know anything about software.

Sounds like he almost forgot to mention Xbox.

Sounds like he almost forgot to mention Xbox.

He was struggling to say it. The fact he couldn’t even mention his own device first says it all.

 

[Rob_27]

Just make games people want. Personally I prefer single player and more adult themed. Throw a bit of sci fi or apocalypse type shit in and I'm there. No kid multiplayer bollocks.

Wouldn't hardware include VR headsets? Or did they say consoles?

 

[jroc74]

Sony released so much different hardware recently it could be everything except consoles. They were also doing price promotions recently so....

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[twilo99]

I'm surprised that he said gaming/xbox is "core" now but if you think about it when they add the revenue from ABK the xbox division might actually overtake Windows in terms of revenue..



Likely not in terms of profit, but it's a significant jump

Yeah I'm trying to highlight that instead of dunking on a misquote.

Heard him say gaming was a core business not xbox.

Did you just make that up as part of your process?

Translation: Play on whatever device you want, so long as you have a gamepass sub. Also, we will still make consoles because that’s basically our only successful device besides Surface.

Anyone of you remember that PlayStation fan here on GAF, who was permed last year, the one with the cowboy hat profile pic, who gets triggered when Sony announces PC ports? Lol

Even xbox owners don't want Gamepass anymore, you think Sony and Nintendo fans do?

Is it? They are losing money with both Series X and S.

Sure whatever you want to call it, it’s obviously gaining importance internally, and I think it’s mainly due to ABK.

Man, some people in this thread are headed straight towards some great emotional hurt.

Sometimes the 2.9T company CEO just.. knows what he's talking about, no?

He did it twice now after he was corrected by Banjo64 . Being disingenuous as usual.

But what ship is going down? The obsession with the actual boxes as a separate thing?

It’s almost like everyone just wants them to not make plastic boxes but I don’t see a reason for them to stop

There's no console play for Apple that makes sense. They wouldn't do any better against Sony or Nintendo than Microsoft has. But it's not because they don't know anything about software.

They have no internal software teams that make games. Zero experience making games. All games for Apple Arcade were farmed out. It's not that complicated.
Are suggesting that making an OS somehow makes you ready for game development?

It took MS like 20 years and 300 billion dollars and they still don't have it down, but ok, Apple knows software so they don't need anyone, lol.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

This sounds like a third party and it basically renders owning their console pointless. What do they think this will do to XBOX hardware sales if this becomes normal? I feel it’s common sense. I understand they are hoping this will maximize software sales, but if they really do plan on staying in the console/device business this is probably going to be even more detrimental to their hardware sales.

IGN did a write-up, and provided their take.
Nothing official in it / from Microsoft.

How Xbox Is Changing the Nature of Exclusivity - IGN

Conversations with a number of industry analysts have convinced me that 2024 is the year we finally start seeing Xbox’s grand ecosystem strategy - and all it entails for exclusivity, multiplatform play, and cloud gaming - finally start to take shape.

[BeforeU]

There will always be more money in software and services than just selling hardware. People are crazy if they think MS will just give away their game on other platform for nothing. They will want to push gamepass first.

If those TV shows about politics and corporations are telling the truth, i could see this piece being a product of MS´s PR in a direct or indirect way.

there are to giving their games away for nothing . they are getting a 70% cut of each unit sold in other platforms.

Gamepass is on Steam? News to me.

Most of the recent news is a part of that PR. Even these leaks.

Imagine the shit show if there were no leaks an discussion at all, and Xbox just one day announced Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves for PlayStation.

[StueyDuck]

Okay I think we are running in circles just like the apple product lines so we should stop right here.

Nah were changing the future just like those Nokia phones that never came out and the public never bought and didn't change anything

 

[Killjoy-NL]

They’re not dropping hardware, they’re going to double-down on GamePass with an extremely cheap cloud only console to try get more people through the door.

Perhaps the games going everywhere is to supplement if that fails.

Seems plausible.

That's also why I mentioned there being hurdles irt MS releasing games on PlayStation.

They're down, but not out yet.

People make the mistake to underestimate Apple.. they are way more efficient than Microsoft, and equally ruthless. You really DO NOT want Apple as a direct competitor. They will destroy you.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Microsoft and Satya doing an amazing job at creating a narrative before they sit down and get grilled by the FTC and questioned by "gamers"

It's like everyone's forgetting that the ABK purchase is being challenged.

Sometimes here I feel like a 38 year old man creeping on 8 years olds on the playground arguing the superiority of the SNES vs. Genesis.
