Probably not, but I wouldn't say it's impossible, only improbable. But, BOY. The melt downs would be a site to behold.

Never say never with regards what the future holds long term. But as things stand, for the foreseeable future of the next several years, its a definite no. I just have no idea what Xbox will be or become in say ten years time though.

To be fair who knows what any of them will be in 10+ years time. They are all going to end up as online services at some point.
I still believe there will be 2 more hardware generations after this one, but i wouldnt be totally surprised if there was only one more gen. One more full gen after this one is like 12+ years in the future, who knows how widespread high speed internet will be by then, Almost everything we consime will end up as a service eventually.

I’m pretty sure we know it has, but iirc mainly in relation to putting GamePass on PlayStation. But since that’s not happening I don’t think there’s much hope left.
We also know that they’ve already discussed having a Ps5 version of Starfield. And we know the outcome, they outright canceled it despite being in active development at the time.

Microsoft's own analysis in the evidence they gave to stop the US FTC merger injunction recently stated that they predicted 10M sales on PlayStation, so I would say if that analysis is still good, then it depends on the outcome of the ATVI merger.
If the CMA block the merger still, then Microsoft are losing $3.5b for nothing, so I would expect them to go after that low hanging fruit worth 1/4 - 1/2 of a billion dollars to them, and because it would then be evidence to help them with their next attempted game publisher acquisition.
If the deal closes, then I doubt they'd see the benefit of the money.

Where's the PS5 port of Halo Infinite then? Forza Horizon? Gears? Hi-Fi Rush? Obviously MS is leaving money on the table not releasing those on PS5.

In my honest opinion, if you have PC with RTX3060Ti < its worth playing there, even tho, I feel like 30FPS makes sense on Xbox, because PC version is demanding as fuck for almost no reason. To me 30FPS on Xbox does not feel smooth at all. And since you shoot a lot in the game, I feel like its better just to prepay Geforce Now and play there, if you don't have proper rig.

Maybe, but unlikely. If it does happen, it won’t be within the next 2-3 years.

After a year, probably, if Microsoft wants the game to be profitable. The streaming bubble will burst in their face sooner or later.

Yeah, the bros have had a rough time accepting starfield is a dud…. They are coping well enough with the exclusive narrative and that all that was promised is there. They will come around I hope.

Oh you mean the bros are the happiest bunch in the world and starfield is all that was promised and then some. Ok, I stand corrected. I guess it will be downloaded 20 million times.My post is the opposite of what you’re wanting it to be.

Couldn't care less to be honest, but if sales pc/xbox are like 80/20 then they definitely will look to recoup some money with a ps5/Pro/6 edition, if sales are that skewed, and gamepass is unaffected (positively I know they stopped the deals right now) then it's going to happen.
In my opinion this was MSs last hail Mary to drive xbox sales, if it fails to do so then there's little else they can do besides buy Square Enix and make final fantasy exclusive, but even then I don't think they'd take the risk of pulling it from PlayStation as there's no market on xbox.

Not surprised that I am getting a bunch of LOL reactions to this. It's OK, I get it. I think what I think and I stand by it.
I'll say it again. I simply do not think MS will get the return on investment for Gamepass that they are hoping and need to sustain it. Thus they will be forced to consider releasing on the best selling current gen console with a 40M user baser. WHo knows what that uiser base will be buy then.
