Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Responds To PS5 Rumors For Starfield, Gears Of War

Well I mean, I guess this will boost my series x from an unused paperweight in my office to an obscure collectible curiosity in ten years like my Dreamcast.

That’s said, MS is gonna have to release a 10/10 game to get me to give them another cent of my gaming money

In order to do that Sony would have to give in and offer crossplay.

As long as they keep saying no to crossplay, all MS has to do is wait them out till they bleed, The big studio purchases only started, Sony have some exclusive games under the hood since they had to show their hand during the lawsuit, so they will only feel the sting by 2025 when MS has all big releases under their belt. And as we all know all Sony big releases are making their way to PC.

Good business sense to release old IPs such as Gears of War on PS5. Starfield perhaps down the track when it runs out of steam.

If these rumors are true GameStop will cease buying back Xboxes from all the angry fans.

It may be a good $$ plan for MS, but it will kill Xbox.

Even if they announce that they are staying exclusive, this was still so much fun. I'd still like Hellblade 2 though 😌

2 things:

1. Sony wouldn't do this. And we all know because ps4 vs Xbox one. How many of the many ps4 exclusives came to xbox one?

2. Could this actually be the end of xbox? Will xbox actually stop selling systems like sega did? Because apparently the system is causing Microsoft to lose money but the game developing companies they own will still sell many copies for Playstation and pc.

I'm sure they wont do it and if they do, maybe it's one of those that they will release on the PS years later. It be pretty daft if they put them all on the PS a year later or on release date. They need something on XB otherwise no one will want to buy it. XB in my honest opinion has too few to no games that's worth buying it and becomes much more so of a no go if they but major triple A games on all platforms on release day.

Weird that a lot of the people who were upset about the consolidation of game publishers seem to think the consolidation of the console market is a good thing.

Exclusivity sucks. Power to the players!

It's probably minor in the grand scheme of things but I was hopeful that CoD would be withheld from PlayStation in the future, because it could pressure Sony into filling the void by reviving their own shooter franchises like Killzone and Resistance and SOCOM.

That's highly unlikely now

Uh, it's rumour for every gd thing in their catalogue going multiplatform, these days.

Should've written this everywhere I read it, but the idea - and the initial fuckin leak - was to have ONE to test the waters with.

And Xbox users should get something in exchange from competing platforms for the "magnanimity" of Microsoft. (No point releasing a prime exclusive into the wild if you don't get one back from*them.* Even profit wouldn't cover how much power you'd lose).

Lastly, they spent $69 billion USD on ABK. What, did everyone think they'd try and make that back, long-haul, by playing it safe?

everyone thought Nintendo would be the first of the big three to go third-party.

looks like xbox will

As a Xbox only gamer, I fear the death of the console. What would compele anyone for buying the next console? Unless the next console is literally a game pass machine. Sales of the console will diminish and there won't be a demand for it.

Honestly, Microsoft is probably going to develop a budget friendly gaming PC and market that as the answer for those who don't want to spend thousands on a gaming PC.

YES!!!!

The stupid console exclusive stuff is going away and we will finally have every game everywhere

I've been dreaming of a future for gaming where you just buy a box and play every game on it and it's almost here

Come on Nintendo stop with the underpowered hardware and start releasing on PC and everywhere else!

where is the news Sony is bringing exclusives to Xbox!?!? how about Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon and Forbidden West, Bloodborn, God of War, Second son, the last of us, ratchet and clank, shadows of Colossus and many more. Your not going to hear any of this cause Sony doesnt share and somehow Microsoft is always the bad guys

It does beg the question why even bother having different platforms..

To be honest, if this comes to fruition, ill go back to PC.
