Xbox multiplatform details coming [Update: Business update is coming Feb 15th on the Official Xbox Podcast]

I was following the Xbox Twitter meltdown and sharing here. You may not have heard of these people, but Phil Spencer and Co. have spent plenty of time with them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

are you seriously going to try and backpedal this hard?..

you were in the dead-center of the circle jerk; supporting and spreading all the FUD.. the evidence is literally in this very thread..

dude, carry the L..

as if we didn't read a week's worth of his posts in this thread.. 🙄

@Zero_epyon: Why would I need to loosen up for as I'm the one who said I would post my thoughts after all was said and done, which I did.

I you need to loosen up, because you're the one who has the most posts in here and even creating the who should replace Xbox in the console space thread, has a pic of Xbox no console required and are still trying in this thread.

Loosen up take the L and move on.

Where is the fun in that? Have an opinion. Take a guess. It’s all in good fun.

@ghostofgolden: Who Phil spends his time with is none of my concern. I'm merely posting that you have been spreading the FUD pretty hard in here.

But you want to deny it. Look I get that you hate (certain) lems here, buy you shouldn't let that hate to lead you down the garden path to hate on everything Xbox to the point that now you're trying to distance yourself from it.

Like I said to Zero, take the L and move on.

Nah, you were PART of it. No harm done, you and many others were wrong….just take the L and move on.

They're putting four Xbox exclusives on Playstation and Nintendo and stated multiple times in their podcast that they want to continue bringing more. Sounds like a third party to me. I have said Xbox is leaving the hardware business. I don't think I said that they'll announce leaving the console space today in this thread. But according to Last Lap I've been on a posting spree like never before so if you can quote me on that I'll most certainly own up to it.

They can't and that makes it even more fun.😂

Huh?

Xbox has been putting games on other consoles for years.. specifically smaller AA titles and live service games..

in that regard, nothing fundamental has changed..

you, on the hand, were implying that Xbox was going full 3rd party and were exiting the hardware business.. this is well documented..

carry that L..

Exclusives? What four games you are referring to are exclusive to Xbox?🤔 Also you were wrong about Xbox leaving hardware business. Thus the reason for your thread about just that.😂

@last_lap: I don’t hate anyone here lol. Especially not the Lems I engage with. Why would I talk to people I hate? Lol

I wonder about some of you…

This thread sure turned into a thing of beauty. 😂

@loudheadphones: Even your own tweet image says the conversion was not 100% (all 11.7m became game pass subscribers).

Your extrapolation is the worst form of conjecture.

None of the games mentioned were exclusive to Xbox in the first place as they're also on PC.

Ok. Console exclusive. As in they're not on any other console.

Console exclusives...

You need to loosen up as you've been on the Xbox is leaving the console space before this gen is over tirade for a long time, and this thread has just exacerbated it to 100.

You've posted the most in this very thread. Other than maybe Golden you've spread the most FUD about Xbox here.

Most of the hardcore cow likes wenzen, headphones, benji, average etc have abandoned this thread, says a LOT about you & golden that you guys are still here trying to downplay your comments.

But, but, but I was having some fun lol.

I've posted the most? How many posts? What comments am I downplaying? You still haven't told me.

The bold are your words not mine. Console exclusive factually means multi-platform.

My bad, hate is the wrong word. Your dislike of Ant, pedro and a few other lems here that you actively cheer out loud whenever there is some perceived bad news for Xbox (hence your posts in this very thread) like its going to make these people upset.

I know you don't see it, but others here just reading the posts do. You need to take the emotion out of it, and before you say there is no emotion well someone doesn't bet their account just for the fun of it.

And I'm clarifying. Nintendo and Sony aren't putting their exclusives or console exclusives on other consoles.

You think i'm going to count your posts in here and quote each one. Sorry but I simply don't care enough to waste my time going through a 1000+ posts to find yours. I'm not the only one to call you out on your posts, but you can act all innocent all you want.

Hmm. Making claims and then refusing to back them up. I'll remember that one lol

After a couple of years it makes sense to port a game over to generate generate sales.

Sony should do the same with their games

It would be good for gamers but gamers don't like practices that are in their benefit, look at the 360 era.

Not gonna lie. I was secretly expecting Xbox Judgment Day for a sec. Today has been really slow & boring for sure.

You’ve got me all wrong. There is no dislike for the folks I engage with. If I deem someone’s opinion or persona on this board a waste of time, I don’t engage. Thats why it’s so easy for me to dismiss the Cows on this board. They aren’t saying anything entertaining or worth while. I will post things that I KNOW Antwan or Pedro will engage with for the sake of activity and entertainment on this board. I bash PlayStation by saying they were better off sticking that $7.7 billion in the bank than they were spending it on gaming in 2023 for a measly 5% return. And crickets. I question Game Pass and BOOM. So of course I go where the reaction is…

They can't even answer their questions correctly in a prerecorded video that took a week to make.

@Zero_epyon: If you can't remember all the FUD you've posted in this thread I'd be surprised if you could remember your own name when you wake up of a morning, for safety you should write this on the back of your hand so you'll remember it tomorrow.

As I said I not trawling through a thousand posts for ownage, it's all written there for everyone to see.

Like I said I'm not the only to call you out on it, but I guess they're all wrong too lol

You are really trying your best.😂

You follow all my posts though. So you can't point to at least one?

Anyway, it's Helldivers time.

To summarize, the rumor was:

"(FYI) According to Zenimax employee, Sarah Bond (Xbox Director), will speak in Spring to explain the change in Xbox's strategy regarding Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and other games going multi-platform.

“Wait for springtime, Sarah Bond will say something, you guys will be fine.”…"

Today they confirmed the rumors were true and that 4 titles are going to PS5 and Switch. They also made sure people knew that putting more titles on other consoles was on the table.

There were a lot of leaks and it seemed to be coming from insiders, and people said they corroborated it, but still I didn't think it would happen. I didn't see how that was going to work out for the brand or the platform. It didn't make sense to do something like that right in the middle of the console generation.

It was funny seeing half the people start coping like thinking maybe there was going to be a trade and they would get something out of it, and the other half thinking they somehow get it all so easily, and both of them end up wrong. The icing is all the influencers looking the dumbest they ever look.

Of course now I'm not counting on seeing people thinking it's bad to have those exclusives, I still expect to see them used as ammunition. And I don't see other people admitting some of those games coming over was getting them excited.

A lot of people got carpal tunnel out of this!

All that hyperbolic doom and gloom from the folks obsessed over their favorite inanimate object for that? What a disappointing slow news day.

They're adding D4 on GP in hopes to find some whales dumb enough to buy their new $65 horse skin😆

@Zero_epyon: If I followed all your post I would have them at the ready, what a silly comment.

Have a nice day 😎

Yup, fanboys talked up a leak.. caused a fire storm. Claiming xbox was dying.

A couple older games are going multiplat.. oh my God

Microsoft who already launches all thier games day 1 on pc... might port over older games to other plastic boxes..

This is the end..

oogabooga

@ghostofgolden: Making account bets suggest otherwise. If it was a bit of fun as you say then betting your account wouldn't even be a consideration.

Not only that you hold receipts from like 5yrs ago, only guys like the old tormentos and the like do that, and their very emotional posters.

But anyway this thread fizzled real quick and I've posted in it more times than I wanted to and I'm out, see you on the next one 😎

I’m very much looking forward to playing Diablo 4 when it hits Game Pass March 28th. 😎

the two people spreading the most FUD in this thread are supposedly not cows and were just "joking"..

yet those same two people stayed the longest in this thread trying to downplay those "jokes" while the other cows abandoned ship..

these same two people will be front-and-center to post the most FUD concerning the next Xbox related rumor..

and when exposed again, these same two people will say they don't care and are just "joking"..

Now that MS has the text to video open ai Sora, the only way for them to save the Xbox brand is to create a text to video game open ai Joshua😂They better get one running by 2027 or its over

There is no bad choice, if you want to hook up original consoles to CRT TVs, that is excellent too.

I'm just speaking on my own behalf here but the reason why I go for these newer system is this:

• SNES mini and PS mini both come with HDMI ports, making them super easy to hook up to a modern TV.
• Prices for cartridges can be quite exuberant.
• Playing some games like Killzone they feel right at home on my handheld. The games are lower res and gameplay wise they fit for short bursts.

I love retro gaming, I love modern gaming, and I love everything in between. But personally, I just don't see myself hooking up CRT tvs anymore, that is why I invested in component cables too.

that's quite evil and villainous of you 🤭

The damage control going on in this thread is top SW. RIP Zero and Golden, you tried your best and failed miserably. Hilarious!

Now more seriously. MS should keep some selected titles away from Sony but IMO, most of their releases should come to Sony and Nintendo 12 months after the PC/Xbox release. I've always defended this and I still think they're dumb for not doing so. I believe that would help Gamepass, not hurt it.

Enjoy Pentiment and Hi-Fi, two great titles.

...but omg I just can't 🤣 The deranged anti Xbox crew around here are truly special!
