People forget that xbox basically gave up this gen, 2 years into it.
They cut funding, cancelled games, cut games & cut back costs of games.

Them going out to get new studios isnt for this gen.
Its for the next one, and something that ll first start showing its pay off, in year 2023-2024 and onwards.


"As much as it feels like this is something Phil has been saying for a few years, it certainly feels different now that we can actually see the huge expansion of studios "

Basically saying wait for mid - next gen...

You have to have alot of trust in xbox, at this point to just blindly accept what their saying.
The studio's are there, time see if they will do all the good things gamers expect of them.

Also remember this guy is the same guy that said Voodoo Vince was his favorite game ever.
Then what happend? He cut funding for it, so they couldnt even do a proper remaster/remake.
Instead it relaunched with original assets.

Do you guys think, even after saying that, he'll green light a Voodoo Vince 2?
His talk is cheap.

Your definition of "giving up" on a gen is bizarre. They completely revamped the Xbox One, launched three different new versions of the Xbox One including the most powerful console ever, have expanded XBLG, offered BC with original Xbox titles and 360, introduced GamePass, Play Anywhere, released the elite and adaptive controllers, and released many games. They didn't give up, if anything they've been working extremely hard to wipe away the stain Mattrick and the old leadership left.

Every console company has cut funds to games and canceled games. We don't have the slightest idea as to what those numbers are, so it's pointless to speculate. And idk what supposedly cutting funds to a remake of an old game has to do with the future, could have been any number of reasons funds were cut to it, if they were.

He green lit Battletoads, I don't see why he wouldn't a VV2, if the game warrants it.

And no one is blindly accepting anything, they've earned the trust with their work on Xbone and the studios acquired. We'll begin to see results before 2023/24 lol. inXile did a recent interview talking about how MS backing is already paying off for Wasteland 3 and that game isn't even far off.
