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.

It is actually fascinating how different people's perspectives can be. At the beginning of this gen MS was my least favorite out of the three companies; but they won me over with the Gamespass, BC and Play Anywhere.

Today I see them as the most consumer friendly out of the bunch. I mean, while PS4 and Switch owners are seeminly happy (and proudly) paying full price for remasters (and straight up ports) of last gen games, X1 owners are able to play what are basically remasters of last gen games for free. And now you see PS4 and Switch fans claiming "MS has brought nothing to the table this gen" while at the same time hoping for Sony/Nintendo to implement BC with enhancements on the PS5/Next Switch, something that we all know Nintendo will never do since their fans are so proud to claim "Nintendo games never drop in price!"

And it is even more interesting to see Nintendo fans claming, "MS has brought nothing to the table this gen," while at the same time wishing for MS not only to bring Gamepass to Switch but also some games like Ori and Halo because "Switch owners don't have a whole lot of great FPS games to choose from," like Curl-6 recently admitted.
