I never said they're abandoning gamers. I'm saying their abandoning the core Xbox fan base, who can't wait to buy their Series X and play next gen games. They're main goal has simply shifted from competing with Sony in the console market and pushing next gen tech, towards reaching a broader audience with GP. Obviously, Kinect and GP are two totally different things. But they both share the same purpose, going after a broader audience. And if history has taught us anything, it's that it usually comes at the expense of giving the Xbox fan base what they want. I ain't no game developer but there's one thing everyone and their grandmothers knows: Games designed for a single, closed platform will always push the hardware better than games designed for a whole bunch of devices with different specs. |
You're complaining that they aren't abandoning core gamers this gen. Right in the same thread where you're complaining about what they did last gen, which was abandon core gamers. Textbook damned if you do and damned if you don't.
And hey, another goal post shift. I think we all know software tailored to certain devices works better than something scalable and designed for many devices. See: iOS vs Android. But that is completely irrelevant to this thread and the argument you've lost thus far in it. No one is saying a game built from the ground up for XSX can't be more advanced than a game built for cross gen. We're simply saying it's not a big deal and won't make a big difference to launch window titles, and we have history and logic backing us up. Remember, as much as you try to stretch the window out to two to three to five years, they've only said that at max, one year of XSX first party content would be cross gen.
And how in the world would GamePass get in the way of giving Xbox owners want they want lol. Literally all it gives gamers is games. What nonsense.
