This is why Microsoft is looking amazing right now. They have stepped away from pushing Xbox, and have started pushing Games. This new idea of developing more games, and allowing people to play on any platform they choose is what will push Microsoft over Sony and Nintendo. People don't like being locked down to a single device, or a single level of experience. No one wants to be left out of the party, and no one that can afford it wants to be limited to a one size fits all box.

Microsoft is on point with bringing XBL services to other platforms. With Cloud Saves, Achievements, and Friends Lists across every device you own, Microsoft will have the best value of anyone in the industry bar non.

I really hope Nintendo is open to this, or has plans to expand their hardware portfolio. Either fight, or join. Same goes for Sony. I like competition, but to have competition companies have to fight. I don't want to see Sony and Nintendo roll over and die like they did with Portables.

Anyhow, I look forward to GDC. This will be an interesting topic. I am sure a lot more is to come as well.

I call this BS bro.

They are not pushing games, they are a weak mid - tier games publisher, behind Aksys or 505 Games. Halo was developed by 2nd party Bungie, Gears of War was a moneyhat, and Playground were also 2nd party for years. Dont believe in Spencer, he is storytelling.

I dont think any of PS4 owners feels locked down to anything, I think opposite, they are happy because the PS4 is the place with the best flow of AAA 3rd and 1st party games. The only ones who is out of the party is MS gaming wise now, with a small userbase and PS4/Switch/PC games missing in action.

What the best valuse are u talking about? The best thing in Xbox portfolio is One X and Gamepass, thats all.

It takes time to rebuild, and Spencer has been doing a great job in the time he has had. XBO X was a great boost to Xbox's image. Game Pass for Xbox One after the announcement of 1st party games Day One has turned a lot of heads. Bring Game Pass to PC was the next step. Forza Horizon 4 has set the example for what Microsoft Studio's will deliver going forward. You will have Gears, Forza, and Halo on everything from 1080p on xCloud to 8K on Windows. While the new studios begin to go head to head with Sony and Nintendo delivering even more industry leading 1st party exclsuives.

People are taking notice. When I talk to people in the real world, the tide has definitely started to shift. People that made the move from 360 to PS4, are asking about next, gen and talking about going back to Microsoft. 

I guess time will tell, but right now, between the New Studios, Backward Compatibility, Game Pass, Play Anywhere, and XBL for All, Microsoft looks in very good shape to take back a huge chunk of the market in the transition to next gen.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Too taxing on the CPU. 



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

This is probably what Nintendo meant when they teased a new online component for core gamers? I see what MS gets out of this, but how does this benefit Nintendo?



After everything I've seen Nadella do, this isn't surprising. His strategy is to essentially be a part of the competition so that they can't be dethroned, because they will be the industry and not just part of it.

Sure... it may take some time. But just how long? It's been five years since this guy took over. All I've seen is promises of next year being huge for Xbox! Year after year after year. And what's been delivered since then? Sea of Thieves? Backward compatibility, Game Pass, Play Anywhere, etc. is all well and good, but it just screams of desperation and half-hearted attempts at winning over consumers. Is it so hard to make games? Those features bring nothing new. The purchasing of new studios may possibly be a step in the right direction, but Microsoft hasn't had the best history with this sort of thing. Time will tell.

Seems like Microsoft might slowly be phasing out serious, competitive gaming hardware. With the poor and increasingly low sales of the Xbox One family of consoles, it would make a lot of sense and be a good way of saving face to just release some kind of streaming box with a few exclusives to sweeten the pot, with no real intention of competing with PlayStation or Nintendo. Offer some of the non-gaming amenities Microsoft seems to like to push along with it and you have an Xbox that's carved out its own corner and doesn't have to worry about competing with the big boys.

Did the 3DS have a better CPU than the Switch does?

Agree 100%.  I have little confidence in Spencer, especially when it comes to managing studios and game development, or at least finding competent people to do so.  They aren't pumping out a ton of exclusives right now, yet Sea of Thieves and (seemingly) Crackdown 3, were allowed to be developed with such low standards.  Phantom Dust was supposed to be a full remake, but instead was knocked down to a simple remaster.  Scalebound was cancelled due to MS's meddling with develop, wanting more added to the game than originally agreed upon, without further funding.  We all know about the mismanagement of Rare.  I'm just failing to see any signs of great oversight.  And adding a bunch of new studios to that environment, but still having the same people in charge doesn't bode well in my opinion.

Either fight, or join. Same goes for Sony. I like competition, but to have competition companies have to fight. I don't want to see Sony and Nintendo roll over and die like they did with Portables.

The above are all your quotes.


The first two point out the reasons why Nintendo should never allow this to happen on the Switch.

The third one says you really hope Nintendo is on board


Then you completely contradict yourself by saying you want competition and want to see Nintendo and Sony fight.

Ahhh..i see. They are showing their true colors and trying to circumvent the competition if they cannot squarely beat them. They are using the windows method of trying to monopolize the os/online method. It’s pure revenue and notoriety for them because of their competitors incompetence.

 

this is exactly why Sony has had Microsoft at an arms length for years. They knew this day would come.
