Of course MS still wants to sell consoles, but they are playing a completely different game than Sony and Nintendo. Like Phil said; “If [selling more consoles than Sony and Nintendo] was our approach, we wouldn’t put our games on PC,”. “We wouldn’t put our games on Xbox One, we wouldn’t do xCloud and allow people to play games on their phones.” “‘How many consoles do I sell versus how many consoles does another company sell,’” he added. “Sony or Nintendo or other companies back in the day, that’s not our approach.” https://www.vg247.com/2020/08/16/phil-spencer-microsoft-xbox-series-x/ MS is done playing console wars, so why would they spend 7.5B to keep Bethesda exclusive to boost Xbox sales? Why didn't they do that with Minecraft or Ori? They didn't because they are looking to catch a much bigger fish, the 3 billion gamers who never owned a console before. |
I think I answered your questions on my earlier posts, no? See, this is why your posting is so frustrating. Nothing to do with emotions.
Just because their aim is not to sell more consoles than other companies, it doesn't mean their goal is not to expand their business and marketshare, by also selling consoles. And again, Minecraft as a brand is totally different than most other IPs. Ori isn't on Playstation btw.
