| Spade said: I know certain ratz don't like aqui talk, but idgaf. Sit and spin, love talkin about potential buyers for Xbox. Like WCB said above, nothing else has come out this year. Our biggest highlight was January, which is in jeopardy as of now. No real big games, and some xbots Ice here refuse to play games they wanted. |
That's a bit funny thinking about it.
If it does fail, then I think Microsoft should go for the following next.
- Sega for Japanese content as that would fill another gap they have in their exclusive line-up and also their strong PC line-up, Sega West unlike Square West is actually successful and ran well, they are no Blizzard, but they have some strong PC IPs which should help Xbox since they're clearly struggling on PC without Steam.
*I'm thinking though that even if they improve Windows Store a lot, they still need to get Game Pass on Steam somehow.
- Support studios like Certain Affinity and SkyBox Labs who can also do original IP and hope they're successful but are essential for Halo as well, if they lose CoD then they absolutely have to triple down on Halo and give it much larger investment, not CoD level investment but if they want to compete with CoD then they have to put the investment in.
- Already well established and strong studios, such as Asobo and IO Interactive, both of whom are working on Xbox IP right now and are very capable developers, producing high quality products.
- Some other Mobile Studio, I don't know who, but they clearly have large mobile ambitions, and they hinge on having a very strong mobile developer, losing ABK is a blow to that, and I think they'll still try to get one elsewhere, but I don't know any mobile studios Tbh.
Those should be first and if it's possible they should buy Crystal Dynamics and Eidos from Embracer Group with the IPs.
