Can't really blame people for blaming Phil though, afterall it was Phil himself who said this not all that long ago:

Now a decision has been made that is directly in opposition to his above statement. Even if the decision came from over his head, Satya and crew, the fact is shit rolls downhill, and Phil is directly below them, so of course the blame will fall on him even if he isn't to blame (no idea if he truly opposed this decision or not personally). 

What decision? 

You guys are talking and freaking about rumors and made up things from "insiders" (newsflash: 99% of them are not... insiders...) :) One of those "leaker" saw something else that another "leaker" made up and they are just countering each others with new random shit to take credit in any case any of this is real even for one single game...

Until anything is official, those are not decisions or anything real... You guys need to stop reacting like every rumors is true, the people starting those BS must be laughing hard right now :D I can tell you that.

The only part that is probably true and did not require an "insider" to figure out is the MP part. We can already see that.
I can also see it for AA or A games (like HiF. Rush). It would be a good thing for the Xbox business in general if they could put some of those games everywhere (Like Minecraft). Still, for the rest, it is pure speculation at best (mostly made-up BS) from some people trying to score some "insider credibility" if anything becomes real at some point (even only 10% of it...).

Look at this "Sea of Thieves" announced for Play Station 5 during the state of play... Never happened... And people freaked out before the show about it like it was a sure thing. 

Just chill out :)

I don't know man, where this is this much smoke, there is bound to be fire. Sources reporting on this so far:

  • Jez (seemed more sure of this than any leak I have ever seen from him, he stated "It's happening, no amount of hopium or copium from fans will stop it" or something to that effect)
  • Tom Warren
  • Rand al Thor
  • The Indiana Jones details leaker
  • Xbox Era

Evidence backing the claim:

  • A datamine of an upcoming HiFi Rush update showing platform specific t-shirts, including a Nintendo and Playstation t-shirt for each platform

The full extent of their multiplatform plans we don't know, but it's a safe bet that some games at least will no longer be Xbox exclusive.

I think if nothing was happening, Xbox would have already sent out a PR statement shooting down the rumors when they first started with the Indiana Jones leaker before the Developer Direct, or last week when the HiFi and SoT multiplat rumors started appearing from new sources separate from the Indiana Jones leaker. The fanbase is absolutely melting down, and Xbox is quiet, too quiet. It's not like when they tried to double Gold pricing and were forced to reverse course like one day later due to the extreme backlash, it's been all quiet now at Xbox for over a week, without so much as an Aaron Greenburg tweet telling people not to worry. This tells me something is happening involving multiplat releases, and that no matter the backlash, they are intent on going through with this decision.
