Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Microsoft Has No Further Plans To Bring First-Party Games to Other Platforms

VAMatt on 22 August 2019

I'm announcing now that I have no plans to buy any video games.

I'm sure I'll buy some at some point. But, I have not made any plans in that regard yet.

Big releases = big in name, not in size. Ori isn’t a AAA title and isn’t big in size but they aren’t porting Will of the Wisps to Switch or PS4. Again, applying context and common sense to interviews and posts on this forum helps a lot, but I know it does hurt the conspiracy potential for console warz. So I get it I guess.

Still dying at the fact that you’re claiming to have only predicted Microsoft will stop making consoles one time 😆😆😆

Not really big in name, either, but I digress. 

And here's an important lesson going forward, reiterating the same prediction in different threads does not make it a new prediction in each thread.

And to miss predictions is something much more reasonable than completely missing analysis on things that already happened.

Awesome lesson friend but it doesn’t apply here when you made predictions regarding four different consoles 👍 Actually you just made a Scarlett one in this thread, so make that five consoles. Hell you probably predicted it about Kinect, too 🤣

Yes, Kinect is still supported right?

Idk sweetie, is it? 

Of course, MS still makes consoles, so any Kinect prediction would have been wrong anyway. That’s his shtick, any new thing MS releases, if it fails, it’s the end of Xbox hardware. Scarlett is just the latest in a long line.

If there was one word for Xbox game studios that word would be, "directionless" Still though, it's obviously nonsense, if anything comes from Mojang it will 100% be on platforms other than the effectively dead Xbox1 and PC, it would be leaving money on the table for no reason to not bring a "minecraft 2" to other platforms simply because it's not so big an IP that people would buy a system to play it however limiting it to only their platform would maul the sales it could have. Not just to other consoles but also Android and IOS ports of it.

And here we are today with the headline on VGC front page:

Microsoft 'Would Like to See Game Pass on All Platforms'

I guess if that happens, there will be no new day 1 Xbox titles on the special Nintendo and Playstation versions (ha!) of Game Pass, because they have no further plans to bring first party games to other platforms. Or something.

Would say those predictions would hold more water than several of the sales one done for X1 the start of the gen, don't remember you mocking those. Also don't remember you having a fork to pitch against a fellow Xbox fan that said for him the best PS4 game was God of War with a solid 7.5 score.

So, maybe it was only to other platforms players feel a little of the taste of xbox games, right?
They will want to play the sequels (Ori Will o wips) and will have to get access to the xbox ecosystem.
Well played.
For now, the only chance to games apear in other platforms is with xCloud. At least developers dont waste time porting games and can develop more.
And this trial experience could have helped to bring people to xCloud. Lets see future steps.

I hope we have xCloud on switch. O at least a system to stream my xbox to my switch.

The first part of that is nonsense and irrelevant. As if I know and partook in every sales prediction at the start of this gen.

The last part is baffling. Why do I care what some “Xbox fan” thought of GoW? I don’t browse GoW threads, am I supposed to keep tabs on what every single “Xbox fan” thinks of every single game 😆
