You don't stay rich by thinking like this lol... |
You're aware of how much Microsoft makes right? It would be very small and hardly cause MS to lose their riches, don't kid yourself now.
They made a loss on 360 at launch but got back into profit fairly quickly, that ecosystem is still doing well ($800m past year) so it will subsidise Xbox One losses if there are any.
Cutting $100 and selling 10 million units is a $1bill loss, again peanuts to MS.
That goes fast... Indies comments about new Xbone strategy.
"If they're going the route of iOS where anyone can publish — where some kid in Ohio can make the next Angry Birds in his mom's basement (just to throw in a stereotype), this is brilliant news." - Kevin Dent, CEO of Tiswaz Entertainment
"In a market where Apple, Steam, and PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 allow indies to self publish, Microsoft has to do this to compete for indie developer attention," he said. "More options for developers means more interesting games getting out to players. It's a win for everyone. - Uber Entertainment executive producer Chandana Ekanayake
"If this ends up being a repeat of Xbox Live Indie Games — the not-so-successful 'indie self-publishing' platform for the Xbox 360 — where the games are all quarantined off into their own segment and hard to find, it will be harder to justify the resources than if independent games are able to take their place front and center with the rest of the releases," Sawler said. "Microsoft has taken some great steps to react to the feedback they've gotten post-E3 so far, but until we can see more about how they're going to be providing this we don't have any official plans either way." - Bryan Sawler, president of Dragon Fantasy developer Muteki Corp
"We [previously] did not have plans to publish on Xbox One in the near future, but now it is a possibility, which is nice," Kazdal said. "A healthy range of choices for small developers is nothing but good news." - 17-Bit's Jake Kazdal
"One of the bigger things, being a developer and a consumer, is that it puts Sony and Microsoft on equal footing, in a lot of ways, which is always good because it forces them to have to compete even more for our money," Rambo told Polygon.
Copied only some.

Eww Polygon...
That is unheard of, isn´t? Massive news for indie and indie wannabe developers, that could change the whole industry forever.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I read something about "Sony's gamescom surprise is going to be a bit more surprising"... Gamescon is getting exciting for both sides... next-gen baby.

Does Microsoft even have a surprise now? I'm reading everywhere that this self publishing was supposed to be it lol. Don't understand how it would have been surprising though, I expected this once they saw what Sony were doing.

From Sidhe developer on GAF...
"A few months ago this was not being planned by them internally, and they explicitly said it wasn't going to be possible (and that was the clear message behind closed doors). There were even factions within Microsoft aware of the stupidity of the situation who were proactively looking for loopholes to effectively allow self publishing in a practical sense even if it wasn't technically the case.
This is a change in policy and strategy from earlier in the year, and the fact it isn't going to be ready at launch is evidence that this change is recent.
Great news for independent developers and publishers in any case. Looking forward to hearing more because the devil is in the details."

Um...exclusive announcements?
Self publishing is one thing, but making every X1 a dev kit is truly something they have over PS4.
