Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Should Go Third Party.

If anyone should go third party, it should be Sony. They have all the games that people want. They don't need to waste money on hardware. Just make money from their awesome games.

most games are on PC via PS now

In this case it actually makes sense - MS is not interested in being a video game developer/publisher. They treat XBOX as a service/outlet for other services. It would be in MS favor to just license out IP's to those actual developers willing to make them.

In a few years I doubt MS will exist in the video game industry as they are now... Actually as they were before. They will probably be like steam/ios/apple store. Its where they want to be.

Actually, why even make games at all? Let's eliminate the gaming industry!

You're just saying that because you only play games from like 10 years ago so you don't care. :)

Miguel, isn't the 4th gen your favourite? It seems like you'd be fine with older games too!



I'd like to see them let Nintendo take over the XBox brand and run it, but I doubt MS would agree just yet, they sell too many systems. They would need a real flop, and XBox One isn't that.

I hope we all get smahed by a comet.

Im more of a "scorched earth" kind of apocalypse enthusiast, but yeah, a comet doesnt sound so bad tbh.

Oh, there'd plenty of scorched earth from a comet impact, plus the colliding objects fetishists get their fix too. It's win-win.

Microsoft already is third party. Third party is all the games they are ever gonna get. *Ba-dum-tish!*

You gonna be here all week? I already tipped my waitress.



Offer the brand to Nintendo, keep a cut of licensing fees and XBox Live fees, continue to make Halo and Forza and Killer Instinct games for it. Let Nintendo run/distribute it going forward, MS Games can remain and make 2nd party games under Nintendo's direction.

If anyone says crap about Chrono Trigger or SotN, I'll punch 'em right in the mouth!



Maybe. Just make games for the other consoles and pc. It would probably be a nice profit for ms.
