You dont believe jeff scrub?

That's exactly how i think it has gone down too, if the rumors are true of course. His a free agent looking for work now. Companies would be offering him contracts.

Its a money world, not a friends world. 

MS is really doing a lot of great decisions early on in the gen. It might not be the case right now, but i feel like in the long run, like mid or end of the gen, they will be back on track. I do not see them keep the low market share they had during last gen, i think they can easily reach 70-80 millions consoles.

So what you are saying is you're getting Death Stranding vibes all over again?

I mean, I know Death Stranding was a lot bigger than Blue Dragon. But, given the difference in expectations, you could switch out a couple of names and your comment could be relatively unchanged for Death Stranding itself.  

People talking about him being washed up ... are you all forgetting PT? Not even a full game, but just a demo that was so great that it inspired a series of PT clones and brought back the horror genre to the mainstream once again. Just the rumors a few months ago of a Silent Hills reboot by him generated so much interest. People are still salty about Silent Hills being canceled and mad at Konami for delisting PT.

This will definitively push xCloud+GamePass adoption in Japan, which is what MS is really after in that region. The traditional home consoles market in Japan is shrinking anyway. They scaled back investment during the Xbox One era, but with xCloud, they see a real opportunity, and we may see investments from MS in Japan similar to early 360 days.

This could be big on Gamepass. If it was a traditional release I don't think it would meet the financial expectations, most of Kojima's fanbase is on Playstation platforms. But combine the hype of being a game from Kojima + being available on Gamepass It could shatter GB's records.

No, like I said I'm getting Blue Dragon vibes, where MS is trying to get a footing of the Japanese market by getting big name Japanese developer to create an exclusive game.

There's nothing surprising about Sony getting exclusive games from big name Japanese developers.

If they are trying to do that, good luck to them. Sony's approach in the last couple of years has been sidelining japanese titles more and more, it would be nice if Xbox started to gain a bit more traction over there as well, as a wake up call for Sony.

Personally I'd love for MS to collaborate with Capcom again for a new Dino Crisis or remake.  Unfortunately Dino Crisis 3 didn't do so well but would love for the franchise to come back.

There's no market for it, Sony aren't just leaving for no reason
