It's been a wild week in the world of Xbox. Community morale is as low as it's been since the Xbox One unveiling back in 2013, as rumor after report after rumor after report suggests that Microsoft is going to put some of its biggest games (like Starfield and Indiana Jones) on PS5. We spend the entire show discussing Microsoft's potentially earth-shaking new strategy, how poor their messaging has been both with this and going back many years now, and then what happens if indeed they're right. Join us!

Talking about things like "jealousy because others get to play the games you can already play". It's not even close to the issue. Who would ever buy an Xbox? Why would Xbox players buy the next Xbox when they can get Xbox games on Playstation PLUS Playstation games. Exclusives sell consoles - look at the Switch. The conversation on this podcast is so unbelievably nonsense. Never heard a conversation so tone deaf from a dedicated podcast. Wow.

The dude in the pink headphones is the definition of shortsighted... so, those things we already own that he talks about are increasingly digital based, and we kinda don't own them. If MS stops making hardware, which is a real possibility in a world where all their games go to PS5, how long until the store we download those things we (don't) own from goes away too? Also, if there is no direct hardware competition for Sony, what stops them from hiking up their prices even more than they are already doing? Seems to me the most likely solution for their "losing money" on the console sale is not to stop making them, it's to charge more for them. Obviously we don't know this is the case yet, but we can't pretend it is not a valid concern

That is a real concern but Xbox games is not making enough money, subscription numbers are not high enough, they have been losing for almost 15 years, and it's up with your wallet and people have.

If you only have one console or even own multiple consoles and have bought most of your game library for the Xbox this situation would make you panic. If you have hundreds of games on the Xbox and it sounds like they're moving towards multiplatform, that diminishes the console and the health of the system all of your library is attached to. If Microsoft's next system is cloud only because of this move that means your entire old library can only be streamed from here on out. It seems as though you would have been better off buying a Nintendo or Playstation platform that would eventually get Xbox exclusives. Multiplatform first-party games is the beginning of the end of the game console if you go by the history console video gaming. People have a right to be pissed, and I'm not even a primary Xbox guy. Hopefully this is just a few third parties going to other systems and that's the end of it. If it's Halo or Gears, then it's over.

Gamepass is one of the many reasons why this is happening. The Xbox user base is too small to sustain it. Instead of focusing on increasing hardware sales through a steady stream of high-quality games, they focused on selling a subscription service that ironically led to hardware sales going down even further.

Wild how bad these takes are. No one is mad that more people are playing Xbox games. Xbox games are already available in more places than the console. The issue is around competition. If this news is true, purchasing a PS provides access to all PS exclusives, Xbox games, and third-party. On the other hand, Xbox only offers Xbox games and most third-party games. So, why purchase an Xbox now? If MS no longer cares about selling the console, those who've already bought an Xbox will feel burned b/c they would've had more options had they bought a PS. and stop talking about loyalty as if customers owe it to the company to be loyal. People are going to move to the console that provides the most value. Which will clearly be the PS. So, PS will now face little competition in the console hardware space. This lack of competition could stifle innovation and increase prices on future consoles. Competition benefits everyone.

This is how it went down with Sega: console sales for the Dreamcast and especially the Saturn tanks with PlayStation (and Nintendo) overtaking them by a large margin, they stop making consoles and go third party. Sega made some bad choices that led them to where they are now. History continues to repeat itself. Lots of people get to enjoy Sega IPs now, which is great for everyone. As for Xbox, it's a nail in the coffin when it comes to the "Console Wars", giving the "win" to Sony... again.

@SteadyAscension 4 ай бұрын

Really disappointed in the conversation here. As a long time listener, this felt like an opportunity to hear and sympathize with the community’s frustration and instead we get ridiculed because we are upset that Microsoft is choosing profits over value to the consumer. It’s elitist to think that everyone can just buy every console every generation, so when you purchase something it should feel justified. Why do you purchase an iPhone over the Samsung and vice versa? It’s because you like those exclusive features to the software. Honestly please bring better and more thoughtful insights, instead of labeling the community as “toxic”

For hosts that claim to produce an Xbox podcasts that targets the Xbox community, it does seem like an odd choice for so many to deliberately take up the view that is absolutely in opposition to the way the community seems to pretty unanimously feel. Perhaps a podcast with a more generic audience would be a better fit for their perspective. What is it about this that will send the fans away from the console to which they've been loyal? Why wouldn't we go to ecosystem that is apparently going to allow you to play everything. Why haven't we been listening when Microsoft says they want to let people play things everywhere? Because they've also repeatedly said that they need to better at providing exclusive experiences and promised that they were coming. We shall see how this shakes out but attitudes like, "Microsoft can make more money by selling more services agnostically" is not a perspective that is friendly to their loyal customers who have long awaited the experiences theyve been promising.

The sense of betrayal comes from a loyal customer being backstabbed by the company they spent decades of time with and thousands of dollars with. You don’t get the sense of betrayal because you aren’t a loyal customer. My favorite sports team isn’t going to start selling other teams gear at their venue. McDonald’s isn’t going to start selling Pepsi. Under Armor doesn’t sell Nikes. IGN wants to be the first or only place to share content. It’s how businesses is done everywhere.

The issue is that PlayStation and PC are the only home consoles that get all the games. Xbox is the ONLY one out of these three that doesn't get PlayStation and Xbox exclusives. Thus Xbox is telling people that the FOMO they had about not getting to play Xbox exclusives was wrong and that we are chumps for buying their console based on that FOMO.
