Xbox's Aaron Greenberg: "We have a lot planned to show for 2023, you will not have to wait too long for what’s next for us. Timing is key."

What don’t I get? Do you think the metacritic scores are wrong?
Dude tuve 4th game is Stanly parable that for some reason has higher score on Xbox.
Actually check the list and see that Ps5 have all the games on the Xbox list plus more.
But you do you.

You don't get why people criticize MS.

True. People keep saying they don’t release enough good games, while critics and reviews are clearly saying there’s negligible difference between xbox and playstation.
For people to praise PlayStations output and criticise xbox doesn’t make sense when you look at how good the games are on both consoles.

And some of the xbox games are rated lower on xbox than playstation. GTA5, for example, counts as 80+ on playstation but 79 on xbox, so I included that in PlayStations results but not Xbox’s.

The 2 consoles are more or less the same in Xbox’s worst year. What does that say about playstation?

Yisus. Embarrassing dude. Just chill out a bit.
 
Enlighten me then, please. All I see is playstation being praised and xbox getting shit for having roughly similar game output this year.
1. Are you an Xbox fan?
2. Do you consider yourself an objective or biased observer of the videogame industry?

1) yes
2) I’m pretty biased I would say, that’s why I use metacritic to take the subjectivity out of it.

Do you have a problem with the metacritic scores for the two consoles this year?

Genuine question, are you saying what you're saying as a coping mechanism or because you genuinely believe what you say?

If it's the former then I empathise, if the latter then you might need to see someone about getting help for delusion.

Sony first party and Nintendo first party didn't show anything of note, yet apparently this is only damning for Microsoft. The big boy platform holders have all decided they don't need TGA. Directs, showcases and SoPs are the name of the game these days.

honestly, I genuinely believe it. I’ve played a load of great games released on xbox this year. What is it that makes you think that’s a delusion?

Excellent. Please inform Greenberg and Phil so that they can keep on repeating their performance from this year.

I’ve no doubt they’ll release more games more often in the future, but if every year they bring out a roughly even number of great games as playstation manages then that’s not a bad thing.

That is not the point of the criticism.

What is the criticism, then?

I can't believe you are this clueless.

The criticism is about:

The lack/consistency of Xbox First Party AAA games release schedule.

Nothing regarding MC (unless such releases get 70 or lower scores).

Then the criticism is pretty flawed.
Third party games exist, and a third party multiplatform game just won game of the year.

If you only care about first party releases then you’re missing out on an awful lot. The fact is that Xbox owners have had roughly as many great games to play as playstation owners have in 2022.

That's not what people are saying,it's about xbox not releasing any first party games,and always saying next year

Which would be a problem if third party multiplatform games didn’t exist, but they do. Because of that xbox has had a roughly even year in terms of game quality as playstation has had.

Games will be made when they are made, they shouldn’t be rushed or forced by the platform owner. Until they are released, we play the games that are available to us.
As shown in metacritic, the quality of new games available to xbox and playstation owners this year is roughly the same.

No. (unless if you are a delusional fanboy)

How many games nominaded to GOTY can you only play on Play Station?

God of War Ragnarok
Horizon Forbiden West
Stray.

🤣. Your Goal Post moving backfired spectacularly 😂.

I am not. The job of the console holders is to produce the best content possible to make their machine differentiate and more attractive than the others.

Not even Green influencers are as delusional as you.

My point hasn’t changed throughout any of this - my point is that despite all the criticism, xbox has plenty of games for people to play. Well done playstation for getting 3 GOTY nominated games - that doesn’t take away from the games from this year available to be played on xbox, which as metacritic shows are roughly even in quality all things considered.

If you only care about first party games you absolutely are missing out on a lot, and it’s mad to think you don’t believe that.
Have you never played any third party multiplatform games?

Not showing something at the Game awards is the least of our concerns. They could have shown Hellblade 2 for the third time without a release date it would have been even way more embarassing. But they would have put a good show at least i guess lol. I prefer when they just shut up honestly, don't come until you got something tangible.
 
To be fair to Xbox fans, they can't possibly wait much longer anymore because the games delayed to early 2023 were already delayed, and I doubt Microsoft is going to delay those delays again with another delay.

Maybe.

So Xbox fans will finally get something early next year, they're waiting has paid off.
when i see it ill beleive it...
 
Sony already made it tough this year with their first party output. GT7, horizon 2 and GOW Ragnarok is a High bar to reach. Right now, Microsoft can't even reach a quarter of the way up to that bar. Actually, they didn't even jump at all this year.

I'm only disappointed because I was hoping there would have been a major first party release this spring. This announcement does not stop them from surprise announcing a release date, but it would be atypical of Xbox to at least let us know something is coming months in advance.

just think we were supposed to have been playing starfield now (if u have an xbox), not that i am excited for it or really care anyway but that would have been nice.
 
The problem with this statement/situation, other than the obvious, it puts so much pressure on thier studios to release absolute bangers. If hellblade, Redfall, Starfield etc are not masterpieces then MS is in trouble. They dont have the luxury of a destruction Allstars type game hell even what most think Forspoken will be.

I feel like they’re always saying this but it never actually amounts to anything. I feel like this is the 6th or 7th time an Xbox executive has made this kind of statement but the following year has been anemic. I guess they just don’t get it.

No time like the present. Even if you can't show much of your work, you could have at least shown something beyond "You can play Xbox games on your Samsung TV".

I might be going out on a limb, but I feel like Starfield specifically will be a banger. Just hearing Sony tried getting exclusive before MS 1upd them and bought entire Pub. Then looking at Pedigree of biggest games (I ignore 76 as a quick cash grab). Altogether, yeah, I bet Xbox owners are in for a real treat.
