It sounds like consoles are just one piece of the Xbox strategy

“Every screen is an Xbox,” Bond said in the internal meeting, according to multiple sources who requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to media. Sarah spoke extensively about Xbox’s strategy of existing on multiple kinds of devices and greater ambitions of becoming the number one cross-platform gaming company.

Phil confirmed to employees there would be “future hardware” from Xbox and added that it would be safe to assume another Call of Duty was coming this fall. He addressed the company’s recent job cuts and said that it had been a hard decision to stop things that weren’t working.

This isn’t the first time Xbox has shared its multi-device strategy. In 2020, Jason Ronald told me that Xbox is “not trying to force the player to upgrade to an individual device or to make things exclusive to this device or that device.”

Why Did Xbox Show 'Palworld' On “Every Screen” At A Company Meeting?

Remember how people used to call video games at one time 'Nintendo,' even if it was not a Nintendo system, they want that notoriety so damned bad. And will cringe PR speak it ad nauseum.

Just because you say, "eVeRy sCrEeN iS xBoX," doesn't make it so.

[Little Chicken]

People are trying to come up with one.

 

[panda-zebra]

So now I'm wondering if what is actually going to happen is that Microsoft has struck a deal with Nintendo and Sony for XCLOUD games on these platforms.
There is no way sea of thieves and more modern titles are going to work on switch natively. Maybe switch 2 but Im thinking they can offer all these XBOX games to Sony and Switch players via Cloud easily. Offer Nintendo and Sony a % for the games and now they have a new install base for all their IP's

 

[Punished Miku]

Whats the issue here?

People invested in the Xbox store. Thats the only issue. The closed console is toast now.
