Hey Nintendo and Sony:
Playstation, Nintendo and PC are all that's needed.some of yall cheering for them to go third party dont realize how bad its going to be to have 1 platform. im not counting nintendo.
Consumers need the 2 choices, otherwise enjoy the anti consumer changes were going to get to PS
People really like to misquote that. Read that entire statement again.Jim Ryan once said they believe in generations, yet we know how that turned out. Execs talk without knowing what they’re talking about.

Hey Nintendo and Sony:
I don't think you need a trojan horse. Let's just use PlayStation as the hypothetical. As long as the subscription and any potential game sales, DLC sales, MTX sales, etc. are transacted through PSN (so Sony gets their 30% cut) and any online components utilize Sony's infrastructure, I don't see Sony saying no as it is no different than EA Play or GTA+.
Pretty sure this is about having enough IPs and studios to isolate Gamepass into a platform bubble on it’s own to push out everywhere, not physical and digital Xbox games on other consoles.
They’ll likely start doing Gamepass exclusives too since Gamepass is essentially their platform and they know exclusives is how you drive people to your platform.
I could be wrong but I don’t think I am.
Don’t know if Call of Duty could be used as a Trojan horse to get Gamepass onto other platforms. It’ll be something that is deemed to be significant in the market like that anyway. Won’t be Hi-Fi Rush.
Bingo that's literally what it is. Gamepass was a play to attract people who weren't in ecosystem who built backlog in another ecosystem. They wanted to reduce the friction between switching consoles. By offering people there entire catalogue, which as a whole didn't sell much for a low monthly fee.I look forward to PlayStation gamers subsiding the games I get to play through my GP sub. I get to play games on the cheap, you get to purchase games at full price, everybody's happy.
Good luck with your GaaS push when MS is looking to beat you to your own market with their own wildly successful GaaS titles. I guess you'll just have to be happy with the 30%.
Is this a subtle joke about Earl Simmons and the Xbox brand being dead?
They are done with console. They want their games everywhere like all phones, pc, devices and CLOUD.". . .deliver them to folks across all platforms, right, which is Xbox and consoles. . ." I reckon that pretty much removes some doubt about the future. What are the odds Hellblade 2 gets announced for PS5 as well? I sure would like to play it with the advanced haptics of the Dualsense.
I've seen this a lot but I've never known the context. Cocaine?Nadella is low energy we need big dick MS energy back with Ballmer
windows 95 launch aka the money danceI've seen this a lot but I've never known the context. Cocaine?
Ehhh. Not all people. Less boxes under my tv, the better.They are done with console. They want their games everywhere like all phones, pc, devices and CLOUD.
and stupid Sony will follow them without fucking realizing that there is no money there if they don’t have Microsoft money.
Just be like Nintendo. Confident and content in a classic model people want.
Nice of him to admit they don't currently make great games.Meanwhile, the statement:
"We think that now, we have the ability to really do what we've always set out to do, which is to build great games and deliver them to folks on all platforms."
They were not able to have satisfying results with home console market so instead of going to do something else, they are changing our industry and taking it down with them as they transfer to doing something else.
They lost and are changing the industry in a way to maximise profit. Services and gaas. It’s bad in a long term for games.
And of course that would say they look to the future and that classic gone console is going away because they lost in the present.
And all I want is classic home consoles with physical media and normal games. That’s it. Just continue the industry as it was created and why we love it. Like Nintendo with some faults even.
I mean it’s a game console and games business. They could both probably make more money doing real estate or selling cars if they are not happy with revenue. Changing whole industry because they can squeeze more money is just scummy
The console war is finally over. We should celebrate by playing video games
This would be like some alternate earth where Superman and Lex Luthor become best friends and rule earth together, making Brainiac the hero.Its far from over. Watch as MS teams up with someone who wants into the console business.........(hint it has a apple logo).......and they just happen to make thier own ARM based chip......hmmm.......
I agree with this possibility however, and I think it's highly likely MS does this or teams up with Legion Go/ROG Ally.Or ms could release it's own hybrid handheld still, at a very competitive price. Maybe they take the Nintendo route, one system, who cares if it's powerfull.
We already have a platform for those people...He said xbox consoles! That's me happy.
I say go for it. Make even more bank, that's what a business is there to do. Just give me my option to buy an xbox and keep pushing that hardware.
If they truly aren't bothered about console sales. Make me a 799 xbox that has 3d cache and a beastly gpu. Allow those that want a beefy xbox console to get it. Stop competing with Sony and what those console buyers think is the right budget, push a higher end option for thise willing to pay and sell 10 million of them.
‘We want to do our very best work in gaming, it’s a core business for us’"xbox is a core business now"
Would you look at that.. xbox all grown up
Race to the bottomI get to play games on the cheap
I feel 100 percent confident they are sticking in the hardware space. It just makes sense for them. Especially since the apple and epic news. You need your own marketplace and platform for the US.
Satya doing what he does best. The ftc are still on microsofts back about Activision and Microsoft want it to close and fuck off.
Start acting like you are third party, sit there and answer all the gamers questions in this vaguet.
If games launch on playstation with no xbox sign In, we can see how desperate they were to make money of software sales alone.
Oh, we just twisted it a little bit to make it about Xbox, instead of "gaming" to pretend that Xbox is still a big deal for Microsoft, and they aren't thinking from a broader "gaming" perspective that an all-platform gaming publisher would. No big deal.‘We want to do our very best work in gaming, it’s a core business for us’
Was the quote.
Yea I could see that as well, they'd probably make a lot of money doing that as wellGood. Maybe they can start porting stuff to PlayStation by the end of the generation.
My guess is they make a single expensive SKU “benchmark” console that doesn’t really compete with PlayStation and can be sold at a small margin.
No chance, Satya is a visionary much like Spencer and when they talk about gaming they're talking about the future of gaming and where its headed. The here and now is a very different landscape and Microsoft are first and foremost building Gamepass on Xbox and PC.". . .deliver them to folks across all platforms, right, which is Xbox and consoles. . ." I reckon that pretty much removes some doubt about the future. What are the odds Hellblade 2 gets announced for PS5 as well? I sure would like to play it with the advanced haptics of the Dualsense.
i miss clever xbox, arrogant MS sucked, just buying all studios for consolidation sucks.I miss arrogant microsoft
Tim Stuart, the CFO, who was sitting beside Satya in this interview, has already name-dropped the two consoles in a previous interview:Until he say PlayStation or Nintendo. Not holding my breath for it
Ps plus existed prior to Games for Gold being a thing, in fact it was a direct response to PS plus. However I get your premises of what your saying.i miss clever xbox, arrogant MS sucked, just buying all studios for consolidation sucks.
i miss them forcing Sonys hand for cross-play, forcing Sony and Nintendo to improve their Online offerings.
Without XBL and XBGG we wouldn't have PS+ or Nintendo Switch Online. Without gamepass (and EA play to be fair) we wouldn't have PS + Premium or Ubisoft +.
That's the Microsoft/Xbox that i miss, the ones who innovated and forced their competitors to get with the times.

To be fair, xbox was always marketed as the dude bro mountain dew consoleSorry Xbros, but this is your fault.
You should have asked more of MS years ago instead of always saying yes to Halo & Gears endless turds
You should have been ultra vocal when it was announced that all games would come to PC day 1, thus killing Xbox exclusives and the attractivity of the platform
You definitely should not have stop buying games by subscribing to the ridiculous Gamepass, thus making 3rd parties go away
Now it's too late.
Don't worry.I find it hilarious that people are preaching Microsoft's exit from hardware business.
I mean. I'm sure Good Guy Sony® will make sure that their next console will be priced "competitively" (when there is no competition left) and I'm sure they won't have any reason to raise prices of PlayStation Plus again and prices of their first party games.
Jesus. People are just delusional.
But whatever. It would be funny when people will wait for Xbox first-party games on other platform in same way they are waiting for Microsoft's exit from console hardware business. "Any time now" since 2014
"The year is 2032 and I'm sure this will be year when Indiana Jones will finally come to PS5"
Yup. They are so mediocre that people are port-begging for themDon't worry.
If Xbox games will be released on PlayStation they will directly compete with Sony 1st party and their mediocrity will become even more obvious.
There will always be people port-begging on any platform.Yup. They are so mediocre that people are port-begging for them
Yes. That's why most played and best selling games on PlayStation are FIFA, Fortnite and Call of Duty. Because "people wants exclusives"There will always be people port-begging on any platform.
It's mostly the idea of Xbox games being available. If people really wanted Xbox exclusives, Xbox would be successful. But they're irrelevant.
