Playstation Tablet 1,723 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) What lol? “When you talk about Nintendo and Sony, we have a ton of respect for them, but we see Amazon and Google as the main competitors going forward,” says Spencer. “That’s not to disrespect Nintendo and Sony, but the traditional gaming companies are somewhat out of position. I guess they could try to re-create Azure, but we’ve invested tens of billions of dollars in cloud over the years. Edited February 5, 2020 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bhytre 2,753 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yeah Stadia was a great start, competitors began to worry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This is because they’re going to focus heavily on subscription service for next-gen with gamepass. They know they’re already dead in the hardware race. And why would they bash their partners who are going to be hosting MS Studios’s games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,723 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see MS start full PS5 and Switch support down the line. I mean if PS is doing PC and Nintendo is opening up. MS will be the most extreme case of the 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,670 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Phil's not wrong... at all. You have to be a complete fuckhead to not understand what he's saying. MS is looking much farther ahead than "another typical generation"... I said that shit since SS.net. They are pushing gaming in the direction of cloud computing which plays to the strengths and benefits of working for the entire company. They do that... and they have the entirety of MS backing them fullstop. Then it's not just about "gaming"... it's about cloud services.. and MS will put their might behind that. MS has been working on their entire dev stack.. streamlining and improving their tools and APIs for this. They've been working backwards compatibility and cross system services to eventually consolidate their gaming services and remove the need for any specific hardware from the equation. This is why Nadella is behind it 100% and actually putting some funding behind it. You can see Sony just now starting to make decisions leading them in that same direction. They're gonna start bringing their games to PC... probably try to find a way to charge PC gamers for using PSN. They've got to slow get their community used to the idea that PS games could appear elsewhere and that they'll want their services on other devices and shit like that. I can see PSNow getting an overhaul and changing their service to be more like gamepass. There's gonna be a LOT of change coming this gen. You guys fucking know it.

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I know what he is trying to say but he is also full of shit. This is the same guy that said that the Pro wasn't a competitor to the One X. He just doesn't want to mention Sony and Nintendo as competitors because you don't want to be in a competition where you a losing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He just doesn't want to mention Sony and Nintendo as competitors because you don't want to be in a competition where you a losing. They are 100% pushing in the direction they are because of their failure and Sony's utter dominance.. no question. I agree 100%. But this is just putting a speed up on something that was going to happen eventually regardless. MS is in a unique position where their entire business revolves around the cloud. The cloud will affect every single industry in this world. Nothing can escape it. MS, and Phil specifically... is making the best out of the current situation... but their eyes are on the long haul prize. Xbox would have been dropped 100% if Phil didn't convince Nadella that they could push towards a different market. One which plays to the strengths of the company. That's the ONLY reason why Xbox is still with us today... I'm convinced. But it's the way the industry is going... and MS has learned from past mistakes, that it's better to be the ones to push the industry in that direction and be a key player rather than come late and try to catch up.. and completely miss the boat. Gaming is huge, and in the future, with any device.. and services.. it's going to be too large for them to ignore. So in that sense.. you can see why MS views other cloud companies as the real competition. It's not even about having the best games or whatever at that point. It's about having the best cloud infrastructure tuned for this industry.. and offering services to your customers, and those who would be your competition. If they get Sony and even Nintendo eventually on Azure and Sony builds up a huge subscription service... then that's a win over Amazon and Google. I think that's what he's referring to. It's not the fight to make the best games and move the most hardware, but to secure deals with gaming companies like Sony, Nintendo, and even big 3rd party publishers like EA, Ubisoft, and Take Two. Getting those companies on Azure is how MS competes with Google and Amazon. Edited February 6, 2020 by Remij_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
