Jesus, Forza games are made from the same game engine that they periodically update in order to be able to make the sequels faster. And Halo, well, you need to show us where that money is going to. Because it sure as hell can't be seen on the screen. Edited September 25, 2020 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Indie bullshit purchases like Inxile, and Ninja Theory are cheap. The only way Phil would ever get 7.5 billion to spend is out of MS's larger budget not XBox budget, this is a higher up MS purchase like Minecraft was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If MS's backward compatibility solutions and Xcloud and other technologies are found to be impressive, then sony may want to invest in MS's Xcloud. Just like most sony offices likely use Microsoft Exchange server, Windows clients and servers. If Sony buys into that they could built it themselves licensed from MS. If they can't figure it out they will call MS for support. Or they may hire MS to build it for them.. This is all money in MS pocket. The games and exclusives are cool but there's more money to be made. Anyone who thought MS was out of the game is nuts.

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Sony's annual profits are like 2 billion, and they make more money than MS and Nintendo combined right now. XBox profits are less than 1 billion a year, you're seriously suggesting Phil got 8 a year check of profits out of thin air. It's not an XBox division purchase it's greenlit like Minecraft by the CEO. It's exactly the reason they will be multiplat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,670 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The best thing for MS to do is honestly do what they said. Xbox, PC, Gamepass.. then other games on Switch on a case by case basis. As for PS4... either skip it, or have a year timed exclusive for Xbox platforms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 ink isnt even dry on the contract yet, and the deal isnt even done till next year ffs. Hes not going to go on record and say "EVERY SINGLE GAME XCLUSIVE". Its in ms best interest to evaluate what they can do with the cards they now hold. Releasing Elder Scrolls VI or Fallout exclusive, day 1 game pass on Series X is an option, as is exclusive for 1 year, then afterwards toss PS5 a lazy port for $70 to milk PS5 owners is also an option. They have a lot of possibilities. What isn't up for debate is all games from those 8 studios in the acquisition will be developed primarily for, and launch day 1 on series x and gamepass.

Doesn't sony pay MS for server licenses, ms sql licenses, Windows server licenses, exchange server licenses, IIS, SharePoint, Azure, windows 10 licenses for ever employee lmfao.. sony pays millions upon millions of dollars in yearly licensing fees to MS. What's different about this.. MS literally engineered this Xcloud infrastructure. If sony wants to get with the times they'll do the same. But they won't know how because MS is the experts. Oh well.
