Phil Spencer on Indy coming to PS5: "It’s just going to be a strategy that works for us."

[Cell 639]

Soooooo, basically, the strategy is stop expecting the Xbox to make you a profit and put your prized games on your main rival instead whilst fucking the xbox faithful in the process? 
 

Okey dokey. 
 

 

Edit:

C'mon now boys. You know what this means. The whole slate.

Phil should just commit to every game going forward to be also on PS and Nintendo consoles, and simply stipulate that some games may have a slight exclusivity window of 3-6 months to push Gamepass.  

 

Just get that part over with, set the expectation for your console fanbase so they can stop making themselves look retarded every time they have a glimmer of hope that a game will remain exclusive lol.

6 months for everything, makes the most sense.

Yea, essentially whatever works for them to give enough value to GamePass, while at the same time allowing the marketing and hype cycles to drive sales on other platforms as well.

Not all titles will be staggered... They've already announced major titles that will be day and date on PS5.

Nah.  The Switch 2 will be plenty powerful enough for MS' games.  Switch will be important to gain a stronger presence in the Japanese market.

Sheep will be lucky if Switch 2 can play games at the level of Gears 5. It would melt trying to play Hellblade 2 or Avowed.

There is also something called the "switch effect" where the hardware sales are so high and userbase extremely active and games both third party and first party hit sales records not seen on other Nintendo hardware. Not even the 150 million selling DS. 

 

Wii for example sold 100 million but had a very non active "core gamer" userbase.

These games will run perfectly fine on Switch 2 cause the hardware allows it. It wont even be Switch style miracle ports.
