>>714210214 (OP)
Which studios will close tomorrow?

>>714215513

>>714212826
Grounded?

>>714216578
literally who

>>714210214 (OP)
Without him Xbox would have been kill long ago

>>714215513
Compulsion seems the most likely but I hear it's mostly a gutting from every studio.

>“We’re not in the business of out-consoling Sony or out-consoling Nintendo. There isn’t really a great solution or win for us. I know that will upset a ton of people, but it’s just the truth of the matter. When you’re third place in the console marketplace and the top two players are as strong as they are and, in certain cases, have very discrete focus on doing deals and other things make being on Xbox hard as a team - that’s on us, not on anybody else - our vision is that everybody that’s on console has to feel like they have a great experience and they’re a first class citizen.
>But we’re not in a position - and I see out there, I see commentary, that if you just build great games everything would turn around. It’s just not true that if we go off and build great games, all of the sudden you’re going to see console shares shift in some dramatic way. We lost the worst generation to lose in the Xbox One generation when everybody built their digital library of games.
>We want our Xbox community to feel awesome, but this idea that if we just focused more on great games on our console that somehow we’re going to win the console race doesn't really lay into the reality. I see a lot of pundits out there that kinda want to go back to the time when we all had cartridges and discs and every new generation was a clean slate and you could switch the whole share. That’s just not the world that we are in today. There’s no world where Starfield is an 11/10 and people start selling their PS5s. That’s not gonna happen.”
Phil Spencer, 2023. Head of Microsoft Xbox Gaming Studios.

>>714212826
Scalebound!

>>714210214 (OP)
What does he do?

>>714223063
Why did they cancel it again?

Why did he do it?

>>714224798
Kamiya's was scamming Microsoft instead of developing the game.

>>714215513
ninja theory, perfect dark will be cancelled too

So what studios are they keeping? Rare, Bethesda, and some other shit I can't think of right now?

>>714210214 (OP)
He doesn't destroy studios, he just doesn't save them.

>>714210214 (OP)
This guy literally destroyed Xbox trying to save Xbox.

I wonder who will enter in the power vaccum left to Microsoft. Maybe Samsung?

>>714226301
Nobody

>>714212826
Sea of thieves
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>714212826
Fable! Black & White!

>>714226301
There will be a xbox 5 anon, It may be the last one

>>714227401
Xbox can't sell hardware for the life of them. Why do you think they'll release another Xbox?
The negative press would be devastating

>>714226301
probably some jeet like the rest of microsoft

>>714227504
They announced that hardware partnership with AMD for the next Xbox recently. On paper they seemingly have plans to make another console, but everyone can see the writing on the wall... I suspect it will end up getting cancelled. I bet even internally they have no real plans right now and don't know what to do.

>>714225226
activision blizzard is almost certainly still profitable

>>714227852
That "partnership" amounts to nothing but empty words. AMD is working on APUs for Notebooks, Handhelds and Consoles regardless of Microsoft's plans.

>>714227931
Yes and the funny things is they are still pretty much independent because of it. ActiBlizz has not been absorbed into Xbox studios so far.
Maybe it will work the other way around lmao

>>714226301
Probably Samsung yeah

>>714228491
Do you consider Apple a video game competitor?

>>714210214 (OP)
Anyone find it curious why a millionaire like Phil has one yellow teeth he refuses to fix at the dentist? I thought rich people could afford the best dental care

>>714228914
No time
Has to produce games

>>714229908
What games?

>>714228414
>Maybe it will work the other way around lmao
Very likely, most of xbox may be absorbed by Activision and Activision will be spun off

>>714230030
Don't ask

ninja theory
machine games
the rest of arkane
compulsion games
doublefine games
the forza mainline devs (not horizon)

>>714230320
>xbox hardware team

>>714210214 (OP)
Phil had no real power. The Xbox brand has been death warmed over for over a decade.

>>714210214 (OP)
