So what new big IPs Sony announced/teased for this financial year? Unless there will be major releases shadow drops- which would be an interesting tactic.

Sony had two showcases, one they used for gaas promotion and the other for their second/third party deals... for now they have ZERO first party (not gaas) games announced for this fiscal year (wnd mar/25) people are banking on a new shown/release strategy that has no justification... Im think they are way behind their pipeline, made some wrong choices and will depend on this outside deals until 2025 comes... It does not look good right now.. but if they come swinging with big exclusives for their end of the gen it may be worth it... not going to put my hand on the fire for them right now

I don’t think they are quite there yet, but they are taking steps to get there. Xbox started charging for online and the others followed, Xbox came out with a multi-tiered system allowing a game rental program and the others followed. Both Spencer and Nadela have said over the past five years how they don’t really want console exclusives and started the Xbox Anywhere program placing exclusives on PC. Sony followed suit and started doing the same thing. I truly believe that we will see console exclusives start to disappear, especially when you look at the budgets of these games like we saw with the Insomniac leak and Spider-Man 2.

If it was as ‘strong as ever’, then it wouldn’t be putting out games on third party platforms.

Basically it’s doing the right thing in order to adapt and survive in a world where they can’t compete on hardware sales. This is a good step for Xbox though. They need to get their software out there.

During the master system sega ported a few of their biggest games to the nes to stay a float then later made it big on the genesis.

Then completely fucked it all up.


Moral is it. You never know 🤷‍♂️🤣

This rooting for a company that doesn't care about gamers but only their wallets, is very amusing and at the same time interesting to watch. So many are riled up!

Xbox does care about my wallet. I get to play whatever I want from them for 10 bucks each month on PC and I can pause my sub if there are big games on PS or Switch or PC that are not on GP.

And expansions, keep in mind that a lot of their releases are multiplat releases too. Things like CoD, and the Diablo 4 expansion. Wouldn't even be surprised if they're including the rumoured PS/Switch releases in that.

Just setting expectations to avoid disappointment. They only said "XGS has 10 major releases this year" and the OP literally read that as "They're gonna announce 10 new games in 2024" .

OP’s certainly incorrect to assume the 10 releases means 10 games, but you’re even way worse off the mark to imagine Switch or PlayStation ports are part of that.

Call of Duty is certainly part of that. Not sure why it matters that it’s multiplatform since it’s still a first party release, and will undoubtedly be making a franchise debut on Switch 2 and GamePass.

I don’t think their business is ‘stronger than ever’ as OP says, though.

I'm way worse off the mark than "they will announce 10 new games in 2024"? Come on man surely even you don't believe that. Nobody said "it matters" that they're multiplatform. I'm just clarifying the OPs misunderstanding.

Yeah. Both of you are well off the mark. They already have 6 games confirmed for 2024 (Avowed, HB2, Flight Sim 2024, Towerborne, Ara, Call of Duty). We know they’re counting the Diablo and Starfield expansions in the list. How would you imagine 4 of that 10 are ports to Switch/PS?

Who said they're all releasing this year? I just said "I wouldn't be surprised if" some of the 10 are those releases because I couldn't think of 10 and neither could you. That's not "way worse off the mark" than "they will announce 10 new games in 2024". Get real and try again.

4 community based games that need a wider userbase to survive going multiplatform hence bringing more money to MS and making Xbox healthier.

They're gonna announce 10 new games this 2024 while Sony just announced no new first party games for the rest of 2024.

Also they announced a new ultra powerful Xbox for Christmas, Sony said they would try to have the most powerful console next-gen, won't happen.

I know what most responses are gonna be like as this forum is a PS centric circus lately but still worth stating some facts.

All this new 10 games will be on pc,ps and switch soon or later so doesn't matter.

Exclusives and physic games are my two main reasons to buy consoles.

Both are disappearing, so there's no point now.

Cool.

In that case…

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, agreed, bollocks.

You may not like them, they may not have hit heights you were ambitiously expecting, but ‘really bad’? Nah.

Microsoft have the exclusives everyone wants to play. The fake rumors made the detractors drop all of their pretense of disinterest.

Not gonna lie. I'm interested in all of these (removed Starfield as this is done)

Clockwork revolution I have a feeling will be a massive surprise, inXile never misses.
Avowed is effectively FPS Pillars of Eternity.. so yes? Yes please.

It’s all about growth. They will sell more software by porting games to other consoles.

Does that mean they will shift more hardware?

Does that mean Game Pass subscribers will go up?

Probably not.

First of all, OP is slightly delusional. There will absolutely be no new super powerful Xbox hardware this year, and while they may announce 10 games this year, who know's when those games will launch and start making a difference.

That being said, if we're talking about Xbox as a publisher than I agree, Xbox could become stronger than ever as 3rd party publisher. They have so many well known and beloved IP's under their belt now, that as long as they handle things the right way they should become bigger than EA, Take Two and Ubisoft combined.

Xbox as hardware is dead as fuck though.

Wrong. They said a couple of community based games. That leaves two that are not.

Wrong. Sony is not releasing first party sequels in 2024.

No. That is not what happened.

Not one fact was stated but I am glad you are excited for Xbox’s future.
