Satya Nadella wants that PlayStation's money, Phil Spinster now is as relevant as MySpace
Phil Spencer (February 15th 2024):
"Looking forward so 4 games no promise beyond that, so if you're on those other platforms and you see these four games coming please don't take it as some signal that everything is coming, it's not."

'Our commitment to our Xbox customers is you're going to get the opportunity to buy or subscribe to the game, we're going to support the game on other screens. And you are going to see more of our games on more platforms and we just see that as benefit that the franchises we're building and we see that from players and the players love to be able to play'
There’s this small part of me which wants to think that the reason for Sony being so calm lately, especially after Microsoft’s showcase, is because they know this themselves, and they could know more than what’s being said publicly.
It seems the idea is to have other platforms(PS and PC) offset the cost of game pass.
Xbox users get the games on game pass while others pay full price.
Gamepass seems to be Xbox's idea of "exclusive".
These guys are so inconsistent with their messaging. It's difficult to know exactly what they want to do with their games. I've stopped caring. I just focus on the games.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
Fallout 76 players have dropped the big one on Phil Spencer in response to Xbox's closures of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks this week.
Dx12 looks good. So does that mean it will increase the performance and frame rate if it crashed or stopped on dx11 on the same pc specs or what?
Oh Really? the nonbelievers will not like this at all.
Keep up the good work MS.
Probably a dumb question but will I need to upgrade my Gefore GTX 680 to a DX12 card if I want to enjoy the benefits of DX12? I just bought my 680 and Im not too keen on upgrading my GPU again for quite a while
Like how they paused the Directx11 and kept moving the directx12 to show improvement
PC and x box 1 are more unified with windows 10 and directx12. Intel even showed weaker CPU's perform better with directx12 and guess what the x box 1 and PS4 have weak CPU's there is going to be a noticeable performance for x box 1. Playstation fans are falling into the trap directx12 will be more beneficial for PC they are going to be wrong on that.
From that video i see about 5 to 10 per cent increase in visual quality its not a huge leap and i think that maybe thats what Phil was on about massive change. I don't see a huge leap in graphics performance from directx11 to directx12 going by that video.
Mechanism i never said Sony would be unable to bring out something like directx12 in the future you must be confused? The problem it directx12 wasn't an overnight thing its takes many months if not years of coding. Sony would have to look at the code break it down and work at it could take a while to come out with something like it.
Mechanism the only people wrong about sales were you guys i remember you boys touting 16 million around October and November and i said it was around 13 to 14 million around November. I was right (13.5 end of october) you moron. Sony supposedly added 4 million consoles in December only for that 1 month everyones numbers on here were entirely inaccurate but you guys are too dumb to notice when wrong.
