Phil Spencer, director of Xbox, talked about the price of Xbox Scorpio and the affirmation of the analyst, Michael Pachter , who in recent days said that Microsoft will commit suicide if you put the console more than the $ 399 price. Honcho recognized that the device, scheduled to debut in a year, will be more expensive than the Xbox One S because it is a product for high - end consumers, but denied that Microsoft's success depends only on that decision or that product only .
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."
im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal
Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.
Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.
She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.
One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.
disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds
imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
Firaxis veteran Jake Solomon hasn't seen mass layoffs like this in his whole 25-year career.
Alot’s changed in 25 years. We have games with $300 mill budgets, people not interested in games other than Fortnite and Minecraft, the older generation of gamers giving up the hobby or dying off, a period of super bad inflation where the industry decided to hike up prices on games, Gamepass harming game sales, GaaS games being pushed left and right with obnoxious monetization and worse looking/playing (Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight).
The industry is just shite right now. Games ain’t selling, games cost massive amounts, businesses can’t bleed money and this is what happens. Part of it is on them and part of it is on consumers not buying.
So it's gunna cost more than $399?
Good luck with that phil.
I normally don't agree with pachter...but I think he is right on this.
Well the way he kept saying premium title and that it will be priced higher than the xbox s Which is what 299 at the lowest. ..you really think ms will jump from 1TB to 6 for 100 bucks more...with a bluray player new cpu/gpu higher ram...production costs...and the extra to make a profit from? Please bro, read between the lines here. If it costs 399.99 that will be cool for all that you get...but this is ms we are talking about. They released an underpowered console for 100$ more than the more power ps4....you really think they are gunna put more power into the scorpio and not make it cost you? ....here's hoping it's 399.99.....but my question to you is if its 499.99 or 599.99.....wold patcher be wrong? Will people flock to buy it? Would you buy that?
When corporate heads use phrases like " higher-end", or "premium" you immediately know that they are trying to justify why the product they are holding is going to be more expensive than it needs to be.
Spencer, just say the price...Afraid are you?
