"If we could count on selling 5,000+ of a title physically on Xbox, we could justify the ports without a digital stake, but we only sell those kinds of numbers on PlayStation and Switch. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Xbox gamers are digital first."
"Bubble Bobble fans have been waiting quite a while for a sequel to Bubble Bobble 4, but the closest thing on the horizon is the upcoming modern port of Parasol Stars. That leaves plenty of opportunity for homage, something we find in a new Steam title called Slam and Roll that is also coming to consoles. In this one, a group of sports loving kids travel the world and bust lots of baddies. Naturally, it supports 2-player local co-op," says Co-Optimus.
New trailer of Phantom Blade Zero, giving a sneak peek to the latest development of the game, featuring never-shown-before footage depicting high-speed combat and multiple weapons, among other game play elements. Announcement of a World Tour Demo.
Very weird why Sony didn't end their State Of Play with this game. SGF was a big misfire but this game shined, day one, hyped can't wait. Still no release date but I'm ok with that it's real and I'll happily wait for this masterpiece.
I didn't think there was any way the combat could look as cool in-game as it did in the reveal trailer. I'm just gonna shut up now. Take all my coins.

xbox has built their fanbase to be only interested in shooters or forza.
im not surprised by that statement at all.
we've seen that happen with aalot of other games aswell, were the fans are just not on xbox, but on playstion and switch.
To be fair on them they did start to do Xbox releases, a very few but it seems like we now know why they never did
They listened to complaints, they tried and it failed.
Finally some honest to God words from a company, clear as day and no PR mumbo jumbo.
Between 50% to 75% of Xbox Series Sales are the digital only Series S. That means the install base of disc playing Xbox’s is at WiiU levels. I don’t know the breakdown of PS5 to PS5 digital but the greater number of PS5s probably makes up for the difference.
Honestly, it's kind of funny because the usual issue with Limited Run or any of those other 'indie publishers' is that they typically produce so few copies that it's extremely hard to get one. So maybe reallocating those Xbox copies to the Switch and PS4/5 would be a good idea.
