Maybe we're missing something here, but it seems like the forthcoming live TV service that Microsoft announced on Monday at E3 is basically a way to get TV on your TV.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "
Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
No, it's a way of getting TV through your console so you don't have to subscribe to a cable / satellite company.
You can get it all, games, music, movies, sports and now TV shows in one place for one subscription. ( And it's all kinect compatible - all voice controlled - no tv remote needed.)
Makes sense to me.
Know this wont register because its coming from me, but this is just a talking point. It gives MS something to say about the Xbox 360 to the general consumer. Any real benefit it offers is minor and will likely come added requirement. Like having to subscribe to a certain cable or satellite provider.
This is really no different than what they did with Netflix. MS got an exclusive deal for a while, was able to advertise this as exclusive to their console, but in the end lost what momentum and general advantage this gave once Netflix become available on the PS3 and Wii.
@Minartis:
Read the interview: yu have to get the service *through* a cable provider. Likely one given to a specific region, meaning that this service proabbly wont be available in multiple regions at once.
One thing I wonder for what its worth, will this open an opportunity for Sony and the PlayTV add-on for the PS3. Get competing cable services to sign on with them.
And if you want to dump your cable service you could probably do it now. Between Netflix and Hulu Plus, all the other streaming services on PSN and XBL, you can pretty much drop all of the pay channels like Showtime and HBO.
sony slunks alot the playtv box has been around for a while dnt know why they just get in in america and advertise it wtf sony you let microsoft take controller free gaming and make it seem like they are first when you had the tech from ps2 times just needed advancement had the playtv from mabe 2008 now microsoft gonna bring this thing and make it seem like never done before WOW
Im sure it will improve over time and get better and more features.
TV/Moviebox 360 :)
