Them going with ARM would be a huge mistake, as it would put them at a big disadvantage for third party games... They would be running on a completely different architecture from the PCs many of these games are developed on, and from PlayStation... So developers would have to port every single game to a completely different architecture, which would take time and money to do, and it would cost them games as a result, in addition to performance issues due to developer...
Why wait a week?
1. It's easy... have a bunch of people leak the news via "rumors".
2. Announce you're going to talk about it in a week, without denying it... sending the community into full on meltdown.
3. After everyone has had some time to digest the shock from it all, and people start to calm down, then deliver the news.
"How to play Xbox games on PS5"
https://ibb.co/vYNsX4L
Pay close attention to what they are calling it... "Business Update Event", this isn't a pre-scheduled event, it isn't aimed at revealing new games, it isn't even aimed at gamers... it's an update on the business end of Xbox, aimed at their shareholders, who likely are not happy about how slowly Xbox is expected to recover the nearly 100 billion they spent acquiring these publishers. So, they are updating these shareholders on the future business plans of Xbox, so th...
Keep in mind Phil referred to this as a "Business Update Event", not a "new game showcase" or a "future of Xbox" event... They are updating their entire business model, this event is for their shareholders (who are likely pissed that they are not making money off of this 100 billion dollar investment as they expected), not us gamers.
They don't need to put GamePass on PlayStation, they can still make a fortune licensing their games to PS+ Premium.
Gamepass doesn't have to come to other platforms, they can license their games to appear on PS+ Premium, for instance, and still make money on them that way.
@eon Them being so hesitant to sign contracts for chips for a new Xbox, and Phil saying they may have to reconsider their strategy of remaining in the console business by 2027 are in stark contrast with your "Xbox isn't going anywhere" comments.
If they were smart they'd adopt PsVR2 controllers for vision pro as well.

Yes, they are going third party. This is why they haven't signed contracts for chips for a new Xbox, this is why Phil said they were considering dropping out of consoles at the end of this gen, this is why Phil said that no amount of making good games is going to get them out of third place, this is why Microsoft said we don't need to buy an Xbox, This is why this game, Starfield, and probable Elder Scrolls 6 are coming to PS5... Because they are bringing their games and services, the...
COTM was a launch title, so it being short and light on content is to be expected.
I'm all for AI enhanced games... GTA6 with AI characters you can carry on conversations with using your own voice, for instance, is a cool concept.

L50HT didn't even watch the video he's commenting on... lol. Quit making yourself look foolish and watch why he thinks Xbox hasn't signed a contract yet... you might not like what he has to say.
You obviously didn't watch the video... the leaker even said this could be because MS is considering not making another Xbox.
Did you watch the video? He said they eventually did call AMD back, but that they still had not committed to anything... and then he speculated it was because Xbox might be getting out of the console business entirely.
Xbox got burned pretty good by Nvidia in the past with the royalties they wanted, so chances are if they did anything non-AMD, it would be Intel.
disagree all you want, even the guy leaking the info thought the same thing. The writing is on the wall.
I get a feeling MS is debating whether or not to even release another console.
slash, dodge, slash, dodge, slash, dodge, slash, dodge, die.
I could see maybe Valve trying to make SteamDeck into a console form factor to bring PC gaming into the living room more easily...
