Is there even any market that has growth in Xbox? It's more like a race which region is losing the least. Regardless, very desperate comment. And doesn't look good when they actually have expressed desire to buy Nintendo in the past. Why is that necessary, when Nintendo is already Xbox?

[Lunarorbit]

I hate this guy. Shove your “we all play” up yours

I thought Jim Ryan wasn't a great choice at first but at least he didn't stick his foot in his mouth constantly. The last few months of phil have been insufferable.

Whoever is prepping him with this corpo bullshit needs a rewrite. Just cause you bought call of duty doesn't mean we're all Xbox players.

Its so weird seeing MS say things like this about Japan, when they barely exist there.

If some ppl think PS5 software in Japan is a disaster....what the hell does that say about Xbox?

I was just taking the piss on all consoles are now Xbox.

My favourite portable machine is either the Xbox Vita or the Xbox Switch.

It's the one region with like 200% growth, of course they have to celebrate it as much as they can. No, it doesn't matter that they only sell 50 consoles, it's still 200%. And there is no need to track software sales for xbox, gamepass gamepass gamepass.

Jim wasn't constantly bullshitting and flipflopping in the media with all kinds of things. While Jim wasn't really a PR face, he clearly delivered all these years. He didn't lie to his fans, something Phil Spencer does constantly. He is constantly on the hopium and their fans(boys) also.

One moment, PlayStation is their competition. The other moment they pretend PlayStation doesn't even exist. It's just which way the wind blows for them.

Yeah Jim was at least honest crappy businessman. Phil is just full of shit

すみません、何でフーキ

 

[Goalus]

ふーこ

This looks wrong.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

I just came off feeling a little dirty reading some of that OP and of this thread.

I am calling this the Phil effect going forward.

Now Phil has resorted to name-dropping.

 

[Closer]

This looks wrong.

It is. LOL

 

[Darkkahn]

We're Xbox people now!

 

[Goalus]

I just came off feeling a little dirty reading some of that OP and of this thread.

It surely reads like a gathering of professionally offended individuals. Not so much different from a JK Rowling thread on resetera. Same vibes.

 

[lh032]

how long before ms starts adding ps and switch users as engagement for their own numbers?

 

[Withnail]

He’s a megalomaniac.

 

[phaedrus]

Can we just stop with these threads?

"Phil says" is about as played out as Chumbawumba.

At least Chumbawamba used to be relevant to gaming:


Can the same ever be said of Snake Oil Spenser.

 

[IDKFA]

it's necessary to consider the numerous Nintendo Switch and PlayStation users as part of the Xbox community going forward.

Interesting. Microsoft have already confirmed that no Activision game will be exclusive to Xbox. Maybe this means more future first party titles will start showing up on PlayStation and Nintendo's future console?

 

[Brucey]

Imagine being a Microsoft executive and attempting to claim that a Linux device is one of your own.

"We here at Microsoft and Xbox have always supported and cherished the Linux operating system"

- Phil Spencer

 

[Red5]

My 2 cents, If Sony and Nintendo allow GamePass or Xbox Store on their platforms then sure, I mean I think that's MS end goal is making XBOX Netflix and having it on every platform, the more exclusives they lock in the more pressure MS and Nintendo will feel.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[GHG]

Phil Spencer's threads on Gaf and JK Rowling ones on Resetera are always must watch with some funny outrages

Well guys, if you genuinely think it's that bad you're free to go and post on resetera instead where you will be protected by the Xbox ambassador mods.

 

[SABRE220]

Ah yes they are part of the same ecosystem yet I pulled games from said ecosystems because Im clearly the good guy here.

 

[Masterri]

All your fanbase are belong to us.

 

[Red5]

Exactly, they're putting pressure on Sony and Nintendo to allow Xbox Store and Gamepass on their platforms.

It is an interesting thing.

Because Minecraft stayed multi platform and I dont think Phil ever said this before.

Gamepass in its current form will never be on PlayStation or Nintendo because that kills their business. Whoa so much pressure.

And the Xbox store? Never in a million years.

 

[Mr Moose]

Huh? How?

 

[Frwrd]

What a bozo.

In case someone tried and failed to see the link like me, it is real. I suppose that direcr access is refused for security reasons? Or the link was for PC and it does not work on mobile?

I don't have a lot more to say that had not already been said. But my phone counted 13 times the word game pass. Did famitsu did it on purpose?

 

[Red5]

PS already lost access to a lot of well-established 3rd party IP's, Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Fallout, etc... etc.. so let's not pretend PS and Sony aren't feeling any heat from MS warchest. We'll see what MS gobbles up next.

Huh? How?

Locking out well established IP's from Playstation and Nintendo, hoping eventually Sony and Nintendo will cave in and allow Xbox or Gamepass on their platforms.

That's bad for Xbox not the other two, because people on the other two buy games.

 

[killatopak]

Wow.

He skipped the buying part.

 

[SkylineRKR]

So what he's saying is that Switch and Playstation will get all Activision and Bethesda IP after all since they're the same community.

 

[Shakka43]

"If you can't beat them, pretend they are part of us"

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This using console warz rhetoric.

 

[Klayzer]

That's bad for Xbox not the other two, because people on the other two buy games.

All it's really doing, is giving other 3rd party devs opportunities to get more sales on PS/Nintendo with their products.

 

[newtypepilot]

Did no one tell Phil that "X" means no in Japan?

 

[Bojanglez]

All this talk of PC growth in Japan just further makes sense why Sony are likely to embrace it more and more.

 

[Red5]

That's bad for Xbox not the other two, because people on the other two buy games.

We'll see, people said the same about Netflix when it started. MS is aiming to be the Netflix of gaming, they're shifting more towards Gamepass subs rather than individual sales.

 

[graywolf323]

It's funny how they just keep up the act even after all those court documents revealed their true colors.

probably because they know that gaming ‘journalists’ won’t call them out on the BS

Can we just stop with these threads?

"Phil says" is about as played out as Chumbawumba.

it’d help if Phil would shut up

 

[gokurho]

Did no one tell Phil that "X" means no in Japan?

Please tell Sony
"X" means Yes in Playstation

 

[Sorcerer]

"Nintendo, Sony and Valve are part of the Xbox community"
Translation: "I will crush and acquire these entities, so sayeth Phil "Sauron" Spencer.

Amazing how Phil pretends to be all inclusive and give out hugs to everybody involved in gaming, while scheming behind the scenes to aquire or destroy them.
Phil certainly has some Jeckyll and Hyde thing going on.

 

[Ozriel]

I hate this guy. Shove your “we all play” up yours

The hero and good guy complex is super annoying yes.

Yeah, you people are unhealthily obsessed with a gaming exec and it’s hilarious.

There’s absolutely nothing in that interview pushing ‘hero’ or ‘good guy’.

 

[SportsFan581]

Probably one of the most out there statements I've seen from him if legit. Only way this one could be remotely salvaged is if that is really referring to CoD.

It is what it is. We just have to deal with these oddball takes every once in a while.
