Interesting comments about a native xbox handheld! I wonder if it will be ARM based using the X Elite Plus

8:27 “and you are gonna see more of our games on more platforms”
he’s saying it point blank and people still wanna act like it’s not happening, based on the showcase and what else was said in this interview it seems like everything is going to every platform but “Day One on Game Pass” will be the incentive to buy an Xbox not any actual exclusive games

I think people on this sub should accept that most of Xbox first party will release on PS5 and Switch 2.
It’s understandable since Series sell less than Xbox One did.

Handheld on which you can play games locally was essentially confirmed by Phil. That sounds really exciting but I also wonder what impact (similar to series s) that will have on developers scaling their games to run on it.

I’m guessing it’s games that already have a presence on other platforms. Future Minecraft anythings, Fallouts, ElderScrolls, and Activision stuff. Hell the new Doom is also on PS.

Think we have to accept that in about 3 or 4 years xbox won’t have any exclusive titles.

I’m guessing he didn’t say anything about Activision games coming to gamepass?

“As the CEO I have to make really tough decisions.”
Okay, soooo why didn’t you make the OTHER tough decision? You know… THE ONE SATORU IWATA MADE??

I hate it so much they’re not making the Activision and Bethesda games exclusives.
I really feel like making them exclusives + day one game pass will make them beat PlayStation. Clearly they don’t believe that’s true and they think day one game pass will be sufficient

I love reddit logic.
1 game is coming to PS5 out of 10 games 1st party games for 2024-2025 (not counting the Call of Duties) and everyone is running with “that means every game?”
For the record I do think more are coming, but I don’t think every game.

An Xbox handheld that more powerful than the ROG Ally would be absolutely HYPE for me!

I think i want don mattrick back. At least he knew the importance of exclusives.

Re: handheld Xbox
I don’t know if people realize what a huge advantage Xbox has here if they can basically stuff an exact Series S (with the chip produced on a newer manufacturing process) into a handheld.
If they can basically make it exactly the Series S performance, then guess what? Literally every gen 9 game and very back compat game *already has a handheld version* without developers having to do anything.
And every future Xbox game would just already be on the handheld. All the devs already have to make settings targeting Series S. If that gives them Xbox Go (or whatever they call it) for *free*, it instantly becomes a MASSIVELY attractive handheld for gamers. And it justifies all that “series S is holding back this generation” stuff all the gamers have been crying about since the start.

Okay, the people acting like Xbox is abandoning exclusives are silly.
Xbox is in a position where they can be both an insanely good third-party publisher AND have a console with insanely good exclusives. And they clearly want to do that, judging by Phil’s comments.
It makes sense. Get people hooked on your games via third-party, then reel them in with your exclusives and Gamepass. Hell, it’ll probably transition into them showing off their games everywhere and then reeling in with gamepass. It seems risky but I am intrigued by it.

Phil is a fucking failure of a CEO in so many ways.

Unfortunately a handheld doesn’t have much use to me. Since 95% of the games I purchased from them are Physical. However if it supports Windows, that might be a different story.

I firmly believe that in the future we will see consoles be reduced to apps on smart devices and PC with exclusivity being nothing more than which app has what. We’re already seeing the move away from physical, and the next step will be the move to streaming, which is improving at a rapid rate.
The money saved on research, design and production would be huge, and for consumers the barrier to entry to a platform won’t be restricted by a $500 price tag.
