Considering the recent comments from Sony’s side, I would say reflects poor leadership to a degree.
GT7's a service game, that's absolutely the first sort of thing they should be porting.
That and mlb should've been ported long time ago

Does Genshin Impact not compare?

Also I'm not seeing how Europe is particularly different in terms of big games eating up all the play time aside from adding EAFC to the mix lol
Oh yeah, for sure. Starfield Special Edition.
Especially mlb cause it’s already multiplat on consoles.

Sports games are extremely bad on PC if they're ported to PC in general and I'm not sure why.
NBA 2K and Madden refuse to port the PS5 versions of their games to PC and are still porting the PS4 versions over.

Phil Spencer says not every Xbox game will come to PC
After the discussion in recent days about Windows 10 and Xbox being a single platform, as well as the announcement that Quantum Break would be coming to PC at the same time as the previously exclusive Xbox One, we weren't exactly sure what that meant. Were we coming to a point where Xbox discs would

its an easy statement to say considering what happened on pc
they are just conditioning their market for less backlash
Judging by the amount of reviews, it sold roughly 2m on Steam alone. That's why I said "several".Where are you getting that several million? This is the last sales report on Hellblade:
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Has Sold 1 Million Copies - IGN
Developer Ninja Theory, who was recently acquired by Microsoft, made the announcement on Twitter.www.ign.com
Do you mean this:
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Tops 6.3 Million Players
Publisher Microsoft and developer Ninja Theory yesterday released Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice for Xbox Series X|S as a free upgrade [...]www.vgchartz.com
Because this is players, not units sold.
I stuck with Xbox throughout the Xbox One generation assuming they would turn a corner at some point and it never happened. They started losing me when they shifted to Game Pass and it’s gotten progressively worse since then. It’s clear to me now they will never truly turn things around. They are just making moves to slow down their inevitable decline. What a shame.
mat is based in the usa. hope that helps.
So basically MS confirmed they wont be leaving hardware for at least another decade (next gen, plus the rest of this goes through that long). Barely confirmed a few possibly already rumored multiplatform games. And didn't really state anything else concrete about multiplatform plans at all. all this despite many/most predicting they announce going third party at this podcast. This was truly about as bad a show if you hoped MS was quitting as could be imagined.
I doubt it sold an additional million like that.
"Console exclusive games will be a smaller and smaller portion of the industry in the coming 5-10 years''
If they believe that it means they are already evaluating to port more (and bigger) Microsoft first-party games on Nintendo and PlayStation.
Nowadays it takes 5-7 years for big games to be produced so if they start around this time the process to shift to a multi-platform strategy it means it will swing in full effect in 5-10 years.
No surprise rumors about Gears, Flight Sim and new Doom under consideration are already flying.
Made me laughs how Spencer was so ready to cite AMD prediction that XBS/PS5 will decline in 2024 even if it is bad showing for the XB hardware cause it justify their multi-platform strategy and cause he is ahappy to throws under the bus PS5 with them.

Podcast was filled with PR bullshit.
I'm confused by this bolded. Can you explain this?
Wasn't he just stating facts? Console sales will be lower this year compared to last year, that's almost guaranteed.
They are setting the expectations for next gen XBOX games being day 1 on other platforms. Nintendo and Playstation doesn't need XBOX console ports as much as other way around because of installbase. Next XBOX will sell less then half of XBS with first party multiplatform games. It will become even harder to justify 3rd party ports with smaller installbase. They are hoping for cloud gaming to get good enough by 2035 to take over consoles.

I was more thinking about new hardware like the next xbox console or something.
People were speculating that Xbox is leaving hardware altogether so of course he mentioned that the new hardware is coming.
But is he wrong though? We literally got PS5 earnings on Wednesday and everything is exactly as he stated...And that's while people still believe that PS5 will reach 100m in sales. I personally don't see that. Would not be surprised that by 2027-2028 we will still have some PS4 games. Considering that people are still playing the huge games like Fortnite, Minecraft, COD etc. on last gen consoles I would not be surprised that even in 2027 people will still play the same games on the same hardware.
Personally it seems like companies were caught off guard in regards of development costs. And also probably nobody expected that people won't migrate in droves from the previous games due to big platform games (that Booty mentioned as competitors to consoles themselves). That did not happen in the past generation for sure. Like Xbox 360 / PS3 were cut off but with Xbox One / PS4 we still get the games and updates after all these years. And now have development times where it takes the whole gen (5-6 years) to deliver one game.

Who knows
Nintendo would rather bail out of videogames business rather than releasing their games on PC.
That said, who knows what the landscape will look like 15 years from now.
It was my personal reaction (amusement, admittedly "smile" would have been a better term than "laugh") on the underlaying message conveyed (at least how I perceived it).
Is it true that Lisa Su (AMD CEO) stated recently that they expect their console revenue to have double digits decline (which is what Spencer referred to)? Yes.
However I immediately thought about why Spencer, unprompted (the whole podcast's presented message was heavily curated within Xbox), felt the need to state it even thought they are still a console manufacturer (and will be for a while) so that wouldn't put a positive spin.
My guess is that the lack of growth (decline) is used as a further validation of his/Xbox thesis that in the not-so-distant future very few (first-party) games will be platform exclusives and if first-party want their games to grow their reach/profit margins they need to accept to publish on every platforms.
The deeper motivation in citing an expecation about AMD-bound consoles, is to suggest without saying it that even the stronger twin (PlayStation) could eventually follow suit.
And frankly in the past it happened that Xbox was a precursor on steps PlayStation would follow years later.
Remember when Xbox started to port Xbox games to PC at first only a few samples but in time with more and more day one releases?
When Xbox started the shift people thought impossible that PlayStation would have done the same (even down the road) and yet in 2024 not only first-party PlayStation games on PC aren't a surprise but we have SIE CEO to strengthen the effort of multi-platforms initiative, like PC.

If you talk about Europe or Asia, it's just different games.
And for Europe it's just also Fifa/ EA Sports FC, li
Yes. Some games won't get ported for whatever reason. And the same will happen at Microsoft even if most games will go complete multiplat at some point.
Didn't Ryan actually said something like "whole slate of 1st party games" are coming to PC few years ago, yet Sony still didn’t ported them all to PC, even games which are 4-5 years old?
two hours before Microsoft's Xbox announcement yesterday, Xbox chief Phil Spencer sent an internal memo to employees. In it he details a vision of "Xbox everywhere" and “a future where every screen is an Xbox." Read the full memo, below
Except mobile that one can’t be a screen for Xbox
2024 is too soon to announce a next gen, so I believe Sarah Bond is talking about hardware related to current gen.
There's some reports that Series X refresh was cancelled, but maybe not.
