The Big Xbox Leak Roundup

I am of the opinion that if Microsoft does continue the 2 sku approach next gen, it needs to be a high end console and a portable that can be docked.
Series S power in a handheld and Series X2 power in a console with the ability to dock the two and instantly and seamlessly transfer your progress from the S to the X2 and vice versa. The difference is that if you don't have the handheld S the X2 dock still acts as its own standalone console.

Sega signed 2 deals and then decided not to release it on PS5 until they could release in Japan.

You don't pay for parity though so Sony basically shot themselves in the foot and paid to make LaD a year long next gen Xbox exclusive.

To be fair Sony refused to share anyways... so god knows what those emails say ;)
 
Spencers full memo on the leaks,


"Today, several documents submitted in the court proceedings related to our proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard were unintentionally disclosed. I know this is disappointing, even if many of the documents are well over a year old and our plans have evolved.

"I also know we all take the confidentiality of our plans and our partners’ information very seriously. This leak obviously is not us living up to that expectation. We will learn from what happened and be better going forward. We all put incredible amounts of passion and energy into our work, and this is never how we want that hard work to be shared with the community. That said, there’s so much more to be excited about, and when we’re ready, we’ll share the real plans with our players.

"In closing, I appreciate all of the work that you pour into Team Xbox to surprise and delight our players. In the days and weeks ahead, let’s stay focused on what we can control: continuing the amazing success of Starfield, the upcoming launch of the incredible and accessible Forza Motorsport, and continuing to build games, services and devices that millions of players can enjoy."

Anyone else find it peculiar that the new games leaked were all Bethesda only games? Should they be in part held accountable as they still run as a separate entity?
 
Still don't see how this casts MS in a negative light. Something like Phil sending an e-mail about acquiring Nintendo is just a damn e-mail. No regulatory board is letting that merger go through anyway (and they wouldn't be doing their jobs if they did).

I can't wait for people to freak out when things change too. The leaks are real, but real plans change. I bet none of this is set in stone.

The Bethesda merger was used in court and the talk of exclusives came up. They didn't care about the other studios MS own so no need to talk about them in the files.

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. 🤦‍♂️
