After E3 2017, I crapped all over Xbox. As of now, more excited for gaming on Xbox since the 360 launch. Believe we’ll finally see Phil’s version of Xbox come to fruition.
Told you all last year that when Spencer got his promotion, Microsoft was putting more money into gaming than ever before. That was the time Microsoft was going to decide to either spin off gaming or go all in. Having Spencer report directly to Nadella was “all in”. When you factor studio size growth combined with studios purchased, the number of Xbox developers is 3 to 4 times greater than what it was before E3 last year.
Answering Val’s argument...Microsoft, a data driven company decided putting games on PC has hurt them so much....they’re quadrupling down on PC.
They are building a Age of Empires studio internally now. Puts them at 14...doesn’t include that there’s multiple teams at Playground, Rare, Obsidian, InXile and Ninja Theory.
Satya Nadella is the one who said they’ll aim for a AAA game a quarter. That’s the head of one of the top 2 companies in the world who’s taken Microsoft from a stagnant company to a growth stock talking to investors. Quite different situation than the empty promises to gamers when Xbox was buried under Terry Myerson.
People underrating the value of Game Pass to drive the platform and mindshare of new and old IPs. Old plastic wars are over. Enjoy glimpse of reimagined Xbox on Sunday. I’m hyped.
