Again you haven't brought ANY facts to the table. Everything you bring up in your useless paragraphs is again pure speculation on your part. Your examples of Xbox sharing games is absolutely trash. Hellblade 2, Oterworlds 2 going exclusive for example and all of Bethesda IPs being exclusive far outweigh the 2 or 3 games that Xbox have released on other platforms.
It's pretty easy to see that Bethesda games are no longer coming to other platforms. If you believ...
"Why would Xbox release their single player IP on rival consoles....That makes no sense as it doesn't attract players"
The point is that it's anti-consumer to lock out previously Multiplatform games to the Xbox ecosystem. The idea that they wouldn't again is absolutely idiotic. They are offering timed concessions. So they made Bethesda games far LESS assessible. Yet here you're like oh they make COD (a single game more accessible?!)
Just calling it as it. Tumble weeds for much of the last gen and 2 years of this gen. 360 was outside of RROD had an incredible library of games. Definitely the best Xbox library by far and it's not even close. Gears 1-3 Definitely the best in the series. 4 and 5 not so much though.
General quality of Xbox franchises have really sliding down. Still have my 360 and Xbox One too. Just not cool with the bar being dropped so low when Xbox after 20+ years just flound...
Can you absolutely without a doubt say that Xbox/MS will keep releasing games on rival consoles if the sale goes through? Because their actions with Bethesda suggest they do NOT care.
They will only go for the term they suggest then will pull everything once that 10 year contract is up. You can bet on it. They only need enough gamers on Gamepass to pull the plug.
By your dumb logic if MS is so worried about consumers then wtf are they doing cutting off 270 million customers from Bethesda games then?! Lol. If you trust MS/Xbox after that then sorry you're absolutely 💯 an idiot.
The whole blocking customers and hurting consumers with Bethesda handling absolutely counters your point completely. Stop thinking so superficially. None of this benefits consumers in the long run. But yeah go ahead and explain how Microsoft...
Well all things considered the system did turn to more horror of a different kind after that
Weird. I'm hoping you and Pete are wrong or right (?) and this is more epic than NMS (which is fine). Because if this turns out more like Skyrim I'm going to buy a Series X to play this instead of playing on my old gaming PC.
The background footage seemed very smooth so hopefully we'll be jetpacking and blasting things out of the sky. Because I'm also not interested in mining and doing fetch quest (except for the minimum required).
Game of the generation? That's one ship that's going to crash and burn. One of the better games of the generation? Possibly. The best? Highly doubtful.

"I agree, but this also plays into Microsoft's hands, as people that only own a series S may well upgrade to a series X out of frustration at some point. What they have to hope is that people don't finally realise enough is enough and ditch xbox altogether."
I agree. But if I had an Series S and looking at the Price of the Series X and the PS5 being similarly priced. I would honestly just keep my Series S and just buy a PS5. Be...
Wow. That's mind blowing that in 3 weeks this has probably outsold Elden Ring. If it does end up selling 50 million I would not be surprised.
"I remember there was a PS5 in Mexico once last year, because a helpful N4G regular posted the link in all the comment sections in case someone was looking for one."
Wow! Just amazing! Pretty sure some links mixed in had like some prince from some country really came through and shipments for PS5s magically came through too. Just an amazing person all round just posting all those links to help everyone get PS5s!
But I guess they're easy t...
😆 🤣
Please remove the word Observer and change it to blind. Spiderman 2 ALONE will wipe the floor with EVERY Xbox 1st party game this year and it will not be close.
Really?! For the millionth time FF at least has games coming to Xbox can you say the same about Bethesda games? No.
Not seeing a single complaint about Bethesda games being locked out now are you? Damn hypocrite.
According to some these numbers are just a fluke because PS5 has been available everywhere since last year though. Lol
https://amzn.eu/d/jlcugkb it did come to Xbox though. So weird the physical sales are not present in any way
Nope I was told they're not connected at all. So you can definitely just jump in and play this one immediately
"They've been making the same two IPs since"
Same guy who never criticizes Xbox for Halo, Forza, Forza Horizon, Gears studios for only ever having worked a single IP EVER. Hypocrite much?
Naughty Dog at least is working on a new IP and will average 1 new IP each generation. Which Xbox studios even make 1 new IP each gen?
