It might be something to do with the reason MS got into console gaming in the first place, and that was to stop Sony controlling the living room, and as a way of getting Windows in there instead.

From the article 'He also says that Rare is on thin ice - Sea of Thieves has to perform well. “I wish the best for them but it certainly won’t be pretty if it underperforms. The studio is basically being built around service driven games now and from what I’m told the project is costing Microsoft a lot.”
Really? What is the story behind that?
I don't think it is, but I could be wrong. There are risks with both models for sure.
Taking this with a grain of salt, but with Scorpio releasing this year, shouldn't Xbox be planning some games for it, and the Xbox One & S into 2018 and beyond? If the insider is right about the situation with Sea of Thieves, Xbox gamers may need to buy at least 2 copies each, or Rare might find themselves walking the plank.
Doesn't Xbox also have a bunch of smaller titles incoming? And didn't Phil Spencer say they have other unannounced titles in the works as well?
Off topic, but not great news about Guerrilla Cambridge being shut down.
Would really like to know what SuckerPunch has been doing. It seems unusual for the studio to not even show up at any of the major events last year, no teasers, nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
I don't know anything about Japanese culture, but why does she still refer to him as 'Sensei' outside of her lessons?
Nice trailer. Aloy seems to take good care of her teeth. I'm hoping to see more gameplay.
Lewd.
That sucks. I hope the employees can find work soon.
Also, why hasn't Sony revived the MediEvil franchise? I'm sure a lot of PS fans would like to see a reboot. If Crash does well, then I hope Sony will look at this one as well.
As the game director, it was appropriate that he comment on what had happened. But where did the rumour regarding his sick leave come from? The studio is likely under an NDA so we probably won't find out the details that lead to the cancellation.
The hype was from the usual Xbox cheerleaders (especially here), who see any game on Xbox One up there with the second coming of Jebus. The game had meh written all over it, but MS obviously needed it to show everyone they can bring out more than just Halo, Gears, and Forza, and they needed something to appeal to Asian gamers, Beats headphone wearers, dragon lovers, and dubstep fans.
I'm sure Crackdown 3 will eventually be released, though I believe the cloud based destruction physics will be severely toned down from what was originally promised, and likely not mentioned much at all.
Delays and no shows are not a good sign that development is going smoothly. MS would be showing this off at every opportunity if the game was progressing well.
Hmmm. I wonder?
His backside?
Mass Effect did have some issues with combat and elevators, but many gamers enjoyed the RPG elements. Improvements are welcome, but what Bioware/EA has done is strip away much of what fans of the original game were drawn to.
I disagree with the author in regards to games needing to evolve. It is important to make improvements where they are needed, such as improving the combat as seen in ME2 & 3, but when the developer changes the lore, and botches the ending, then I don't s...
Damn. I feel bad for the people who bought this 'collectors edition'.
It's not about being number 1, it's about how many zombies are 'killed', bullets fired, or how many left turns were made. /s
