One could ask how different this approach is to Sony having revealed games being developed by Haven, Firewalk, Deviation, Wolverine etc while releasing games in the near term? It isn't, yet Microsoft that is going to be releasing more games, and more AAA games than they have for a long time each year is going to catch their stride in year 6 or 7 of the generation?Ĭome on man. Or to even recognize that the content pipeline is good enough to sustain itself as some of the above mentioned games are still being developed. Your problem though is that you seem to have an infatuation with the past and what Microsoft got wrong to be able to see what they have got right. If all you focus on is Fable, Perfect Dark, Avowed, State of Decay 3, Everwild, Contraband and miss everything else, then the above opinion becomes viable despite its deviation from reality. Yet we live in a world where some have convinced themselves, somehow that Xbox will not hit its stride until the tail end of the generation. Mattrick's shortsightedness damn near killed the Xbox brand off for good.
THE AVOWED FULL
At the rate they are going, Xbox Game Studios will not be releasing stuff at full bore until the tail end of this console generation. The stuff they showed last year was so early that people from Rare even said they still didn't know what Everwild even was yet. Every year I would have Xbox diehards telling me to wait for E3, they'll drop all the megatons then, and of course every year they would just show a ton of multiplatform stuff and then I would have to wade through thinkpieces telling me Xbox won E3 because their presser was a "fun show", or something to that effect. Yes yes, I know they acquired a metric fuckton of studios that have been hard at work but they launched a new-generation console with absolutely nothing from a first party standpoint, which shows just how bad it got for their dev studio situation. I also said 'soulstone' instead of 'shadestone' in the video so excuse m.
The fact that 7 years in to Spencer's takeover, that they are still basically at a standstill in terms of first party releases, is kind of mindblowing to me. There isn't another method that can compare to this, at least until Honored, period.
