Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "OFFICIAL XBOX PODCAST - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW"

Starting point is 00:00:03 Now when getting into Xbox, everybody knows that it's no secret. Xbox has been having a lot of alleged claims made when it comes to the future strategy involving putting out their games and especially hardware. As I was at Best Buy, I believe, yeah, I was at Best Buy, you know, looking for. a certain tool to use as far as i think it was like hd it was like hdm i something like that it was like a converter or whatever but anyways i say all that to say i was about to check out and i heard somebody say yeah man i heard that xbox not making no more consoles and not even like i heard they said it like a matter of fact like yeah man i want to get that because you know xbox they're not making any more consoles so once i heard that you know obviously me you know i'm to myself so i was like

Starting point is 00:01:02 dang that's crazy people really thinking what is rumored is true like they're going around thinking it's true so whenever Phil Spencer Matt booty his last name's booty my fault got to be mature and other key figures of Xbox came out to have an entire podcast to touch on hardware updates community growth Xbox game pass business strategies etc etc i thought to myself this is perfect timing because people out here are just straight up lying just fabricating the the the so-called truth right because they look at this and they say Xbox is finished if they're not going to make any more consoles and basically the overall exclusive models going out the window because they're putting all their games on PlayStation or really just all platforms

Starting point is 00:01:59 well except for Nintendo because you already know how to go but Phil Spencer came out to confirm some of the rumors, but obviously not the big ones, which was just flat out lies at this point. They literally said, well, let's just go through it, right? Xbox acknowledged that their initial plan with the market and marquee exclusives is changing a little bit, and they pinpointed the way it would change as four, exclusive games will be ported to rival platforms focusing on smaller scope titles or those benefiting from larger community engagement. So a lot of people saying all the games was coming to PlayStation or just cross platform, but that's not true. Only a select number. And to be more specific, they listed Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and grounded as those titles to be push to the PlayStation platform as well and then they kind of gave some insight

Starting point is 00:03:09 involving around why they're doing this as the strategic marketing strategy being implemented is basically exploring more titles and emphasizing the importance of adapting to gaming habits meaning that loyalty to a particular brand is becoming less significant. In translation, putting games out on one platform inherently is going to lower sales. So they are going to change the traditional concept of exclusivity by having a service-based ecosystem accessible on multiple platforms. And then he went on to say, and this is Phil Spencer, so this is not like no hearsay for the people. over at Analytic Dreams video, you will see the podcast I'm referring to right here.

Starting point is 00:04:05 I mean, it says updates on Xbox business, official Xbox podcast. You can go listen to yourself. I just have it up so you can see what I'm basically concisely breaking down. But it's a longer 22 minute video if you want to watch the entire thing. But in short, Xbox announced that the Xbox game passed with 34 million subscribers will remain exclusive to Xbox consoles. because a lot of people was once again fabricating their so-called truth by saying that it will be on Nintendo Switch. But of course, Phil Spencer came out and said that's not true.

Starting point is 00:04:45 And Xbox GamePas will continue to be available for Xbox gamers and ensuring that inscribers, subscribers will receive new titles without extra costs. So along with that, they also announced the inclusion. of Activision Blizzard on GamePass starting with Diablo 4, which is coming out March 28th, and the rollout for other Activision Blizzard games will follow,

Starting point is 00:05:11 although, of course, it's unclear if they will be one day game pass titles, or first day, game pass titles. So, as far as the multi-platform rumors going around, Xbox did say that they're going to be putting some titles on other platforms, but

Starting point is 00:05:27 basically not all of them, right? And then, as far as the major flagship titles such as Starfield Halo is definitely not coming to Motop platform simply for the fact that Xbox wants to use certain titles for Motown platform but not there are flagships if that makes sense and that put a end to all of the speculations uh speculation from gamers talking about certain exclusives exclusives being ported to non-microsoft systems because that was the biggest deal people was getting upset over these false fabricated you know, facts that people were trying to spew saying that Xbox is now no longer suitable for gamers

Starting point is 00:06:07 because they're not making any more consoles and they're not putting, they're not going to have the exclusives, exclusively on Xbox is going to be on all platforms. So I'm glad that Xbox came out with this podcast, basically putting it into all of that and letting people know that there is a shift, but it's not in the way that everybody was rumoring it to be. So, I mean, the ultimate conclusion for all of the information that was said during a 22-minute video podcast is that Xbox Series X, along with that game pass ultimate, offers a wide selection of games, obviously. But the emphasis lies with a subscription-based model for gaming access, because Xbox is going to continue to evolve its strategy when it comes to the game pass. But with the whole exclusive model not being.

Starting point is 00:06:59 as profitable for certain smaller titles such as the ones I named earlier which is I can find it high-fi rush pentament sea of thieves grounded those type of titles Xbox came out and said they feel like it will have a better community driven driven accessibility being multi-platform but it doesn't mean that all titles are going to be on non-microsoft platforms so obviously is an ever-changing, ever-changing landscape when it comes to the gaming industry. And my personal thoughts on it is Xbox obviously is losing the console war to PS5. But as a gamer, I don't really put too much credence into hardware on the reason I have a PlayStation, which I've said multiple times.

Starting point is 00:07:52 I mean, I've literally had Xbox longer than I had a PlayStation. And the reason I switched over is simply for the fact that Spider-Man is exclusive the to PlayStation. But come to find out, it was like five million, five million sales when Spider-Man 2 came out, but there's like 50 million PS5 owners. So somebody's not buying the game, you know, either, yeah, somebody's not out. Somebody's out here as a PlayStation Sony pony champion their hardware that's not even supporting the major flagship exclusives. So with that being said I think the gaming industry as a whole is realizing that these gamers are really picky when it comes to certain games so that means that putting them out on multiple platforms

Starting point is 00:08:37 will obviously have a positive effect on the bottom line but still keeping that flagship exclusivity which Xbox is doing I would not see PlayStation really trying to implement the same model because they're winning when it comes to the overall console race as far as how many consoles are being sold. I mean, if we really broke it down as far as how many PS5s to Xbox Series X's there are, I mean, it's not even close. Like the race, if I had the estimate, it would be like, it out of 10 people who buy a console, maybe three or four of them will buy Xbox and the rest would buy a PlayStation. Like, that's how large the disparity is when it comes to Xbox Series X in the PS5. But the biggest thing overall is that the Xbox game pass sets up so many

Starting point is 00:09:23 future possibilities for just their ecosystem evolving into a way that you boot up your PC or yeah basically boot up your PC and you can have access to these Microsoft games which isn't the same for PlayStation because of course Microsoft you know has a lot of ports over to the PC platform so when really getting into it it's a lot more that you can break down but the overall sentiment that I'm covering is just the false rumors that Xbox was not making any more consoles and that they was putting all of their Xbox games on other platforms which is just not true so as I said with analytic dreams video on Spotify you can see the video along with the audio so you can watch this whole 22-minute

Starting point is 00:10:17 video if you want to basically I just broke it down and in a more concise fashion just so you know the overall message that they was trying to convey but basically you know with that being say click my link sharing my bio let me know one of my social media's what do you think about the whole Xbox series x versus PlayStation 5 and ultimately do you think the way the Xbox is going with their shift and exclusive game strategy is going to end up being more profitable in the long run or not
