Current Events > Why do Microsoft even bother?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Two years into the next generation of consoles and they havent had one good exclusive and have nothing on the horizon to announce.

It seem their plan is to just buy all of the publishers and starve Sony out.

Considering their PC releases require Windows 10, why do they care about one market?

Seems like they're doing fine with Gamepass.

Idk

Bother... what? What exactly are you referring to? Your topic is pretty ambiguous... at least to me.

Uh, Starfield?

And Redfall

Starfield, Redfall and Forza are all supposed to be within the first half of next year.

Beats me why they showed literally nothing outside of a Samsung TV at the Game Awards regardless. Especially after such a slack year from their first party.

Microsoft as of right now has 23 dedicated game development studios.

Embracer has acquired 130 yet haven't produced a single game.

A pregnant woman needs 9 months to deliver her baby. Having 9 women doesn't mean you can do it in 1 month instead.

they dont want to appear strong while the merger is being investigated

And Redfall, Elder Scrolls 6, Fable, Forza Motorsport

I wouldn't say TESVI is "on the horizon."

i'm not into console wars but if you use a console then gamepass is much better than anything i've ever seen sony offer.

Even if you don't use a console game pass is still better.

It's a Bethesda game.

Chances are you already know if you think it's good or not.

It's pretty much guaranteed to be complete garbage but have mods that fix everything and make it amazing.

I'm not sure it's for this gen.

Eventually I think stuff like elder scroll scrolls will be pc and xbox only

They might hand some scraps to Nintendo as friends. But Sony will be fucked. And if the new big deal goes through, eventually you might have World of Warcraft on gamepass. Which will be huge for microsoft

It's for this gen. They even said it was.

It won't release until at least three years after Starfield. Probably even five or more.

Though this gen is "sluggish," to put it mildly.

My point still stands

Microsoft literally earns back and then some for all their productions on the sports games and yearly shooters alone. Halo also sells a shitton which helps.
