New data shows Xbox Cloud Gaming’s most played games match console trends—including major hits like Call of Duty.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer suggest Xbox Game Pass is no longer as important to the business as it once was.
Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.
That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.
Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?
They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)
@GhostScholar
Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.
It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.
Former Nintendo PR manager says that the reason their games rarely go on sale is because they value their games and aren't like Ubisoft.
Just throwing shade at Ubisoft like that.
"Nintendo’s audience will buy the game if it wants to, regardless of sales."
Sales? What sales? People buy Nintendo games at full price because they don't go on sale.
That and the fact that their 3rd party support has been near nonexistent, so if you own the system you have basically no choice in what to buy. Especially with the switch it was nintendo first party or indies.
Each company just wants to make the most profit, and Nintendo is such a strong brand that can afford to sell games at full prices withouth sales.
Weaker brands need to go on sale in order to continue selling some units.
That's just how it goes.
Why I don't play Switch games and won't be buying a Switch 2. I tried, but it's just not for me or my wallet.
Nintendo is a game company only.althought I don't like it you can't see where they're coming from.nintendo doesn't have a diverse portfolio.
theres a reason why hes a "former" employee.
woth that kinda mindset, i would have fired him too ha.
What are you talking about? He wasn’t fired. Nintendo wanted to move his show to Seattle and he didn’t want to leave California.
They value their games? Meaning others who have sales don't? How fking rude of this dude. Nintendo are really arrogant
Hopefully they get humbled like with the 3DS launch but I doubt it. There's enough early adopters that are very enthusiastic.
Man this guy talks some crap lol, looks like he is stoned or sniffed up.
bet he has a wii U pre ordered aswell
@ LOGICWINS
I do admit that the commercials could have been a lot better, but this is studdering Craig. He has likely seen things way beyond any commercial, and what he had seen up till now just isn't his style.
Even with those commercials, I don't think Nintendo will have a hard time selling the platform. Word will quickly get around that Mario is not the only game available.
Well that is his opinion and he's entitled to it, I'm not gonna personally attack the man for having an opinion. Not everyone's gonna love the Wii U. Same way not everyone is gonna love the PS3,360 or whatever Microsoft and Sony's next consoles are going to be. But hey I'm still getting a Wii U, same way I'm gonna get a PS4. And hey if Microsoft shows off some great exclusives, maybe I'll get a 720.
The point is even though I plan to get a Wii U, I don't expect everyone to like the console nor will I try to make them like it. Just enjoy what you play folks.
Lol who?!
well he gets my vote, DAMN!
