He knows full well that it will come to PlayStation. He just dances around the question with his wishy washy language because he wants people to by Xbox
He's wishy washy because he can't say anything about the deal right now. It won't be finalized until early next year. When all the games, tech and assets belong to MS. Then he'll say where these games are going. He's already given strong hints where it's going already the writing is all over the wall. Deny till you drop if it makes you feel better
morrowind is consile exclusive, oblivion timed exclusive, skyrim dlc exclusive longe time, now ms buy bethesda you think is release on ps5 lol. elders scrolls and starfield is exclusive console xbox.
I'm not a huge fan of Phil; don't hate the guy either. But, enticing people to buy an Xbox or their games on PC is exactly what a capable "Head of Xbox" should do.
He 'may' know full well it will come to PlayStation, sure, but why on Earth would Phil do anything at this point (or any other) to steer people away from the brand in which he heads?
You're being a little unfair in your criticism, especially given who he is and what he does.
That aside, Microsoft didn't make this 7 something billion dollar purchase to help Sony or to promote PlayStation. You don't like it? Tough. Rally against Phil all you want, but he's doing his job, and time will tell just how well he's done it.
@AngelicIceDiamond why are you so scare of that game end up on ps5? Btw nothing what phils said indicate it won't end up on ps5. Either way it not my lost or any gamers as if we want it we will get it on PC or PS5
@gazoo, because its been confirmed any games planned to release on PlayStation will still be releasing on PlayStation. They're not gonna miss out on sales from the biggest audience fgs.
I think you will be highly disappointed. I don't think Xbox is sharing games with Playstation. But you can enjoy it on PC if you would like. Just like Elder Scrolls VI and the next Doom.
"How wrong you are, you will see Starfield will not be the 2nd coming - like all Bethesda games."
You mean like every AAA game ever that gets announced?
"You're only as good as your last game - and F76 stunk."
Let's hope there's quality control now. I'm sure spending as much money as they did they're gonna expect allot more from bethesda.
"I bet yoi shareholders would rather 100+ million potential customers paying $70, than 60 million or so paying $1 a month."
MS has 70b cash on hand and bought Bethesda with that money and Nadella the CEO played a hand in the acquisition as well. Neither MS or their shareholders are in some kind of rush. The CEO would be whispering in Phil's ear suggesting those games are going elsewhere. But it's the opposite is happening, he's suggesting and suggested it's not. It's on Xbox, 10 to 15$ a month on gamepass plus it's on PC, steam and Xcloud.
More than enough devices and services to make up that money. Arguing with you is like arguing the grass is blue... When it's green and the sky is green.. When it's blue. I have suggestive facts to back up my claim. You have.... Whatever you decide to make up. You wanna bet a game? A full blown AAA I'll happily take a game from you, since you're makin it so easy for me.
"you've made some inaccurate claims - I countered."
So the guy who spent 7.5b to own Bethesda is now an inaccurate claim? Are you serious kid? Once he owns them he has permanent say. I agree it's a discussion but your imagination and wild thinking vs my suggestive proof and links is no match.
Backing out of a bet now I see, don't feel as strong in your stance now? You don't want me to take a game from you I understand, looks like you fought against you're own whatever logic you came up with to save yourself from losing a bet. The smartest thing you've done so far I say.
The didn't "release" Minecraft on everything after they purchased it. They didn't remove it from competing platforms, which would've pissed off millions of players. Big difference. I also think it's fairly likely GaaS games like Minecraft and Fallout 76 will continue to be on litterally everything. I think there is a chance Starfield comes to Playstation, just depends how far along in development it is. If it's 80-90% done, probably. If it's 2 years away, probably not. Microsoft will keep Bethesda titles xcluaive to the Xbox platform and GamePass to drive subscriptions.
I think the audience for those games are already apart of the xbox ecosystem. They won't drive console sales as much as ms would think or like - and by extension shareholders.
Sony should take advantage of the situation, they should create games that will rival doom, the elder scrolls. If I only have a ps5 I won't complain even if they cloned those games.
I’d say the initiative is building quite a talent pool. Xbox needed a lot of studios to compete with the output of PlayStation, and you can’t start 10+ studios all at once.
One minute it’s no games. Next it’s the games are years away. Now it’s you have to start your studios not buy them.
I don’t want to be that guy, but Sony fanboys have a hard time right now.
- The Xbox Series X is more powerful for the same price - Microsoft has 8 more first party studios - GamePass offers by far the best value in the industry
I mean, hardware, Software and Services are all superior, so it automatically becomes a stretch for them.
@dirty I don’t want to be that guy but sooner or later you’ll see game pass on PlayStation and no more Xbox why do you think they took out the Xbox part of the Xbox game pass
Who made Spider-man and Spider-man Milles Morales? A studio Sony bought Who made The Last of Us? A studio Sony bought Who made Uncharted? A studio Sony bought Who made Horizon? A studio Sony bought Who made Killzone? A studio Sony bought Who made infamous? A studio Sony bought Who made Ghosts of Tsushima? A studio Sony bought Who made LittleBigPlanet? A studio Sony bought Who made Dreams? A studio Sony bought Who is making Sackboy's Adventure? A studio Sony bought Who made Bloodborne? A studio contracted by Sony Who made the original Demon's Soul? A studio contracted by Sony Who made Death Stranding? A studio contracted by Sony Who made Until Dawn? A studio contracted by Sony Who made Detroit Become? A studio contracted by Sony etc. etc.
Only God of War and Gran Turismo can truly be claimed as building a studio and IP from the ground up.
All those games were made for playstation and probably wouldn't exist if not for playstation. Demon's Souls and Bloodborne were co-developed by Japan studio.
I've preordered a digital ps5 but I'm wondering... why so many dislikes to a comment of a person who actually liked the video? Since when is this community soo toxic?
This site has been toxic and anti anything positive regarding the Xbox (and to a lesser extent Nintendo) since I joined this site in 2009. It's been this way for over a decade now with no signs of slowing down.
We all know what they are suggesting, and it happens to be true, imho. If, and I stress if, you choose to play on the Xbox ecosystem, you will be in control of when,where, and most importantly, with what device you choose to play on. It's the future of the industry, and also the very reason why Sony is in partnership with MS in regards to cloud gaming services. I've said this before, and I'm sure I'll say it again and get downvoted, but I can see a future where Sony,MS and Nintendo form an alliance against the likes of Google and Amazon, maybe even Apple as well. No, not in the here and now, but eventually.
I mean, I'm a first generation gamer and have a long memory of the Video games industry even before it was a thing. Personally, I would opt for maintaining physical games, dedicated consoles/Pc's the way it is now, but as some single device only devotees will realise over the coming generation -Nothing remains the same for ever. And while that's not always a good thing. Change is inevitable.
good thing for you guys, because in the last generation I was at the center of the gaming experience. Enjoy your turn!
Cross Fire X, Warhammer Dark tide, Psychonauts 2, The Gunked, Halo: Infinite, Exo Mecha, Forza, Bright Memory Infinite (timed), Scorn, (rumored) Starfield in 2021.
Phil also mentioned he can't wait to announced Compulsion Games and The Initiatives new games.
If Starfield ends up releasing next year and if it lives up to the hype, that'll be a major win for Xbox.
Playing on console, pc and mobile.

Hey, don't forget we have Zenimax guys! We don't build studios and talent, we buy it!
Love this ad. Very slick. Gets my hyped
