>"In the case of things like Scalebound or Crackdown or Quantum Break, you know, just to be completely honest with you, we started those games before we really looked at expanding into Windows in the way that I wanted to bring as part of becoming head of Xbox.

They had a path that they were on. It’s not to say those games could never come to Windows, but right now we’re on the path to finish the great games that they’ve started, and I want that to be the case. These games are on a path, whereas with, like, Halo Wars 2 I had the opportunity from the beginning, when we’re sitting down with the studio, to say, ‘Here’s the target. Here’s what we wanna go do.’

He also said the reason why Xbox One doesn't get more high profile exclusives is because it isn't selling well enough.

ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR PC BROS
How far along does a game need to be in development for them to pay one of the porting companies to start working on the Windows version?
Phil giving me more reasons to never buy an Xbone, thanks Phil!
>How you want your Xbox division f'am?
>>323430915
This.
It's a neverending cycle.
They always say "alright we will focus on pc gaming dont worry" then nothing happens. They do the odd release 6-12 months after the og console release and with 0 hype and thats that. No halo or forza which is obviously the main pull for the xbox. Then some time passes and they come out saying "ok now we REALLY want to focus on PC" and just repeat the same shit.
Phil is just another bullshitter. These games most likely already have dev builds capable of running on PC's. But even at worse it wouldn't take more than a couple of months, yet he pretends its like developing a new version of those games from scratch.
>>323431097
>No halo
ah shut the fuck up, you have Halo 3 on PC and it's already dead
Whats your point? Xbox executive makes the decision to keep games exclusive to their platform in attempt to boost sales. Will later port said games in an attempt to recoup fiscal losses as a result of keeping it exclusive to a platform everybody hates.
Good luck with their windows 10 exclusives too. Those games are too shitty for anyone to actually care.
>Windows 10 only
>Windows store only
Yeah MS is pulling another GFWL
>>323430845
So Microshit is trying to get into a position where it tells people that make game for windows to also make them for xbone to try and boost xbone numbers.

>>323431412
>fuck getting Windows 10
Why do some of you stubborn kiddies still think this way?
I'm still on it since the preview version and it's definitely the faster, more optimized, better suited OS. Some crying about m-muh spying big brother isn't going to change a thing (and it happens just as much on the other OSes). I couldn't care less if Bill wants to look at my fetishes.
>>323431412
I care more about being Windows Store exclusive than Windows 10. I'll never use a Microsoft account on this shit.
>>323431412
>>323431209
Did you honestly think it's reasonable for them as a company to not make these games W10 exclusive? I mean are you retarded?
>>323431618
I actually care about my privacy and no, my copy of Windows isn't spying on my machine since I disable updates
I use a vpn, until someone makes something that block telemetry, fuck Windows 10
>>323431747
It's a shity idea since forcing people to upgrade to a new shitty OS for a few titles doesn't work as proven in the last by halo 2 vista
>>323431618
You don't care about privacy eh? Do you shit with the door closed? Do you hide your cc numbers?
If you don't care about piracy, post them then
Phil Spencer is pushing for Xbox One to become a Windows 10 device.
It's so fucking obvious, he realizes that they will never catch up to Sony, he also realizes that the old "console definition" is dated and is becoming more and more pointless.
>>323431875
>muh privacy
The OS doesn't send Microsoft more information than what your daily use internet browser does to their owner.
The only people who worry seem to have something to hide, like child porn.
>>323431973
It's not even comparable.
>>323430845
>Microsoft wants to spread windows and they dont care if people buy one windows platform or another
How is that a supprise for anyone? Its pretty obvious that they want windows to be the platform that is most dominant in all sectors.
>>323431875
>>323431973
And with one quick download and one button press, W10 is less spyware than the older OSes combined.
>>323432016
That's not true at all, people who care about privacy do so because they don't want everyone to know anything without their knowledge
Everyone has something to hide and the cc number example is perfect
just fucking bring halo to pc already
>>323432203
What program is this? Also I bet it doesn't block everything
>>323431902
The difference is that W10 is not the trainwreck Vista is
oh microsoft still lying about supporting PC gaming?
I'm sure they'll release one or two games, but not on Steam so they'll be unplayable in a year or two when they abandon them
>>323432203
>all those yellow signs
That also doesn't look reliable at all.
>>323431174
And as he said it received fuck all advertising, I didn't know it had come out until around 4 weeks after launch, also we want unique games not "Shooter 17: More Shooting", also releasing games weeks/months/years after it came out on console is a brilliant way to kill it as.
A) Everyone who couldn't wait bought it on console if they could.
B) Unless there's a constant stream on content the game dies on it's arse.
C) The hype train as slowed to a halt all those fancy ad's mean shit to a game 6 months after launch so many people will be buying other things.
I am convinced this guy single-handedly tarnished xbox rep to such a degree it's still suffering.

It blows my mind how he nearly killed everything Microsoft accomplished with the X360. The 360 was the console to own for most of last gen.

He's not wrong. People who buy consoles mostly play shit like madden, cod, battlefield and other multiplats. The only real exception to this is Nintendo and PC owners.
>>323432203
And then you open limewire to monitor traffic and ta-da! The same amount of data and the same servers are being contacted because you can't block what's embedded in the very code of the OS itself, meaning you'll need an EXTERNAL way of blocking it, such as a dedicated computer to act as a firewall.
>>323433368
This.
I think it's pretty clear by now that microsoft aren't going to do anything with games unless it's getting people to go on their platforms like the Xbone or windows 10/windows store. They haven't given a fuck about anything other than their consoles for the past 10 years, why should they start caring about PC now?
>>323435057
>such as a dedicated computer to act as a firewall.
Or you know, a router/modem. Something literally everyone uses to even be able to be on the internet.
>>323435179
>mfw this is literally what happened last gen with the ps3
>>323435996
Since when? The ps3 was a 599 dollars brand new console that was also a blu ray player that cost 823 dollars to assemble, which is why sony took a nauseating 5 billion loss when the whole gen is considered.
You go and try to find me a standalone blu ray for 599 dollars at the time when the ps3 came out.
>>323434616
Good puts my mind at ease.
>>323435996
PS3 had free online, played used games, did not require an online activation, and you could even install fucking Linux on it. How is that anywhere close to what the Xbone was? Early ps3 was criticized because of the retarded price and apparently hard to work with dev environment.
>>323436151
>>323436467
Holy shit dat defense force
>>323436467

Look, I can't stand Microsoft but that is not and never has been a debate winning argument.

>>323436534
How about you come up with a counter argument to what I said instead of trying to save face by sidestepping?
>>323436660
He's mentioning it to reassure how open the platform was, contrary to how the xbone tried to shackle its userbase, you mongoloid.

>>323436712
So sony doing the only thing that microsoft does, which is pleasing dudebros, while also pleasing everyone else, including weeabos, suddenly doesn't make the MUH HALO box not be a dudebro one? That's why the bone doesn't sell anywhere but in murika, amirite?
Such variety, such as halo, forza... gears of war and... uh... halo and.... forza? Uh.... then there's Halo and.... Halo Collection?.... hmm... oh and forza and.... uh... halo 5?
>>323431747
Keep the exclusivity mindset to consoles, segregating a playerbase is fucking retarded. There's literally no reason it should be windows 10 exclusive. I really want to play KI on PC but I'm not upgrading to Windows 10 for it. Same with Gears of War; I would really like to play through it again on PC, but I'm not going to upgrade for it. And unfortunately for the dumbfucks over at Microsoft, SFV is coming out a month before KI AND there's no silly ass exclusivity surrounding it so KI is probably dead in the fucking water.
>>323437305
You couldn't even do anything on a hardware manipulation level with it anyways. Its neither a plus nor a minus.
>>323437434
You cared enough to reply twice. You're just saving face because you find yourself without a counter-argument.
Stay assblasted, microcuck.
>>323437535
It's still a point, among all the other points, that reassures how much more open it was than the spybox, which is precisely the point he was trying to use to refute the retardation of the other guy who implied some kind of similarity between the bone and the ps3.
Are you retarded or is simple logic just that much out of your reach by any chance?

Guys he is basically saying the he felt it was stupid to ask those teams to just make what would end up being last minute shitty ports to PC, he wants windows to have games built from the ground up for windows, that's a good thing.
I still think they should get rid of the xbox and focus completely on PC gaming pushing the boundaries of game development to reaches the ps4 can't possibly compete with, Sony doesn't have any computer to fall back to, Microsoft is surely keeping windows gaming as a back up in case xbox bombs, and it is damn well on it's way to do so, them hiding sales numbers for the first time in a decade is a sign of that, I'm just tired of waiting, I'm sitting here playing Halo: The silent Cartographer and sighing at what amazing things we could build with the more recent Halo games modded.

Hello there ISIS

i don't want to upgrade past Windows 8 because that OS already functions perfectly fine. As did 7 (eventually) and XP. The only reason people finally moved to 7/8 was because MS officially stopped supporting XP, or everyone would still be using XP, cuz there was nothing fuckin wrong with it
This constant obsession with upgrading seems stupid to me, if it does all the shit you need it to do while shitposting and playing vidya then why ever upgrade? maybe it shaves a couple seconds off your boot-up time or a program opens 2 seconds faster?
