After the rumors relating to the concrete possibility that Xbox will become multiplatform, the community's reactions were very bitter.
Xbox it is destined to become multiplatform? After the rumors of the last few hours, the community has expressed its opinion very bitter reactions regarding Microsoft's possible decision to bring its current first party exclusives to other platforms.
The leaks relating to Starfield and Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle that appeared during the night, which are added to the already consolidated rumors regarding Hi-Fi RUSH and Sea of Thieves, seem in fact to have had a big impact on Xbox usersat all levels.
Content creator Parris, a figure very close to the Microsoft platform, wrote that after these rumors spread Xbox executives should reveal themselvesexplain what is happening and also prepare for further insights since people will need a lot of clarification.
The journalist Jez Corden, who has also always been close to Xbox, ironically recalled the words spoken some time ago by Satya Nadella on competing, placing a question of trust on the part of users towards the platform.
Equally ironically, Corden imagined that from now on Series X and S owners they will act as beta testers for PlayStation playersthen analyzed the issue by saying that this choice will produce the following consequences in order:
- Alienate users, raising concerns about the future of Xbox consoles and purchased games.
- Creating a meme that Xbox doesn't have exclusive games, alienating the bulk of the audience.
- Xbox executives will find themselves confused as to why everyone thinks this is a bad idea.
- And they will turn around when it is too late.
The end of Xbox consoles?
According to journalist Mike Minotti, “if all Xbox games will also be released on PlayStation this will lead to the end of the production of Xbox consoles. I understand that for some people this is not very relevant and the idea is to bring more titles to more platforms, but then Sony will have less competition.”
“I think I'm on the side of those who think it's not a great idea. Xbox can afford to compete and shouldI really don't know how much the Xbox consoles could sell if their only attraction was the Game Pass, while on the PlayStation it will be possible to play both Spider-Man and Indiana Jones.”
“It could happen that Xboxes disappear, which there is no longer direct competition for PlayStation. Doesn't it matter anymore? I'm skeptical about it (…) and I understand the frustration of those who chose between two $500 platforms and the one they finally bought is admitting defeat.”
Not everyone thinks the same way
Jeff Grubb, a well-known journalist and leaker as well as a collaborator of the aforementioned Minotti, has a different opinion on the matter: “Xbox has accepted that the console war is over, the only new thing is that he's stopped pretending it hasn't already happened. They need to move on and they better have a major strategy, but I care about the right: their games will continue to work as always.”
As for competition, Grubb believes that Sony won't spread after Microsoft's eventual surrender. “If Xbox disappeared tomorrow, PlayStation would still face strong competition from Nintendo, PC, mobile devices and all entertainment available outside of video games.”
“Microsoft thinks long-term, thinks about what will happen between now and the next ten years, between now and the next twenty years. It doesn't want to keep doing the same thing over and over again, when it's clearly not working.”
