lots of debate around whether Microsoft will make Bethesda games exclusive in the future. Of course they will. Not every single one, but exclusive content is exactly what Disney, Netflix, and others rely on to attract subscribers. Xbox Game Pass will be the same.

True, even for the games from Bethesda that go multi platform will be best developed & have exclusive content for the Series S/X.

Im talking about from video games perspective but clearly pony inside you got triggered hard and took my post wrong way. MS is bigger than Disney and got more money than Disney. If they continue to acquire more studios on scale of Bethesda. They can very well become Disney of video games industry by buying Ips and studios lol

 

 

You didn't get my point. 

 

Microsoft is bigger than Disney but microsoft gaming division is not. If u think Nadella will spent more than Disney worth on gaming division with current MS situation then u r the fool. That's not how a trillion dollar organization operates.

Disney spent $4B on an entire fking Star Wars. Nadella wishes he had that kind of bargaining power.

Again im talking about from video game perspective.. I never said all the dumb sh*t you saying that MS will spend more than Disney worth in market lol.

 

Disney now bigger than everyone in entertainment industry by acquiring stuff, they own Marvel, Star Wars nd more. MS already poised to become one of the largest publishers of games with over 23 gaming studios. 

 

If they acquire more on scale of Bethesda (which they will, confirmed by Satya), then they can very well become Disney of video games based on amount of acquisition and Ips they will own.  Just imagine if they end up buying another publisher size of Bethesda oof. Its done deal then lol.

I did get your point. But understand that Disney isn't Disney because of acquisitions. They have build dozens of IPs over the course of a literal century. They're at a point where they can put anything out and it'll make a billion dollars. If you think buying companies is the path to creating an entertainment powerhouse you are mistaken. 

Also, MS May have money but money has a cost. It needs to make money back. They can't just spend will nilly on whatever the f**k. 

There is already a Disney of video games. It's called Nintendo. Carved an identity for its IPs where they're associated with top notch video games and insane brand recognition. 

Both Disney and Nintendo took decades of consistently putting out quality content to be where they are. 

Nintendo IPs popular but Xbox is bigger then Nintendo in terms of studios and IPs they own. Now will MS keep quality as high as Disney and Nintendo,  i don't know. We have to wait and see.

 

I was talking in terms of quantity not quality. Quality we have to see when games are out.

MS also bought Nokia, one of the biggest Mobile phone producers in the world, and then ran it to the ground. So yeah....

We have to wait and see before saying all that for new Xbox studios. 

 

If they do that, then MS will go back to what they were lol

You mean another $7.5b going down in an overkill deal to save the Xbox brand(as per Xbots,I personally feel it’s for future streaming competition only) 

 

wow a total 15b$ down to satisfy the ego muscle of Xbots  

 

great history Xbox brand will create in terms of net balance sheet  

They bought LinkedIn for 26b. So you never know what MS can do.lol

 

 

After they spend 7b on Xbox, im now convinced Xbox is core part of MS. If anyone think otherwise then you dumb.

If next Batman and HP games don't make enough money for AT& T, they will have to consider putting WB games on sale again.  You know what that means.

I am hopeful they will atleast put out 23 games through the 23 studios over the entire gen. If these are AAA SP games, that's a win for xbox owners.

I think you can only comment on quality once the game release .. so people who are talking that they will turn out bad or awesome. Don’t know sh*t . As does nobody . 
 

what this means is that Microsoft is committed to Xbox and game pass/xcloud and that more games will be available to game pass at launch ..

and it’s gonna be be a more competitive generation.

Marvel IPs when they acquired was worth nothing. They turned it into the behemoth that it is now. Star Wars and Fox are major acquisitions but even without them Disney and Pixar IPs stand on their own. 

Not all are complete success .. there is a pretty big backlash against Star Wars ..and  new Star Wars have performed poorly at box office as per expectations

MS acquired IPs already worth billion already. ES and Fallout. 

 

Now, again i never said MS is Disney in terms of quality of content. I was talking about based on sheer amount of IPs they acquired and studios they own working on future games. 

 

Now, will MS make these IPs even better or run them into ground and go back to what they were? I don't know. Time will tell.

The thing is, Disney has a well curated and established way of increasing the value of IPs it acquire or take over, but Microsoft Gaming division doesn't. With it's history, they will probably run half of those studios to ground within this gen.

Zodka is not a troll. Trolls know they are just trolling  This is cult like faith.

Dude I’ve got to hand it to you. The relentless, blind Microsoft support you have and your persistence to engage every troll is admirable.

Well, he’s got a lot of experience doing that for the past 13 years 

PS: I meant being a troll, not taking on trolls

Disney's content is available everywhere through their app. So, if Xbox is not on playstation, and using this analogy equates to Disney not being on Windows or Android. Not the same thing.
