Xbox's Bold Risk Is FINALLY Paying Off...? | Defining Duke, Episode 213

After a strong financial performance in December 2024 and a non-disastrous Phil Spencer interview, gamers are seemingly starting to bite on Xbox's vision a bit. After managing to fund games like Kunitsu-Gami, Ninja Gaiden 4, and reportedly picking up the phone to talk about Ori 3, Xbox appears to be driving all of their capital into making the unlikely games actually exist. If Xbox's future as a third party publisher is looking like this, it means that excellent games are enroute and that is a win for everyone. Do the Dukes agree?! Perhaps. You're going to have to listen to find out, obviously. Nerd.

The Dragon Age situation was so insane. Matty you were spot on in your review. But nobody expected the entire gaming industry to gaslight everyone into thinking this game is "A return to form! 10/10" and that its selling great. I guess its time to start making what the fans want again...

Gotta break it to u fellas. PlayStation is going to go away from PC. Remember I told you this. Just look at what PC players are doing. Spider-Man 2 has over 300,000 illegal downloads just off one torrent. Sony chill be just fine selling to its own user base with the alley oop assist from having Microsoft’s 1st party games. That’s a 30% cut just by allowing the games to be sold. Only on PlayStation is coming back.

First party games are games published by Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo. There is no second party. It's a made up term. Phil, Shuhei and Reggie or Iwata (forgot who) have said this numerous times over the years. The reason why is because they're funding and publishing the game. Doesn't matter if they don't own the studio because if it wasn't for the hardware manufacturer, the game wouldn't exist. Gaming is first and third party. There is no second party. So many people believe this exists when even going back to the SNES days, it didn't exist. Why people want to make up a term that companies for decades have said doesn't exist is beyond me.

This feels like cherry picking to say because of one game they aren't going to sell anymore on PC. I mean would you be saying that after the release of helldivers 2 or the PC release of Ghost of Tsushima? They have overall had good numbers coming from PC on most of their games, I don't think 1 game will be their immediate discourage for all PC operations.

If Sony was going to get away from PC, why would they remove the PSN requirement from certain games which will eventually be all of their games? Sony will be day one on PC before PlayStation 6 launches. I don't know why PlayStation fans refuse to see what's right in front of them and is being told as much by Sony.

So we’ll see. Companies pivot. Phil Spencer said they were buying publishers to bring exclusive games to Xbox & look how that turned out. Like I said. With PlayStations new leadership dynamic, you’ll begin to see their focus revert back to the console only. They may still continue to ship games on PC with a 2 year window but day & date with single player games will not happen in this generation. If at all.
