Nintendo could have their own achievement system, they could even use the Mario 1up sound effect as the unlock noise. I doubt they will tho.

According to eXtas1s, Microsoft has either 'paused' or 'slowed down' bringing its games to PS5.

They’ve made it pretty clear they don’t think system-level achievements are a priority. At least until maybe the new system? We’ll see.
I don’t like the idea of game-specific sound effects for achievements, unless it plays a sound effect from the series that you’re playing. That would be cool. But I don’t want to shoot an alien in Metroid Prime 4 and hear a Mario coin grab sound. That sounds awful.

Fucking this dude. Christ, can everyone just fuck off with the console war rumor mill? So boring.

If MS wants to remain relevant in the console space, they need 90+ rated AAA exclusive games, giving people an incentive to buy the console. Just like Sony and Nintendo have successfully done. It's that simple. But now it might be too late even IF they tried to do that. People are building up massive libraries of games, and they are not going to alienate that hardware.
It is what it is. Your choice. You can move on to PC, PS or Nintendo, or you can just ride out Xbox for as long as MS does. I personally am not sold on the direction MS is taking Xbox. I love what they have in their studios, but the incentive isn't there when their games are going to PC, PS and Switch.

You're also believing an Xbox branded rumor mill to say Microsoft doesn't want free money.

eXtas1s as a source? How desperate are you?

I could see this being true but I doubt they would slow down the ports, but holding them back? Yea I can believe that.

There is nothing about the source quality in the related quote, just my mad rumblings.

Difference is Sony doesn't need too as much as Phil does. 70B need to be put back in the coffers.

They still have the 70 billion

It is only worth that much if it is bringing in PlayStation money. it's like, if you have a rental property but suddenly you no longer have tenants. Technically you still own the property, but without the rental income the property is worth MUCH less to you.

Luckily for MS (not you), it doesn’t work that way.

So there’s a rumour stating that another rumour isn’t true? Definitive.

There's no way they wouldn't know hardcore fans wouldn't be pissed at the choice, so I doubt for a second it had any influence on this whatsoever. Nor does it change the need to make up for extra sales on other consoles due to lagging hardware numbers.

For MS, they can tell that Microsoft gaming is not worth 70 billion if they don't sell games to PlayStation. And the worth of Xbox hardware by itself is approaching zero.

Xbox has been going downhill since the second half of the Xbox 360 generation, it’s clearly a leadership issue,

Wait, Indy has been announced for PS5? When did that happen? I thought they were still pretending it's gonna be Xbox/PC only.
Edit: Was announced in August I guess. Weird that I don't remember this! Must be early signs of dementia.

Microsoft makes plenty money don't you worry about that.So Microsoft cares more about not pissing off fanboys like Jez than they do about money

They like making plenty of more money as well
Much more than they care about the feelings of people being upset over Indy coming to PS5

Rumour: Xbox's PS5 Ports Have 'Slowed Down' Following Indiana Jones Announcement
"Halo and Gears are still RED LINES to this day"www.purexbox.com
eXtas1s claims that Microsoft has "paused" or "slowed down" the release of its games on PS5 due to fan reactions to Indy’s simultaneous announcement.

Think MS need one final reset with the new Xbox or just give up completely, the Series S killed any momentum the X had with multiple devs coming out and speaking against it (being honest the machine to me was great when I had to work away for 3 months and I could play latest releases on a portable box for that time so I got what MS was TRYING to do) but like most, everyone has just moved to Playstation.
If they have now seen they need to give the console space one more try, A powerful console (which we know they can do, the X is a great machine and console but not much to really pull you to play on it), and possibly the rumoured portable like Steam Deck device would give it a good start of pulling people into the Xbox eco system.
Think I've seen most people say if MS did a dedicated handheld, they would be more interested in the Xbox ecosystem, just feel MS don't listen to their consumers atall.
We know they are making a new Gears, Halo etc potentially prepping it for this new Xbox console.

It definitely sounds like they are “slowing down and pausing” indeed….

I honestly wonder if moves like this will even matter anymore. I think what we are seeing is just brand damage. No one wants to invest in that ecosystem anymore. If they want to go handheld they'll probably go with the Switch 2. If they want to play locally they'll have a PS. It's going to be hard to reverse any lost momentum now with them releasing their games on all the other platforms.
I honestly don't even think MS is interested in hardware like that anymore. I do think they keep something in the market but they have other priorities.

They already had it, it was called the Series consoles.
They're not going to risk torching a crown jewel franchise like COD or Elder Scrolls just to keep some Twitter warriors happy with them.
Exactly as I predicted... Another rumor manufactured to keep xbox lunatics engaged with this "box" of phill shit
I don't doubt that it was Phill Spencer himself who still makes these rumors, the idiot seems to be the typical imbecile who believes in his own lies, in his own lunatic narrative of "good versus evil" that he spent the last 10 years feeding saying that he It's the "good" one because it offers games on GamePass Day One... That Sony forced him to buy a PS5 with a "forced bundle" of Horizon FW... that Sony wants to grow by reducing the Xbox, poor Xbox... The victim of Sony's demonic oppression.

I believe MS will be more careful about how they announce their PS5 versions in the future. How they did it with Indy was pretty stupid, from a PR perspective. I don't need an unsubstantiated rumor to know they'll tweak their approach based on the backlash. I don't believe they will "pause" anything, though. They'll just make a minor course correction and continue with whatever plan they have.

If it's real, it's only inb4 investors see the charts still going down and be like...
That moment when they ask them 'Why u no money me'
and they answer they're not selling on Xbox, but refuse to sell on PS5, will be followed by 'fire me some meat popsicles' and 'go make me money'.
When you've splurged 70b you expect a return for them or skulls for the Board Throne

Totally different leadership in place back in 2008, I doubt every single member of Xbox leadership in the last 15 years have just all been brazenly incompetent. That’s quite the charge.

It makes money. It just needs to make more to justify Bethesda and ABK acquisitions. It should be printing money.
