theres another analyst saying switch will outsell both ps5 and xbox series s/x this holiday
hollow zinc
this generation isn't going to be "won" in the near future, unlike what happened with PS4-One when XBox had some questionable policies in place (later reversed) and mixed messaging....while also launching at $100 more expensive and being slightly underpowered. so there was a borderline stigma for a while and a lack of exclusives to reverse the narrative. but that was last generation. the future is before us.
so people saying XBox have no exclusives are either willingly misinformed or their first console generation was PS4-One since they don't realize things can change generation to generation.
i expect both XBox Series and PS5 to sell really well at launch. PS5 will probably start out even stronger due to the lingering momentum of PS4. unlike last generation, XBox won't fade due to also having the Series S at borderline impulse-buy territory. plus Game Pass and there is lots of value for typical consumers and gamers of all kind.
then over time as Game Pass continues to grow, XBox exclusives continue to release, the amount of people interacting in XBox's ecosystem from console, to PC, to streaming (mobile too) has potential to surpass PS5's numbers.
the last two generations got close to 170 million each time (roughly 85-85, 120-50). Microsoft's bigger-picture view on this seems to be an attempt to break that 170 ceiling and potentially reach some of the gamers who are in the hundreds of millions outside of that bubble.
gloomy reef
theres another analyst saying switch will outsell both ps5 and xbox series s/x this holiday
@gloomy reef no way lol
switch only sold 62 million
Xbox lacked of exclusives a lot. That's why they lost this generation
silent comet
I don't think any one thing wins or loses a generation... but that was probably the biggest factor for the last 5 years
if it didn't start out so poorly it might not have mattered
the upcoming one, ps5 has a major incumbency effect in its favor and that will be hard to overcome
might have been less so if backcompat was not standard now, then it'd be a restart anyway which might make people more inclined to switch ecosystems
but still, it's better for customers, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it
remote hazel

gloomy reef
PS5 will outsell Series X|S because Xbox games release on PC day one but if Xbox can get North American market again, it will be W for MS.

It's not a big deal at all.
It also frees up system resources for more important things. But it gives the fanboys a new larger number to brag about.

I'd figured the Xbox system UI was UWP which is supposed to scale automatically to any resolution... but there might be some obscure quirks that cause bugs if they just "hit the switch"
if that's the case, then priorities come into it
🤔 although it's probably more technically accurate to say "XAML" since UWP is other things as well, and it's (I assume) shell code, not an app

It's a modified version of Windows 10.

bunch of fanboys who basically spew out the same old dribble of exclusives exclusives exclusives
All I said was that I didn't like how the mic was directly on the ps5 controller even though i said it looks alot more comfy and they went off on me
hollow zinc
you can't really use the point of exclusives being an advantage for Playstation over XBox this upcoming generation. if someone said that for this past generation (One-PS4), i would agree. but not Series and PS5.
solar plover
the series x at launch while I will say doesn't have much exclusives to speak about, the issue is that any exclusives the ps5 will have at launch, it will be on the ps4.
the only reason I am getting the series x at launch cause i have a ton of old xbox game and gamepass
until ratchet and clank comes out on the ps5 there really is no reason for me to get it due to at least for a year or 2 most games will still be cross generational
gloomy reef
Keep in mind the launch window for a console is from day-one to 3-6 months after, so there's going to be plenty of launch titles for both platforms. Sure, it doesn't mean day-one, but at the same time, they're still considered launch titles, just not right the second the consoles are released.
As it stands, XSX has a lot more true exclusives than PS5 does, as the large majority of games shown for the PS5 are timed exclusives.
Not that it really matters since Microsoft isn't even competing with Sony anymore, but still.
hollow zinc
setting aside the numerous exclusives already announced and inferred in the future (e.g. Bethesda), the issue at launch for XBox is that Halo was delayed. granted it was going to be cross-gen, but that was going to be the big AAA game. that would have paired well with other big titles like Cyberpunk, AC, etc.
then XBox would have had lesser scale third-party games releasing as launch window exclusives that would have been very complementary to those "bigger games". secondary games so to speak...these games are not MS studios, but stuff like The Medium (Dec 10), Scorn later....
and i don't know the release dates of these other games but Twelve Minutes, The Ascent, Martha is Dead, Call of the Sea are other games for XBox coming out probably in the "launch window" unless a game or two get pushed back.
solar plover
As far as for me, I am not a guy who buys a consoles for exclusives, I just buy a console based on what the console can do, The series x has the services I want and need, I prefer the UI, and the controller. I generally prefer microsoft games, and even if the 12 teraflops wont do much ,it will still be able to output thirdparty games better than the ps5
also play anywhere, smart delivery, and backwards compatibility
gloomy reef
Very true.
solar plover
The issue i have with fanboys especially playstation fanboys is that they are always banging the same drum, exclusives, exclusives, exclusives. Like if thats the only reason to play a console. The only reason why they keep saying it, is because that's really the only thing they really have
The thing is, if you go to an xbox page, you will have everyone give legitimate reasons why the xbox is superior, why should i get the series x over the ps5 etc etc etc, and vice versa if you go to a playstation page same for pc as well. Its all console bias. Everyone expects a reason to go to the other camp even though its clear that no one will ever convince said person otherwise.
to them exclusives are the only reason to get a game console, while yes it used to be such since a console during the ps3/360 and before was lacking in everything except exclusives at the beginning of hte ps3/360 generation and every generation prior the only reason to get a console is to play games, midway through the ps3/360 generation we began to see more reasons to own a console as more services such as netflix/hulu spotify etc started to show up. once the ps4/xbox one generation rolled in many people not only got the ps4/xbox one to play games but to also watch netflix amazon prime hulu etc
Now a console can basically turn your tv into a smart tv
a game console is no longer just a game console, its a console that can play games, primarily its now a console for media consumption. Gaming is the main focus of course but its not the only componant.
gloomy reef
In this server, people will generally tell you to go either way you feel is the better choice for you, as platform wars and petty bickering and debating on which is better isn't allowed here (not saying you've broken this rule, I'm just saying).
And you're right. With the technology and all the extra utility consoles have nowadays, it's more of an all-in-one media center.
solar plover
I'm not here to say which is better and which is not, for all actuality, everyone buys a piece of technology for different reasons, I just can't stand when someone brings saying oh the xbox series x can't do this or the ps5 can't do this but it can do this even though it's not true
gloomy reef
Yeah, the "official" console wars ended in the 90s. Nowadays there isn't any actual war, it's just a bunch of people who aren't confident enough in their purchase decisions bashing others to make themselves feel better about themselves.
I'm guilty of the same crime, to be quite honest; I do it to Apple. Although, in my case it's not so much purchase justifying, it's more of, "I hate what Apple is doing."
solar plover
console wars today is basically the equivallent of two prebuscent kids/manchildren arguing who would win naruto or luffy
Its called post purchase rationalization
they spend so much on their system, they will defend it even if said the company they bought it from screws up. Happens to microsoft, nintendo, sony, hell even pc
gloomy reef
Very true. I mean, hell, it could happen to something as simple as a framing hammer.
You get people that waffle on about this hammer or that hammer, acting like it's any better than some other hammer just because it's some fancy $50 hammer from Snap-On or something.

For me if a product is really good like really good i go full spokesperson, gamepass was that for me
phil spencer as well
and the one x

I get that. I mean, no matter what someone's preferences are, Game Pass (even moreso Game Pass Ultimate), is objectively the greatest deal in the history of gaming. It's a deal I could have only dreamed of as a kid.
Netflix, but for games. Like, that still blows my mind.
solar plover
alot of ps fanboys don't realize that phil spencer literally saved the xbox brand
yet they claim don mattrick should come back
in my eyes the xbox one didn't fail due to a lack of first party games it failed due to don mattrick's involvement and a lack of vision
gloomy reef
You're not wrong there. Don Mattrick just took the plane and pushed the yoke all the way to the floor.
solar plover
very similar to the issues the ps3 had
The ps3 recovered gracefully, the xbox one however had so many problems it made its lack of first party games, even though it had a better launch lineup, look so much more worse, that and the playstation countermarketing sony made toward microsoft it made everything look oh so much wrose
worse
but hey you can't argue against the playstation triple
solar plover
lol well it was only like one word force of habbit

The Xbox one generation was basically phil spencer doing damage control after damage control, the xbox one x was honestly how the xbox one s was how the xbox one should have started. The Series X/s is what phil's vision is

the way microsoft does exclusives is that they don't do exclusivity contracts like sony does, they will basically outright buy the studios, not just up and coming, but already established studios
its the smart way to do it
And microsoft can basically saywe'll play the long term game
hell they can afford it
Sony can't afford to spend big bucks like microsoft, they need to be know if their investment is worth it, microsoft can be a whole lot riskier
gloomy reef
Definitely true.

Either way I can wait even if a big name exclusive takes 3-4 years after the series x releases, I have xbox one titles and gamepass to play with
gloomy reef
True.

It's not all they are doing. There are three options. Gold only, Game Pass only, both together in one package.
solar plover
its just that they make gamepass ultimate such a good deal you might as well do that

Well sure, if you intend to use both services then you may as well pay for Ultimate. But that doesn't mean that's all they're doing. This is also getting way off topic for the channel, so let's just leave it there.

does anyone know why Fable Anniversary, which is an xbox Game Studios game, is not available in the microsoft store? I'm thinking about getting it in the Steam Sale (the MS store seems to be echoing the same prices there for at least some games) but would love to be able to play it in the future on an xbox series X when and if I'm actually able to buy one (I'm presently a PC gamer).

it was delisted from the store awhile back, so that means the digital version isnt available to play anymore.

"reinventing". the 3:44 long interview linked above gives a little insight into the direction. definitely want to build on some of the qualities of the original, but IMO, the goal with this game is to be a transcendent experience and ultimately a cornerstone of Xbox Studio games. look at the team being put together and you see this is a statement a game. something that was lacking this past gen.
"blockbuster secret agent vision". , "espionage, reconnaissance, tricking people, getting into places unseen", referencing the original: "the gadgets stand out still, some of the wild guns stand out still.", "...making sure that we deliver stories and premises that stand along side our peers in TV and movies."

And Kotaku likely don't care. Nor does IGN who were recently telling people to violate the Netflix ToS.
silent comet
🤔 so journalists are allowed to do that without repercussions? nice.
gloomy reef
Well, it’s not illegal, so I don’t see how they’d get punished for it. At worst they’d have an account terminated or restricted. Violating a company’s TOS doesn’t go farther than that company’s products.
inland nymph
@gloomy reef If you are in the US, its not that clear. The Blizzard vs Glider case ruled that using the game in violation of the TOS meant that you no longer had a license to run the software, and were therefore making a DMCA/CFAA violation. There have been some conflicting rulings (from the 9th circuit), and a case is before SCOTUS right now to decide this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Buren_v._United_States
gloomy reef
That’s a very different case to violating the TOS of a streaming service or game, though. So is the referenced case of United States v. Rodriguez. The law itself might be broad enough that someone could try to make a case based on a TOS violation for end users, but no one has attempted to, and it would be a difficult case unless you could argue that the individual user had caused significant damage to the business of the company in question. The Blizzard case didn’t rule against end users beyond upholding that the end users who had used the bot no longer had license to use the software (I.e. banned).
So, it’s not that there would be no repercussions, but for the end user, having their license to use the software revoked is as significant as it’s likely to be unless someone could make a reasonable argument they’d caused enough damage. In the case of a journalist, it would be far more likely they’d be represented by the entity they write for, and at worst offending end users would lose access to the services, as mentioned before. @inland nymph
inland nymph
They didn't go after the end users. But one of the counts against MDY was inducement of infringement. To be able to induce someone to commit a crime, someone actually had to commit the crime.
gloomy reef
Right, they didn’t go after end users. The punishment for end users wouldn’t likely be more significant than losing their licensed access, which is what the court decided in Blizzard v. MDY.
EDIT: To clarify, it was decided that the users (licensees) were in violation of the TOS using the program, and could be denied access to the software (game.) Yes, they ruled the users violated DMCA by using the software, but the court of appeals ruled that end users didn’t commit copyright infringement by using software that violated the TOS of the game. So, I don’t believe the DMCA is applicable, in that example.
gloomy reef
@inland nymph It’s an interesting subject either way, though! I’m not a legal expert, but without copyright infringement being committed, I believe the most significant punishment for end users would be their software licenses being revoked.
Unless of course there was significant damage done to the company in some way from the action, or theft involved.
inland nymph
the (successful) argument was that : if you are in violation of tos, you don't have a license, and therefore playing IS copyright infringement.
gloomy reef
However, the appeals court overturned the ruling that using software in violation of the TOS constituted copyright infringement. They had violated the TOS, but using software in violation of the TOS did not constitute infringement.
The actual ruling from the appeals court is fairly reasonable, when read. Here’s a paste of some of it: “A Glider user violates the covenants with Blizzard, but does not thereby commit copyright infringement because Glider does not infringe any of Blizzard’s exclusive rights. For instance, the use does not alter or copy WoW software.
Were we to hold otherwise, Blizzard — or any software copyright holder — could designate any disfavored conduct during software use as copyright infringement, by purporting to condition the license on the player’s abstention from the disfavored conduct. The rationale would be that because the conduct occurs while the player’s computer is copying the software code into RAM in order for it to run, the violation is copyright infringement. This would allow software copy- right owners far greater rights than Congress has generally conferred on copyright owners.”
So, while they violate the TOS, and there’s some description earlier in the ruling as to what they mean by “covenant,” it doesn’t infringe on Blizzard’s rights, and so they don’t commit infringement by using it. And playing the game using the software, which is in violation of the TOS, did not constitute copyright infringement, at least that’s what I gathered from this: “We conclude that for a licensee’s violation of a con- tract to constitute copyright infringement, there must be a nexus between the condition and the licensor’s exclusive rights of copyright.4 Here, WoW players do not commit copy- right infringement by using Glider in violation of the ToU. MDY is thus not liable for secondary copyright infringement, which requires the existence of direct copyright infringement.”
Because the violation of the TOS (or ToU) didn’t infringe on Blizzard’s rights as the copyright holder, though they had broken the terms of their agreement to use the software. So, the license was revoked. The debate for end users was whether or not players owned the software they bought, and the ruling here seems to state that players do not, and instead are licensees, which is the big takeaway, as far as I can tell anyways.
inland nymph
ah, I had not seen the appeals court
gloomy reef
Ah, that makes sense! I thought I might be missing something, or there might be implications from the MDY portion I didn’t get. Like I said, I’m not a legal expert, it’s just a really slow work day.

@CasualKid
- MS is a lot richer than SIE.
- Most Sony games are exclusives because PlayStation is their biggest source of income, and consoles are sold at a loss.
- XGS mainly focuses on services than the selling of consoles. You get GamePass, you get Windows, you get Xbox, most goes to Microsoft. Its a "win-win" situation for both.
- If games are cross-platform (like Minecraft), then it is good for both sides of the competition.
- Many other things idk
woeful wraith
They're not here any more.
Game Pass etc also doesn't all go to Microsoft. They need to pay the third-party publishers in order to include their games on Game Pass.
wet quartz
Game Pass etc also doesn't all go to Microsoft. They need to pay the third-party...
He left? Ok
woeful wraith
In a way, yes.
gloomy reef
Exclusivity does help in selling more consoles for a certain platform. Would Nintendo have sold as many Switch consoles if they had made their first-party games multi-platform? Unlikely. But, that said, it doesn’t always play into the market strategy for a company. I don’t work for Microsoft, and don’t know what their goals are with Xbox, necessarily.
valid ibex
Microsoft want there games and titles to be cross platform but only on there platforms(console, phone, pc). They will need exclusives to power gamepass because once the subscription market becomes the most profitable market they will need a AAA games at least every 3 months. Smaller titles will probably go cross platform but just be used as an enticement for gamepass
woeful wraith
They don't need the games to be exclusive. There are lots of people who would rather pay $9/$15 a month and get all first-party games, plus third-party titles instead of paying $60+ for each one on either Xbox, PC or PlayStation. That alone is a big draw.
valid ibex
it might be like that but if a consumer only wants one game, like doom 3 for example they might just stay on there ps5, or switch rather than getting Microsoft products
woeful wraith
And Microsoft still makes money from the sale of the game.
Consoles are sold at a loss, so having that person buy an Xbox isn't exactly a huge win for them. If a person doesn't want to spend $300-$500 on a new Xbox (which MS earn nothing from) just to play a couple of games, then Microsoft gets nothing if those games are exclusive to the platform. Whereas if they are available on PlayStation and they buy the game(s) there, MS earns some money from the sale(s).
valid ibex
I would agree if Microsoft only had there xbox console as there platform, they want people to get there foot in the door and then to keep going deeper in gamepass, xcloud and they made that entry very appealing with series s
woeful wraith
Sure, and that will work for a lot of people, regardless of exclusivity, as I mentioned above. Those are the people that would much rather pay a small subscription fee each month (or in advance if they manage to get a chunk of cash) and a cheap console and get hundreds of games.
But for people who are already outside of the Xbox ecosystem and have their PS4/5 (or plans to buy a PS5), making those games exclusive would not necessarily pull them to Xbox. That's where we come to the second situation I described.
By releasing the games on all platforms, Microsoft cover all bases and keep the gamers happy regardless of the platform they play on. That in itself can generate brand power even if some of those people don't have an Xbox. Because when it comes to next generation, or if there are any mid-cycle upgrades, it may make those people consider Xbox more than they did before. So it doesn't always require exclusivity to pull people in if you play it smart.
valid ibex
I'm not saying full exclusivity but yeah, I get you, I just think xbox needs some exclusives to reel people in and some smaller games to be cross platform build a stronger brand image
woeful wraith
I think we're more likely to see timed exclusivity than full.
valid ibex
I could see that for the larger AAA games
wet quartz
MS should do timely exclusives
Make the game Xbox only for 2 years. Then other platforms
woeful wraith
That's too long. 6 months at most.
valid ibex
doesn't sony usually do like a year, I thought thats what xbox would do
gloomy reef
We’ll see what the future holds! They’ve been a bit quiet on exclusivity plans for Bethesda games. I’m not too worried either way though. I do think they want more people paying for service revenues, like Game Pass, though Game Pass’ focus currently isn’t profit, but marketing and advertisement for their ecosystem, according to Aaron Greenberg. They do want more people in their overall ecosystem (Windows and Xbox), buying games from their digital store. Game Pass is a way to draw people in, have people tell their friends about the great deal the service is, and give people access to remote streaming. Considering it’s not a big profit play right now, I don’t think their main goal is increasing the number of Game Pass subscribers for the sake of that service, but to get them interested in other Microsoft products and services as well.
valid ibex
yeah, same for Netflix, it wasn't profitable for years until it got to a certain amount of subscribers
twilit forum
Microsoft cant physically talk about a deal when its not been finalised yet, so maybe they be able to talk once its over with. even then Bethesda are still able to self-publish under their name.
valid ibex
when is the deal finalized, did they ever say?

early 2021
I think they said it wouldnt be no later than June, think I read about it somewhere
gloomy reef
Yeah, maybe. They did say something about evaluating on a case-by-case basis or something, back when the deal was announced.
Though Phil in one of the more recent interviews said they weren’t looking to “prevent people from playing games.” Like you said though, the deal isn’t done yet, so we have to wait for now.
hollow zinc
part of Satya Nadella's compensation (allegedly 5%) is based on Game Pass subscriptions. obviously that isn't a number that requires going all-in on Game Pass, but it is interesting to see what direction Microsoft takes with some of Bethesda's games.
if Microsoft thinks there is a strong future competitor in the space, it would be a little odd for them to forfeit the early advantage they have in building a marketshare that could be borderline dominant (by not making some of Bethesda's games "exclusive" to console, PC, Game Pass).
which would make it much easier to wheel and deal with third-parties to make sure the service stays on top compared to the competition and require mountains of investment by competitors to compete. i suppose it depends what inside knowledge Microsoft has of the potential progress of other competitors coming in to the space.
will Sony eventually put out an alternative service 5+ years from now? will Google or Amazon invest in exclusive content or not? if Microsoft has insight that the answer is yes to any of those, then they would be leaving Game Pass vulnerable to being usurped by a competing service (one that offers exclusives and has third-party agreements) if they put the game on platforms that don't have a Game Pass app.
so if Microsoft wants to see if Game Pass can truly be the "Netflix" of gaming, then experimenting with some of Bethesda's games would be the perfect case study as they simply can't be ignored by people on other platforms due to prior attachment. on a side note, you would assume Starfield has had a lot of work done on a Playstation version already, but who knows. and maybe a "timed" element would be enough due to the value and Day 1 nature of those games.

I realy think starfield will also be another 2/3 years tbh

not sure. MachineGames has probably been working on something for a while (not Indiana Jones). and i don't think Starfield is that far away because that would set up Elder Scrolls VI for like 2027-2028 (or later) as a release date. almost skipping 2 generations.
i'm hopeful Starfield turns out to be a surprise release either late 2021 (even though that might be stretching expectations) or early 2022....latest being late 2022.
give Starfield a full-blown reveal and a good 6+ months of hype and it will be just as big as if it was fully revealed 1 year out. wouldn't make that big of a difference.
but i do think there is a correlation between not hearing much about it and the pending approval of the Bethesda acquisition.

Yes also case by case basis, nothing has been said cause neither are allowed to talk about it till deal is done
inland nymph
Often, it has been exclusives that made or broke consoles (unless there was a big power differential). You get all of the cross platforms on either one. So choose the one that has the exclusives you like more. MS has often been on the losing side of this equation. I could totally see Vault going exclusive as a move to level the playing field in that regard. On the other hand, if they just rolled them into GPU, so its "get all of these games 'free' day 1 or pay for them on sony" that might be enough of a different paradigm to upset the old calculus. GPU is already an incredible amount of value, this would make it even moreso - if you are going to play GPU games.

Vault is just a temporary subsidiary for the merging so that it keeps ZeniMax/Bethesda as a pseudo-independent branch of Microsoft's first party studios.
the word Vault may even disappear or maybe "ZeniMax" does and it just becomes all Bethesda, who knows what is planned.
but the idea is ZeniMax/Bethesda will probably not report to Matt Booty (in this set up), who is the head of "Xbox Game Studios".....and instead will report to Phil Spencer.

since vault does not exist yet and Vault is a term that Microsoft are using in there EU paperwork I find that really hard to believe that a company that doesn't exist can make a statement like that 😆

Xbox needs more console exclusive games
I love Xbox but it’s run to an end with the severe lack of Xbox exclusive games.
PlayStation has multiple critically acclaimed exclusive games. (Exp. God Of War, Uncharted and the Spider-Man games) all I’m saying is if Microsoft buys indie game companies and keep funding them Xbox could possibly have an uprising.
twilit forum
Microsoft are coming with the games, its just they went on a spend spree and some of the studios were already mid-development with games that they kept them multi-plat, so everything from now on is going to be Exclusive to my knowledge, so many delays or Pandemic has slowed things down so could be looking at 2022-2023 for next big titles. same for Sony side tbh
when a new console launches there is a cross-gen period so while these companies are figuring out the new tech and what it can do, they still supporting old gen
pale lodge
Maybe Microsoft can at least prove that it’s still relevant by listening to the community, take in ideas from the community. I love Xbox from halo to limbo, from indie to Microsoft. I don’t want the legacy to die. A large majority of gamers are on console. Focus on console before it’s too late.
twilit forum

and as for Indie stuff theres loads of games launching most weeks from ID @ Xbox
pale lodge
Maybe just lower one year of Xbox live (prepaid card) by 10 to 20$, it’s 70$ in Canada.
gloomy reef
I feel like you greatly misunderstand the situation here. Consoles are sold at a loss, so Microsoft doesn't make any money off them. Making console-only games to try and sell the console would make them a pittance in comparison to going wide with their availability. You know what they do make money on? Game sales, subscription services, et cetera. With Xbox branching out to PC (the largest gaming market, not entirely sure why you called console gaming the majority), that increases the exposure Microsoft gets for their games tenfold.
@pale lodge
Microsoft has got their ecosystem on PC, Xbox (obviously), and now mobile. They're going wide, and it's turning out to be a very smart decision on their part.
twilit forum
Yeah Game Pass is doing wonders for them. SEGA praised the service as they gain 3 million new players with just Two Point Hospital.
pale lodge
I think older critically Microsoft games should be remastered.
gloomy reef
While yes, PS does have those blockbuster exclusives, you're forced into buying a PS to play them, whereas Xbox exclusives are exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, not the console, so you can play them on your PC or your phone with xCloud.
(Provided the games are actually available yet for said platforms.)
I think a lot of games need to be remastered, but it takes a lot of time, money, and manpower.

@pale lodge: i see you mentioned "console exclusive", but XBox is going to be a platform to play in different ways. are you aware of the exclusives already announced?
pale lodge
I also meant gamepass for pc
hollow zinc
the output by Microsoft this generation is going to be pretty intense. i think you are looking back at PS4-XBox One and just projecting it to be repeat performance this generation. that isn't the case. Microsoft is going all out to make sure that Game Pass has a steady flow of content to keep people subscribed.
Microsoft has 23 first party studios now (with Bethesda being acquired). some of these studios also have multiple projects going on....like Obdisian with Josh Sawyer (was a lead for Fallout: New Vegas) who is leading a "secret project."
Halo, Starfield, Psychonauts 2, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Project: Mara, Fable, Everwild, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Flight Sim, inXile is rumored to be taking an AAA RPG. we don't know to what extent Bethesda games will be exclusive. but look at potential games like Wolfenstein 3, Indiana Jones, and titles from Arcane - iD - Tango Game Works. this list does not include any of the Forza franchises, Coalition's future work (maybe Gears 6 or something else), etc.
and it can be pretty much assumed that Microsoft has at least one unannounced big title for this year (maybe its Starfield?). Halo's original release date was 2020. They wouldn't go through the entirety of 2021 without at least one other big release before the floodgates really start to open in 2022 with their first party output.
i'm also ignoring smaller-scale third-party games (since you mentioned AAA-level) like The Medium and Call of the Sea that already released... Twelve Minutes, Scorn, The Ascent, Martha is Dead coming some time in 2021. but the future is bright for first party output by Microsoft. it's going to be borderline smothering.

Stalker 2, Exo-Mecha,Second Extinction I think most are for Game Pass bolstering

fresh heron
Baring in mind AAA games can take half a decade to make, and based on the trailers and stuff we've seen for Avowed and the like, although cinematics, do genuinely make me excited. All I need now is more details and a release window
And the excitement was there before the ZeniMax acquisition. That was the legit cherry on the cake.

hollow zinc
that is a misnomer. you are projecting the Xbox One generation into this current one and Game Pass. did you see the list of games above? Lots of those are going to be AAA-level quality.
as someone who primarily played on 360, then PS4....Sony, not Microsoft, should be more concerned about matching the output of Xbox games once the floodgates open in 2022. unless they plan to pay for third-party exclusives.
that said, Naughty Dog and Santa Monica are top tier studios. it's not about copying their games.
twilit forum
they already have, 329 million was spent on 3rd party exclusives for Sony

you can easily envision one AAA game a quarter being released on Game Pass once the ball gets rolling. looking for a repeat of the past to make a projection about this is just going to leave you behind the curve.

I don't think there is any website with such data. All we can do is look at the current announcements. For the PS, currently Horizon Forbidden West and a new God of War is announced. Sony also has other IPs like Uncharted, TLOU, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman etc. and it is reasonable to expect games from these IPs in generation too. I am not sure about the smaller indie titles or their partnership with 3rd party studios. On the Xbox front, there is Halo Infinite. We can also expect the ZeniMax games to be exclusives though it is not announced yet. Plus Fable, Awoved and other games that have been mentioned here multiple times.
I am also deciding between the Series X and the PS5 and am almost sure about getting the Xbox. I won't mind not playing 2-3 sony exclusives a year. But, Xbox + gamepass is a really good deal. Also, the Xbox games will come on gamepass day 1 so, I have made my mind to go with the Series X.
