Just like Phil said 4 games to start ....

Things have a way of progressing.

Phil said only 4 games before we know it MS is a third party publisher. I dont think other companies like Sony and Nintendo are going to follow this path. Sony is keen on expanding on PC not hiding any failures related to the management of their Playstation business. Thats the primary driver for what Xbox under Phil is doing imho. And it could still end up being profitable with all MS Gaming titles available on all platforms day and date. But thinking Sony is going to follow Phil is wishful thinking.

Time will tell...

Btw, I don't think Sony is going fully day and date on PC, but I think the 1-4 is going to 0-2 on case by case over time. It's already happening.

I don't know what you're talking about. RDNA4 will be a significant leap compared to 3, both in terms of Ray-tracing and AI upscaling. There is a bigger leap in technology now than when switching from RDNA 2 to RDNA3.

Maybe I'm underestimating rdna4. But PS5 pro has the rdna4 ray tracing acceleration, and it doesn't seem to be close to Nvidia or Intel.

When they announced those 4 games, Microsoft was already and had a long history of publishing games and software on rival platforms, though. Ori (published by Microsoft) was already on Switch. Minecraft was on everything. And Age of Empires was released on PS2 but not Xbox in the 2000s. They were already a 3rd party publisher.
