I don't really have a dog in this fight, but this tweet is some bullshyt.

First off, just putting games on other platforms isn't getting people into the XBox ecosystem. It's just getting 70% of sales revenue from copies sold on another platform. It's great for finding new ways to generate revenue, but that doesn't necessarily mean much for ecosystem growth. If I don't need an XBox or Gamepass to play Hi-Fi Rush, then I'm not really being rushed to go out and get either.

But I REALLY think people aren't about to let that "But everyone else gets year old scraps" argument fly, considering how much pointing and laughing was being done once Sony established that they were going to regularly port their exclusives to PC once they were at least a year old. It's the same fukking thing, but now all of a sudden it's supposed to be a stroke of genius?
Sony porting their 1st party games to PC was something Stans said they would never do because it devalued the brand.


Here we are in 2024 and you'd think they never said it at all.


The same thing will happen when Sony launches 1st party games day and date on PC as well.

Stan's will forget they even debated how "Sony would never"

Nah don't try to flip it, the only reason the "I'll just get it on PC" got attached to PlayStation It's because y'all swore up and down that they wouldn't do what Xbox did with 1st party on PC at all, then y'all tried to flip it I to well, it's years later, then when they started drops even closer y'all was like "well they'll never do day and date"

And now the funniest part is xbox is porting their games to other consoles sooner than sony is porting their games to pc :dead:

You are furious, why? :dahell:

this is a good thing, Hi Fi Rush has a chance to actually make back a good amount of money on other platforms
:mjlol: Furious about?

I'm the guy that has said over and over hardware sales don't matter as much to them.

Y'all the one arguing why it's sooooo Important.

Them releasing games on other platforms was always on my roadmap. Why wouldn't they with the amount of studios they have and their history with software as a company, seems like common sense.

This is the pivot




If they didn’t care about console sales why was Satya Nadella using it as a metric for success in 2022 while sony was hit with shortages? :jbhmm:

This whole “xbox doesn’t care about console sales’ didn’t enter the conversation again until the stock shortages ended early last year

Hardware sales not mattering as much is not "they don't care about hardware sales" there is middle ground.

Not sure why y'all keep trying to make it completely one or the other
