This is capatalism. You grow your business or you shut it down. Last generation is was like almost 60 million. The one before that it was over 80 million. It's shrinking and their hardware is unprofitable so why bother? It's like Nadella wants just reach them where they are.
Sony is selling less consoles each gen.

Guess they should pack it up too :francis:
The same with the subscription service. The output hasn't been there and the subs stalled out. Now you see them jacking up prices and going against their core motto of day 1 games.
Neither of these things happened tho :ohhh:

@MeachTheMonster go ahead and send your resume to Nutella. This is getting on absurd levels to idiocracy. Phil gotta be replaced.

Corporate Babble.

Series is selling less than the XBone. We need new leadership. We don't believe Phil's lies no more and Nutella want his money.

You asked why they should continue to make hardware next gen. I gave you an answer to that question.

:gucci:
This is a public owned company with shareholders. The shareholders are not trying to hear that 40 million shrinking 20 million each generation is good enough talk. If they can't grow the business they get out of it and redeploy that capital where it can get a better return.

That hardware and subscription business are dying. The subscription side is dependent on them selling hardware because that's the bulk of their subs and hardware is in heavy decline.

Also the subscription business is in conflict with the part of the business that wants to sell games on PlayStation. They're costing each other subs or sales. It's time to pick a lane and stay in it. If you're looking to sell games on PlayStation Game Pass is in the way. If you're looking to grow Game Pass you don't chase sales on other platforms.

Games cost too much and take too long to make. These gaming droughts are only going to get worse with the way the industry is going.

Microsoft seriously lost their way though. They owned the 360 era and seriously but we're too early pushing Games as a Service type shyt

I guess they did everyone a solid by making the GOAT couch play emulation machines in the Series S and X :youngsabo:

They just need to go all in on being a Publisher and not squander the IPs they do have trying to be a jack of all trades and master at none.

Negotiate with Sony and Nintendo to bring gamepass to their consoles on some EA Play/Ubisoft+ shyt with the caveat being they'll bow out of the console game if they allow Gamepass on their hardware.
