The facts are, Xbox’s aren’t selling, gamepass isn’t growing, and their studios aren’t releasing games after announcing them years ago. The industry and consumer continue to lose faith in xbox as a brand.

Let meach shout into the abyss about how its all fake news. The only proven liars so far has been phil and the rest of the execs at microsoft
You didn’t hear? Consoles don’t matter anymore.

Gamepass is on PC tho

And then they want to release every single game on Game Pass “Across consoles, PC, mobile and Samsung TVs”, day one, when money is made on sales. They’re not incentivizing anyone to buy anything. But Sony Stan’s right?

They comfort themselves by thinking Microsoft is so rich that it doesn’t matter how much money they lose.

To buy gamepass. I take it back. You aren’t trolling, you might actually be stupid:

Xbots who think selling a service that incentivizes it’s customers to buy the products that actually make money. You have to not just be stupid, but a Grade A retard to believe that a subscription service should be your only business model. One guy I watch on YouTube says that he plays his games on Game Pass, and if he likes it, he buys it for another console when it goes on sale. But you know, go live in your Microsoft is all for the gamers fantasy land:mjlol:

It’s just funny that Microsoft has been trying to be this Swiss Army knife hub for all things entertainment in some form or another for years now, and people keep falling for it.

Yet Sony and Nintendo both have subscription services, aren’t just giving away their bangers, and they’re ahead of Microsoft in sales.

Netflix, Spotify, and gamepass are the product. :pachaha:

Like office? Adobe creative cloud? :comeon:

Why would microsoft care if someone buys the game on a different system if the user is still subscribed to gamepass? Similarly, why would the publisher care either.

You’ve dismantled the very argument you made earlier. I guess this shows growth :skip:

I own Xbox and ps5. I can play all games how I like. Sorry, I’m not having brokeboy problems.

IPs are always going to be the most important thing and right now Microsoft isn't producing them. It's like streaming wars where many hopped onto Disney+ when they were late to the game since the have Star Wars, Marvel, and other valuable IPs.

Microsoft technically got the IPs to get numbers, but those seem far away. However, it's time for them to create some new IPs because Gears and Halo doesn't move the needle like it used to. There's a whole generation of gamers that have a sullied viewed of Halo due to 343 era and they've also lost some of their diehards.
