No they can't nor will their shareholders allow them to keep doing so. But like the news that Phil straight up told the truth from a certain point of view, we'll just wait for that news to drop sometime in the future.

Thats all it is at this point, just wait and the truth will eventually come out.
Its so funny hearing people think microsoft can afford to throw away money and warchest talk when they just killed their AR/VR department and laid off 10k workers. Microsoft isn’t wealthy because they are good at losing money.
No. this isn’t true. They are putting the money back into content but they are making a profit.
Sony doesn’t make much profit off of their first party games. The majority of their money comes from 3rd party software sales and services. The 1st Party games are an investment to bring people into the ecosystem, same as gamepass.
It’s clear from talking to y’all that the thread title is all facts. Console wars is all you goofys understand
I thought the same thing about Disney+ when it dropped. "Oh if they have X amount of subscribers, they can put their content on the service and skip the theaters because the money will be there." I was wrong as fukk. Iger just came back and said on an investors call, that they focused so much on just making content for the service, that they forgot that they still have to make money. And you know how business works, even when you make $3 billion a year? You also have to pay for all the things that get you to that. Employees pay, benefits, office space, server space, marketing, etc. It's more than just paying developers to put their stuff on Game Pass. And when you're on the Microsoft level of business you're going to pay Microsoft money, and that is not cheap.

Like y’all just ignore reality to come up with your own alternate truths. It’s really fascinating.

No Sony doesn't. And their CEO knows that a lot of their value comes in licensing their content out. So what exactly don't I know? Call me when Microsoft makes the Halo show good.

Public statements? You mean like Phil or whoever at Microsoft saying that Game Pass won't hurt sales, and then have to release info because they want to buy a company that they're mostly going to let IP collect dust on a shelf, and had to reveal that Game Pass does hurt sales. You mean those kind of public statements?

That what Microsoft is currently doing isn’t successful or sustainable and they will eventually restructure their current business model
