TYRONE GA!

Common sense and said this for years but the Xbozos told us otherwise

These AAA games costs way to much to put on Asspass Day 1 but according to shills it was gonna sell consoles (it didn't) and be profitable (it's not) cause Daddy Nutella got all the money and they gonna reach 100 million subs (number so delusional it's pathetic!)

They deserve to cry and be hurt for being stupid assclowns to.common sense

I think those rumors were true and Phil n them was leaking this shyt to the bloggers etc… acquiring Activision was the worse thing that could have happen. They are now bigger than Windows OS. That money looking good.

I think them scooping up Activision was always a money play which is good for business because you can sell those games on all platforms and draw people in with GP.

A lot of gamers don’t look at the corporate picture because well their consumers but the corporation needs to see money on those investments

Does this mean GP was a failure?

No Gamepass wasn’t a failure it was at 35 million from 2017 which is pretty impressive. The question is what did stakeholders expect in regards to Gamepass and the acquisition? You can’t quickly think shyt would turn around as quick as they think it would

I think Microsoft been wanted to get out of the game console space and this was their outlet to do it. This definitely was a chairman decision not Phil Sarah Matt etc..

What's crazy is, like you said this was common sense. Like, you don't even need a degree to know this was gonna fail from the jump. It was clear as day. BUY.YOUR.GAMES.

In January 2022 Microsoft said Game Pass had 25 million subscribers. :mjlol:

yes, 33 mil is the new number, still two less than what you said and definitely not in 2017.

nikka it’s still over 30 million. What’s your point? Gamepass went live in 2017 that is 6 million subscribers a year with no games. Then when you get games you stop. This definitely was an executive decision. I told you they seen them numbers

:francis:From day zero....Microsoft should have just focus mainly on software and not so much hardware, given the hard facts:

  • Xbox OG- Big fat worthless slept on gem with a potential online service
  • 360- A broken hot mess with GOAT games and a top tier online service
  • XBONE- a forgettable system that got shytted on for the digital ideals (eventually, gamers had to bend the knee and accept the prophecy)
  • X Series - lmao
All in all, Microsoft track rate concerning hardware sucks. I say this as a former Best Buy rep, trying to sell a Surface and their phones to the average consumer was a pain in the fukking ass, but their services easily due to the innovation and accessibility. Folks on suicide watch over something that was mentioned ages ago of how trashed the hardware was, but their first party games were essential.

At the end of the day, it's going to be where folks continue this fanboy/console bullshyt, but the real winner is the customer because we all can eat with exclusives and not have to go out of our way to buy a bunch of consoles that will be outdated within the time it takes to throw on a trailer.
