Xbox IS IN STAGE 4 TERMINAL END OF THE ROAD LOST AT SEA AT THE BOTTOM WITH A LOGITECH CONTROLLER DEAD IN EUROPE

[Black Mamba]

Speaking to IGN for a follow-up, GI.biz head of games B2B Chris Dring painted a grim picture of Xbox's fortunes across Europe.

"The sheer absence of available console stock last year does skew these figures quite a bit," he said. "And it's worth noting that Eurozone countries have never been Xbox's strongest territories. They revealed back in February they only hold 20% of the market versus PlayStation's 80%.

"However, even in the UK, which is a market where Xbox is a lot more competitive it's been a tough year, with Xbox Series S and X sales down 23% year-to-date. The reality is the console has very little momentum, which is such a crucial element when it comes to how successful a generation is or isn't for a platform holder."

"The lack of big exclusives are often cited for why this has happened, and some of the big games like Halo: Infinite didn't provide the boost you might expect," Dring continued. "A lot of unreasonable pressure was put on Starfield, and it did cause some sales improvement, but it hasn't been sustained."

"PC and mobile are dominant platforms across Europe, and will be a more effective avenue for Xbox to reach players in these markets," Dring said. "With its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, it is now one of Europe's most powerful games companies, just in a different way."

So they did all that buying those companies for nothing

They did it because it will keep them in gaming, but probably not as a platform holder

They’ll be able to parlay this into being a dominant developer

But it’s clear they don’t have the management skills to be productive in the console space. The 360s success is looking more and more like a one hit wonder the further we get away from it.

thats what i said before, thats why xbox stans spend so much time trying to blow up negative news stories about playstation, especially at the beginning of this generation. They know that a large part of the 360’s success is because sony dropped the ball with the ps3.

The only way xbox gains significant marketshare is if that happens again, but news stories about layoffs, jim ryans cats, how ugly the console design is, or GAAS isn’t going to do it for most people that ths point.

They have a very “American” approach to gaming that doesnt appeal to the rest of the world. Only a certain group of people want to spend 18 hours a day playing first person shooters and such. Yeah that’s cool, but give me sports, racing, adventure, fighting, ect. So you attract a certain type of gamer that honestly isn’t the best representation of your product.

They have the same problem the UFC has in MMA and AEW in pro wrestling, in catering to that young white male demo for quick and easy bucks other people are like “I don’t want to be associated with this image”
