Xbox sales down 35% in September, PS5 up 175%

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Ain’t nobody trying to cop a Great Value PC with no games.

Those Phil Spencer emails that spoke about acquiring Nintendo being a high water mark for his career really revealed his psychology. Dude has made the entire Xbox brand about his ego, there's literally been no other news coming out of Xbox since 2018. What the fukk have all these studios been doing under MS, besides just finishing up old projects from before they got acquired?

Xbox's Data Suggests They Might Have A Better Profit Margin Than PlayStation - Gameranx

Microsoft has explained to the FTC that they had higher profit margins than Sony, in a specific time frame last year.

That all means nothing.

You’re starting to be kinda pathetic

Starting???

Console sales are an outdated metric to use with Microsoft. They are the only one that releases games day and date on multiple platforms. All they care about is making money. They have the best catalog of games by far in terms of the amount of quality, recognizable IP. If they really wanted to 'win' a war with their IP through a box, they could. That is clearly not their goal. They are preparing for the impeding content war when the console box is not a necessity for competent home gameplay. Within a couple of years, if it even takes that long, Microsoft is going to be the biggest company in gaming in terms of revenue. The Xbox consoles are just yet another vehicle to get their games in people's hands.

Don't get me wrong, I love the console war fodder as I've participated for years in it. However, I just see it for what it is now. Microsoft is just going to out-money everyone now and play the long game, waiting in the cut for you to say that you need help.



Bethesda needed help, Activision needed help. One day, someone else will and the big homie from Redmond got the wallet open to help you through your trying times.

You was one of the main ones on the hamster talking about about sales when 360 was around

Can’t wait for all the activision games to be day 1 on gamepass while Sony Stan’s paying full price for em

This was 2017

This is now.

The strategy within Microsoft has obviously changed. Think about it, once Disney Plus went live, the subscriber numbers exploded. Why? They have the catalog, Disney, Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel. In a platform agnostic future, if we get there, all people will care about are games. Halo, Gears, Forza, Doom, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Diablo, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot and plenty more are all owned by the same company now. You can't tell me IP doesn't matter on a day Spider-Man 2 releases and it will surely be the best selling Sony first party game for the generation. I'm sure it isn't a better game that Naughty Dog's best or even Santa Monica with God of War but it will trounce though in sales. Microsoft saw a future where the box isn't the end goal but as a vehicle to the end goal. Hence why they do day and date with their games now or why they are putting Xbox streaming on the Quest 3 or why they helped out with the Rog Ally. They are trying to make Xbox synonymous with gaming all over. The box only gets 200 million users per generation. With their outlay of cash, they are aiming higher than that.

It would be the high point in anyones career that could pull it off and had the money to do so.


Y'all acting like anyone who is or was an actual wouldn't feel that exact same way is a bold face lie.

Disney Plus is getting absolutely trounced ever since they turned into a content machine. They had record breaking profits and stock valuation when they focused on making blockbuster movies that released exclusively in theaters and did billion plus sales on the opening weekend. Ever since they've shifted their focus to streaming they've turned out nothing but garbage show after garbage show, the Star Wars brand is dead, the MCU is dead, their legacy IPs like Snow White and Little Mermaid are dead, Indiana Jones is dead, their stock price is down to like $80 from $200, no one is going to their theme parks because no one cares about their new properties, Quantumamia lost them 200 million, The Marvels is set to lose them $4-600 million

This idea that a streaming service will automatically increase your addressable customer base while you sit back and collect checks has been definitively disproven. I guess nikkas just love repeating history

I was like this dude just compared MS to Disney Plus, he's fukking clueless

Damn, Spider-Man launched and @Dorian Breh worried about European video game sales.

Makes sense though, dude never plays a game the year it releases.

Cuz he already beat it




He spent $70 for essentially a bag of chips so he might as well come back to the coli to troll

So let him have it

Didn't Same-man 2 just release like 45 minutes ago

Console fanboys don't play video games, they play characters.

These Xbox Twitter personalities try so hard to reciprocate the clowning they receive but it never works because when you make these kinds of posts about a game that's 91 on MC and has the entirety of the YouTube creator community playing it and praising it, you just come across as delusional and trying too hard
