Wearing Lions gear when it wasn't cool
You mean they've lost every gen they've been in
This gen is already over as well, PS5 is on pace to set records while Switch 2 is going to come out and lap yas.
Next gen if they even put out another console instead of trying to push gamepass everywhere else (So compete with Steam on PC, be an EA Access on PS/Switch) is at best going to be another 360. But to even come close to winning you need Sony and Nintendo to drop the ball at the same time and release like early PS3 and Wii U and even if that happened, the rest of the world don't like Xbox like that.
Losing in console install base.
Ultimately though, when Microsoft is making north of 30 billion a year in revenue with higher margins vs the 24-25 of Sony, what is winning then? The goal of a company is to ultimately make money, right? Microsoft's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Their next 10-Q at the end of December should show Activision as a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft with Call of Duty 2023 sales on it. Microsoft's approach to gaming, largely because they've halfstepped for most of the Xbox history, had to define success differently than other console manufacturers. The end result is making money everywhere. Starfield sold way more on PC than Xbox. Do you really think Microsoft cares? It's Microsoft software playing on Microsoft software (Windows)
