You know what else they said?They keep saying it and showing the numbers over and over again.
"Right now, we have more Xbox console users than we've ever had in the history of Xbox," that number is about to grow after today's showing
Phil talks about the success of third-party game sales, their multiplatform strategy, Fallout 5, and the future of console hardware.
But yall get your perspective from sony stan’s and cac tweets so…….
Xbox growth has stalled, but Microsoft gaming hasn't. In the console space Microsoft growth has stalled, which is why it's not performing well monthly in all markets. Unsure, if Microsoft is seeing direct growth in windows store because most people are buying their games on Steam.Xbox growth has not stalled.
Player engagement is up for them across all platforms.
They are definitely more conservative with marketing budgets than sony, but sony is gonna need to rein some of that in too. There’s more effective ways to market without throwing a bunch of money at ads.
That’s actually what the news story in the op is about. A very effective marketing campaign that didn’t cost much but resulted in a tangible increase in xbox players.
What’s in the OP is actually a good thing, a success story for xbox. But as usual the concern trollers ignore context and spin it in to pages of bashing xbox.
“Xbox” hasn’t just been the console for over a decade now.
I just posted the announcement that they have more active xbox console users now than ever before.
In NA the brand is pretty close to equal with sony. Could do more advertising, but i’m sure they have numbers telling them what’s worth it or not.
I feel that's cap. I don't think they have that many first time xbox owners with the xbox series gen. So, it's pretty much an extension of xb1 gen, and people that had xb1 left it for Sony or built a PC. I don't trust any hyperbole Phil wants to say during an event like that. I would only somewhat trust it if it's said during a Microsoft earning call because you can't lie to shareholders during those.
Honestly, he's not wrong there because the gap isn't that large in NA, but it's widening due to Phil's incompetence.

Incompetence that has led to the CEO being able to boast about how their brand is the biggest it’s ever been
Unsure, if its 2:1, but it's getting close which is a bad look. I think last gen it was only a couple of millions behind. So, its def all lies when Phil is saying more console users blah blah. For all we know he's talking about people linking their accounts to Minecraft haha. It's def a red alert when it close to 2:1 in your main stronghold. It's only going to get worse when younger gamers don't have any attachment to the xbox brand. They're living off the strength of 360 gen, and older gamers are fine with xbox because it's what they know but gen z don't f with xbox.

Thats exactly what they are doing, they are counting all the WOW/Battle.net and Minecraft, etc. accounts on other platforms.
Thats how they went from 123m before the merger to 200m in the link meach posted post merger
Microsoft says Xbox monthly active users hit a record 120 million | VGC
Company also reports “new highs for Game Pass subscriptions” during its second quarter…
The numbers on actual xbox hardware would be tiny considering they have an install base of like 50m, betweeen series and xbox one consoles.
The minecraft nintendo users probably accounted for a large portion of that 123m
lmao, I had a feeling he was doing that because there's no way there are that many users on xbox series, xb1, windows store, and steam. More power to them and they made some smart investments like Minecraft, but it doens't mean shyt for the xbox brand because most people don't even associate Minecraft with xbox and same with COD.. I think Minecraft on Nintendo got a commerical and Minecraft on xbox doesn't even get advertise that much.Thats exactly what they are doing, they are counting all the WOW/Battle.net and Minecraft, etc. accounts on other platforms.
