It was so obvious Series consoles would be a failure.

Series S is a horrible idea poorly executed.

Their studios and development culture is a mess.

The idea of turning console gaming into a subscription based model is demented and could only come from a company as out of touch as MS that never understood the console market.

Good riddance and if anything it's taking too long. We need Valve/SteamOS consoles to really put pressure on Sony and make them pay for their mistakes.
We need someone other than Vslve.

This is so rare we get these numbers. Is it official data and where did Enpleinjour got it exactly?

EA in particular would be nothing without Playstation 😲

Makes you wonder why they are so close to Xbox 😒

Sooner the Xbox consoles and brand die and the sooner Microsoft just becomes Sega, the better. Microsoft truly has no fucking clue and to think their bet generation was Xbox 360 with under 10 studios. LMFAO!!! I believe they will be Sega before 2030.

Who would have ever thought that releasing your first party console exclusives on competing platforms and in the case of PlayStation where they fucking run better (SMFH!!) would somehow someway hurt or kill off Xbox? Gee, im guessing no one saw this shit coming. What a fucking joke of a company in regards to Xbox and gaming.

I don't know what to think, we have heard this alot from the start of the year to the present, but Xbox seems to be doing good mostly, and overall it has sold I believe 2 | 1, they are also making deals with Japanese publishers to bring their games day 1 to gamepass.

Though, a part of me, wants their Games' financial relevance on PlayStation, because they bought so many third party studios, and a big publisher, just so the franchises won't be released on PlayStation while they previously did.

If they release their exclusive deals and port L4D 1/2 over to PS they'll make some fucking bank. Even better if they do Steam Workshop on consoles for mods or ordane some mods as officially supported like Cold Stream map was.

How is selling significantly worse than last year considered "doing mostly good"? And their last year sales were abysmal, so doing even worse than that is horrible. All that with zero games until MAY.....while also giving your biggest competitor your games?

from documents submitted to the cma...So 2022 and before, and even more likely 2021 and before. The splits are probably even worse for xbox now, by quite a bit.

This is the same discussion thts been had in a thousand other threads. It's water is wet and they been rip.
This news is blowing up in other places because they were silenced for too long. Still, I think it should get its own thread here too because I get old replies from December 2023 and January when I click here instead of this bomb drop full of new info.

I just want to point out the SNeakerSO from gaf has been right about EVERYTHING so far it seems.
And JizzCorden has been wrong about EVERYTHING 😂🤣

I cannot wait for the next 1st party Xbox game to be announced.
