25% of sales on xbox is pretty neat for them actually, they get more or less the same % of consoles they sold as copies of the game.

I would have said sub 20% -- maybe closer to 15% if you had asked me -- I think is is good news compared to any other xbox news since Phil won that award for being the best gaming executive.

Yeah I don't see what's the point of that tweet. We already knew the install base on gen 9 consoles would result in 75% for PS5 and 25% for Xbox Series. So the fact that it still managed to do 25% of preorders on Xbox is good for Xbox, it means whoever bought them at least didn't stop using it and left for PlayStation or some other platform mid-gen (or that the ones who stayed behind are more dedicated players on average than the active PS user base). Also kinda goes against those articles saying alarm bells were going off at Xbox HQ because the preorders were lower even accounting for the install base difference, and backs up Ball's pushback that the pre orders are in line with the install base. That being said though, this is just an estimate/prediction so it might not be accurate.



100m consoles proves that Playstation sucks!


This has been a go-to cope of Xbox fanboys, the idea that people only buy PS because of brand recognition. Never wondering why PS has that brand recognition in the first place and Xbox doesn't, or how that brand recognition didn't help the PS3 much against the 360.
 
Xbox always had the worst of the worst social media content creators circle jerk. But I probably hate even more the dissimulated Xbox fanboys who jumped ship to PC when the going got rough, and now pretend they are this clear eyed opinion maker even though they walk talk and twist like Xbots. Press delete on their whole content, just erase it all.
