    Discussion Flop! Metaphor: ReFantazio debuts at number 37 on Xbox (Atlus 35th Digital Anniversary Edition at number 555).

    More precisely, the Xbox user base doesn't buy games unless they are sports games or COD. And they might not even buy COD anymore.

    Discussion Timeline of the Decline of the Xbox Series

    The only positive thing I'll say about Xbox X/S is that it sold surprisingly well at launch, despite having zero exclusives for the first 2-3 years. How the fuck did Phil let that happen? What a catastrophe. It amazes me that even die-hards stuck with it after that

    News Circane August Report - PS5 is #1 but all HW down by at least 34%

    Based on VGC data, the US is exceptional in that it's the only market in the world keeping the Xbox console alive. It's repellant to pretty much every other market in the world...

    Discussion Sony forecasted 18 million units for the fiscal year

    You can't be this stupid, right? The value of the dollar isn't frozen in time. The Xbox One was pretty much the same price adjusted for inflation (~$675). Adjusting for inflation, there are several consoles that were more expensive than the PS5 Pro launch price. The PS3 was $780 adjusted for...

    Discussion Sony forecasted 18 million units for the fiscal year

    People who are moaning about the PS5 price are gonna have a stroke when they see what Nvidia will be charging for the 5000 series - it's a king's ransom.

    Analysis Digital Foundry: Metaphor ReFantazio - Fantasy Persona... But What About Performance?

    A game with PS3 era graphics should be running at 120 fps on modern consoles. It's not even hitting a stable 60.

    Discussion PC gamers aren't buying games again - Silent Hill 2 debuts on Steam with 21k player count

    That makes no sense. Xbox players don't buy games. They sub and play on gamepass. A PC day one release would sell exponentially more copies.

    Review Metaphor Re:Fantazio | Review Thread

    I expect Xbots to latch on to it and champion it as GOTY, because it's the only GOTY contender they can access on their platform

    Xbox Bethesda lead designer says Starfield is "hardest thing Bethesda has ever done" and the best game they ever made

    Remember during the launch last year when people were making up so many excuses for how mediocre the game is? The game gets good after 15-20 hours, so you can't judge it unless you've played that much The game runs poorly because the engine allows you to collect hundreds of sandwiches The...

    News Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond visiting Square Enix

    If SE were to become a Xbox stooge studio, the best minds and developers would jump ship. SE's leadership is brain dead, but the people who make the games aren't. We've already seen this story.

    Too bad you still need to execute on that ambition.

    Discussion FF Pixel Remaster: It's not even in the top 50 most played on Xbox

    Your ilk are just another variation of ohnoitsalexx - PC "neutrals" who are defacto Xbox defenders. If everyone on this site suddenly became Xbox cheerleaders overnight, that wouldn't change Xbox's flatlining gamepass subscriptions, non existant sales in Asia and Europe, and overall downward...

    Discussion FF Pixel Remaster: It's not even in the top 50 most played on Xbox

    Desire and prejudice are irrelevant. Xbox is a failing brand, and your whataboutism and white knighting doesn't change the facts on the ground. They're publicly asking studios why many of them don't bother with their platform.

    You're right Yoshi P, it's a great idea to dump FF16 on this platform.

    PC Starfield's Shattered Space DLC Launches to Mixed Reviews, Main Story is Only 15 Hours Long

    It's so bad that even one of the shill Xbox sites (Pure Xbox) scored the DLC 50/100. Meanwhile, Xbox era still gave it 90/100 https://www.metacritic.com/game/starfield-shattered-space/critic-reviews/?platform=xbox-series-x

    Xbox Xbox wants to know why studios avoid their consoles

    I mean yeah, but the fact that Xbox users don't buy games is probably the biggest pill to swallow for studios. The only "good" reason to release on Xbox is if Xbox gives you a lucrative gamepass deal.

    PC Starfield's Shattered Space DLC Launches to Mixed Reviews, Main Story is Only 15 Hours Long

    So basically this DLC adds little to nothing in terms of mechanics and lifts its story and lore from Event Horizon. And in some circumstances you can complete the main story in as little as 5 hours. Definitely doesn't sound like it's worth $30. The fact that they didn't even give review copies...

    Xbox Square Enix confirms goal to bring 'Final Fantasy 16' to Xbox

    What's a current gen game that sold over a million copies on Xbox S/X that isn't CoD/Fortnite/Live service? According to SteamDB, Starfield has sold between 1.7 million - 4 million. So maybe Starfield?
