Given Xbox's catastrophic decline this past quarter, with the highest of high-end estimates peaking at 800k units for the quarter just gone, the hardware is likely sitting squarely at just under 25 million units lifetime. (See Xbox LTD sales estimates from Feb). Meta Quest 2 had sold 20...

Xbox shutting up shop. Truly heartless with Fallout bringing in massive $$$ thanks to the TV show.

DF has a different, largely copium-huffing take than the logical conclusion in the thread title given Chris Dring's conversations with industry leaders at GDC which prompted this DF video. Note that Chris says it was a major company who released a big game in 2023 and thought why bother with...

Slightly old news but I didn't see a thread, and it's even more relevant because the page isn't back up despite this happening weeks ago. It's up on PlayStation (and Steam). Looks like the first domino to fall - Xbox is losing third party support...

With the announcement that the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima port will have an overlay featuring PSN features and trophies, it's becoming clearer that Sony's ambitions are not to merely extend their software's reach, but their platform's. Sony commands the strongest position in the videogame...

Source: Newzoo One platform is on the decline from its high (PC) while the other has consistently grown (consoles) Nice counter to both Spencer FUD and PC Masterbaiter spam.

Note the PC market shrinking and that it just fell behind mobile, and that even at a single SKU level (i.e. one console vs PC, the 3rd top selling PC game can't even sniff the top 20 console chart). https://imgur.com/gallery/H3HrSUp PC is actually worse off than it was in 2018!!! What growth?

It's clear from the detailed stats in the UK last year that the current model of selling full-priced games to a dwindling audience just isn't working, for PC, that is...

https://www.polygon.com/24086441/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-sony-layoffs-death-of-aaa Sharing an absolutely absurd hit piece by Polygon on both FFVII Rebirth and Sony, where they create an admittedly non-existent link between Sony's layoffs and Rebirth's size. The obvious reference for bloat and...

It's well documented that horizontal mergers are looked at more harshly than vertical ones like MS and ABK. What will become (one of) the largest third party publisher(s) will not be allowed to purchase their rivals. I wanted to say that because I wanted to remove any semblance of a silver...

For those who don't know, Microsoft's weeping during the last gen and their paltry-in-comparison but noisy user base led to changes in Sony's policy on crossplay, giving lifeblood to the mummified husks of multiplayer communities on Xbox by allowing Xbox to access Playstation 4's enormous player...

Update 3/25 Chris Dring at GDC.. 8:46 Min After an abysmal showing in Europe this November, being outsold 20:1 and falling behind the ORIGINAL Xbox, insider sneakerSO on Neogaf has this to say...

Tom Warren toeing the company line, but Neogaf's Mowcno has run the combined numbers himself: PR below: The Mierdas Touch™ strikes again.

In revealing emails involving Matt Booty dated back to 2021, Microsoft revealed their actual stance on having their first party IP available on competing cloud services. The document reveals Phil Spencer signing off (via Booty's email) on removing Bethesda games from Nvidia, which were on the...

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-hurts-sales-says-dev-behind-xbox-game-pass-title/1100-6514084/ It's finally ok to talk about how much XGP sucks donkey balls, so expect more of these in the future.

All of this month's Must Plays in the PS Plus Game Catalog are Bethesda titles. Ignoring the typo (5, not 6 games are referenced), you can see Sony wants people to play Ghostwire Tokyo, Doom Eternal, Skyrim, Fallout and Deathloop. Is it to drive engagement and demonstrate to Microsoft that...

Friends, it's been a great day. It's now time to reflect on the actors involved in this shambolic soap opera and understand where they, and the industry are headed. Jim Ryan  Massive balls on this man. He stood up to a company 20x the size of his own and won. A pay rise is certainly on the...

-Gaming Revenue down 4% - Xbox content and services up 3% due to growth in GP - Xbox HW down 30%, citing supply constraints Sorry Mods, title should say Q3, and tbh just Xbox/gaming. Microsoft overall has taken a bit of a tumble even with revenue and profit up in key areas:
