    Xbox Four Xbox Games are going multiplatform (Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush). Starfield and indiana Jones not coming to other platforms

    People who say it's only 4 games are missing the point. It's probably only the beginning, because if the goal was actually selling small games like Pentiment, it wouldn't move the needle at all financially so it wouldn't make sense. What will definitely help them financially is selling AAA...

    News Playstation backed studio Deviation games hit with layoffs

    Dreams rated 89 on metacritic, not 56 like Redfall or most GamePass trash, so not sure what's your point here lol. Unless you wanted to agree with me Sony games are great and Xbox games are trash. Destruction allstars was a very very rare miss, but it was a minor game nobody cared about, not...

    News Playstation backed studio Deviation games hit with layoffs

    Whatever, it wasn't a Sony studio. And even if it was, cancelling a few projets is the way it works when you only want superior quality. Some games will be good enough to release, others will get cancelled. That's why Sony means quality as a publisher, and Xbox doesn't. They know when a game is...

    Xbox Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

    That's actually even worse because the way CMA has answered means ANY other similar huge deal would be rejected too for the same reason (like EA because of Fifa or Take Two because of GTA). Since buying the market was the last chance to turn things around for Xbox and they get destroyed in sales...

    Xbox Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

    The deal is 100% dead. Appealing CMA never works because even if you do and you win (which won't happen since there's no ground to win here as CMA smartly focused on cloud gaming, where the decision was obvious), it goes back to CMA and they have no reason to change their mind.

    Discussion Which Sony studio will close next?

    I don't know, but Xbox is for sure the next gaming brand to close shop. Hardware sales down 30 %, GP subscribers missing target after target by a good margin, GP losses mounting, and Actibliz deal failure... Even Phil Spencer looks so depressed you have to wonder if he'll commit suicide before...

    PC 1st party PlayStation PC games helped Sony generate $2.5 billion from its Other segment, a new all-time high.

    More often than not, you now get stuttering and shitty ports on PC, so no it's not the best version of every game you get. And you need a PC which costs 5 times the whole console to make the games run decently, which is a bit absurd. The Last of Us part 1 remake best version is on PS5.

    Analysis Redfall | Review Thread

    Gamepass seal of quality strikes again. So many 60 and 70 rated games I actually lost count. Who wants to subscribe and dive in an ocean of mediocrity? Not many people it seems.

    Good news. You can't buy your way to monopoly. It's bad for everybody. Well done, CMA.

    Discussion Threads about Gamepass in forums are seemingly nonexistent nowadays

    I think people don't care so much about subscriptions, which is also what I thought day one. Most people don't have time to play so many games anyway. they have kids and jobs. They want the best games, they don't care about getting hundreds of mostly average and unimpressive games. People either...

    Xbox Microsoft Earnings Call - FY23Q3 | 4% decline for MS Gaming, Xbox HW down 30%

    Yes, that's definitely the trick in those numbers. They look okay because 35 % of their users are actually playing on PlayStation. But unless they want to become a 3rd party publisher, that's hardly healthy for GP and Xbox brand...

    Xbox Microsoft Earnings Call - FY23Q3 | 4% decline for MS Gaming, Xbox HW down 30%

    Supply constrained my ass. Both Series S and Series X are available everywhere, just checked on Amazon US and in European countries too. Xbox hardware sales are abysmal, a 30 % drop at the start of a generation generally means the console is already half dead.

    Discussion I legitimately feel bad for Xbox only owners

    That guy really wants to brag for paying 5 times more than what the others paid to play the same games everybody already played but in worse version and years later. Achievement unlocked. We have a new Nobel Prize on here. :LOL: I've got a good PC on top of my PS5 but really stop that, you...

    News Xbox Fans Call On Bethesda To Delay Redfall Until 60FPS Is Ready

    Whatever, Sony wins here since they make tons of money, Xbox loses money and still has a tiny world market share. :LOL: Every studio they buy is more money lost for them, as GP subscribers are still very low. Fine by me. MS will get bored losing money before I get bored playing the best games...

    News Xbox Fans Call On Bethesda To Delay Redfall Until 60FPS Is Ready

    I'll give €10 to MS (for 3 months of PC GP) while you already paid hundreds of dollars to Sony by buying their games on PC. So it's a lot more like "Sony thanks you for your patronage right now." ;) Basically, I don't even see how MS could get profitable ever with GP. They killed their own...

    News Xbox Fans Call On Bethesda To Delay Redfall Until 60FPS Is Ready

    I can only talk for myself, but I certainly won't buy Starfield when I can just subscribe for 1 month of GP PC. That's definitely what I will do. It's €10 for 3 months here in France. So I have to agree with Dodrake here, I have trouble seeing where the huge sales will come from. PC and Xbox...

    Discussion I legitimately feel bad for Xbox only owners

    PC Stutter Race is in Copium mode these days. That's what happens when you pay $3000 and still run the same games worse and sometimes even several years later. You desperately try to justify the cost. Graphically nothing comes close games like Burning Shores. But modern PC can't even run The...

    Discussion I legitimately feel bad for Xbox only owners

    Splits on RE were like 70% PlayStation and 15% pc so more people seem to agree with me. Gpu sales are down badly too, around 40 % if I remember correctly. So times are only changing in your head. Or if they're changing, people are just abandoning Pc. Games don't stutter on consoles and do...
