Xbox selling less units than ever, great news to start the day.


I don't understand this statement. Is he saying Xbox had the smallest drop in spending?

If so that is probably due to the terrible prices of the Series S.
Yes.

Xbox is the 19% in Revenue... PS5 and Switch had higher drops because all consoles had drops bigger than 19%.
Again revenue talking.

Xbox already had the lower numbers to begin.
And PS5 DE increased a lot that dropped the revenue.

February 2023 was a record in units sales for a PlayStation console.

Really? That seems like something worth mentioning by Mat along all the other data, but it goes against the “consoles are dying” narrative he suddenly likes so much. Thanks for the info.

Last year… 2023.
Everybody talked about it including Mat.

While PS5 are great this year.
Xbox and Switch are dragging the industry down.
Switch because it delayed sucessor.
Xbox because it is Xbox.

-20% drop in hardware spending?

Any reason for this? I know switch is EoL so it's expected but three years in and Xbox and PS have stalled?

You mean he's laughing at Sony for making their own platform more and more irrelevant 😒

Valve isn't focing Sony to put their games on Steam. Seems to be that Valve simply has made Steam into such a good, liked and attractive platform that more and more people want to use Steam to buy and play games, Sony sees this and wants a part of the Steam revenue.

Valve doesn't care about consoles at all (stated by Gabe himself), Valve does does what they wanna do, so they are competing with the consoles by just making Steam more attractive.

Good point.

I’m just looking forward to meltdowns over that 60% steam share of the sales split for Helldivers.
