But but but.... Consoles are dyyyyyying!
Xbox is ahead of the curve, they're thinking about the fuuuuture...
And assorted other cope.
I hope to see ambitious sales targets for 2024 and 2025, no need to slow down.

ABK must be worth about 3/4 to 1/2 of what MS paid for them at this stage. God, what a terrible business decision that was. I bet they seriously regretted it the moment they had to give up exclusivity.
I think they may have been regretting it even before that. They bought on track record and IP catalog, then the new stuff flopped hard and the legacy IP have been in the deep freeze for so long nobody knows how to revive them.
Honestly, Activision was a white elephant for MS, but even knowing this now, if I knew 3 years ago I would STILL have been opposed to the world's largest software publisher being allowed to buy out the world's largest games publisher on principle, even disregarding MS' long, documented history of anticompetitive practices and illegal actions.

Not a bad Top 20 outside Fifa double dips.
Diablo IV did extremely well all things considered. I'm actually surprised by that performance, specially engagement. The grind does pay off I guess - as much as I hate it.

Realistically, it couldn't be managed much worse. Look at the legendary IP Activision owned that have been MIA for decades. River Raid, Pitfall and others from the 1980s and not seen since the failed Pitfall revival of the PS1 era as well as more recent ones like Crash, Spyro, Guitar Hero all thrown away to quintuple down on Call of Duty, which has started its collapse.
Activision was a zombie company, upright only due to momentum and just waiting for the first big flop to kill it. Then we got Diablo IV and COD 2023 as a 1-2 punch of franchise damage. If Acti was still independent, their stock value would be collapsing.
People are just wildly reactionary on the internet.
PC gets a few good years where it is outgrowing consoles and suddenly consoles are obsolete and they're on their way out.
Consoles aren't even shrinking in term of total units, it's just that other markets(mobile as well) are growing faster.
If I actually still give a shit about Starfield by the time all that comes to pass, it will have been worth $38 lol. i think the trick is to buy at the trough, before the fixes. like how I got Cyberpunk on PS4 for $10.

Well, I would say that if you remove Xbox and just compare PlayStation to PC, PlayStation is probably on par or faster growing than pc.
That's just a guess though.
I mean, putting all that dead weight on PlayStations back, makes console look weaker than it is imo.
Considering what that abbreviation commonly refers to, you may not want to shorten Cyberpunk’s title.
I've always had a console and a pc since at least 2000. for most of that time there were distinctive reasons to own both. Two things are changing that: consoles and pcs are practically the same; AAA game sales potential has exploded since GTAV, beyond the sustainability of any one console.
