Microsoft Earnings Q4 2022

[peter42O]

What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

The reality kind. Sony is expected to be #1 but yet, will finish 2nd. What's even funnier is that it happened two generations ago too. Going into PS3 after PS2, not a single person in the world thought Sony wouldn't be #1 and what happened? They lost to Wii!!!! LMAO!!!

 

[Savant]

I wish I was doing as poorly as Xbox. Oh man. I would be retired. Oh wait, that would be a good thing. lol

You're a PERSON (mind you a random xbox troll on the internet) but still a person. Microsoft is a corporation. A corporation is not a person. You are not comparable.

Maybe that's where your issues lie. In the fact that you try to personalize microsoft, a corporation, "but microsoft is my best friend, I would love to do as good as them."

Again, microsoft is 1 of the biggest serpent AmeriKKKan companies in the world. Of course they are "doing better" than you, a person

I dont even know what the point of your "response" was. Odd response. Just because microsoft, a humanless corporate entity, is doing far above what you can ever do as a person, does not mean that the xbox division is doing great. It's in fact failing according to the numbers!

We compare corps to other corps. Not to people (xbox fans are sycophants for a corporation - there needs to be a new term for that)

Sony and Nintendo (their competitors) are leaving xbox in the dust. And even if you want to talk about the larger of microsoft, Apple>>>microsoft.

Xbox can be in 3rd place overall but Xbox will win back NA this generation and Microsoft will make much more revenue than Sony and even though Sony will most likely be ahead of Xbox, they'll still be in 2nd place behind Nintendo and Switch.

Nothing but desperate and delusional xbox fanboy cope and fantasy lol

Like Shu says, "keep dreaming"

Despite the fact that xbox "sold more" in the US for the first half of 2022, due to PS5 stock shartages, PS5 is still way ahead overall in the USA

xbots have an olympic gold medial with all the gymnastics!

"But the first half of 2022" *while ignoring PS5 stock issues

Meanwhile PS5 is still ahead overall in the US

"But America only"

Meanwhile PS5 is SLAUGHTERING xbone GLOBABLLY

"But xbox won 1 week in Japan"

While losing overall in Japan

If it's not sales not mattering when PlayStation gets stock and wins, than its goalpost moving, "but only America matters"

You xbot shills are the definition of cherry picking, selective confirmation bias, dishonesty

Here let me give you your red pill reality:

PS5 will win in the USA. Especially when PS5 stock normalizes

The fact that xbox could not even close the gap while receiving such a free gift as PS5 stock being severely hindered, that tells you everything, and shows how xbox isn't doing anything by itself.

xbox is much more available in stores. PS5 is much more in demand. Hence why xbox sits on shelves and still can't close the gap with much more stock.

When stock for PS5 normalizes its going to be an absolute slaughter for PS5 over xbox IN EVERY territory

So because microsoft and NPD like to hide the numbers, Japan tells us the full story going on

xbox has more stock in 1 week and yet only sells 6k compared to PS5 selling 2k. So as you can see, it's not a matter of xbox having any momentum or being wanted by anyone. Its simply just a matter of PS5 stock being so severely hindered that no one can buy a PS5

It's like this:

When PS5 wins an NPD they outsell xbox by 100k-500k

When xbox wins an NPD due to PS5 stock issues, they only outsell PS5 by 10k-50k

xbox sits on shelves. xbox has more stock. PS5 has wayyyyyy more demand and actually sells out when stock comes. It's like that in reality.

Keep desperately hoping for that "xbox win" though

It ain't ever happening lmao

And yep, im an Xbot but you're a PlayStation extremist but here's the funny part, despite you being the PlayStation extremist,

What people like you are, is beyond an xbox extremist, youre xbox jihadi

And the difference is I NEVER CLAIM to be neutral

While you blatant xbots always claim to be "neutral" and it's so fake and transparent

The difference is you xbots live in dishonest shilling and deception

While I'm always honest. I simply prefer PlayStation because it's way better period

The fact that you can even be a fan of xbox when xbox has no games shows you for your pathetic and blind microsoft loyailty. Your loyailty is to m$ and NOT gaming.

I'm a Playstation fan because PlayStation actually delivers

You're an xbox fan because of everything else but games. Youre an xbox fan for the corporation. We are not the same. Xbox fans are corporate cheerleaders and not real gamers

Can't wait for Microsoft to acquire the next massive publisher. Maybe Ubisoft or EA. Screw it, let's go get Take Two Interactive and GTA.

Let's do it! Than when microsoft gets disbanded for numerous antitrust violations its going to make me happy to know it made xbots like you cry!

But microsoft leaving gaming would def be better for gaming and gamers. Because all microsoft brought into gaming is FUD, extreme console wars, and an influx of astroturfers (LIKE YOU)

microsoft does nothing but cultivate and encourage xbot toxicity, so with xbox leaving, it's awful toxic fanbase would leave with them and that will be an amazing day for gaming and gamers!

But don't worry, since Sony can't afford an actual top tier valuable publisher and have to settle for table scraps,

Keep living in your xbot delusions. I will come back to this post in due time

"But but Sony is poor, how did they afford them. Wha not fair"

 

[Savant]

What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

Hahaha bro I kid you not!

I literally just said in my response to him that xbots should get gold medals for all the mental gymnastics they do lmao

Great minds think alike !

These xbots are straight nutso my bro

 

[Savant]

well if you have no first party releasing then what's the point.

Regardless of declined figures... It is still A LOT of money.

Hey!!! Some of us Xbox gamers do in fact buy games!!!

"Some" lmao, meaning a vocal minority (and even you knew that enough to use the word "some" instead)

 

[arvfab]

The reality kind. Sony is expected to be #1 but yet, will finish 2nd. What's even funnier is that it happened two generations ago too. Going into PS3 after PS2, not a single person in the world thought Sony wouldn't be #1 and what happened? They lost to Wii!!!! LMAO!!!

Wow, even Xbox people expect Xbox to be dead last AND Sony to be the No1.

And what is so funny about getting 2nd behind two of the most innovative (although outdated) consoles ever? Even more so when the Switch has been on the market for 3,5 years longer and basically includes everybody interested in a 3DS successor?

Just out of curiosity: were you also laughing when the PS1 launched, a new entry in the consoles world, and Nintendo lost to it? Going by how you write, you were probably not born yet.

It's always so funny (or sad) that Nintendo becomes relevant for you guys, whenever your precious Xbox is incapable to "fight the fight" on it's own.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Don't be so sensitive. This ain't neogaf where u get banned for criticising xbox or for saying a bad word. There was nothing disrespectful about what I said to him. I didn't attack his looks or his family. I'm giving him some good needed comedic ownage for his blatant xbox fanboysim. I'm attacking xbox and last i checked xbox is not a person with feelings. Please try and control yourself next time. Do you want this place to become another neogaf/resetera which babies and protects xbox fanboys. This ain't the safe space for them. At some point we have to grow up and shed thin skin

No, this isn't GAF. That means you can openly criticize a company, their decisions, the lack of good games, Gamepass, PS+, Phil Spencer, Jim Ryan, Xbox, PS, etc.

But you cannot say stuff like:

Wipe microsoft from your chin. It's all over your face and dripping now, you goof!

Your xbot is showing blatantly now.

This should let everyone know your opinions mean nothing! Youre an xbot!

Deal with that, know your place, and accept reality.

Contradict and criticize, but do not get personal. That's why we created this forum. No personal insults; show respect to your fellow games and forum members.

Beat me to it. Agreed.

 

[BigMclargeHuge]

Speaking of gaf, the thread over there is practically nothing but xbox fanboys spinning this as good news. I imagine this is also because they've banned everyone critical of xbox over the last year.

This isnt your forum bro. I know who owns and runs the forum, and I only bring that up to say that I know it's not you. This is not gaf or resetera. Calling someone what they are, an xbot, is not offensive. Why is that offensive? How is it offensive? Unless im misreading, youre saying im contradicting myself, right? Theres no contradiction. Just you being sensitive and easily offended for an xbox fanboy for some reason. Calm down.

I mean lets apply your own logic here. Telling me "im contradicting myself" can easily be considered a personal attack by your own standards, if we are going to go down your route. Who is anyone to draw the line where, and say what is ok and what is not. You either allow it or don't(resetera/gaf). Your all out defense of an xbox fanboy is just weird to me my man

Beat me to it. Agreed.

Lol says the xbox fanboy

Of course you "agree." So insincere

Right, before you start tooting your horn again.

May I direct you to this thread.

New PS5 owner here

I know I am the Xbox Community Cat. But I just scored a ps5 Horizon bundle. I have not had a PS since the pS3 days. Is the sub service the best way to go to play older games from this/last gen? Sorry, I am a Sony Noob :D

icon-era.com

I am a fan yes, but fanboy? I'm sorry but the only insecure one here right now is yourself.

 

[Snake29]

Speaking of gaf, the thread over there is practically nothing but xbox fanboys spinning this as good news. I imagine this is also because they've banned everyone critical of xbox over the last year.

Like i said over there:

What I mean is that xbox fanboys clearly don't care whether they release games or not. They will always find a reason to justify it to Microsoft, even if they don't release anything at all in this generation.

All they care about is that MS has to keep buying studios, but releasing games...

And all those gold name cock suckers on Gaf are the worst and continue to keep spinning everything.

Bro, the resetera thread is even worse

It's pure insanity

Resetera and neogaf are nothing but microsoft shill sites. 99% of the posters on those sites are bots and microsoft employees/microsoft astroturfers

It's sad what they did to Playstation fans. They neutered Playstation fans so bad, that the Playstation fans from those forums are afraid to even have an opinion now - and now post on those forums like if they are on a leash, being forced to try way too hard to be politically correct to xbox and xbox fanboys, meanwhile those xbot shills don't give AF about their blatant anti-playstation FUD and always dogpile the shit out of any Playstation fan on neogaf/resetera

The old neogaf use to ban the microsoft shills

At some point, microsoft bought out those forums and replaced all the admins and mods with blatant microsoft shills.

I noticed the change during the time the PS4 PRO released.

@Heisenberg007 , he just called me insecure. That's a personal attack according to your own standards. Let's see if you are consistent in your nagging and standards. Or do you only pester Playstation fans like neogaf/resetera do

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I get that it's a coping mechanism, but still. Damn.

 

[Savant]

I get that it's a coping mechanism, but still. Damn.

What "cope" do I need?

Playstation isn't last place. Your inferior plastic toy xbox is. Playstation has games. Your xbox doesn't. You need the cope! I dont need to cope with anything. I just got Forbidden West!!!

Like I said earlier, xbox fans don't care about games, and don't care about anything related to gaming, you're simply just corporate cheerleaders for xbox, and that's why I say xbox fans aren't real gamers/fans of gaming

While Playstation fans love Playstation because of actual gaming/games

 

[Bernd Lauert]

What "cope" do I need?

You need to cope with Xbox' incredible success, apparently. Or you wouldn't have to make up stories in your head about how everyone who likes Xbox is a paid shill.

Playstation isn't last place. Your inferior plastic toy xbox is.

Nope, Xbox is not in last place. Also, what is Playstation made of if not out of plastic? Weird flex.

Playstation has games. Your xbox doesn't.

My Xbox has way too many games. I don't have enough time to play them all.

You need the cope! I dont need to cope with anything. I just got Forbidden West!!!

Congratulations on your Ubisoft game.

 

[Savant]

I always found it weird/suspect how quick resertera was ready to go after the "neogaf controversy"

That means that resetera was already being worked on/planned well before than

And isn't it funny how the people behind resetera just happened to be xbox fanboys

They needed to discredit the old neogaf (which didn't allow xbots and microsoft shills to create their narratives) so that they could position their new windows central as the "new replacement for neogaf" while masquerading as neutral

Reminds me of how microsoft sends their top executive to Activision and than buys Activision.

Only m$ has that scumbag evil history

 

[Savant]

You need to cope with Xbox' incredible success, apparently.

"Incredible success"

Goodness you xbots are delusional and have NO SHAME


https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/xbox-consoles-have-never-turned-a-profit-for-microsoft/

Microsoft has always sold Xbox consoles at a loss, an executive confirmed during the Epic Games v. Apple trial on Wednesday, as previously reported by Business Insider. An Epic lawyer asked Microsoft's vice president of Xbox business development, Lori Wright, about what profit margins the company has on its sales of console units.

"We don't -- we sell the consoles at a loss," she replied, before confirming that Microsoft has never earned a profit on console sales.

"Incredible success" yet while widely available is still getting significantly outsold by a stock limited PS5 lmao

The only one who's salty and trying to cope with that reality is you

"But but xbox is still 'winning' "

You xbots live Iin alternate realities

Or you wouldn't have to make up stories in your head about how everyone who likes Xbox is a paid shill.

PS1 - 102million sold
PS2- 158million sold
PS3 - 87million sold
PS4- 116million sold
PS5- 20million sold

Playstation has sold 483 million consoles


xbox - 24mill sold
xbox 360 - 85mill sold
xbox1 - 50mill sold
xboneS&X - 12mill sold

xbox has sold 171mill consoles lmao


Playstation has sold 312million more consoles than xbox has

Playstation has sold almost 5x as much, nearly 5-1 over xbox access their history

So in the real world, take 5 gamers, and 4 in every 5 have have bought a Playstation and not an xbox. That's hugely significant

When you look at the real world, Playstation dominates gaming culture and dominates gaming fandom

The vast majority in the real world are Playstation fans (not xbox fans) and that's proven by the sales, so for neogaf/resetera to not reflect that reality, proves everything

Resetera/neogaf are tiny bubbles/xbox echo chambers not reflective of reality

So when you have 4 out of every 5 being Playstation owners/Playstation fans, and yet resetera/neogaf are 99% proxbox, that's not reflective of reality, and its completely fake and insincere i.e the amount of "xbox love" on forums is completely fake and not reflective of reality based on real world performance metrics

And we know that's true because only 1 company has a scummy history of FUD and astroturfing...

Microsoft astroturfers exposed shilling xbox

Nope, Xbox is not in last place.

Again xbots literally living in an alternate reality lmao

Show me the evidence that shows me they are in 1st or 2nd LTD

My Xbox has way too many games. I don't have enough time to play them all.

Yeah, have fun renting all that gamepass filler for 180$ a year lmao

Congratulations on your Ubisoft game.

You've clearly never played it
