I mean it probably costs more to operate in the region than what they make

Why only in the Middle East? MS gotta be bold and do it worldwide.

Hopefully Europe and Japan next.

No one buys their consoles here. Only X360 was popular.

Fingers crossed they do this in every region

Any data for PS5. I believe it is selling much more than PS4.

It is all just a card house.
People expected to play the latest and greates games for $9,99/month, but that won't happen.

MS made a false promise to them, and now will be hold accountable for their failure.

Will they though? By whom? The media?
Where are the scathing IGN articles? Are Eurogamer going to criticize MS?

The US is basically their last bastion of "fans".

If you look outside of that region, there is very little enthusiasm for xbox left.

In Asia or MENA it might aswell not exist.

No sales data for the PS5, but we do know that the Saudi market is booming and becoming an important market for Sony during this PS5 gen (Ranked 11th just behind Spain and Italy, to March 31, 2022).
