You people do realize that what he said here has been said years ago, right? He's just repeating the same info.

Sony even created a mobile division last year (?). His "more platforms" comment specifically mentions cloud, PC and mobile, the same things they've been harping on about since the start of the gen.

But now that xbox is going 3rd party, it gets blown out of proportion as a SonyToo coping mechanism.

34M is 1M below my range that was even stipulated to only be possible if there was no decline in Gold subs. What are you on about.
1 below the range, but 3.5m below the middle of your range. That's 10% less. We know you overestimate Xbox figures in general so we can safely lop off 10% off your absurdly high HW 'estimates'.

Despite what he’s saying the ps5 is like 60 dollars off all across the UK and Europe right now. Wonder if the US or japan will have one soon?

Edit: is Buddy seriously arguing that Xbox is some how at 34 million? The take 2 ceo implied it was in the low 20s. If anyone would know installed based, it’s the ceo of the grand theft auto company.

34M is GP (now also counting the people who had Gold and not GP). Xbox Series is at 22.2M.

Yes, what he mentions is their current strategy:
  • PC ports of old games, very profitable
  • GaaS, some of them in PC to maximize userbase specially at launch, bigger ROI than non-GaaS titles
  • Mobile (they are still working on it) mostly via partners with external top mobile devs and publishers, higher ROI and bigger userbase than console
  • PC store (they are still working on it and may need a big PC catalog before starting it), to avoid the steam 30%
  • Game streaming in mobile, smart tvs and PS Portal to increase userbase, MTX and hours played per user (WIP)
  • Several cheap investment in some Asian 2nd party games with potential to be pretty profitable like Stellar Blade

Yes, some things can be lost in translation. But they can still be explained to a much similar degree so the word or meaning can make sense to other languages.

I'll drop it, but I stand by what I said.
Redemption my brother 😂😂alot was lost in translation!
Go ask him. Tell him to translate it and I guarantee you it won’t be identical to this English translation.

Isn’t this the same English Translation which was debunked by a Japanese guy which said the “PS5 is in the latter stage of its life” when in fact in meant the “PS5 is in the Latter half of its life

See the difference. That’s translation for you. Never 100%.

You were nit picking every English word.

"synergy", "in the past, we wanted to popularize console" , "not only with our console, but also other platforms, like computers." , "First party can be grown with multi-platforms and that can help operating profit to improve."

Ridiculous.

The xbots have been in the doldrums ever since Spencer made it official that Xbox was going to be a third-party publisher, and he's given his own community of degenerates a good, hard slap in the face.

They're so desperate that they're hoping Sony will do the same, they'll do anything, starting with misinformation and spreading fud. Being dishonest is all they know how to do.

They are trying but Xbox just gets put deeper into a pit.
