So many in the Xbox camp like Gaz got royally played by Satya. They thought the ABK and Zenimax acquisition were a sign that Xbox was back to competing but more importantly that those titles were going to be taken off PlayStation and that they were going to enjoy ponies tears. Welp, the reality is it was all part of Satya's goal to move the Xbox brand into full 3rd party publishing and treating PS and Nintendo like first class citizens over their own. :ROFLMAO:

TBH, Gaz and the rest of the Xtards should be grateful that Satya didn't go in there and just totally close down everything Xbox related after the merger - he would have been well in his right to given how much of a catastrophe this has become thanks to Phil. Satya at least gave all these dumbassess a lifeline to keep their little dumb followings and youtube channels for a little bit longer.
 
A Xbox showcase this year that was dubbed as having "E3 vibes" couldn't even move the needle for hardware sales and will continue to decline as stated by the CFO Amy Hood. A glorious disaster this has been for Xbox.

It’s been over a decade since Xbox year after year "dominated E3," "had the best show of the year," or "is set to dominate the industry after an impressive show." And yet, here we are.

What games in particular warranted that much glazing? It wasn't bad but just okay. Doom was the best showing imo, and that turn based game.

This year will be all good do MS even with the hardware collapsing because the added Activision revenue will make they will be up every single month double digit percent compared with last year.

So that big revenue increase will cover the hardware disaster until next year when the comparison will already include Activision for both years and so we will have a better ideia of how much they lose overall.
 

When you run commercials left and right saying NO CONSOLE REQUIRED, the dads, moms and grandmas of the world along with the rest of the casual consumers are going to ignore your hardware when shopping for gaming devices. And when you showed up on podcasts with your mug staring straight into the camera and say making great games won't move hardware well guess what? Us the hardcore gamers are going to take that to heart and tell you "ok fuck you then. I am not going to play on your hardware. Guess my money my support doesn't matter to you guys." The Ryan, Destin and Parris of the world should have seen this coming sooner but of course we know why they didn't.
