I like the way the fanboys are using this logic to prop Xbox up and finally admit it was dog shit all of these years at the same time.
Oh wow, that is so pathetic of him.
New lows all the time.
What’s even more funny is how Microsoft used newzoo when acquiring activ/bliz to show that Sony would still be ahead even before Sonys bigger forecast and growth. That included hardware revenue. But now since the deal is closed the metrics which newzoo made are now changing to try and build a narrative. Very convenient and not suspicious at allI like how jez doesn’t add anything journalistic wise to the graph shown, instead a clickbaity headline which isn’t true. It’s like they skew everything to try and create a narrative which isn’t there. This quarter alone Sony brought in $6.6 billion, this graph tells me this is removing all hardware revenue, something jez conveniently confuses with his headline. ‘Sony PlayStation’ as jez puts it, is tracking to have a $28 billion fiscal year. Microsoft would be $16 billion and then roughly ~$8 billion activision/blizz if it was a full year. He even puts in his article that Microsoft is forecasting a 50% increase next quarter with the inclusion of activ/bliz, one bit of journalism would have shown that still isn’t near what PlayStation would make next quarter.
that's literally all he ever does, piggyback off of others work with zero real journalism, just fanboy drivel. And he says the same thing five different ways just to make the article longerI like how jez doesn’t add anything journalistic wise to the graph shown, instead a clickbaity headline which isn’t true.

It just annoys me how all the supposed ‘analysts’ on Twitter act blind to the actual data. They continue to eat Microsoft’s spin and credit Microsoft’s vision and success when the reality is the growth of Xbox is purely down to huge acquisition fees. Microsoft’s actual vision of series s, cloud, gamepass and etc have been completely proven wrong by Sony this generation, feels like analysts who doubted Sony early this gen and projected 360 sales for Xbox are still trying to avoid themselves been held accountable for being very wrong.Microsoft are masters of changing metrics and trying to spin the narratives.
They switch from one metric to another, like someone changes clothes and I find it bizarre that no investors call them out.
At one point gamepass subs was all that mattered, until they were not growing enough and then it turned to engagement. It's all so unreliable, can't believe anything they say.
With combined Activision and Xbox revenues, Sony PlayStation may be looking at a third-place spot behind Microsoft for the first time.

Well both MS+ABK and Sony now will make around $25B/year aprox, but the market is >180B.If anything wouldn’t this help Sony justify a publisher acquisition of their own to regulators? If they’re third then there is no reason to deny anything.
