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.
Xbox is on track to knock Sony PlayStation down to third place for the first time in history

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 all
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 longer

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.
Double counted
Doesn’t include hardware revenue
Full of other sales mistakes
That analysts doesn’t know what they’re doing. So of course a MS shill would make an article about it.
Misleading all around.

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.
The only actual momentum for the brand and growth is at PlayStation, Xbox is declining pretty badly even with inflated revenues due to acquisition. It’s actually so embarrassing for xbox to post results like they do in npd when they bought two of the biggest North American publishers and they are in decline while their direct competitor is taking huge market share in America
They are making that revenue by selling games on Playstation 
Sony makes their revenue almost exclusively on their own platform.

SIE revenue also dont include mobile gaming division which is under Aniplex (subsidiary of Sony Music Japan). They generate around a billion a year.
Fucking Jez Corden being a poop-neuron brainlet as always. Why are we giving this dude clicks/attention?
A great example of quantity over quality. Imagine telling anyone Apple is better gaming company than Nintendo.
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.
With combined Activision and Xbox revenues, Sony PlayStation may be looking at a third-place spot behind Microsoft for the first time.

Well, this Q3 with monster sales of PS5 and games like Spider-Man 2 pretty likely MS will go back to 3rd position.
We also have to remember that as soon as ABK games start to land on GP -specially day one for the new games- the ABK revenue will drop. And well, if some game end being console exclusive their revenue will drop even more.
Well both MS+ABK and Sony now will make around $25B/year aprox, but the market is >180B.
Meaning, both only have a market share of under 15% and even aren't market leaders in the global gamin market. So market regulators pretty likely wouldn't do anything about it.
But well, if the EU regulator sees that Sony beats MS in the high end console market with a 80%-20% or 90%-10% in EU market share then they may say that a big acquisition on Sony's side could be too abusive.

Don’t see the point in discussing this. None of it is accurate.
This was Microsoft's subliminal way of telling Xbox fans that the only way Xbox will overtake, surpass or knock down Sony is in their dreams.
