this seems inflated by Tweak Town, they counted Starfield because it’s potentially a billion dollar franchise?

Tweaktown are definitely unreliable and have been caught quite a few times helping Xbox with their image, using figures / phrasing and other methods that really flatter Xbox and it's place in gaming.

Flight sim is a billion dollar franchise?

Bethesda smooth-brains are defending Starfield to the death in the Steam forums and this latest 'Billion dollar revenue' spin in all the press is openly feeding their delusions. It really is sad.

I kept telling them that successful games don't obfuscate their sales by folding them into the whole Company's overall performance projections. They would be shouting from the mountain tops how well it was selling if it really was as successful as they claim it too be. The cope is way to real.

All I see there are a bunch of potential dead IP. The Mida$ touch.

Trust and believe.

It used to be EA that was the graveyard.... now....

Yep I still see Xbox fanboys making the claim that "Xbox makes more profit than PlayStation" because of the fake graph that he put out. Even though he admitted he was wrong, the damage was done and they're still clinging on to it

If he even took 5 seconds to do some actual research, he would've known he was wrong. So now I know to never trust anything he says again

Yeah, they took that one and ran a million miles and they are still running.

Forrest Gump is the perfect representation of the intellect of a lot of Xbox fanboys.

Half of those are dead IP but Sony needs to get off their butt and get some more well known ip.
