On other new a Ferrari F1 has doubled a Fiat 500 at the 24 hours of LeMans .... :P

Xbox leadership sucks, which is killing xbox. By the way , console players need
a strong xbox competition to keep Sony honest.

This is what happens when you start putting exclusives on the competition's platform, and we know MS isn't done giving the ps5 xbox games. So why would anyone buy an xbox at this point?

Einhander1972592d ago

Xbox exists to make things worse for PlayStation owners, PS1 and PS2 didn't need xbox to be two of the best consoles of all time.

Xbox is the reason Starfield and who knows what other games will be delayed or simply not released on PlayStation.

Microsoft wants to put PlayStation out of business. It's not xbox keeping PlayStation in check it's PlayStation keeping Microsoft in check.

@Jack

The base is partly to blame as well. They grew to reliant on gamepass instead of purchases.

Jingsing591d ago

There is nothing about Microsoft that is keeping anyone honest, Microsoft is making moves that make it worse for everyone not better.

anast591d ago

Yeah, you didn't think this comment through.

Cockney591d ago

They do need competition i agree but it definitely isn't xbox, we need a new entry to take their place

JackBNimble591d ago

You guy's think Sony is doing anything for the good of gamers?
Just think about what Sony would get away with if there was no competition.

Sega would've been a better comepetitor

Didn't the Dreamcast have a Windows OS. For trolls sake they kinda killed of SEGA too. Imagine It could have been Sega and Sony and not Sony and Microsoft

rlow1591d ago

Stop trying to bend the past to the current crappy narratives pushed on here. Sega did it to themselves, plain and simple. MS only jumped in after Sega failed.

CrimsonWing69592d ago

I mean, that’s like the equivalent of bragging about beating up a special needs kid.

MajorLazer592d ago

Series S/X may not even outsell the X1 🤣

Unknown_Gamer5794592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

A special needs kid with rich parents.* That clearly only goes so far though.

jwillj2k4592d ago

“A pathological lying special needs kid with narcissistic rich parents.”

Fixed

In the grand scheme of things, 58 million consoles is pretty respectable. That puts it ahead of a lot beloved consoles in the past (N64 in particular is one everyone always overestimates; it only sold about 33 million). Honestly when you think about the fact that Xbox One had atrocious marketing during its launch year (TVTVTV), there were very few compelling exclusive games on the console, it launched $100 more expensive than its primary competition (PS4), and it competed against two of the best selling systems of all time (PS4 and later on Switch), it's actually pretty impressive Xbox One almost got to 60 million.

shinoff2183592d ago

58 million isn't bad at all. Just keep in mind there wasn't nearly as many gamers back then as the Xbox ones time.

JEECE592d ago

@shinoff2183

There were enough for a console to sell 60 million (NES did). I mean, PS1 was the same gen as N64 and it sold over 100 million.

Einhander1972592d ago

I would question that 58m number, that's more consoles than AMD made chips. Xbox is likely being over tracked by around 15%.

MajorLazer591d ago

MS themselves admitted they sold less than half what the PS4 sold, so they sold fewer than 58mn. It is probably about 50-51mn.

Crows90591d ago

During the n64 times gaming was much much smaller.

MS is a huge international corporation. They're only stupid of their own making. Xbox and MS as a whole need to shape up or ship out.

Something Xbox Series X will never do.

It won't, not even with S included in the mix.

Best Adventure Game of 2025

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.

Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
