100%!! This is the real answer.

Next up: Why having fewer exclusives, having anemic sales and not being popular around the globe is good for the brand in the long run...

If they think the PS5s "continued commitment" to exclusives is bad then I can't wait to hear what they think about the distant 3rd "competitor"....Must be a dumpster fire turd covered in burnt hair, but of course we'll never hear that criticism from our beloved journos...

They already are. We better wait for next gen...

''Bingo? You said this was dead in the water more than once if I recall.''
Never said it was dead in the water, feel free to look for that comment if you like, as a matter of fact, I was rooting for this deal to go through just because I can't wait to see how hilarious, lame and embarrassing MS/xbox is gonna look after spending all those billions just to continue to be the most irrelevant gaming platform, 3rd in market share and its anemic hardware/software sales....

$Bingo!$

$77 bil including Bethesda. It seems not a single iota will be given and all is left to say for some is the typical excuse phrase...''Wait for next gen''... Every gen we have this delusional cycle/loop.

The spanking continues regardless...

''Microsoft is the biggest cancer in gaming history.''
Not only in gaming but in everything they touch. After 20 yrs in the gaming market, MS got tired of their gaming division being an afterthought around the world so now they're hoping to control gaming like they do in the PC/Office space because they know it's the only way to gain a forced popularity. None of this will matter though, they will continue to trail in all departments behind Ninty and Sony. Sit ...

And they will turn it to shit just like Disney is doing. I'll be watching and enjoying the whole show.

Keep insulting people for no reason and wonder why you get the hammer. Smfh.

You're absolutely 100% correct but my only advice to you is get a front row seat ticket like I did, relax and enjoy how the circus and drama show unfolds. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

The most embarrassing thing about all this is Phil/MS spending 70bil just to continue to be the most irrelevant gaming platform on the planet and not even be able to move up in the market share department and having the most anemic hardware/software sales in the industry. The word lame has a new meaning...

Don't waste your precious time, the only thing that they need to acknowledge is that PS will continue to be the market leader with the most hardware/software sales and the platform of choice for most home console gamers around the globe. Each and every month the gap will continue to grow to embarrassing levels and that's something that hurts them a lot;)

@SaltyPonies aka the green minion who just made an alt account because he got triggered...
I'd be salty if I was a fan of the most irrelevant gaming platform on the planet but since I'm on PS it's all good;)

Nothing will change, MS/Xbox will continue to be last in market share, last on hardware/software sales and most importantly last on popularity around the globe.
You can mark this post for future reference if you like.

Yup, best part of all of this.

MS/xbox will continue to be the most irrelevant gaming platform on the planet, 3rd in software/hardware sales and last on market share. Nothing's gonna change.

🤣👍

It never fails, every time the popularity, hardware/software sales and best games conversation topics come up they get triggered and upset. Weird enough, all they care as gamers is how many trillion$ MS has in the bank.
