"The older games never got this kind of hype ever."
My point is the hype was earned. The game sold almost 40 million and was one of the GOTY when it was released. No other Spiderman game was given to a top tier studio till Insomniacs took over.
All the previous games didn't deserve to be hyped and weren't because if you look at all the games before were made by Activisions B or C team called Beenox. Activision didn't build on prev...
Really you think hype alone can bring in over 33 million in sales? Probably over 40 million sales by now.

Please explain why none of the previous Spiderman games available to much larger audiences tied to big movies didn't even come close in sales then? Becaus...
To be fair it was just 1 guy making the game originally. I think it's a team now albeit a small one.
Remember no one made you be here. You're free to leave
"They release a critically acclaimed game and get shot down"
Again you're defending Xbox when it's their fault for not doing enough. Calling people Ponies doesn't change the fact that even Xbox fans are exasperated. I have owned every Xbox system up the to current gen. I have a huge 360 game collection. It's night and day what I have bought since then. That's Xbox dropping the ball. They have to give me and every person who owns an Xbox ...
Making it personal? Sorry if you want to call people ponies then expect push back. If I call you an idiot then push back would be expected no? Don't expect respect if you don't give it. Whine somewhere else.
"NEVER please a fanboy with the goalposts always moving, notably"
You're making imaginary goalpost and cherry picking. You mention Hi Fi Rush for example. How often do these type of games release on Xbox? Not often enough...
Hit up IGN and go see the ridiculous amount of Xbox comments from their Xbox fans. The point I was trying to get at was that Xbox already had more studios before their recent purchase, 20+ years and far more resources. They can afford a $70 billion purchase then they can easily afford to just make games.
They could honestly have a 100 studios, but, they need someone to manage their studios and resources properly.
As for assumptions about you? Well y...
"same tired people with the same tired narrative."
Uhh so excuse yourself for the stupid excuses being made for Xbox? Why does Xbox even need more studios when they can't even manage to release games 3 years in? Weren't you talking about moving goalpost?! So why does Xbox get the pass when BOTH their competitors in Playstation and Nintendo release FAR more games with LESS studios might I add?
Such BS when you got your own stupid narra...
Nah same bullshit excuses by idiots thinking Playstation can outbid Xbox which is absolutely 💯 ridiculous.
Imagine telling a developer hey you have a ton of power to make games really graphically intensive then remind them their game still needs to run on the S. Seriously it would be absolutely pointless to do.
Well apparently Blizzard doesn't have a monopoly on that. Ubisoft wants to emulate incomplete games and a million battle passes.
Playstation support systems for 10 years generally. Somehow 3 years is almost half ?!
What the articles propping up Gamepass aren't enough? Lol
Opinion? Go ahead name those AAA Xbox games. Lol
Well sorry you're making dumb excuses for why Xbox doesn't have games which stretch back 7 years since the Xbox One.
Playstation ACTUALLY follows through with releasing spectacular games regularly. Can you say the same about Xbox? Nope.
Both Playstation and Nintendo both have great track records and are consistent. Xbox doesn't even deserve to be mentioned.
From Software is owned by Kadokawa though. So Sony can't really buy them

Actually From Software owns the rights. So no Activision doesn't own it and therefore Microsoft definitel...
Sparky doesn't need to be bright! Dim bulbs only for the Spark
A lot of Xbox fans think there's lots of big purchases to come and I think that won't happen again. They forget the only reason this counted as a vertical movement was because Microsoft was moving into mobile gaming.
They have like 60 studios now so they can't do that again. There's no new thing any publisher can offer them that they don't already have.
Well revenue Playstation absolutely destroys Nintendo. Eshop doesn't even do a 10th of what Playstation store does.
