"provide as facts "
Where?! Again not a single fact to back ANY claims for Xbox. If you're claiming Xbox doesn't lose sales from Gamepass then again; you're failing pretty hard here. You want to claim something then you need something to back up those statements; which again you haven't offered anything that refutes or rebuttals to anything you mentioned. So again provide some FACTS if you're claiming everyone is wrong then PROVE it.
Wait how do you assume Playstation paid for any exclusivity here? It's on the Switch and Steam as well. So seems like it would be odd to pay to exclude Xbox here.
@Obscure_Observer
First thing to point out here according to Xbox they have missed their Gamepass targets 2 years in a row. As for your take on GoW is absolutely 💯 idiotic. GoW alone will generate more profit than Gamepass because they take all the profit as its a 1st party title whereas Xbox only gets a fraction as they have to split the payment to all the developers in some way.
As for the main point digital sales and subscriptions being t...
You make plenty of assured assumptions as if they're fact. None which are substantiated and without facts to back them. Again no FACTS or anything . So its truly ironic you bring up 'politicians answer' since that ironically fits you to a tee. All talk and flip flopping, but, no solid facts.
Third party sales dropping on Xbox is FACT. According to Microsoft no less.
"Microsoft says that even though Game Pass subscriptions and first-...
"politician's answer"
Says the guy who offers literally his own opinion as if it's FACT. Again where is you data to back you up?! Not a shred of evidence. No links or anything from you.
So again you're arguing for the sake of arguing and Xbox own statements and multiple links suggest you're wrong.
While true games like GoW, Spiderman, Zelda, Pokemon have long legs though. They don't need to have week 1 sales 12 months later. They just need to sell consistently. Do you think Xbox wouldn't want their games to do 10+ million sales to be idiots like you guys and say no to that?!
20 million Pokemon, 11 Million GoW in months and you think they need to worry about 12 months later? Lol. 33+ million Spiderman and 20+ million BotW. Pretty sure Nintendo and Playst...
"MS is talking about its own sales not 3rd party. 3rd party is gonna sale what it's gonna sale considering it's on other platforms. What logic are you using that's Flat out misinformation."
Really? Xbox themselves confirm drops in 3rd party sales. Quote:
"those gains are offset by a decrease in third-party game purchases."

"Last I checked Sega"
Yeah last I checked EVERY Sega game came to Playstation/Nintendo first and made all their money back. Highly doubt Sega expects any sales from Xbox fans so yeah taking a cheque that is 100% profit because they already made their money on Playstation/Nintendo is just a frugal decision.
Even their 'day 1' releases already made bank on Playstation before hand. But yeah go ahead and post all that sales data you got Pe...
Yeah pretty sure it's all about 'engagement' now, not sales. But interesting to see Phil Spencer and Xbox fans hard on the back tracking because no one can keep the story straight.
It was grating trying to explain why TLOU Remake was made for the launch of the TV series and people arguing back. This is exactly what was expected when the TV launched and people decided to buy the game as well. Like that Stat recently that suggested 30% of PS5 owners didn't have a PS4.
Probably slightly better than Nigeria depending if the prince comes through with more PS5 supplies. Saw it in Orchards links. Lol
Yeah definitely possible considering they release the PS4/Xbox One versions in April and the Switch Version in July so they're going to get boost in sales as they release twice more.
Especially when Playstations digital sales make up such a huge segment of Playstation sales. Think thr last quarterly said 51% of their revenue was digital. Plus Playstations digital sales beat Xbox console/PC and Nintendo's digital sales COMBINED.
Gamestop also had plans for buying in installments and having to buy Gamepass as well. To artificially bump up Gamepass numbers.
Wait but according to Orchard and his million links Playstation 5 has been easily found since last year?! How could that be that BOTH Europe and North America have all these increased sales to start 2023 AND record breaking last quarter for 2022?
At the same time with these sames increases too! Guess it's just some fluke and everyone probably just bought them at the same time. Probably not supply coming available as a reason, yep just a massive coincidence.
Does everyone also think COD with 70% sales are exclusive to Playstation? Or Fifa? NBA 2k? Lol. Both available for decades and STILL sell more on Playstation by at least double over their Xbox counterpart.
"Show me numbers, not percentages.
/s"
But then you know they'll move the goalpost. Pretty sure now things are failing they don't need proof because now it's about revenue even though that doesn't translate to being profit.
Also this:
"Growth in PlayStation 5 and Switch hardware spending was offset by declines across other platforms."
Oh look at that Playstatio...
Yeah pretty hilarious that supply issues weren't apparent because like you said Orchard and his thousand links. Lol. Then we see the actual sales spike up to insane sales when they actually were available. But yeah Playstation breaking the industry record and posting $8.8 billion in revenue was probably unrelated to supply issues like Orchard said. Probably just some kind of fluke that Playstation even broke their own record like 3 times too.
The best bit was the "I guarantee" like he's got any sway. Lol. Same dude who was like let's wait for Playstations sales reports and you'll see --> Playstation report comes out and they had their best quarter ever, up 53% and broke the industry record with $8.8 billion in revenue.
Hey those 'cherry picked' games sell is the point. Xbox doesn't have games that produce consistent revenue is EXACTLY the reason Gamepass exist in the first place. Let's be honest even if you pick any engagement category that's made by Xbox it wouldn't matter.
Because no game played on Xbox would be played at a high rate after 12 months. Just look at Halo Infinite for example. Those games made a lot of money though. Even when sold later heavil...
