Its hilarious when everyone says that no one buys games on Xbox and yet their fans are in so much denial. They ask why companies turn down Xbox for Playstation and Nintendo instead. When Xbox and Microsoft point out in their own quarter and annual sales and specifically cite dropped 3rd party sales.
Just look at these links. That 2021 and 2022 back to back years where 3rd party sales dropped. When in the pandemic everyone's sal...
Find it funny this constantly is brought up and Xbox fans are in denial.

Except how can you be in denial when Xbox/Microsoft themselves in multiple reports show that 3rd party sales have fallen off a cliff?! It's steep enough to be mentioned in quarterly reports?! This isn't ...
Plus let's be honest the vast majority of their sales are Nintendo and Playstation by far. I would bet PC sales even beat Xbox sales too.
Legit shocked. That list is mediocre and that the idiot genes might be passed on. 730 smoking something for sure.
How does Sony outpace Xbox if Xbox purchases have them currently at 23 studios when Sony only has 18?!
That makes no sense though. Xbox tracks players stats since they now depend on showing 'player engagement' to shareholders and the players. Suddenly Xbox isn't showing any player stats for the 1st time in many years and coincidentally it's during this FTC challenge?!
That's a massive coincidence don't you think?!
Yeah I feel like 2024 would be more likely. Regardless hope we see more of Avowed. Was really intrigued by the little bit we did see (although I'm not sure that was actual gameplay). Pretty much that whole list is of some interest to me so might be an expensive year. Lol
@Eonjay
Other facts that get ignored. Some idiots bring up COD, Fortnite and Apex being billion dollar games. But Sony don't own those games. They take 30% by industry standard so that's $300 million revenue only for Playstation.
Whereas with 1st party games Sony/Playstation take 100% of sales as their own. GoW in 2019 confirmed $500 million revenue and at that point had sold about 10 million copies as of 2022 with PC sales they are up to 23...
Again the only false logic here is this. Regardless of stock being available. The point is you don't know how much stock is available. So it's disingenuous and stupid to think that you can make a claim like the stock situation is solved when you do NOT know the numbers.
Also the U.S. is only a fraction of Playstation sales worldwide. They are pulling stock to supply a big market does NOT mean the stock situation has stabilized. That like saying you plugged t...
@Orchard
"The only regular billion dollar games on PS today are Fortnite, Apex & COD/Warzone."
Ouch it really sucks you're so misinformed. GoW launched in 2018 and by 2019 pulled in over $500 million in revenue when it was at 10 million sales. It's moved over 23+ million now. So it's easily passed $1+ billion in revenue.
Horizon Zero Dawn in 2019 was over $400 million in revenue when it was at 8 million sale...
"Is false logic. You cannot judge supply like that. Do you know how many units Sony keeps for their own retail stores VS ships to Gamestop etc? No."
So you know how many units are available then?! If the answer is no then STFU. Seriously stop pretending like you know the logistics of where and how many units are available. Go ahead though prove everyone wrong how many units EXACTLY are available since you claim to know better than everyone else.
Maybe let Orchard know that Playstation SP games just make Expansions to fill the gap. It's not like TLOU, Horizon or Spiderman had any Expansions that could bring more profit in and fill in the gap and increase sales till the new games were released right?! Oh wait they all had one.
@Orchard
Absolutely 💯 idiotic logic. GoW 23+ million. Spiderman 33+ million. Horizon Zero Dawn 20+ million. TLOU 20+ million.
No they don't have to do live service games to draw consistent profit. People purchasing Playstation 5 to play exclusives already is consistent profit. Because those people not only buy other Playstation exclusives, they buy accessories, Plus membership, PSN store games. Yeah there are GT, GoW and Horizon bundles...
Money does talk. GoW Ragnarok sales will be huge. The 1st GoW sold 23+ million copies. Which Xbox games sold even 10 million in the last decade?! NONE. Playstation has plenty of great single player games. Spiderman 2 is bound to top GoW and sell 30+ million too. TLOU, Horizon all moved 20+ million. Uncharted 4 most likely did as well since it was at 16+ million in 2019 before being re-release

Is Avowed actually dated for 2023? That would be a nice surprise if it were. Lots of interesting stuff on the list though.
Xbox issue is themselves though. Them making stupid decisions and mismanaging their own studios is on themselves. Playstation and Nintendo have built up franchises since the PS3/Wii. It's not Sony or Nintendos fault Xbox didn't do the same.
Since that time Sony/Nintendo have built up or made new franchises like Uncharted, TLOU, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, GoW, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Splatoon, Zelda etc into the juggernaughts they are while Xbox...
To be fair mocking crossgen aside. It's not like Xbox blazed the last 2 years full of releases. So I wouldn't call what they released as 'support'. To support a generation you ACTUALLY have to release games you know.
" If Ninja Theory are firing on all cylinders then this really has the potential to be a God of War Ragnarok killer."
😆 🤣 😂. Hellblade released on every system can't even come close to even 1/10th of GoW sales.

And you think Hellblade 2 will come close?! Lol
...
WB would NOT make Xbox competitive with Playstation in any way whatsoever. Warner Bros already said many times their studio sales will NOT include IPs. They would make way more money licensing Harry Potter, Batman, Mortal Kombat, Lego and DC go companies.
Xbox already has enough IPs sitting around already with Bethesdas purchase like Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein, etc. Plus they're doing a Fallout series and already have Halo TV series as well.
Lol. What? They didn't dominate anything. Back to back year with revenue drops citing huge decline in 3rd party game sales too. Even with Gamepass revenue they are losing sales each year.
