Bet you're fine with MS spending 80 billion to attempt to monopolise the industry though right? Hypocrite, glad it's completely blown up in MS' face.
I'm sure the alt will rush in with either a touch of b-but sony whataboutism, the nintendo shield, or some other nonsense lmao.
But this is so much worse than I thought, studios closed, multiple big projects cancelled, there's word going around the Perfect Dark gameplay was basically scripted and fake, this is really bad.
So they spent 80 billion on many studios and publishers, just to end up with xbox consoles selling even worse, gamepass stagnat...
Charging 25 for the 'upgrade', with no new boards or minigames for party game is laughable, a huge L. The lack of minigames is the biggest drawback for me.
Yep, the alt is already on full damage control, b but Sony lol.
@operation
Yet the biggest idiots on the site are the Xbox zealots, like the alt spamming articles daily with his endless accounts lol.
Ignore the alt, he's just holding up a Nintendo shield to deflect from 2 disastrous gens in a row for Xbox.
yeah nothing is gonna dethrone nintendo in japan, especially if there's a handheld involved.
I didn't play DS1 until last year as it just didn't look like my thing at all, but I'm all in now, surprisingly enjoyed it and this is going to be even better I bet.
This is really stupid and just baffling, the explanation for it is also a big non answer, very disappointing.
"Again, MS doesn´t care if their new console will sell well or not"
Honestly this is just a stupid fanboy cope take to deal with atrocious series sales. What happens to all the gamepass subs if the new console/pc or whatever it is doesn't sell? Just think about that for a minute, of course MS want it to sell.
How can you sit there with a straight face and be happy with a potential 1000+ system? It will be dead on arrival at that price ...
@reaper.
Microsoft don't reveal Xbox profits, sales numbers, or gamepass numbers, I wonder why that is?
You call Sony dishonest but at least they don't hide and obfuscate meaningful playstation numbers like MS do with Xbox.
They helped a lot with development to shape the game it became, it's not your typical MS throw money at the wall and hope it sticks type of deal that usually doesn't work out.
The fact it isn't being considered for Xbox should tell you all you need to know.
They kinda have to, regardless of how poorly SX/S is selling, they can't just dump most of their gamepass subs, turns out console sales are important.
Edit: and nah I never claimed they'd drop hardware, most of their gamepass subs come from console as most PC players stick to steam, getting rid of console completely would be a bad idea, regardless of how horribly it's been selling this gen.
If it ain't on gamepass, they ain't interested.
Great job MS for training most of your player base to not want to actually buy games, maybe SE will realise releasing FF on xbox isn't somehow going to help them match their exaggerated sales targets. Hopefully remake fairs better, probably will on Switch 2 at least.
I agree. I like World but 8 just plays better, the driving and drifting feels much tighter and more responsive, and I prefer the narrower track designs that rely more on being good at drifting, over the bigger and wider tracks from world, there are some banger tracks in world though.
I wonder if you had the same energy with Hellblade 2.
Where's your source for this? Considering MS hide any real, substantive Xbox numbers I'm willing to bet that's not the case.
Which, since MS is now a 3rd party publisher, is also directly financing games for playstation as well, while putting in 0% of the dev costs.
That silly narrative and goalpost moving isn't the gotcha that you think it is.
No consequence for Hulst though, despite being the brainchild of the disastrous concord.
MS' attempt at monopolising the industry through absurd, huge acquisitions has blown up in their face, that part I love, screw MS and everything they stand for in gaming. I feel for the employees on this creaking ship though, hope they can bounce back soon.
So what have MS achieved with all this?
Xbox consoles collapsed
Gamepass struggling
Basically went full 3rd party
3rd party hardware in future with an xbox sticker
