'If Xbox isn´t selling great is because console sales to MS is not all that important anymore.'
Crazy talk and cope, sales have collapsed due to years of MS dropping the ball. Not important? Where do you think most gamepass subs come from lol.
'Microsoft is aiming for maximum profits and sustainability over console war.'
I actually agree, shame MS choose to hide xbox profit numbers all the time.
So vgchartz over tracking it by around 4-5 million units potentially then.
'Yes, just like "many" people said Death Stranding and MLB The Show would never end up on Xbox'.
Kojima acquired the IP rights to Death Stranding from Sony, the MLB license holder mandated a multiplatform release, Sony have been doing staggered PC releases for years. I dunno why you guys keep parroting this like it's the same as Microsoft starting to put their tentpole games on playstation, when it obviously isn't lol.
MS are doi...
It's been removed now, I think someone did an oopsie and it was potentially supposed to be at the rumoured state of play next week.
Android Wilson is nothing more than a soulless corporate CEO, out of touch with their customer base.
Yeah SE who were disappointed with tomb raider 2013 selling like 7 million copies. I'm glad it's apparently do well on steam, but hard to say without numbers, Rebirth is excellent so deserves to sell many millions.
Jez desperate to take a swing at PS5 after the forza and age of empires news lol.
GT7 I can understand, Demon's Souls is a bit mystifying though, it being over 4 years now and the PC base having a sizeable souls-like community.
Something something single percent of PS5 owners bought astro bot, wow what a flop.
4 million Indiana Jones *players* with access on GP on Xbox consoles and hundreds of millions of gaming PCs out there, omg what a massive success, congrats MS.
@abriael, he's getting downvoted for creating alts and spamming the site on a daily basis lol.
@obscure
'Oh but they do. They do because they know Playstation helped MS as it is now the biggest and most profitable gaming company and publisher in the world!'
I wonder why it is that MS always hide the profit numbers of their xbox division then, and only report on revenue, interesting.
'So yeah, there was a reason why Sony tried their best to prevent MS from acquire ABK and that reason is crystal clear now.'
...
Mechanically fantastic, but as an overall package I prefer the first game.
Obviously these figures are mostly driven by COD, but PS5 had a vastly superior lineup of games in 2024 than Xbox, who only gave you hellblade 2 for most of the year.
@obscure, don't think Sony care as much as you think, nothing has changed for Sony at all, they are making tons of money off cod without marketing rights or having to lift a finger for development.
These stats also show why they are doubling down with the multiplatform approach, to fund more Xbox games, which by effect is also now funding more playstation games :)
Yeah, let's ignore all context like Kojima acquiring full IP rights from Sony, and the MLB license holder making the decision that the games must be on Xbox and switch from now on.
Exception, not the rule.
But again, how does theoretically releasing games on Xbox solve that problem? If I'm not mistaken Sony said the PS5 is their most profitable generation yet.
So why would Sony release games on Xbox? We've seen the damage of over a decade of a lack of exclusives outside of halo and Forza, day 1 PC and going all in on gamepass has done to the Xbox brand, why would Sony do the same and damage their brand? Not even having CoD on gamepass has moved the needle for Xbox, in...
What would Sony have to gain from putting their games on Xbox consoles, where software sells poorly as everyone waits for gamepass? PS5 continues to shift magnitudes more consoles, they don't need the dwindling xbox userbase. The most I could see is eventual day and date with PC, I don't think that's out of the realm of possibility. Otherwise I don't think Sony is in a rush to gut their console and software sales by throwing everything on a sub service day 1 and porting games ...
Let's not forget from the leaked court documents which company wanted to put up the biggest walls by a huge margin in the first place lol.
Outsold by 10:1, a bloodbath, Switch selling 900k as well is pretty crazy given it's age.
Definitely is, this guys whole MO is xbox fanboy satrical comments lol.
