Selling 6 million consoles, without even releasing a game "apparently" is excellent business for the shareholders lol.
But in reality, it is not true is it?
"I bought an Xbox Series X right after E3 2021."
Where from? please share so we can get one also
It really is fun with friends, happy sailing, and be wary of skeletons :p
I really got into this game when it was on gamepass, but i still have not bought it as of yet, may take the plunge with this collectors edition.

" The fact that Hermen Hulst said in an early June interview that Sony has at least 25 games from 1st party in development means nothing?"
Xbox has 23 studios all working on at least 1 new game, it means nothing until those games are shown and known.
Sony could say they are working on 92 1st party games, if they only release 5 of them in the next 3 years, it means absolutely zilch.

"Ps4 selling better than ps4 and already ps5 is 2.1 against series xs"
Series is selling better than xbox one
and the gap is under 2:1 total sales, the lead is only 3.8 million (i think)
@Father_Merrin
Don't get me wrong, i am not under the illusion or dream land that the Series is magically going to outsell the PS5 this gen, because quite simply put, it isn't.
But a 3:1, 4:1 lead? really? there is optimism and then there is an unknown word for that statement.
That would imply that the PS5 is going to sell 200-250 million units. I think it will sell really strongly, but it is still very early to see whether it w...
Me neither, been a xbox gamer since the OG xbox with the good old duke.

"Buying third party devs instead of building up their own studios."
Sony bought 3rd party devs Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch etc, you know Sony's best studios?
"Trying to price fix the industry with Game Pass in order to run the competition out of business."
You would only say something like this if you perceive gamepass to be a threat, and in no way can a sub "fix" the industr...

"Now, Amazon currently has 3 month ultimate game pass for 29.99. Take your 2 AAA games, and then add in a gold subscription, and then tell me the comparison."
Gamer A : 4 x Amazon deals on gamepass ultimate- + 2 AAA games not in gamepass = 239.94
Gamer B : 2 AAA games + 1 year of gold - 159.97
Although gamers take the sub, they still buy the games outside of gamepass, (which is what Petebloodyonion ...
This in a nutshell, i sub to gamepass ultimate, i still buy digital games, as a direct result of using gamepass, rental service or not, it opens you up to new genres of games you would never have spent a pound on. I have bought at full price, around 17 games outside of the gamepass service, as a result of playing "rented" games via gamepass.
Whoever says developers are not profiting from the service, clearly do not understand the service.

You got your perks right there, along with discounted games via the gamepass sub
Nope, it is still an exclusive, the same way xbox games are still exclusive.
I agree, i would still call it an exclusive, whether it was on PC or not, the same reason i still call games like Halo Infinite, Forza etc an Xbox exclusive, but for some reason when it is xbox in question, the comments are full of "xbox has no exclusives as all their games are on PC lolz" which i do not agree with.
Probably criticism more so than interest if they allowed plug and play external BD drives, because then what is the point of a digital edition?
Me too i think "activate noob mode" lol, i'm guaranteed to literally crash before i've taken off.
@amuchspider
Halo infinite multplayer is free to play, not sure how you sell that? or at what price-point.
Halo is the number one xbox system seller, it always has been.
Xbox numbers will be quite good this fall, especially if they can keep up with demand, which at the moment in regards to the Series X, they can not.
The Series S is readily available in some territories, because gamers are simply waiting for an X.
@waverider
lol i just do not see why Sony fans waste their time attempting to downplay xbox articles. I am doing nothing wrong, other than replying to Sony fans attempting to troll/downplay in xbox articles. I do not damage control, nor attempt to spin any subject, i just state factual information. I never go into Sony articles with the sole purpose of downplaying/damage controlling, i actually praise Sony, check my comment history if you like, and let me know when you find...
