"If these numbers are for their 'fastest growing' market, it doesn't say much for the rest of their growth markets."
No, all it means is the rest of the world markets may have a growth of say 4% year on year, if Japan has a growth metric of 5% year on year, then Japan is Xbox's fastest growing market.
But nonetheless as poor as the sales numbers are, it is still a growing market for xbox.
No downplay can change fact.
@majiebeast
Growth not sales
In other words, sales across Europe and US, are in parallel growth wise.
Whereas Japan sales are stronger than last gen, so Japan is the fastest "growing" market.
Your comment makes no sense, if they have developed in UE4 so far, what is the issue with showing gameplay?
And UE5 is already in developers hands, just not available as a full release. The early release is already out, the full release is later this year/early next.

I think it will be gameplay, we saw a full trailer last year.
Will either be some in-engine gameplay, or a gameplay trailer
Niiiiiiccccceeeeeee, i knew it, i knew it, too many things to show in a 90 minute E3 slot.
The hype is real, but when i scroll down, i am bound to see some deflect comments lol
They had to try and make a case for a Playstation game somehow lol

"Uh... what? The most anticipated Xbox/Bethesda game is different than the most anticipated game"
Yeah, xbox is the console, higher userbase across xbox and pc, than there is across just xbox lol.
Congrats to all the winners!!
Xbox games starting to win awards, regardless of the amount of spinning in the comments.
Most anticipated xbox game (which is the console solely) - Halo Infinite
Most overall anticipated game (all platforms, xbox + PC) - Forza Horizon 5
This is self explanatory after applying logic
I am going to invest in a flight stick for slight sim, would be rude not too lol
I agree, if you get what you pay for.
But soon the industry will be that inundated with Microtransactions, that you will have to spend extra money for things like, texture packs, RT packs.
It is already pointing that way with publishers charging more for PS5/Series "upgrades".
But what about the people that do not buy the battle pass?
Doesn't that break up matchmaking the same way?
Destiny 2 i can not do some missions/quests because i have to buy the "season pass"
I stick by a few rules in gaming :-
1) FTP game - i will open my wallet to support the devs if i like the game, case in point Neverwinter, all expansions free of charge, game free of charge, with an option to buy Zen (ingame currency) with real money, but this Zen can also be earned by grinding. Exactly the way it should be done.
2) Full price game - i will not support any form of microtransaction, even if i like the game, this is just corporate greed, no...
I have no problem whatsoever with free to play games having MT's and/or battlepass.
The problem is when you are paying full price for a game, and then they want you to spend money on top of that for unlocks, cosmetic or not, it is just daylight robbery, and the sooner the practice stops, the better games overall we will get.
All it is nowadays is a half-assed game with a focus on money making lootcrates.
Bring back DLC.

Makes sense, less platforms to develop for, allows them to spend more time on the game.
There is a reason why platform exclusives tend to be showcases of consoles.
Even if they abandon completely a what, 100 million fanbase on playstation give or take? They can cater to the many millions more than that across PC/Xbox, to make the games not only better for xbox, but also masterpieces for PC.
50% of that PS fanbase probably already own b...
I know right it comes across as desperate and tragic.
Last i heard, gamers bought games on whatever platform they released on.
"I'll follow Arkane."
Surely if you follow arkane and they go xbox/pc only, you may as well pick up starfield and the rest while your at it.
@Christopher
I don't get why your referencing ESO, when that is and will always be on PS, so Microsoft will continue to make money of the PS fanbase.
But if the next Elder Scrolls (ES6) was Xbox and PC only, then those PS Elder Scrolls fans, will simply buy an xbox or get the game on PC, thus still supporting Bethesda, and Bethesda still supplying the same fanbase.
Only fanboys of a plastic box think differently.

"PS4 has sold close too 10m PS4's in Japan. Microsoft sold approximately 120,000."
Wait, Microsoft sold 120,000 PS4's in Japan??
