Wow this was spun into positive PS5 exclusive news, faster than the xbox one DRM 360.
Sony have done well with getting a few exclusives out the door, and the Series does need some games to showcase the power.
It shouldn't be a measuring contest, just a factual debate.
Does PS5 have more exclusives? Yes, even if they only released 1, they would have more, Xbox no longer has full exclusives, we have known this for years.
<...
That is like your car breaking down, and me saying "well mine's fine".
This is the one game which i sometimes have issues with loading on the Series X, i just get the splash screen and then an automatic dashboard, so much so i have not played the game in months.
Exactly, well should we say "no xbox gamers" expected a new gears/announcement this year lol.
"Bad news.. this being one of Xbox's biggest IP.. meaning no Gears (as a next gen exclusive) for the next couple years for Series X/S owners.. is still quite a blow."
Not really, we had a 3 year gap between Gears 4 and 5 (yes they do not get launched annually like everyone on here believes), so not having another game from the coalition for the next few years, will not really have any impact on xbox gamers at all, after all, they just aquired a good few studio...
I find this really interesting :-
"Village is also the second biggest Xbox Series X/S launch so far, behind Call Of Duty, and the third biggest seller behind Cold War and, surprisingly, Immortals Fenyx Rising. In terms of other Resident Evil games, the physical sales are down 25% on 2019’s Resident Evil 2 and 40% down on 2017’s Resident Evil 7."
A 40% drop in the physical sales figures compared to the last game, does this point to more gamers bu...
Cant speak for yourself, but i have gamepass ultimate, and i have still bought resident evil village?
Gamepass does not stop me buying games i want, if they are not on gamepass, i buy them, simples.
Physical copies only.
Would be interesting to see the digital split between the platforms.
I get that everyone, but how did they deduce it as being a number 3 on the Series S|X list?
@Nyxus
"Isn't it one and the same version? So they have no way of knowing how many were bought for XSX and how many for XB1."
So how do they know it is the 3rd best seller on the Series? They must know the split?
I would like to know the split between xbox one and Series.
It is more common for g...
What i find odd, is how they have not stated whether the figures are for Series or xbox one, but have split PS4 and PS5 sales?
But yet it is the 3rd best selling game on Xbox Series S|X? something is a miss.
"It is already No.3 on the all-time Xbox Series list, behind Call of Duty and Immortals Fenyx Rising."
Everyone knows what the phrase is :-
"work smarter, not harder"
Typical Waverider, typical fanboy barf.
We know why your really here....
If people have never experienced "crunch" in a place of work, then you need to actually get a job.
It is because Sony fanboys are desperate for Halo to be unsuccessful, for some reason, they see Halo as a threat.
I thought as much, all that faff about potential developments problems etc are now getting smoothed over faster than a plasterers wall.
Nope just stating facts, which gets dodged by fanboys as if they are neo.
The data is from 2019 (2 years ago) from the article :-
"Although they cover 2019 and not the most recent years, they still give a good idea of the profit generated by Xbox."
A good "idea" of profit margins is exactly that, a guess.
The offset of hardware losses applies to sony and nintendo too, as per the article :-
...
What hardware from 2019? Series was not released until 2020.
The apple court case is from data in 2019.
It is not Sony's final profit either as stated in the article, you also conveniently missed this out :-
"This obviously applies to Sony and Nintendo as well, although, unlike Microsoft or Sony, Nintendo is not selling their hardware at a loss and generate a small amount of profit from it."
@lodossrage
Your xbox financial report is from Q4 2019 (upto June 2019)
Your Sony financial report is from Q3 2019 (upto December 2019)
So the financial reports do not match, you would need to add into that Q1 and Q2 2020 financial report for Microsoft's figure, do you have that one so we can get a correct representation?
Not bad right? 1.6-2.3 billion dollars, by releasing no games, and an apparent last-gen console?
I would not mind that business model lol
@Masterfox
"if Im not mistaken a next gen console is to play some next games isn't?"
It is one of the reasons yes, but i can guarantee you, every owner of a PS5, or a Series S|X, is still playing last-gen or cross-gen games. I do not see why you would buy a Series and then sit there waiting for a next-gen game, or buy a PS5, and play the 2-3 next-gen games released so far.
