And people call me a fanboy...
They're not even losing anything.
And it's not like this boycott is going to increase sales or profitability. Even if they were to get Microsoft to back down it's not going to make xbox more popular.
Frankly, I just find them out of touch.
Phil be the hero we need, end this console war.
Coming soon to the Microsoft store.
"So. Much for banning games from PS like I keep hearing around here."
"But I heard Xbox going physical with games meant there would be no console according to N4G."
So when you hear bad news for xbox just gaslight everyone, as usual I guess...
I'm looking forward to Blade on PS5 Pro.
They don't have a choice.
The fact of the matter is they have all these studios and they are never going to be able to maintain them on the profits (if there are any) that game pass makes. Even before they had all these studios it was questionable that game pass was making money (it was being subsidized), and now after Starfield by far the biggest chance for success they had almost certainly lost a truck load of money (8 year dev time >3M sales) they have to accept ...

You're denying the reality and the facts as they have been presented, that is cope.
Starfield sold less than MK1, WB at the end of December made a statement that the game had sold "almost 3 million copies". We can look at the data and see that Starfield sold less than 3 million copies, we also have had statements from both gamesindustry and Circana saying that the vast majority of sales were on PC.
Starfield s...

That sounds like a lot of cope after hearing that Microsoft hasn't even signed a contract for their next gen console yet. We already knew Microsoft wasn't doing a mid gen, Phil, said that, though I wouldn't blame you for not trusting him.
Phil also told you that if xbox wasn't doing well they wouldn't make another console. And take note, games no longer sell on the console (we saw 80+ percent splits on games total sales la...
"While --->Microsoft has yet to sign a contract with anyone for its next generation Xbox<---, Moore's Law is Dead thinks it is likely the company will go with AMD once again. However, things seem to be lagging behind Sony and its PlayStation 6, as due to this delay, the console may have only entered the design phase recently. This could make Microsoft release the console release later than Sony's next-gen system or rush its release to launch it together with the competition...
How many years do you think it would take to pay off 70 billion with the salaries of the people who lost their jobs?
And let's not even bring up the fact that Microsoft was getting all these games anyways, so these people lost their jobs for essentially no reason.
Well, as an xbox gamer you won't have to worry about that as you won't even have the option for physical now that Microsoft has fired the whole department.
it is being reported by Windows Central reporter, -->>Jez Corden<<--, that Microsoft has shut down entire departments dedicated to bringing Xbox games to retail. In other words, departments dedicated to shipping physical copies of games.
Hogwarts Legacy - PS5 41%, PS4 16%, Xbox One 14%
EA Sports FC 24 - PS5 42%, PS4 26%, Xbox Series 12%
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - PS5 49%, PS4 5%, Xbox Series 8%
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate - PS5 56%, PS4 42%, Xbox Series 2%,
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - PS5 26%, PS4 21%, Xbox Series 1%
It Takes Two - PS4 55%, Xbox Series 0%
Sonic Superstars - PS5 37%, PS4 10%, Xbox...
As other have said... that's because the numbers for the game are down.
But ya know, good spin, I can tell you're truly part of Microsoft now.
People always have the option to not support Microsoft.
I didn't buy Starfield even though I was excited for it. I don't buy game pass even though it has games on it I want to play.
People do get to decide where the industry goes, that's why there aren't loot boxes in single player games and kinect got kicked to the curb.
Deflector shields to maximum!
A big "I told you so" to the people who mock me and don't want to let me say the things I say even though they nearly always turn out to be true.
Keep in mind this is on top of the thousands of people they have sacked in 2022 and 2023, and yes I am only counting people from their gaming and gaming related divisions, which of course was only a fraction of the 20,000+ total people they fired in that timeframe. (While collecting record profits and becoming the we...
Do I need a battle pass or to pay money for the car DLC, like Forza?
Big surprise the company that has for 3 generations now put ads in their UI and not just for gaming related things, that also wanted a mandatory spybox so they could sell what you said to advertisers, who is also pushing for advertising supported gaming and ads in games themselves continues to force ads onto it's customers.
I'm so surprised. I thought for sure they would listen to their fanbase, I mean it's not like Windows where they use their monopoly on PC t...
So the audience of N4G is xbox fanboys?
Lets pretend that Sega didn't have it's largest number of games release on game pass ever during this quarter by not even mentioning it in your article about how their games underperformed in sales.
Hmm CTRL F ah zero mentions of game pass at all.
