5 year track record? More like 13 year track record. XBOX has been in the doldrums since the launch of the OG Kinect.
Actually yes for the Series consoles. Nobody buys games on XBOX thanks to GamePass. Its so bad the games now have to be released on Playstation to actually sell.
As a new steam user theres thousands of old cheap games, so yeah, I ain't buying and playing new games on my steam deck. Busy with Max Payne 2 right now.
Ah, Scam Citizen...
Ask Gallaton.
Thry have. You have to see the store shelf allocation....literally no store allocates shelf space to XBOX.
Hi demand my follically dense buttocks. XBOX Series have never historically sold well anywhere in Europe. Poland traditionally has always been PC and PlayStation land. Unless they counting eveything as XBOX as per their latest marketing schlep.
Day one for me.
Those 400k people just bought an obsolete console.
@anast don't forget Gears Emergence Day.
Basically become like EA or Ubisoft. Publish games on all consoles and have a subscription arm.
Remember when Sega ripped the band aid off really fast in 2001? Maybe MS is trying to clear Series stock. People are reporting that their newly purchased XBOXs have manufacturing dates from 2022-2023. If you smell smoke then theres a fire. And theres alot of smoke.....
Been saying this for a year now; they moving to third party publishing but still want a slice of that subscription pie. Jez Corden posted that XBOX exclusives are now a thing of the past going forward. Just waiting for Halo PS5 now.....
Jez Corden posted that there will be no more XBOX exclusives in the future. Interesting times.
It already has forced them down this path. Karma is a byatch.
Sony will make it, well, studio From will do it with the support of Sony. Just like before. Siny nutures and supports their studios.
@Obscure allow me to summarize your essay:
SALT.
God help us, here comes a tidal wave of troll accounts in the inevitable threads detailing this.
Yup writing was on the wall when Kadokawa themselves issued a press release that Sony had intent to purchase them. Sony effectively has a massive stable of anime IPs with this, Fromsoft is the icing on the proverbial cake.
Hows XBOX doing? Oh wait third party publisher now...boo woo
