Not good value for MS itself, gamepass cannabalized their very own sales and for what? The service is not showing sustained growth, they spending money on getting and keeping games on the service, losing sales, games get released on gamepass PC day one thereby devaluing buying the console in the first place and they sold a weaker version console that now commands 75% of all their consoles sold as a trojan horse that is now only serving to keep them back. All in the name of trying to beat Sony...
Any site that ranks Starfield above Baldurs Gate 3 is talking out of its arse.
Can you imagine Phil's face? 2027 here we come...
And even now that they going games first its adoption rate is unsustainable, they lost the goodwill of their 360 crowd and they have been getting absolutely creamed in sales. Come in with a "we going to dominate this industry attititude" without putting in actual work in the form of games, this is what happens. XBOX deserves its 2027 and so do all the idiots that cheered for all their policies up to this point. Cest La Vie.
These idiots are doing what they do best trying change the narrative with a twist; by sustaining the narrative. MS really takes us for fools, it was vehemently hated then and it is vehemently hated now. They think a newer, younger crowd of gamers is going to accomodate their crap? Swear to God they have not learnt jack shit since 2001. This is why they will always be last.
I can tell you one thing; I'm sure as hell not preordering the Witcher 4.
Aint going to do much to be honest. I know at least 6 households that have a ps5 spiderman bundle or limited edition console already stashed waiting to be wrapped for Christmas.
Hells no....
Europe could give a fuq about XBOX
This.
Good, its an excellent game that Larian put their blood, sweat and tears in. Good they not devaluing it. Let the cheapskates buy the game.
A complete kerbstomping innit? Them XBOX ambassadors in hiding.
@Chevalier the XBOX ambassadors ran back to big daddy Phil for biddy.
I give you the new Starfield. Game of the generation guys.....seroiusly.
Oh man you going to die at this rate lol.
Its that mid.
Todd is that you?
Its over. It was always over publicly with Phil's interview. They merely attempting to transition to a third party and service model without a console in a manner so as not to piss off their fanbase.
Give me physical and I will buy.
You are amazing. This doesnt change sales at all. It merely reiterates thay Sony is not going to sit on their laurels. MS is getting their asses handed to them so bad they cannot and will not even course correct from launching an all digital series X. Even if they reset the clock and launch a new console in 2026 which is highly doubtful, their time with consoles are done for. Accept it or not it will be an eventuality. They can eff around with mobile and PC, I dont care for those, just as lon...
