@andy it’s called speculation look at the definition of it. Clearly neither of us know so your guess is as good as mine neither you or I know how much money they are making on it. So why act like you know any better. I’m just assuming didn’t realize I had to put that I thought it was obvious. But Microsoft has stated that Game pass is profitable and it has only grown since then so I’ll take their word over yours.
That's still crazy they must make a billion in profit at the end of the year and that is nothing to scoff at Most companies wish/dream they could make half of that in a year. People need to realize this is just for a quarter so assuming it doesn't grow which is unlikely they make 4 billion a year on just gamepass revenue out of that at least all that a billion has to be profit. They count every dollar so people saying that $1 counts as a wholesale must be delusional and trying to spin...
@Mika do you really believe Phil is doing a bad job. IMO i believe he is so far the best xbox executive they have had. He is finally doing something about the lack of consistent games that Xbox has always had and it's because they don't have a lot of capable developers he is rectifying that. In the past they relied on paying for third party exclusivity which worked for a moment but it's a long term plan. If it wasn't for him they wouldn't be acquiring so many studios and h...
The thing is I wish Microsoft would report numbers for Xbox alone but they don't.
But it's good to see GamePass being a bright spot and it alone raising revenue by 3 percent. I'm sure MS is happy about that they seem more focused on GamePass then the hardware. I'm glad to see it flourishing hopefully it keeps growing but MS needs more content not just AAA games but small games like Hi-Fi Rush you need variety. How do they expect to grow GamePass numbers with...
Yeah I agree it was a fun game overall I feel most people who think it's shit are people who are just going by what the internet says. i just feel like they tried to do too much with it and you can tell by playing the game they overstretched themselves. They need to go back to basics and make the campaign linear and focus on variety and story. But it's a good game is it great no it's not but still good and fun.
It was a fun game the gameplay is always fun for me...
It doesn’t matter the point is the brand has brought in that much money to MS most companies are not even worth that much. It’s all because of the games so they will continue is the point. It’s mostly non fans or Sony fanboys wanting it to be dead. Real halo fans would love to get more halo just t needs to get things right.
Although halo infinite the open world was pretty cool they need to go back to it being linear not every game needs to be open world. Make it linear and...
Well for a game that has generated 10 billion I doubt Microsoft will say goodbye to Halo or Master Chief. There will be more Halo.
They need to learn how to advertise games. That's one thing Sony does way better is advertise all their games and their console. They had a superbowl commercial where was Xbox's? People will not buy your games if they don't even know they exist the majority of gamers do not visit these type of websites or any other gaming websites for them to know like some of us do. Word of Mouth will only do so much same with a few billboards they need TV ads. They have had some great games like...
now if they only removed the button to share screenshots on the Xbox controller so pointless. I've hit that button so many times unintentionally and uploaded screenshot when I didn't mean to.
You mean Sony pays them to keep games off Xbox there fixed your statement. It's not about sales because if you look at playstation games in japan they don't sell either only a handful of already established IP sell the other fail. The only ones who have actual success in Japan is Nintendo.
This is actually a good thing halo fans have wanted Frank and Bonnie gone from 343 so hopefully things get better with them gone.
Dont bother most of these guys just love hating on anything. It seemed no one cared about Redfall it was all about Starfield. But then came the negative news about it and all of a sudden everybody was interested. People just love to bitch about something.
I agree with the article it's funny all of a sudden everyone cares about 60 FPS on all games when there are plenty of games on both playstation and Xbox that are locked at 30 FPS people act like 60 FPS is the standard ...
@jin okay what does that have to do with the topic at hand?
Lol yeah you would be surprised at what could sell. I could see it.
Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.
That has nothing to do with the practices being outlined here. Yeah they make quality games that is not the issue at hand. No one’s is doubting that.
You are going off topic they are talking about anti competitive practices which Sony is guilty of and shined a light on those practice themselves. Yes Microsoft and Nintendo do it as well and yes it should be looked into as well it should be a standard for the industry if it makes you feel better.
Good hopefully something gets done Sony is the epitome of Hypocrisy. It's time they get in trouble for their actual anti competitive practices. Third party publishers should be multiplatform and the choice should be for the consumers to choose what platform to play on especially if they can afford to fund it. Unless they acquire the company then exclusivity is not cool especially to pay to keep games off other platforms.
Lmao that was a low blow to say it’s better to do business in the EU considering what happened with brexit.
