"if you "get hating on Overload" then that means you know his game so.... why is he still posting?"
Just curious, what is my game? You seem to assume a lot of things. The image you have of me in your head is most likely entirely wrong.
Because MAU is a fluff stat that carries no real value, aside from trying to spin bad news.
Microsoft's games revenue slips due to declining Xbox console sales

In this one (in July) they blamed the 360. The excuses seem to be all over the place surrounding this issue.
There is an android Xbox app, that should say enough.
"Scorpio will release around October. That's when holiday season starts in the U.S"
OK, October is the 10th month of 12 months. That would be the end of the year.
Scorpio is almost a year away. They better hope that isn't the case.
Scorpio is scheduled for the end of 2017..... almost a year away.

I meant the loss of the 360. I should have worded that better.
"55 million online users is the biggest online playerbase wow the numbers are huge"
55 Million users combines Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 10 and Mobile Devices.
New Xbox apps for iOS and Android look just like Windows 10

It's a meaningless metric without the stats behind the...
It's pretty shocking. The Xbox One S just launched.
" after all the holiday sale of getting them at crazy low prices not much money was coming back to them."
No, I get all that. They just launched the Xbox One S, leading to a surge that they didn't have the previous year during the same quarter.
MAU's include Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows 10 and Mobile Devices they don't tell you much about the Xbox One alone.
The 360 probably accounts for some too, but still.....
That is surprising.
"It's not the number of consoles sold that is down. It's the money they make with each."
I get that, but they just launched the Xbox One S and had a big surge enough surge with it that helped move a higher than average amount of consoles for a limited amount of time.
Pretty crazy after all that hype for the Xbox One S and 4K BR they are down YOY and shipped less consoles. Having just launched the Xbox One S they should have had a higher rate of consoles purchased periodically, which most likely would offset the pricing difference. It literally says the decline is due to pricing and console volume (meaning they shipped less).
Edit: Here is the slide, I'm referring to

"So you fully expect Sony to abandon the PS4 after 6 years, but even worse, expect them to abandon the Pro after 3 years?? So much for future proofing, I guess."
No. I expect them both to be supported for a few years after (more sparsely) like the PS2 and PS3 were, mainly being cross gen titles. Yakuza 5 was released last year (or the one before) as a PS3 exclusive.
"Let's just ignore games like Star Citizen that blow anything away even though in the PC world there are no generations"
"Project Scorpio won't have any exclusives, No one gets left behind."

Unless they are lying, no it wouldn't be the same thing. Something made for Scor...
"I dont think there will be generations anymore because of backwards compatibility for games and accessories. Last year Greenburg said the future won't have console generations."

What would give you the impression the console industry is controlled by Xbox's actions?
I fully expect there to be a PS5 after 6 yea...
Yep. Great news in that regard.
