The best games in the world are made in complete silence. The more you promote and talk about your game, the more s**t it will be. It's sad to see how people still don't know how the Universe works. The laws of nature do not support such things like overconfidence combined with greed.
All consoles are sold out (except Series S). The PS5 went into mass production about 2 months earlier but Microsoft waited until the RDNA2 chip was finalized and all the features included, Sony refused to wait and some features are missing from the chip but got more consoles produced and therefore sold. The Xbox is doing absolutely well considering 0 games.

The PS5 uses 1GB more memory to keep the UI at 4K, where you probably only spend 1% of your time. Microsoft's decision to keep it at 1080p was a recommendation from the developers. Better take advantage of it in games.
MS are doing well despite no new games to play. Imagine if the PS5 came out without Demon's Souls and Spider Man. The interest would have been slightly different between the systems. Still in favor of the PS5, but not so marginally because people can't stop saying how much they want to play this Spider Man game.
We could say for everything that a weaker system holds back a more powerful system, even on a PS5. XSX is likely to get the same approach as a PS5. They don't bother to take advantage of the extra power that XSX can provide (speaking of multi-platform games).
Series X is sold out everywhere, stop trolling. I already ordered from Poland (and many others), where availability has always been good/best in EU standards and if they don't have it, it is nowhere to be found. Availability in smaller countries is completely ruled out.
"Video games make kid more violent" but you can choose the following action:
1. play only non-violent videogames
2. play less videogames
3. control you behivours
VR is harmful to your eyes and brain all the time you wear it. There are no more healthy options for you, except for the solution not to use it at all.
https://www.bbc.com/news/te... Don't be fooled, it comes when the time is about right...out of nowhere.
It's also difficult for your brain because the VR environment works differently from the reality you live in.
I would never develop such a thing for mass use.
"Microsoft managed to ship around 1 million fewer Xbox consoles that Sony, suggesting around 3.5 million were sent to stores (PS5 around 4.5-5 million)".
Also, the Series S doesn't sell as well and they had a total of two completely different consoles for preparation and production. Series X's are all sold out with 0 games. I would say not a bad result at all.

Combining with a Game Pass, why not? Does buying more and more studios not increase the user base? They currently have 0 launch titles. When the games start coming out, I believe it will be more than a 5% increase in console sales.
Excluding the Playstation is not a 100% loss for Microsoft. Unrealized profit nonetheless, but Xbox sales are likely to grow 20-30% thereafter. Nothing catastrophic. If they think only of profit (in the short term), releasing on all platforms, their own platform will die slowly. Buying Bethesda is a long-term investment.
If the trend continues and all upcoming Bethesda games are equally available on other consoles, Phil wouldn't have mentioned the phrase "on a case-by-case basis." Exclusive games are still coming, but only time will tell which games.
How long do you want the 6 years old game to stay in the Game Pass? The game was there for 1 year and 3 months from December 2019 until March 2021. Do you want to play Witcher 3 forever so that new games cannot enter Game Pass? No one has ever said that you don't buy any game outside of GP, all kinds of multiplayer games and so on, the ones you want to keep forever. Your understanding of Game Pass is very limited. There are hundreds of games that you only would like to play if you spend a...
