You're wrong. They talk about series x all the time. They just did an entire show about games coming to the series x. They talk about features and they excellent hardware design plans to add even more stuff to the console. If you get all your news from here i can understand why you feel that way, but that's a huge misconception.
Now, if we are discussing competitive sales you could say they failed for not outselling the competition. Thats something theyve admitted but that ...
Well, if you prefer playing on a console you do need their hardware because you cant play all your xbox games on PS5. Thats what you guys dont seem to understand. And its not set in stone that all future xbox games will come to playstation.
And yes, they got their butt kicked in hardware sales but its not all about hardware sales. The series x is not a failure. Not even close. Its still a great console and keeps getting better. It still has features that sony cant match with ps5 o...
I dont know if I agree with that. There are those who can afford and will buy them, regardless. Microsoft seems to be the one who will benefit the most if they do release within the next year or two. They are better setup for it. They have the built in system with play anywhere. Something that sony lacks at the moment. Plus, they just released the pro which i still think was a mistake. I think they were caught off guard and were surprised that Microsoft moved so quickly with Helix.
...
No thanks.
What's the issue? There is no issue. Just another thing where people's disdain for xbox clouds their judgement. Publishers do this all the time.
Sega knows where the money is.
M8crosoft and sony doesnt have to do that because they've been doing it long before Nintendo. They are the ones who hardly ever have sales on their games. They've been getting away with it for far too long.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Sony would take a huge loss if they did. If they do Bungie needs to go back where they belong with Microsoft. They had a lot of success there and Halo is still one of the top franchises out there.
Replying to your comment above. Microsoft didnt put games on other platforms to grow xbox. They did it for profits because that's what big publishers do. You want your games on as many platforms as you can. Playstation outselling xbox isn't really doing much for sony either. They're still closing studios and struggling to get games out. You really think Microsoft thought they were going to outsell playstation? No. You see the problem with sony's is they are stuck on that same...
So this is Microsoft's fault..lol playstation will never be the only place to play those games you listed. The PC, next gen xbox will be playing those as well. If sony was smart they would put their games on other platforms as well. They seem to be falling apart a bit and its all their doing.
Its more about the game than the hardware.
Yea, but look who has a new console coming and who is falling behind because they did an upgrade and didnt need to.
Thats true. Bobby did get a little richer. But name a CEO who isn't rich or getting richer. When I look around the industry I see a bunch of people getting fired. Not just from Microsoft. That is, unless you think the devs from Bluepoint deserved to be fired. Unfortunately, things like this will continue to happen whether you like it or not.
Skipping the platform? Thats interesting. 80% of devs favor the PC platform so that's means a considerable amount are skipping the playstation and switch too right?
I wouldn't consider gamepass a flop and the jury is still out on the aqusition. That wasn't exactly a bad thing either. It helped them become one the biggest and best publishers to date. One good thing is they acquired some good studios that make good games. Im curios, can you explain how or why gamepass is a flop? By definition a flop is a total failure or unsuccessful endeavor.
Id say his legacy is complicated, but if you focus on all the bad and ignore the positive things anyone can seem bad. He did have some positive impacts on the xbox platform.
Launched and grew Gamepass-
Invested in backwards compatibilty enabling thousands of older titles to play on modern hardware-
Grew the xbox box first party lineup
Brought xbox into the PC space
Hardware and feature improvements for xbox consoles
Pushed for cross-play...
No reason to accept defeat when you haven't been defeated.
Thats only because they dont like xbox and they know Microsoft is the one company that worries sony the most. They have the money and their R&D is larger and have more financial backing. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Im glad they are continuing to make hardware. At least for now. We definitely need more that sony and Nintendo around.
He said they will always invest in gaming. Thats doesnt mean they'll continue to make hardware. I think that goes for sony and Nintendo as well. In the future you wont need to buy expensive consoles for gaming.
A lot of gamers are going that PC route . Thats why I said Microsoft is more prepared with their approach with Helix being a hybrid. I stand by my word saying the ps5pro was a huge mistake. Thats one of the reasons why they're not ready to talk about ps6 yet. They still want to sell more ps5 pros before talking about next gen but I think Microsoft is putting some pressure on them to step it up.
I believe they thought Microsoft would do a refresh like they did and didnt think the...
