You guys are under the impression that they need to sell 80 or 90 million.
Thats not the case anymore. Its more about the ecosystems. They just need the core gamers to continue to invest in that. Hardware sales are gonna stagnate, regardless. Sony has never beat their ps2 sales and Microsoft is never gonna sell as many 360s they sold. The good thing is neither of them need to.
You could ask the same about playstation. Why did some people go and buy the ps5 pro when the pc has more performance and more games. At least with the next gen xbox you'll be able to play you're entire library and even more. Xbox is always gonna have its hardcore fans. They arent going anywhere. Even now the series x does things you cant do with the ps5 or the ps5 pro. Thats important to me as a gamer. I'll definitely be buying it. It'll still be the best console with the ...
We haven't even seen the the thing yet. Its gonna be for core gamers. They'll definitely buy it.
If youre talking selling scnsoles, selling the most doesnt mean you win a generation.Thats just means you sold more consoles. Microsoft sold more xbox 360s than they did the original xbox. Sony sold less ps3s than they did ps2s and they sold them at a loss for almost the entire generation. They narrowly outsold the 360.Microsoft regressed with the xbox one and did even worse with the series x. But all that doesnt mean as much anymore because you dont need eother one to play the games. It a d...
No retiring is retiring. Getting fired is something totally different. No top leader gets officially fired . Jim Ryan, Yoshida, and Mattrick were fored out.
Phil Spencec announced he would be retiring sooner than later. I dont expect you guys to k ow that since xbox isn't your preferred platform.
And for the record, that 440 billion was market cap not revenue.
But Bluepoint is still closed. And playstation still needs 2 CEOs.
Exactly. Phil was her biggest supporter. I believe Matt Boity is gonna end up there sooner or later. There were rumors that people didnt like Sarah Bond.
Thats not a distraction. Phil has been saying for years after he got that job that his time would be limited. Even last year he informed Nadella he was working on a succession plan. He elevated Sarah Bond to her position. So guess what she has to go to. I believe she resigned knowing they are gonna bring someone else in who's been there there longer. She just got there in 2017. The AI push is happening, people. Get ready!
Xbox had similar issues but not the same. Microsoft studios are actually producing more games. They did close some studios but they have more studios than sony and their path is clear. They made the hard decisions because they had to.They know what they're going to be doing in the next 5 to 10 years.
Sony has sat back and with the same old strategy they had for the past generations and its not working. Games are taking longer to make and getting more expensive and just console s...
It's their business model that hurting them. They wont be able to sustain it if they dont make changes. These guys think making only single player games is the way go go but it isn't. Weve seen how Microsoft has changed how they do business with xbox and its paying off for them. Sony has made way too many mistakes. First they give us the PS5 which was underpowered compared to series x. Then the ps5 pro which no one really wanted or needed and its not selling well and have no games t...
Like I said before,people keep thinking console sales are the cure for everything. This is mismanagement. No different than the other companies that do it. This is turning out to be Sony's worst generation. Lots of humble pie being eaten right now.
Bring it to series x.
All games come with high risks. Maybe not high but still a risk.
Nintendo gets away with murder when it comes to its game prices . They're still selling some of their last gen games for full price.
Nah, it had nothing to do with how it played. It just didnt meet expectations for a sequel to be invested in.
Most first party single player games dont keep people playing.without a robust multiplayer component.Thats part of the issue. Sometimes it takes 5 to 6 years for games to be finished and they are getting more expensive to make so the risk is bigger. I liked days gone but it wasn't as well recieved as other 1st party games. Sony cant just do single player only lgames anymore. The industry has changed.
Xbox Ally FTW🤘!
Nah, its just your eyes.
What's meant to be will always find a way. The next xbox is gonna happen no matter how much fanboys are still wishing for its death. The core fans will always be there.
I call BS. Too much money to lose.
