I don't see how it could improve for MS.
About consoles sales, they won't improve. I actually see Xbox sales continuing to fall for the rest of the year.
The only thing that will increase is their revenue/profit: thanks to the ABK purchase and new Bethesda games.
But that's it. Considering that COD won't be an Xbox exclusive, they will get a lot of money from PS sales BUT it won't make Xbox sales increase and it won't help gamepass either.
2M in one month????!!??
And it's not even holiday season wtf
Sustain?
Lmao the first thing they'll do is fire 1000 people at ABK.
That's what companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft do when they acquire a new company.
Doesn't help that they fored 10000 people a few months ago.
Switch is old and declining. It will only beat PS5 for a few weeks this year when huge games come out. Xbox has never really been a factor.
This year is gonna be the biggest year in the history of PS. Just watch!
Even worse if you consider the fact that Series X is only 50% of the total Xbox sales...
I don't care about performance mode.
I care about having a minimum,of 60 fps.
Because it's 2023 and not 2007 anymore.
Because they sell us "amazing power and performance" to make us buy these new expensive consoles.
30 fps should NOT exist anymore this generation.
We should be having quality mode at 60fps as standard on all games.
They would have to invest billions into a new platform. Not really worth it.
10 really?
I played the early access and really enjoyed it (we desperately need new games like that!).
But I'll get the final version and see if its wortha a 10.
It's still competition despite what we think. They're both consoles.
And those are combined X and S numbers.
We know that the S is pulling most of the numbers. This means that the PS5 might be outselling the X 8 to 1! wow
PS5 might not be able to pass Switch in its lifetime (due to the pandemic boost and price difference) but it will definitely end as the second highest selling console.
5 years ago this would have been unthinkable.
LMAO
In a "year or two" PS5 Pro and Xbox Series One XS Ultra Super+ will already be out.
PS4 Pro came out only 3 years after PS4.
PS5 has already been out for 2.5 years. PS5 Pro will surely come out mid/late 2024 (slighty later than PS4 Pro because of the supply issues).
Exactly.
Even Apple, the most popular brand of all time, doesn't have 3 billion users.
Full of old people whon don't know what they're talking about.
Look at the age of their current and past presidents. They both belong in a nursing home.
Vgchartz estimated a 53% marketshare for Sony in USA and 47 for Xbox (removing Nintendo out of the equation).
That's pretty equal and the reason for this is the pandemic. Now that the PS5 is back on the shelves, the gap will heavily increase this year. Still, far from a monopoly for Sony.
Lmaoo monopoly??? Does this senator even know the definition of a monopoly????
If anything, MS and Sony have a similar marketshare in the US. The gap isn't big enough for it to be a monopoly.
And where is that 98% number even coming from???
These old bureaucrats are really out of touch.
If parity is enforced then it won't change anything. COD will srill sell the most on PS.
Yes MS will get the money and yes they will be able to make bundles. But that won't lower Sony's market share.
Something Microsoft Corporation™ is yet to understand.
Very funny how it became a political thing.
Republicans clearly took MS' side and are trying to turn the situation into a "good ol' american company is being bullied by a foreign company"
