I'm not talking about Xbox man, I stated facts that happened and posted facts from their earnings report. No way around it, I even gave reasons why the console sales went down, logical reasons, that had nothing to do with fanboy BS.
I never said Sony's sales were bad, look again please, the fact is hardware is down but the engagement, MAU, and sub-services did well, a good part of the very reason for the revenue and profit is what I was pointing out, why in blue bla...
Ok, man, I'm not arguing with you. I never said sales were bad, I'm pointing out that Sub-services, engagement, and MAU are important barometers.
The gaming market as a whole has faced a difficulty in a changing landscape. I just wanted to let you know that you never addressed that and jumped to something I never said.
I did not say it wasn't., that is some good numbers.
I am mainly pointing out that the other part of the story is the hardware decline YoY, and the positive from Sony own account iis the engagement, MAU and Subscription services.
It's something that a lot of people on here don't consider a viable means of counting success...Sony sure does. Sony is doing really well considering they are not really releasing 1st party games at the moment, and ha...
The hardware sales are down, they missed even the lowered target they set.
They are boasting about MAU and subscription services.
Strange things happening when that is not the headlines, but make it sound rather positive. People just aren't buying the same amount of consoles as they use to...times a charging.
Can't wait!
Gp games,
Cod: 6
Flight Simulator
Towerborne
Age of Mythology: Retold
Ara: History Untold
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Indiana Jones
Outside of GP
SF Expansion(outside of GP)
and standard monthly releases
3rd party games.
Like them or not, that is a lot for the next few months.
Rumor is Avowed will get delayed to early 2025, not because of any technical issues, but due to STALKER 2 being delayed. The reports are saying it's to space out games, as their GP holiday season is packed already.
I'm not sure, Bungie games have really good shooting mechanics, and they have experience with Sci-fi games.
Also, if the game isn't LS, they can take their time with level design.
lol,
You miss the mark every time and talk in circles. The hypocrisy that you are attempting to integrate into this situation is not relevant, look I'll show you an example.
"Once again my point was quite clear to anyone with a working brain or isn't being purposefully disingenuous."
I like that part though at least it was a bit new and avoided being a broken record. This is the very reason I usually stop responding to...
"What does Sony buying Bungie and laying off staff have to do with Microsoft? Other than MS doing something similar in the past it's completely irrelevant here"
Ok, there you have it, you answered the question, the similarity...competing companies do something similar and this topic is about that similar thing. My comment was to show the difference in reaction to a similar situation by you and the S Brigade when it concerned MS.
"Bringi...
The situation is very similar, with buying a pub and laying off workers, you jumping all over the place, there is an article for what you are talking about .
Again try to have some kind of structure to your arguments, you are all over the place, it makes any debate with you silly, you barely ever touch on any points, you just deflect to something else, or make your no point revolve around me, very squirly.
Shin,
Yes, but is not the only way to gauge success, especially when you have many different markets and a different business model..that is the underlining point.
Where you people see failure with the tunnel vision, MS is seeing growth and now profit thanks to some power moves, like purchasing A/B...you may not like it, but business is business despite your feelings.
What is bloody hell does that have to to with this situation or topic?
You sound like almost child like, please find anywhere that I have ever said anything about PS3 store closing? I don't give a shit about the 360 store or the PS3 store closing, so I don't comment on it.
People that care about it comment on it, feel how they want about it, but not me because once again I don't care, I didn't even click the article because it means very l...
Did it save jobs?
Are you implying that Sony owns Bungie and had nothing to do with this situation?
This is why I said technicalities about the deal , the situation is similar to what MS did and they were crucified.
MS also resuffled some employees, and had a lot of overlapping positions, it was a very similar situation.. even the title of this article is a spin.
See you are reaching, I clearly, explicitly said MS lost the console race.
My quote from above:
"MS has lost the console wars, this is know, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it. "
There is no goal post moving, if one company (MS) decides to not put all their eggs in one basket, and change their overall business model because they are getting whooped by the competition (Sony& Nintendo) how can you still use the same metric o...
Jag, I agree with a few of your points, other not so much.
"They’re responsible for industry consolidation, lack of innovation, and the mass watering down and monetization of games."
That is nonsense, super high and still rising cost of game development is the root cause of industry consolidation, it happened in almost every industry,.
"The industry is in the precipice of changing forever thanks to the morons at microsoft...
I don't see the issue,
MS has lost the console wars, this is know, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it.
Key term is "Console war"...that is why they are not fighting for it anymore, Xbox console are now, and in the future complement (easiest to access) to MS services...they have been screaming this for years now, and all of their actions clearly show it.
I understand why some people will keep harping on console sal...
MS buys a publisher, lays off workers they = the devil
Sony Buys a Publisher and lays off workers they = nah, it's all Bungie, Sony has nothing to do with it except trying to help.
I know I will see the defense force come out and attempt to give technicalities, most of which are speculations about the Sony/Bungie deal. But at the end of the day, Bungie is OWNED by Sony, and if we wanna say semi-independent, the same can be said about Bethesda and A/B,...
"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."
I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's r...
What the hell, MS has nothing to do with what I said, It's right there in the earning report, Sony reported that, not me, not MS, what is wrong with you people?
I gave reasons why, nothing to do with fan logic, it's just a fact that Sony lowered their forecast and still missed it, which means that people are not buying consoles like they used to, plain and simple.
Were PS5 sales good? Yes!
Did PS5 sales decline? Yes! (this is the meaning ...
