Wow, Newgrounds. Is it 2006 again?
Days Gone desperately needed this. The way it abruptly cuts to load screens before and after cutscenes was really jarring and broke the immersion for me.
Wow, didn’t expect the Switch to be dominating by that much.
Any of the 200+ games currently on Game Pass.
I’ve always loved hearing Pachter’s insight into the industry. I’ve been listening to him since the GameTrailers days with Pach Attack, and he’s still fascinating to listen to.
Not true. A simple Google search reveals they had 64 million Xbox Live users as of Jan. 2019.
Everything down except Switch.
Cognitive dissonance
PS Plus used to be the undisputed leader in offering value with their online services, but they have really fallen by the wayside in recent years. Reducing the number of free games while raising the price, offering more and more obscure/old games, and with fewer and fewer multiplayer exclusives to make paying for online play worth it... Microsoft followed in Sony’s footsteps adding Games With Gold, but now they really are leading. Add in Game Pass, and there is no competition.
Microsoft has the highest market cap of any company in the world. They are currently the only trillion dollar company. So whatever they’re doing seems to be working.
No “lol gamingbolt” comments this time. Hmm...
Considering 4 million consumers across 51 countries were surveyed in the process of creating this list, I assume that consumers view Xbox as more valuable, hence the list!
Microsoft ranked 4th. Xbox ranked 87th. PlayStation did not rank.
It’s less about what Sony did right than what Microsoft did wrong. Microsoft’s failed announcement of the XB1 combined with its higher launch price is what put them in their current situation.
Amazingly, despite all that, they still are very close to Sony in game revenue. 10 billion to Sony’s 14 billion in 2018, despite the PS4 outselling them 3 to 1.

Because last gen it wasn’t true. The business back then WAS how many consoles you sold, and how many software sales that produced. That was a decade ago. We’re now entering the age of services and streaming. It doesn’t matter how many consoles Microsoft sells when you can get Game Pass on PC or stream the games on any device. Microsoft is in the best position heading into the future with xCloud and Game Pass. I’d be very surprised if they don’t pull in the highest revenue of any game company ...
The last true, traditional SC game.
Depends on the types of games you’re interested in. If you’re not a fan of Final Fantasy or JRPGs, it’s quite the opposite. This is the only conference where I just play on my phone 90% of the time and glance up occasionally.
Damn Flight Simulator looks good.
Instantly one of the best moments in E3 history
Well, time to play it for the tenth time!
