Lol have you been here? This whole acquisition thing has only been happening for the last 3 years or so It's pretty far fetched to say they built their brand on game acquisitions lol. Xbox has been around for the past 20 years.
The acquisitions were necessary because they did not have enough in-house studios (sidenote: literally everyone was asking them for this, PS fanboys were bragging about how sony has so many more studios than Xbox, now that Xbox has more studios ...
Damn 3rd Sony studio to shut down this gen. What's going on over there?
@SonyStyled
The console is not obsolete for gamers who like to play on Console.
There's also the Steamdeck which is a great combination with Xbox if you run windows. You can play your Xbox games and Gamepass games on the go.
Playstation has no handheld to counter that.

HiFi Rush is AAA, So is Halo Infinite. Halo Infinite just lacked multiplayer content. IT's a great game overall.
HiFi Rush, Halo Infinite, High on Life, Ori 2, Age of Empires 4, Flight Simulator, Psychonauts 2, Outerworlds, Tell me Why, Gears Tactics, Gears 5 Hivebusters, Grounded.
These are some of the 1st party titles that came out this gen besides Forza Horizon 5, all highly rated games. Most exclusive to Xbox. Not even counting all the AAA GamePass titles we've gotten and didn't need to spend a dime on.
If you think Xbox users have nothing to play, you're will...
Lol pathetic bandwagoning is what it is.
We literally just got HiFi Rush which is a GOTY contender and Pentiment which is an amazing experience. Gamepass games have been nothing but AAA games and a mix of high level indie games. High on Life was a great game too that's also still exclusive to Xbox. Last case of Benedict Fox just came out and it's amazing.
One bad game and suddenly Xbox is doomed? Gtfoh. Is Sony going to sell Playstation because of...
Goddamn. Ain't no way two women kissing got you this twisted 🤣
The display alone is a killer feature tbh.
It has VRR so games that run with unstable frames look way better.
That's not the same deal that Sony and Nintendo get lol
It would obviously be through cloud
I mean its not like Xbox doesn't get 3rd party exclusives.
We just got High on Life and Stalker 2 is also exclusive.
We're not nearly as worried about it as you seem to think. Too many games to play on GamePass.
Is that why more people play Sea of Thieves than any Sony games? Because it's so bad? 🥲
Fable is not coming out? Did you just cancel it? 😂 You want Xbox to fail so bad lmao it's not working out is it? They got Bethesda and about to get Activision Blizzard. Must be hard to cope with 😭
Rare is working out pretty good. Considering Sea of Thieves is their biggest IP and people love it. It probably made more money than any of Sony's IP.
Fable is coming from Playground games if you weren't aware.
Nintendo games are proof that IPs can survive without talent.
I've seen indie games do Pokémon better than Nintendo. Most of their games besides Zelda would be considered garbage if they weren't attached to one of their beloved IP.
Also Sony has closed down as many if not more studios than Microsoft. This narrative that Microsoft mishandles studios is nonsense.
They're still at Xbox. Pretty good chance they'll still get a bonus since the salary is handled by Microsoft.
They left Bethesda to join InXile.
Both are owned by Xbox.
Their work at Bethesda was probably done. This is a good thing.
Pretty cool that talent between the many Xbox studios can now just seamlessly jump between them.
Activision Blizzard is also gonna be a huge benefit for this. I Imagine some talent from the Call of Duty studios will go to 343i to help with Halo. Or maybe one of the studios will start working on a new Halo Spinoff
Like Dreams and Forespoken?
Thats why Sony only has Spiderman 2 and Horizon dlc this year.
And Xbox has HiFi Rush, Redfall, Pentiment, Minecraft Legends, Starfield, Forza Motorsport and Hellblade 2 this year.
Thats not even counting 3rd party games.
Xbox has way more exclusives this year than Playstation does.
