Xbox is already a zombie division. By the standard Economic theory the very existence of Xbox Division is an abomination and skewers the market away from efficiency. Xbox doesn't make money and would normally go away on its own, but it is artificially kept around and thus, stops anyone else from taking a crack at it. Xbox need to go because it has not earned the right to live.
Yeah but while some are making shenanigans to accomplish it XBox celebrated a WWF show match broadcasted worldwide, with them making suplex to the physical media.
Yeah sure. They are killing physical media and If I'm buying their products and supporting them I'm helping them. That makes perfect sense.

The iPhone funeral they made just shows their attitude and approach to everything.Competition is good and needed but Microsoft/Xbox has just brought toxicity for over a decade at this point.
1.They're the only brand with a network of paid shills installed on socials and in the press receiving marching orders to spin whatever they do as a brilliant plan and exactly the kind of future consumers want (until proven wrong like with Gamepass
2.They do active FUD and fake shitstorm campaigns against the competition.
3.They've created a group of cultists incapable of any rational judgement against them with whom the management interacts on socials to foster them.
4. They have tried to out spend competitors out of market by acquiring publishers taking advantage of their financial position, too bad that even this backfired spectacularly for Phil and the Xbox management because Microsoft's CEO had another plan in mind.
At this point they can just be a third party multiplatform publisher and f* off for me.
I don't know how anyone can look at that list and say with a straight face they are happy with Sony first party this gen.
It's only a vocal minority. Every time a poll is made here most of us, Sony fans, vote PS5 as a train wreck.
*crack on
It's, by far, the most boring console Sony has ever made.
I'd say it's more like everybody trying to make Fortnite all at once. Not a single brain cell in the whole industry management.
Nonsense, at least both Switch and PS5 Pro have an option for physical media. Xbox Series S doesn't and they even started to push Series X with no drive. Then they went on to buy a bunch of publishers and make their games digital only, on xbox. Why? Because MS pushed the death of physical on their platform. Nintendo and Sony haven't. They give you that option.
Your quote applies to you perfectly
All 3 companies would get rid of physical media if they could. Its just a matter of time.
Be nice if they actually had one.
Competition is not about keeping shitty companies around so they can pretend that there is a crowd
Not really, no. What makes you believe that PS or Nintendo couldn't release a console without a drive/cart option or release games as digital only? There is no "if they could" about it. They choose to keep that option and the matter of time is up to the user. I don't know why people make excuses for MS/xbox.
The only console who's not third party is Nintendo.Xbox
I'LL KEEP SAYING IT UNTIL IT SINKS IN!!
Why am I making excuses for Xbox exactly?
Nintendo just launched a new console with a physical card slot so for at least the next decade Nintendo isn't getting rid of physical media
Ok? Doesn't go against anything I said in the post you quoted. If they could get rid of it they would.
doesn't change the fact that first party exclusive titles list is bigger than third party list. i didn't say the the list is better.
Because you're trying to say that others want to do the same but for some reason can't. What privilege do you think xbox has vs the others exactly?
This isn't unique to consoles or video games in general. PC gaming hasn't had mainstream physical in like 2 decades. Physical will disappear from all media.
I'm saying that they can't because there is still a decent amount of consumers in both those eco systems that expect physical media. If say 80% of software sales were digital, which will happen over time, then they would stop producing physical media in a heart beat. Why do you think you don't get a drive with the pro? They are trying to move everyone in that direction.
Exactly.
Huawei's Harmony OS, maybe. Some important markets are cautious or have banned stuff from them, hence they developed the OS, but China alone is probably a big enough market to allow them growth. And if I can believe the first internet results, they are already around apple's market share in China.
The reason that a decent amount exists though is because they don't force their users into it by not giving them that option.

I just stated a fact claimed as false by another member.
This. Insecurity or anxiety because there are people who may prefer and enjoy things different from what they are used to, even though they are supposedly not affected by it.
