Check Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk sales split.

It’s quite good actually. About half of PS.
Check many, many other examples where it isn’t even close (assuming you’re talking Xbox) such as CoD, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Tekken, FIFA, and the list could go on and on.

There’s a reason their games are coming to Nintendo and PlayStation platforms.

Most of it is incomplete data.

If it were so bad, publishers would be skipping xbox.

Opposite is happening actually.

It was bad enough for Microsoft to put their games on PlayStation. Unless you really want to live in a fantasy land that it is a charitable donation.

So, when we put the goalpost back where it belongs, my point to him remains. It wasn’t about 3rd Party games.

Right, because the market dictates that. Xbox exclusives weren’t pulling their weight.
But they do help to bring other players to platform.

Imagine if Indi and Doom were exclusives, you would be deluded if you think that wouldn’t increase hardware sales.

But they are choosing not to pursue that. I think what they are doing is innovative. Will be good for industry.

Like Starfield?

The only delusion is to assume them moving to a full multiplatform strategy is anything but a response to lagging hardware and software on their platform. Doom was always going to launch multiplatform and Indy did launch as a console exclusive (bring up the data and tell me how that sold on Xbox).

Many of their future games and all of the recently released games would be launching as/remaining exclusives if Xbox hardware was doing better. MUCH better, however. When you are being outsold 3, 4, 5, even 10:1 by your nearest competitor, your platform is in trouble. That’s when you look to BOTH of your competitors who have no such problems.

So, yes, going multiplatform is going to work for them, because keeping their games exclusive didn’t.

lol the idiot in command, actually stopped indy ps5 version, (by forking out god knows how much to disney) only to be forced later by his boss to do it anyways.
while doing they so also missed day1 hype-promo cycle on ps5, ending up with a flop.
anyone thinking they have any strategy other than "pivot! pivot!" is even bigger moron than spencer.

Yeah, much of the catastrophic damage done to Xbox can be laid at Phil’s feet. The platform was actually a good one (never quite one of the titans that Nintendo and PlayStation are, but it was worth it to invest in while it thrived).

Now? It’s been made a mockery of. It shouldn’t have a future as a potential “Xbox-branded PC”, but a full-fledged console continuing to duke it out with the best! But, here we are.

Its funny you are trying to downplay it by calling xbox branded pc.

When that will be revealed, it will be most sought after item.
It’s not downplaying anything. If it isn’t a traditional console, but a PC with the Xbox name on it, that’s what it is.

“Most sought after item”. I’m not an Xbox marketer with a crystal ball, so I can’t say that.

PC, most likely. Xbox struggled to sell its own games. So, they needed the advice and are now rectifying the issue by putting their games on consoles that have little trouble selling games. 🙂

By the way, it’s good to see you beginning to accept that “Nothingburger” is actually much more. Noticed that you went into hiding as more Xbox games were announced for PS5.
A "nothing burger" that turned into a supernova of change for Xbox.
 
Some people were also convinced Xbox series would win the generation, perhaps let's wait and see before making any grand statements this time, shall we?

Common sense. You'd think, especially after this generation, that the Xbox faithful would be a little more humbled. In some cases, I guess not.

Sigh, I also want Indiana Jones, if only I have enough funds. I'm saving my money for Doom Dark Ages, Death Stranding 2, and Stellar blade x Nikke DLC. And I will have allot of backlogs since I'm about to have Astrobot and DS1 Directors cut Ps5 version. .

Why would this be the case ?

Xbox Series generation has delivered the goods. Hardware, games, gamepass as a great service.

I know you are trying to methodically prove that sales weren’t good for Series consoles. But, as an xbox customer, why does it matter to me?

I don’t have to prove anything (Microsoft’s actions speak for themselves) and you can think what you like. You quoted me and I responded.

HeWhoWalks HeWhoWalks dude, why do you war so much? Can't you just enjoy that great games are coming out.

This weird thing that you do has me very confused. You play that everyone is in their feelings etc but you are the one so quick to jump at Sonys defence st every opportunity and to take every opportunity to attack Xbox or people who enjoy playing games on that platform.

It seems like playstation fans love Xbox games as they are always the top of the charts. Even over Sony exclusives like death stranding.

It seems the large volume of playstation owners are over any warring and just want great games.

I find this all a bit odd.

“Why do you war so much”?

Dench, you really should stop saying shit like this.

1. you have this history and have been banned for it.

2. you jump into discussions and often contribute to the “warring” that you claim others do. And you only do this when Xbox is on the receiving end, ironic for a “neutral/ I’m awesome” party.

3. Why not actually try to refute the points I made? I quoted someone who went off topic about God of War and Last of Us (I notice that you say nothing about stuff like this).

So, don’t make it about me. If you have a contribution to the subject matter, I’m happy to discuss it.

This thing will provide very little that you can’t get elsewhere, especially compared to previous “Xbox”s.

It will, in fact, be quite a niche device in terms of popularity and sales.

Yep, especially if it’s pricey. Their potential handheld might fare better, but it too will be a relatively small corner of that market with stuff like the Steam Deck and Switch 2 out there.

All about software for them going forward, so I doubt Microsoft really cares much at this point.

I was banned aaaaages ago for 2 weeks. I have moved on from a lot of that stuff.

I'll never forget that Giallo Corsa Giallo Corsa told me to take a second and think if the post is worth responding to. It really helped. I'm not trying to say I'm holier than thou etc. I have been there and I'm trying my best to move on. I see the tell tale signs in your posts sometimes that's all.

I will respond properly to your points at some point but I'm in amsterdam and feeling loved up at the minute.

Have a great day bro.

I don’t need a shrink Dench. It’s a video game convo, not Church. 😛

As for great days, I rarely have a bad one. Again, this is a gaming forum. I refute points. Taking it more serious than that is silly.

Enjoy your day.

Never disputed that.

Stuff like steam deck, xbox one x, ps5 pro etc all are niche but sought after devices. I am thinking upcoming xbox will belong to same category.

IMO Xbox series belongs to same category but currently there is a confusion about their hardware plans that will clear out once they show next gen hardware.

ain't nobody buying an Xbox for Doom & Indi, now if MS had gotten there way and made COD exclusive, then yes i dare say they would've seen a jump in sales... crazy to think that MS made a 66 bil bet on getting COD Exclusive to GP, mad bastards

Installed it on my Series X with gamepass and had a quick blast today through the first jungle bit.

Was ok, looks amazing and sounds great on my lovely new Philips X2HR headphones.

Will keep trying it and see how it goes - my GP runs out soon.

So why do you buy any platform?

This is what it would have taken, I think! Obviously existing contracts and the like put paid to that, but COD exclusivity would have seen a seismic shift in sales.

What if they are just playing nice until the agreements expire? Then BAM! That would be fun to watch.

Opposite is happening actually.

Pretty much all that needs to be said on the “Xbox owners don’t buy games” bullshit.

On one side you have PlayStation warriors with room temperature IQs. On the other side you have publishers who have to make money. And their games are coming to Xbox. Clearly it’s a worthwhile investment for them, despite what GAF would have you believe.

not even sure of that, cod exclusivity would have probably hurt cod more than playstation.

ms simply didn't have patience for phil's stupid console wars, especially after spending 100billion, console sale collapse and gamepass fail.

Poor Chris Dring and Piscatella constantly under attack for merely reporting sales data.

Hey Shock, how do you like the Philips ? Got 'em a few weeks ago and...I had to sent them back due to the excessive clamping force, I shit you not when I say that I had migraines after using them for more than 30 minutes...
Sound was nice though even if a little bit too "boomy" for my tastes with their sub-bass.

PS: how are you driving them ? DAC ? straight through the joypad ?

Cheers
