Do you have a source or citation to validate any of that?
Or is it another "Trust me bro" case?
Cute, considering I explicitly said in my previous posts that people shouldn't trust me and should just wait for it to happen.
So you think Xbox, the division,
could spend $7.5 billion to buy Zenimax?
Could buy ABK for $68 billion?
Spent hundreds of million on other studio acquisitions...
Can spend $1b a year on content for Gamepass...
Considering that...in FY 2021 Phil had to write to his boss asking for $1.6B to fund the subsidy to Xbox hardware, and that it has been stated that Xbox save money by not making Xboxes.
If they had a lot of cash then they'd be able to cover that subsidy themselves. Yet they did not.
Do you think SIE would be able to do all of those things, even though they for years had much more revenue? They would not. They've never released a console that hasn't come dead last. People need to remember that. Dead last every single time.
It's the central wallet that's kept Xbox afloat. As a division they wouldn't have been able to compete using their own creativity, finance and intelligence.
Judging by the hardware whispers (which I know nothing of) it looks like they've abandoned their original plan for this gen. That says things haven't gone to plan. Projections have been missed (same with gamepass). So it reads to me like there is a bit pivot coming.
