But i through that Microsoft gaming division was DOOMED… So, success was expected here?
Stop being disingenuous. You know dam well it's not helping the Xbox platform itself. Microsoft gaming is on the uptick, Xbox is circling the drain.

This is how big corporations works, they are not a bunch of guys discussing in a gaming forums, they just want to make money no matter how… like they are doing right now… Stop thinking that they are going to care about us for god sake, that's not how the real world works.
 
Some of you needs to think bigger, 90 billions in a INVESTMENT is less taxes to pay for Microsoft at the end of the day…. Is not like they are losing money, is a Win win situation.
I didn't say anything about profits. Investment or whatever, they bought their revenue. It was already there when they bought it.

Exactly MS just cares about making more money and that's why they are making these moves. It sucks if the only reason you got an Xbox is cause you didn't want to miss out on games you thought were exclusive but it is what it is. Just sell the Xbox and get a PS if it matters that much to you.
 
Some might say it's a win-dows situation even
They avoid to pay a bunch of money in taxes because the investment and got two of the biggest video games companies, and they numbers are on green… Is a win win situation, they are not DOOMES as some of you think, now they biggest "competitor" is about to become their biggest store front.

Phil Wesley Charles Spencer III is known for having a ResetEra account, and probably here too. And a lot of his reactions/statements are direct answers to what is being said on twitter for forums (which is a huge mistake in my opinion, being reactionary rather than actionary)

Who the fuck said, they care about us? Forever the strawman.

Also Nintendo and Sony… If they have the money to do the same they are going to do the same….
 
time to leave that relic of a console named xbox behind.. lol.
its the only red line dragging you down.

You're welcome MS.

Us PlayStation users will buy your games.









We just won't buy your console. Keep the games coming tho. Thank you. I say this as someone who bought every MS console, but just gave away my XSX last year.

Eh, they don't disclose much number-wise (regarding the Xbox division)
The acquisition alone prevented Microsoft to pay a bunch billions in taxes… Like i said, is a win win situation for Microsoft… Sony knew exactly what Microsoft was going to do, and thats why they take Microsoft to court, but lose.

Sony didn't take Microsoft to court. Government regulators did

Gamepass is what preventing me to sell my Series X, i am not going to pay full price of an Xbox game on PS when i can only pay $9 dollars to have access to the whole Xbox Catalog… And that's why GP is so important for Xbox, sooner than later is going to work for Microsoft, especially now with prices increasing.

yeah any decade now, too bad the console, where the majority of their sub-base comes, totally cratered.

Yes of course those two companies care about making money. They are going a different route in the way they make that money though. I honestly don't think Sony or Nintendo are interested in managing this many publishers. The whole point of the hardware\console is to let others (MS, Ubi, Square, Epic, etc) make games while you collect 30% from all their hard work doing nothing but providing access to their userbase.

Nah. Should've work by now, or during the pandemic, now it's too late, it was never sustainable, and now it costs way more than before, they missed their opportunity. Like most subscriptions, they'll increase their price, include adds and make the whole thing unbearable over time.
 
Yes. I can read.

It's disingenuous BS. Can you read?
Dude think bigger…. This things takes time and business people know that…

Again, you fall for more of the BS. What's next, going to link me to a "bullets fired in game X" post by them?

Almost a decade now. You will never see that 100m sub dream.

I wonder if these preinstalls and preorders are due to Microsoft pushing early access for their games

Like i said… Well see.. But let me bookmark your post for the future. I could be wrong and you can be right at the end…. but i can see what's Microsoft doing clearly.
