Right now it's basically PS5 & Switch 1 & 2 expanding their user base.

Even Portal & Meta Quest is gaining ground from under Series consoles feet.

 

[Maddoxswe]

You forgot Steam, which took Xbox's place in the gaming wars.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Gaming existed before Microsoft and it will be better after Microsoft

Can you expand on this? What objective data are you using?

 

[Bridges]

So weird, there have been plenty of years lately of them failing to gain ground but this will be the first where they don't even try

Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Up 45%, Now Available in Nearly 30 Countries - Xbox Wire

Xbox Cloud Gaming continues to spread around the world, bringing the excellent Game Pass catalogue to more players than ever before.

news.xbox.com

Cloud Gaming grew 45%. They aren't worried about selling few more consoles. They just expanded into India, which is the largest gaming market, over 500 million gamers.

For hardware, they are going after the premium hardcore userbase of Pro consoles, with Magnus. Users with the highest spend capacity and usually highest attach rate.

I mean this holiday the other devices are front & center being bought up for the holidays while Xbox consoles are pretty much sitting this one out.

So just "trust me bro."

If you had data that proved a VR headset and accessory device were selling more because Xbox is selling less, that would have been a more interesting thread.

 

[Ziglax]

Xbox hasn't really been a thing since the x360 here anyway. MS is a software/service company and it's hardware has always been kinda niche.

 

[Xbox 360 slim]

Xbox is a controller company for me, nowadays.

The hell are you talking about?

What data do you need other than reality?

Iconera is that way>>>>

I don't even know what that is

 

[onQ123]

Made what up?

 

[adamsapple]

Made what up?

x is taking ground from under y, without citing any factual data.

ergo, made up.

 

[Sephimoth]

What's XBOX?

Serious answer: It'll make Sony more lazier than it currently is (if you can believe that)

Please stop it never ends well .

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Expanding the user base? You mean Xbox refugees seeking asylum on Play Station, Steam and maybe some on Nintendo.

But that's it. Those are the effects of consolidation; the weaker ones go bye-bye.

 

[MrAlwaysRight]

My brother in law asked for a series S for Christmas, his last console was an OG xbox one.

My sister in law paid more for a Series S than she could have paid to get a PS5, but he was adamant he wanted an Xbox, what on earth.

 

[Minari]

It simply wont affect shit

I hear that stated quite often, but that demographic isn't anymore interested in a next gen Xbox than any other demographic is. I am in that core demographic but after this gen, I wouldn't even contemplate purchasing the next Xbox.

 

[EverydayBeast]

When it comes to series consoles they were scrambling for chips, it's an opponent for SONY. I think Microsoft will support consoles

 

[Generic]

Sony will increase the price of everything.

 

[Jetpac]

Sony will increase the price of everything.

These fanboys have no idea what a true one console (switch doesn't count) ecosystem will do.

You need choices

[salva]

Nothing will change. Xbox will still provide everyone with games while the other first parties don't

 

[bitbydeath]

Sony will increase the price of everything.

There was a thread about them decreasing prices and everyone bitched.

There's no pleasing people.

The hardcore gamer

You mean the PS2 era? The era everyone loved to bits?

 

[semiconscious]

a better question might be 'how would putting forth an effort to sell xbox series consoles this year affect the fact that no one really seems to want one?'...

Selling more Xbox hardware decreases their profit margins, and CFO Amy Hood set a 30% margin target in 2023. Coincidentally that is the year where we started to see Xbox hardware sales backslide.

Sure, Phil, sure.

Nah, sony having competition was good. Ps3 vs x360 era was legendary. Now everything is fucked because xbox fucled up and they didn't even try to unfuck it.
