They also declared console has reached saturation, and PC Game Pass is their biggest growth potential. I suspect that's part of why they are de-prioritising their console hardware while talking about their next-gen being the biggest technical leap ever:
They declared console has reached saturation because their console sales keep declining. Sour grapes and all. Otherwise, there is always room for growth.

For example, Sony onboarded 30% new users (who never used a PS4) and that, too, at the start of the generation. That number would have only increased by now.


Sony already had the dominant marketshare. For Xbox, this potential audience group would have been much higher.
they're clearly not expecting to sell 100 million Xboxes anymore.
That's what they want people to believe now. But they clearly were expecting to outsell PlayStation at the start of this generation, back in 2020.

Luckily, my quote reads: "they're clearly not expecting to sell 100 million Xboxes anymore." And, as you'd note if you read my posts, we were actually discussing Xbox's future plans. As for the rest of your post, you don't seem to discussing anything I'm actually writing about, so I'll leave you to it. Best of luck.

It’s his condition, he locks on a topic not related to thread/previous posts and keep explaining people how Xbox is bad and PS is better. Usually in Xbox threads. He and couple of users are doing it repetitively and never get banned from this thread even if it is blunt console warring, on the hard if you do something opposite (eg. PS bad) you might get ban or at least thread response ban.

Slow down with the victim complex.

This is a thread about console hardware decline. ZehDon ZehDon mentioned Microsoft's statements about the console market being saturated. I presented data that there may still be room for growth for them. I don't even think that Zehdon and I were on a different page. We just added to the conversation, and the topic.

No one here is saying "Xbox bad. PS better." It seems like that's all you have on your mind, always.

"Xbox rocks. PS sucks" - if that makes you feel better for a second.
