it’s really hilarious to see Sage arguing with this guy and calling him dishonest
Sage’s a complete embarrassment for this. I’m not sure why everything has to be a conspiracy for him.

Pays taxes in engagement and oxygen cylinders.At this point I would love to see how Spencer does his taxes. Just for the laughs.

Season 01: sales vs. players.Ah.....so not an apples to apples comparison. Seems some us were right to question these numbers.
Why is Xbox associated with so much misinformation, deception, weirdness and out right lies?
The people who run the show over at MS must be rutten to the core.
No wonder they have no luck, everything they touch turns to shit.
One of the biggest recent proofs of this smokescreen for me is Phil's "30% GPU advantage" email.This is the thing that gets me. These are internal documents.
Which means the lies, dishonesty and deception all extend within. It is so embedded within their culture that they are willing to do it during internal discussions/pitches. No wonder Phil Spencer still has his job.
Like DeepEnigma said, Spencernomics.

If you notice, Phil did not send that email to Marketing, Aaron, Matt Booty, or Jason Ronald, etc. He wasn't sharing his excitement with his team. That email was sent to Satya Nadell and Amy Hood, his bosses -- the guys who make the decision of keeping the lights on.
Phil did not believe the 30% GPU advantage bullshit. He was selling it to Amy and Satya so they don't burn him. He was feeding them the wrong information.

The chart was made by Derek Strickland from TweakTown and not an internal document from Microsoft. The only thing ‘internal’ is the ‘accountability margin’ table.
Why are multiple posters pretending there’s internal documents with Spencer comparing AM at Xbox to Operating profit at their competitors?
And there’s absolutely no information to show this is incorrect, is there?
Far more likely it’s correct, since Phil said the same thing in testimony, correctly comparing both with the exact same AM metric.
What the thread has conclusively proven is incorrect is Derek’s chart comparing different metrics AM vs Operating Profit vs net profit. And none of that comes from Microsoft.
Not exactly rocket science
Yeh so in this case we just have to take Phil's word for it? Wonderful stuff.
Unobfuscated finances for a division that is part of a public company shouldn't be so hard to come by.
You mean the testimony given in court as part of the FTC case, discussed in the presence of Sony? Same testimony where he clarifies the magnitude of the profit margin as ‘single digit’, distinct from ‘accountability margin’?
You should always question numbers coming from team Xbox to be honest.
Where did i say he did? And does he have to be? Who fed him this info etc etcDerek from TweakTown works for Microsoft now?
Where did i say he did? And does he have to be? Who fed him this info etc etc
So he says they run at a single digit profit margin.
Playstation ran at a 10.7% profit margin in 2022.

What he said at testimony doesn't align with what he attempted to claim in his email.
I mean we know one of the channels they use is astroturfers and more than a few have been busted here on GAFWhere did i say he did? And does he have to be? Who fed him this info etc etc
Also MS has been using different types of channels to spread misinformation or targeted propaganda.
Not sure why you are so confused?
Ancient Greece had King Midas, Xbox is King Mierdas.No wonder they have no luck, everything they touch turns to shit.
ABK will boost Xbox total revenue right right right ???
Yes, I think they generated some $8 billion last year with $2 billion in profit. So that's a massive boost to Xbox.
And luckily for them, they will not have to count the purchase of ABK as money spent "per say". So on the books, it goes down as pure profit and easy revenues, by not needing to do anything.
