I am sorry, but this take is crazy.But for some reason people are still making excuses for Phil Spencer and how MS handles their ecosystem. It’s been nearly ten years for the guy now. And he’s still just talking, talking, talking. Xbox only fans should be a little more angry. I honestly don’t get it. This report is again, much ado about nothing. Pure conjecture and an estimate that leaves things at, essentially, the status quo. I don’t see why this is even “news.”
this is why people like you never did u understand how this market workWait. They are predicting Xbox will have 27% market share, Nintendo will have 34% and Sony will have 39%?
It sounded (to me) like you were saying they predicted Xbox to be in first in 4 years, but they're just saying they'll still be last, but not quite as far behind? I dont think that anyone would predict that they wouldn't gain some ground, Xbox One was a low point and they've been spending a ton of studio acquisitions.
I'd think only having 27% by 2026 would be a disappointment to Microsoft.
It’s called delusion.How do you figure any of what you just said? If Sony is the one that can’t compete why is the forecast for MS to still be a distant third? What planet do we live on where the one “losing” is the one the other companies “can’t compete” with? Are we in the bizarro universe? Does Phil Spencer have a goatee I am missing?
So you expect MS to gain dominance in market share from two acquisitions?if Microsoft still unable to capture market after all these acquisitions, they should quit the gaming industry.
It's simple.How do you figure any of what you just said? If Sony is the one that can’t compete why is the forecast for MS to still be a distant third? What planet do we live on where the one “losing” is the one the other companies “can’t compete” with? Are we in the bizarro universe? Does Phil Spencer have a goatee I am missing?
two MAJOR PUBLISHER acquisitions, so yes.So you expect MS to gain dominance in market share from two acquisitions?
No, u never understood market work howthis is why people like you never did u understand how this market work
They are 2 major publishers. One of them has one of the biggest IPs ever in gaming. You're talking like they had acquired 2 Insomniac sized studios lolSo you expect MS to gain dominance in market share from two acquisitions?
"DFC Intelligence surveys show PS5 to be still the preferred console, but that might change as Microsoft's Xbox library grows thanks to the many acquired game studios."Software sales?
I'm curious how they think this...
Are they counting GamePass? If so... are they also counting Gamepass PC as sales of software?
With the straight sales figures we get updates on the regular, I can't see it.... (GFK, NPD etc)
Wait. They are predicting Xbox will have 27% market share, Nintendo will have 34% and Sony will have 39%?

They would be foolish to try to take on a Monopoly like that at this time.Xbox focuses mostly on North America.
Sony/ Nintendo are more of a global players. Where I live Sony has 90% market share.
That's where MS intends to keep it. They have never shown any interest in overtaking Sony/ Nintendo in console space.
They would be foolish to try to take on a Monopoly like that at this time.
It's basically wasted money. Once they have cornered the markets they are already strong in, it makes sense to try to break those other countries.
It's not because MS hates those countries, but they realize the realities of trying to break into those.
Don't really have the consumer behaviour data to prove it but we are seeing growth from xbox in some European markets (barring France for some reason).If MS intends, they can increase market share easily. There are obvious things they can do.

It's partially due to the ps5 shortage and imo partially due to the series s making buying into the ecosystem much easier due to the price point.
So are you an Xbox-only fan? Because you surely sound angry.Sony came bursting out of the gate with the PSX. It absolutely changed the market “overnight.”
But for some reason people are still making excuses for Phil Spencer and how MS handles their ecosystem. It’s been nearly ten years for the guy now. And he’s still just talking, talking, talking. Xbox only fans should be a little more angry. I honestly don’t get it. This report is again, much ado about nothing.

English is not his first language, you totally got him.No, u never understood market work how
Because what Xbox does, pisses him alot.So are you an Xbox-only fan? Because you surely sound angry.
If Xbox-only fans should be angry, then why are PS-only fans so insecure with Xbox? Something doesn't add up here.
"Over" is being used incorrectly int the title, as the data (pie chart) still shows Microsoft's share ranking below Sony and Nintendo by 2026.
Clickbait title of the article and, therefore, the thread. Mods should edit it.
That's where I don't follow.Because what Xbox does, pisses him alot.
Anything about Phil spencer makes him mad for some reason. Because what he does, goes against his beliefs.
Because he wants instant gratification. He simply doesn't understand that you need to rebuild organization, from bottom to top. Fixing relationships, and planning for the future.That's where I don't follow.
According to him, Phil Spencer just talks and absolutely nothing has changed since he took over eight years ago. It should be easy then to simply ignore Xbox and Phil because nothing is happening there.
Well I'm sure MS didn't spend nearly $100bn just to win some list warsSo you expect MS to gain dominance in market share from two acquisitions?
Most predictions fail, due to unforeseen forecast.As there is no punishment for failing a prediction you can make this lottery they call big data analysis in a reputable job.
Market share has different type of variables. Spending $100b wouldn't do that much.Well I'm sure MS didn't spend nearly $100bn just to win some list wars
Not that I place any faith in these analysts but MS spending that much money to gain 7% share of a $50bn market would be a pretty terrible investment.
