That is what happens, when you have an American owner who only sees $$$. He is clueless as hell.Chelsea's spending habits alongside their lack of success are pretty aligned with his values.
kinda funny tbh
Insane that it is tracking ahead of PS4, I did not expect that at all.
Starfield is not saving the console. At best it will propel Xbox for a few months but once Spider-Man 2 and Christmas roll around...Absolutely crazy that its outselling the Xbox 2 to 1 in the US.
I dont even have words...Pressures on, Guess Phil will be on the way out.
It will definitely slow down. Console is approaching 40 million sales. By the end of the year they will be around 50 million which is when they will have to start cutting prices to get the people who only buy $300 consoles. I think the slim console will help them get the discless version down to $299 while they will keep the physical edition to $399.Crazy what lifetime numbers the PS5 would already have if it would have been available everywhere since launch. But lets see if the trend slows down or if the next couple months continue to show similar records.
I think it's outselling the Series even more than 2 to 1. Weren't there estimations for February that put them like at 195k for Series consoles and PS5 at over 525k?Absolutely crazy that its outselling the Xbox 2 to 1 in the US.
I dont even have words...Pressures on, Guess Phil will be on the way out.
Subscriptions slowing is not the news that companies who want subscriptions to become the future of gaming would like to hear.
But it's great that big titles like Hogwarts Legacy and RE4 are selling really well.
TLOU Part 1 is basically having a relaunch phase thanks to the TV series which proves the point that synergy between different form of entertainments can support growth.

PS4 sales in January of 2016 reached 35 million sold through. March was 40 million shipped. PS4 sold 40 million in month 31Nah, PS5 sold 30M by the end of the year and Sony intended to sell 6M from January to March. It's probably at 36/37M by now.
But it will surpass 40M until June for sure.
Jesus Christ...
For him to say something like this, things must be looking worse than expected.We're potentially looking at 650K PS5 's sold in the US...in March. Which is meant to be one of the quieter months. Insane.
It's more than doubling Series' sales in consecutive months in it's competitor's strongest turf.
The gamepass pivot killed the brand in regards to console. Current xbox leadership is the worse in its history(look at the numbers). Heads need to roll at that division.
Even worse they are not moving much software to make up for the hit they are taking on hardware.Xbox One also didn't have a sku on sale for half the price of the PS4...imagine if all they had was Series X.
I agree. They should release new consoles with more power.This gen is over really. Throw in the towel.
HIFI Rush?Huh? There seems to be an entry missing from the March Top 20 Games list.
In the US.PS4 sales in January of 2016 reached 35 million sold through. March was 40 million shipped. PS4 sold 40 million in month 31
If PS5 is now ahead of March total sales it's 40 million ps5's. Ahead by two months
React to what? They want to make the most money possible. They don't care about console sales as much as Sony does.Is Microsoft planning to react or ...? What is the story here ?
Phil should be fired with immediate effect
Phil is going nowhere because Xbox's revenue will match Playstation's revenue when the Activision deal goes through. Which is what they care aboutAbsolutely crazy that its outselling the Xbox 2 to 1 in the US.
I dont even have words...Pressures on, Guess Phil will be on the way out.
All those games would have been available anyway, regardless of acquisition.Better studios than Xbox one. they own Bethesda, ninja theory and obsidian. they will also own Activision if it gets approved, which should see them around 90m.
They have gamepass with day1 games, they are pushing hard for 3rd party deals.
All these are factors for higher sales.
Last gen was the same. They will give him another promotion. You fail upwards at Microsoft.Absolutely crazy that its outselling the Xbox 2 to 1 in the US.

Gamepass might have had an effect on software sales, but hardware? Thats on exclusives and lack of games, period. Last year was absolutely awful aside from Elden Ring. No reason for anyone to buy consoles. Sony had HFW, GT7, and GOW, cross gen games but still something. MS hasnt had a cross gen exclusive since Halo and Forza in 2021. Games sell consoles. When the industry took an off year last year, first party had to step up. I suspect had Starfield released last year in November, the sales would not be this low. Big exclusives generate excitement. People talk at work, at school, and that excitement gets others to buy in. MS shouldve moved mountains to get Starfield out last year. If they had $70 billion to spend on activision, they shouldve had a few million to get some support studios to pitch in or use their 24 first party studios to go help that gmae ship on time.The gamepass pivot killed the brand in regards to console. Current xbox leadership is the worse in its history(look at the numbers). Heads need to roll at that division.

Microsoft banked too hard on subscription gaming.. it's not working out for them. Where do they even go from here?
Dat gamepass effect.HIFI Rush?
Hopefully, the good US result was able to offset the lacklustre Japan numbers.The US saved Octopath Traveler II.
That is all I care about.
Thanks.
I'm actually really happy for Sony with this news because if this does not send a clear message that Microsoft needs to sort their release schedule out, secure third party marketing deals on big games like Hogwarts and Resi 4, I don't know what else does.
I tried to have this conversation before the new consoles released because of how fast they let Xbox One X & Xbox One DE die downThe gamepass pivot killed the brand in regards to console. Current xbox leadership is the worse in its history(look at the numbers). Heads need to roll at that division.
3rd party pub. Just get out of console hardware.Microsoft banked too hard on subscription gaming.. it's not working out for them. Where do they even go from here?
Xbox needs a cultural shift for sure. Gaming is about games and their output has been lacking. If you want people to buy into your thing you have to give them reasons to do so. "Day 1 on game pass" is meaningless when nothing compelling is releasing. HiFi Rush was great and all but it feels like a fluke more than anything else.I'm actually really happy for Sony with this news because if this does not send a clear message that Microsoft needs to sort their release schedule out, secure third party marketing deals on big games like Hogwarts and Resi 4, I don't know what else does.
Stop talking all that shite and step up, deliver good games and great deals for your customer base. Make the platform appealing. Go after big games for gamepass, but also marketing deals on everyday third party games. They have to change that narrative...just copy sony and spend the money...it's not hard really is it?
Drop the hardware. Go 3rd party like Sega.

I thought TLOU2 could've made top 20. That's unfortunate
They want the 30% cut of third party revenue their store generates.It makes sense. What incentive do Microsoft have to keep making their own hardware when people are choosing not to buy it? They can instead put their software on more popular platforms and make alot of money that way. Having their own hardware is holding them back. They gave it a go but it might be time to give it up.
They are in good condition.Microsoft banked too hard on subscription gaming.. it's not working out for them. Where do they even go from here?
Gamepass does not help game salesHIFI Rush?
Yes! Phill probably dealing to schedule a few interviews for more bs pr and looking for more publishers aquisitions.Is Microsoft planning to react or ...? What is the story here ?

Cloud gaming as worked out real well for google and amazon.They are in good condition.
They are set on Xcloud at this point.
It most certainly was a competition and Xbox was primed by all appearances to make a serious run at increasing market share. It just completely failed to execute when it mattered.It was never a competition.
You can't sell a lot of consoles after a bad period.
Xbox needs this Gen to sort Xbox one issues.
Their estimated lifetime would be around 80m-90m.
While PS is Targeting 130+m.
No. Switch sales were 4.11 million last year's first quarter, and they are declining this year. Something around 126 million would be more realistic.Thanks.
So that’s as at end of 2022.
Safe to assume it’s over 130 million now?
Subscription spend is slowing? Like other popular subscription services e.g. Netflix and Disney Plus. Heck even Netflix is pursuing other avenues (Games) and theatrical releases, to make money.
The numbers aren't growing as big as they were hoping for (pandemic era).
