[Bloomberg] Xbox's Hike on Game Pass Shows Cost of Lost 'Call of Duty' Sales (more than $300M across console/pc lost)

Apparently SneakerSO leaked Xbox’s multi-platform strategy in 2023 and working with OEMs. Tom Warren says SneakerSO knows a lot about what is going on with Xbox internally.

Inb4 cac rumors

I still think they have one final one and then move on but maybe they just fall back on their upcoming hardware plans

are you talking about? It's a PS2 game that I didn't have to buy because I ALREADY owned it dummy. Your nonsense post said Sony cut off games to force you to play them through PS+ which was debunked by the article I posted by Sony themselves saying if a game is released through PS Classics but you already owned it on PSN from earlier gens, you DON'T have to pay for it.


This is a different point now, and even then that's still not a negative because the one I had since 2017 is now a newer version with trophies and higher resolution.


This is a different talking point, you just made it seem like PS1-PS3 games are available ONLY through PS+ premium and you can't play them if you owned them. You just randomly pivoted to talking about BC because you saw your first knee jerk reaction post was incorrect.


You're always rushing to say stupid shyt to look like you're unbiased when you think you got a point and when proven wrong, you just spam some bullshyt. I clearly read what you said and it was properly determined to be completely bullshyt.





Your initial post was 100% INCORRECT, you do NOT need to have PS+ premium to play games you already purchased for PS1~PS3 during the PS3 era.

Loud and completely wrong dummy.

This is why you rushing to beat Tsushima so you can play Yotei

You spend more time arguing about games than playing games

They are in this mess mainly because they bought fukking Activision.

They should have commit to making good, award winning games the last two generations. There’s really no other way around it

 

[ALonelyDad]

They put their entire generation on the backs of Starfield and it ended up being just okay. Never put it all on one game, it wasn't fair to anyone that worked on it

Everyone has the solution they should have gone with. It's fairly obvious they were just destined to fail. There wasn't much they could have done to correct what happened. This isn't a company founded with passion about gaming it's money guys throwing the money from a parent company with infinite resources at the problem. Having a lot of money doesn't guarantee success.

Amazon had gaming aspirations and had a lot of money and where did that get them? Google had gaming aspirations as well. It's easy to say they should just make better games. The reality of that is very complicated.

Game Pass was an attempt to differentiate themselves from their competitors. The growth just wasn't there. The market as a whole doesn't consume enough video games to justify paying for that service especially at a price that compensates them for lost sales.

Microsoft has never had successful hardware. Xbox wasn’t going to be any different

I’m glad you’re now seeing how bad of an idea “netflix of gaming” has always been because you were convinced subscription gaming was the future a couple years ago lol

Don’t worry guys, Microsoft is surely going to be right about cloud gaming
