How come PlayStation keeps outselling Xbox even though it hasn’t got Gamepass?

[Rekkapryde]

Sony has shown a reluctance to embrace streaming like Microsoft.

Playstation Now was out before Gamepass tho. That's not a reluctance imo

I guess clown pass gang is posting this in hopes that no one actually listened to the podcast lol

he never says gamepass is profitable.

The number one metric that we can look at to see if our business is actually growing is, 'are people playing more on the platform?' There’s nothing about review scores, there’s nothing about retail sales of console, or retail sale of games; the number one sign that our platform is healthy and growing is actually engagement on the platform,” Spencer says.

To that end, this is what Game Pass is helping to grow, and as a result, Spencer says Xbox as a business is profitable.

the spin doctors are hard at work early, back to ecoooosystems

Xbox is very profitable and was never considered to be “killed”

They don’t deal in numbers or sales anymore, you don’t get it, prob never will. Ecooooosystems

The funny thing is, we've known for years without them explicitly telling us that they're not profitable because MS has refused to share Xbox numbers and sales - that's a tell tale sign.

We are profitable but we are not gonna release figures

Even Netflix with its 100s of million of subscribers is losing money, but somehow Gamepass isn’t

When you are bringing in $150 billion dollars a year, doesn’t make sense to break down individual projects. They don’t give numbers for any of their divisions individually.

Be dumb Sony stans

and that stunt they tried to pull earlier this year. like I said, they told on themselves with that move.

And when you bring it up, they alway go back to saying Big Daddy Microsoft pulls in billions a year! Yeah, but you ain't pulling no where near the weight on those profits.

But the Xbox division is bringing in essentially the tip money while the rest of the corporation is paying the tab...the fact that y'all keep trying to ride the wave of the other divisions is hysterical

Yeah, like i said before, microsoft is still unproven in gaming.

Nobody is claiming Xbox is making the bulk of the money. It’s a part of the profit and they made record revenue on Xbox last year.

Y’all claiming Xbox is some money losing failure is just not true at all

It’s not profitable they said it in the epic court case and we’re the only company not to report profits this year. Pretty clear cut

No they didn’t.

and again they didn’t report profits for any of their Individual projects.

I don’t even know where you can even buy an Xbox right now

So tell me TS, how can you buy something that’s not in stores (or drops very few numbers that gets sold out ASAP)?
