[The Game Business] - PlayStation active players significantly grown over Xbox in the US; +10M by end of 2024, up from +6M in 2022 (Ampere)

[Rekkapryde]

It’s going on almost a decade now, i’ve said the real fight is for everyone else OUTSIDE of consoles.

After all this time yall still fighting the console war.

Give it up.

this lying ass dude right here.

want us to believe you weren't console stanning (Which you still are) and now the goalposts moving.

I have ZERO issue with MS, but XBox is deadweight. MS Game studios existed before Xbox.

Once XBox is my stock will really take off.




trying to pivot and stan software sales when the opps is your biggest source of revenue for your software. Where we do that?

What matters is access to said games.


Facts.

7 billion gamers out there, would be foolish to fight with Sony over a couple million console sales that don’t even make a profit.

We see Sony following what Microsoft is doing in this space. If winning the console war was enough, Sony wouldn’t be signing deals with Microsoft to use the cloud to expand their reach.

And xbox isn’t dead weight.

$5.721 billion revenue driven by content, software, subscriptions, and services

All that is on xbox.

Your stock would be going in the incorrect direction if microsoft was fighting the console wars as you stans want.

You should be thanking Phil Spencer for his forward thinking.

Xbox is in the pockets of 500 million people EVERY MONTH

As an investor that’s a crazy good number and something that shows lots of earning and profit potential

It was over the moment the HBO shows started winning awards imo

 

[Half A $]

Lmao at bragging about it a 45% increase in windows gameass when nobody was fukking using it before.

5m plus people preferred to buy starfield on steam around launch instead of get a cheap gameass sub because it’s ass.

Clair 33 free on gameass windows, still has over 160k ccu on steam

 

[The Mad Titan]

that's not news

a decade maybe more of that

Yet here y'all are in another thread, saying the same thing in a different way.

 

[PS5 Pro]

According to ampere... what the fukk is an ampere
Now active users, is this from consoles only or does it include streaming which is something one company offers over the other?

Active users, so that covers ps4 and ps5 right?
Isn't Sony about generations... last generation

With Gamepass being better than ever, there's more and more reasons to join that than to invest in a new console. Sales are down across the board but Gamepass is thriving. I'm going to assume business is good. Did you know Gamepass got a new TMNT GAME today? My son is gonna flip when he gets out of school. Doom drops in 6 days but I have to play the previous games first, backlogs

Just for the record, this guy is upset that games can sell and be in Gamepass

Moana 2 sold extremely well but is ass compared to Moana 1. You idiots keep focusing on sales while the actual games are secondary. You have fun paying for games you can play in Gamepass, I hope your DVD collection is as vast as @Rekkapryde ps3 hard drive full of movies

Immediately back to being disingenuous I see

Correct me if I'm wrong. The console market is not that big in the scheme of things which is why they are gravitating towards PC. Xbox lead this charge decades ago and you had nothing but negativity to say. Then Sony did it too and it's "that's just our old shyt"

The next Xbox will have Steam, Gamepass and ps now available to use. The question then becomes which service is best? No need for consoles, just which service is best. It's not close which service is best, not comparable, not neck and neck. None of that. And you know it. So the only argument you guys been saying for years is how you can't be profitable doing that.

Guess what, they making profits, service is improving, and you're in denial about how great the service is. In fact, you told yourself and others that porting a dead game to PlayStation means they going 1st party. So they spent likely a trillion dollars to create the cloud to handle the service that is a hit. Nah, scrap that like concord and just join Sony who has already joined you (relationship deepening they said... no pause afterwards either)

I guess in a way you can say they went first party since they won't need to make consoles anymore. PlayStation will be a Microsoft product in the cloud is all I'm saying

Xbox achieved its best-ever Q3 with $5.721 billion revenue driven by content, software, subscriptions, and services, despite hardware declines.

And they reward their loyal customers by putting the best version of their games on PS5 Pro, increasing the cost of all hardware, and leaving them to stan a subscription service and multi-plat publisher


You dudes look sorry as hell praising this nonsense that means fukk all to actual Xbox owners. Whoopty fukking doo, MS gets publisher checks from Sony now. You must've overlooked how the Xbox brand is a walking cuck joke and how they tanked the little cultural cache they had left to appease microsoft shareholders.

Have fun renting Doom on gamepass tho, the best console version won't even be on Xbox

Outside gamepass what is really the reason to have an Xbox over a Playstation? I guess the only thing I can think of it is friends that you play online, but we're even having flagship Xbox series on PlayStation now. It only makes sense these numbers are what they are. You see people playing games like Last of Us, Spider-Man or FF 7 Remake. Even if you are patient, they will never come to Xbox.

Could replace PC for PlayStation for what I wrote above. Sony does have a ton of timed exclusives and the majority of them only end up on PC. Almost never on Xbox. Well, with good reason.

What exactly does Xbox want to achieve here is what I question.
