MS takes a cut when it happens on the entire Xbox platform which isnt limited to consoles
we have seen actual evidence of documents reporting that PS consoles dont make much profit and neither do PS exclusives
consoles are the least important, not saying they arent important at all because 30 million Xbox Series sales is great but it's more about the studios and their games and how much profit the entire business earns
And where is the Xbox platform meeting its most users.
Nobody is leaving Steam.

wtf do u mean nobody is leaving Steam?
HUH???
did u know that u can have Steam, Xbox and Epic all at once
Pretty sure they’ve only said that once..
And the main issue with Xbox currently is the lack of worthwhile exclusives; Hi-Fi Rush was their 1st win since 2021 and their only win of 2023 (Redfall, Starfield and Forza Motorsport all failed to deliver), so for them to hand out their only win to the competition that’s absolutely trouncing them in sales (PS5 is outselling Xbox in a 3 to 1 ratio) is BAFFLING.
If it were Nintendo then I’d get it cus that’s the kind of audience that’s really into these kind of games, but it’s PlayStation we’re talking about here, their main rival.
Xbox being more competitive and aggressive is better for everyone cus it’ll force PlayStation to not be complacent.

Hellblade 2
Indiana Jones
first half of 2024 looking juicy

Nobody is buying s*** off Epic or the Windows Store. Microsoft only gets that 30% cut off the Windows Store. That is why they care about hardware. Hardware is THE point of contact for most people in Microsoft's ecosystem

It used to be Starfield, Forza, and Redfall that made 2023 look juicy... well...

Hi-Fi Rush
Starfield
Forza Motorsport
Sea of Thieves new content
Halo Infinite new content
all of the above was loved by millions of gamers on Xbox consoles and PC and hated on by PS-only broke bois and dudes who put video games first in life
Redfall was worked on before the Xbox acquisition, a Zenimax mistake with little care and rushed out before Starfield, however it had a big patch in October when the game SHOULD have released and yeah it's nothing amazing but as of now it isnt the worst 4 player coop out

Forza Motorsport is a f***ing disaster bruh please lol
Forza Motorsport is a f***ing disaster bruh please lol
man the way u taking this serious enough to start hating tells me a lot but okay lets be serious i guess
i have around 100 hours in GT7 and about 20 in Forza Motorsport and i prefer Horizon 5 with like 600 hours, im not gonna say im a huge FM fan but facts ahead
Forza Motorsport is the only racing game on console with on track ray tracing and the cars actually swivel rather than stiffly float through the tracks
and btw that RT looks GREAT on a brand new 75" LG and going back to GT7 feels like the biggest downgrade lol even the atmosphere and overall lighting in FM just feels fresh and new
all in all when Forza Horizon 6 is on the way soon none of the above matters

Im not hating bruh. The game has a 37% on Steam and fell out of the top 50 most played games on Xbox. I'm contesting your point about it being enjoyed by millions lol. It is not "PS-only broke bois" hating on the game man
All that on track ray tracing just to look noticeably worse than competitors, per Digital Foundry. I f*** with Forza but the latest Motorsport is an absolute, unmitigated disaster.
you don't buy an xbox for exclusives
you get one to save money on games cause they are region free
Hi-Fi Rush is getting actual DualSense support, according to the Steam and Microsoft Store listings
S*** is happening huh?
Wtf is you doing Microsoft Gaming
Microsoft doesn’t make a profit on their consoles and honestly they don’t need to
Exclusives are largely just a formality, they see the future in expanding their Xbox ecosystem (Game Pass, exclusives, etc.) outside of their consoles
No one is buying an Xbox to play sea of thieves or hi fi rush. This just increases sales
Starfield and hellblade and Indi tho yep xbox done for
Xbox is dead
So amazing
Sony gonna increase prices to $100 a game with no competition

Yeah they’ve gone on record previously saying if they could have Game Pass on PlayStation and Nintendo then for sure they would.
But the main issue with Xbox’s new strategy is the lessening of competition. Sony bout to have a monopoly in the hardware space (Nintendo is also relevant in this discussion, but it seems in general people are comfortable owning consoles from those two platform holders simultaneously).

Oh well blame M$ for sucking
Sony gonna increase prices to $100 a game with no competition
Every State of Play from now on is gonna be filled with shovelware cus PlayStation doesn’t even have to try anymore
