The Age of Xbox

Paul writes: "Getting older has many downsides. One is that I have accrued so many pet hates, that I now need a zoo to accommodate them all. But taking pride of place in the centre of my hate zoo (which, by the way, is not a nice place to visit) is the predictable, condescending response I get when I reveal my passion for gaming."

Nobody should ever be ashamed of their love for the gaming medium

“First, the revenue angle. In fiscal year 2018 (which ended in the USA on June 30, 2018), Microsoft alone reported earnings of $10 Billion. That’s billion, with a capital B. And that’s Microsoft, whom we are led to believe have spent this console generation gazing wistfully at how well Sony are doing. Which, it must be said, is very nice indeed. Sony’s PSN generated $12.5 Billion in the 2018 financial year. For clarity, that’s the PSN store. Alone. Not consoles, not peripherals, not disk based sales. Just PSN. It speaks volumes that Microsoft’s $10 Billion suddenly looks tawdry by comparison.”

Idk how anybody can look at the industry leaders of this medium make so much and still believe that it caters primarily to children.

When you dont invest in exclusives like ps 4 does its easy to make billions off the hard work of 3rd party games, game passes best games are from 3rd party, microsoft this gen brought nothing new to the game (ip's), sony, on the other hand, created the decima engine, tons of exclusive ps4 only games and i can go on and on, xboxone this gen is irrelevant. I really wish xbox gave me a reason to own besides the late arriving X which microsoft themselves ignore power wise, they could of blew us away with crackdown 3 but they chose the lazy route.

What has that got to do with the article or the OP? Way to go being totally off topic and bring your own agenda into it. Can't believe people are up-voting you.

Teenagers certainly make up a significant portion of the userbase. But those are usually the people just playing COD and Fortnite all year. They're not really the ones going out buying all the singleplayer games and the indies. The actual buying market is so much bigger than just the teenagers.

As far as young children go? Yeah, I mean they're out there. They play games. But I think they're a far smaller segment than people think they are.

I just wish we got more games designed for adults. Games with a bit more maturity in themes and subject matter, and with a bit more sophistication and complexity.

Xboxone and live make a killing selling online access to fortnite and apex, sony and nintendo let u play totally free.

Kids spend a lot of money too. Or at least people spend a lot of money on their kids. Those Pokeballs, or those little dolls in a ball thing that are popular now sell tens of millions, at $5-20 bucks a pop.

Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers.
