This is the dawn of a whole new era. Not that Xbox has suddenly done a complete 180, but we are now living in an age where its $7 billion purchase of Bethesda is coming home to roost, and for the first time in its history, one of its genre-defining games will simply not be coming to PlayStation.
PlayStation x PUMA orders open April 18, 2024, Priced between $100 - $120!
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

No one has time to invest 100 hours into a 30fps shooter in 2023.
Starfield is pure RPG intergalactic perfection. It will be the game of the generation. Bethesda are truly delivering the immersion of sucking you into there Nasa Punk theme with there game.
It is truly mind altering to think after that deep dive how shocking the game is. I salute them. Godspeed bethesda for the respect to truly giving us something this special.
Xbox gamers are gonna be eating well.
"pain" feels a bit hyperbolic haha, people's gallbladders aren't gonna explode cos they can't play the space game
When was the last time a PS fan was in pain for a Xbox game???
Xbox is on life support! It’s the next gen version of a Ouya!
