Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.
Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.
The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.
Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.
Dying breed? that's an understatement, They should add XBox fans on the endangered species list along with white horn rhinos at this point LOL.
1.1m ps5 vs 200k xb in just 1 month on the latest sales report.
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console worldwide with 1,137,164 units sold for March 2025, according to VGChartz estimates. The PlayStation 5 has now sold an estimated 75.28 million units lifetime worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 547,216 units to bring its lifetime sales to 150.25 million units. The Xbox Series X|S sold 263,531 units to bring their lifetime sales to 32.73 million units.
Year-on-year so far:
PS5
• Jan. -31%
• Feb. -7%
• Mar. -11.1%
X|S
• Jan. -48%
• Feb. -21%
• Mar. -27.5%
Funny how the console with 'no games' outsells its key competitor by nearly 1 million units.
Its because the console selling 1m units has all the games, Including all its key competitor games LOL
OT: even 8 year old handheld switch still outselling xbox OUCH!
Civilization 7 day1
Pretty excited for KCD2.
Loved the original. Some of the trailers (even some of them recent) looked to have genuinely dodgy performance but all the hands-on have been nothing but glowing, I watched the first few hours on Twitch (Cohh carnage) and man, it looks fantasic and seemingly runs great too. Sure there will be day one bugs and jank, but i dont think I'll mind it one bit.
All about Avowed for me
Only things I'm looking forward to in the next coming months are Ghostpia: Season One, Virtual Girl @ World's End, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy and Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Tokimeki - Roadmap to the Future.
