Will wait and see this AAAA game on first try surpasing all AAA games to really deserve calling himself without any modesty.

Since when name calling and ad homine restricts to personality?
You assumed shot term thinking and adjectified that.
Xbox is still selling, not great. And they keep it selling, which shows they still need the consoles, which contradicts your own claim of seeing short term.
Haven't said Xbox slow sales have to do with their games being available in PC (although you can't prove the opposite, as you said "have little to do"). I said that they will keep needing consoles sales to get royalties on their games because so far they won't get much royalties from 3rd parties on PC.

Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
Are you saying that I'm avoiding genuine discussion of the topic by attacking your character, motive or another attribute of you? I made a comment about your standpoint in this specific case, and I explained why. That's not an ad hominem attack. Perhaps if all I wrote was "You're short sighted", you could argue that it was an ad hominem, but that wasn't the case.
I never said console sales don't matter at all to MS. I said that they were broadening their gaming footprint, and that hardware sales don't matter if the increase gaming revenues from other sources, and I expect Microsoft (and Sony and Nintendo) to eventually become less reliant on hardware sales for their gaming revenue. If all you wanted to point out was that Microsoft's gaming division currently still is very reliant on hardware sales, you didn't really need to reply to me. I never said otherwise (in fact, I explicitly stated that hardware sales are currently an important source of users they can sell games and services too). I made some comments about what I expect from the future.

You are trying to put distance from it. But same as people who make dumb decision are dumb people, people that see short sighted are short sighted people. Also you made that from an assumption, so yes you tried to force it.
I was replying considering your previous posts before I replied with the doesn't caring if money came from X1 or MS Store and that HW sales doesn't mater if they receive money from other sources. Which for the visible future, you can put 3 to 5 years so not short sighted, they will keep their dependence on HW.

Calling someone short sighted.
Haven't said they can't gain marketshare, I said that at this moment they have very little. So they will keep needing consoles sales for play anywhere or even gamepass to do good.
Neither of those 4 are AAAA.

Of course not, no game is AAAA. It is over the top so that people know, that they are ambitious.
Don't make a big deal out of thin air.

Look, the Metro guys even called themselves AAAA

Anyone saying they are making an AAAA should at least beat all AAA to honor their balls on doing that... So unless they outsell CoD or GTA they have no place calling themselves AAAA.
The link to wikipedia doesn't say they named themselves 4A because they imply their games are AAAA quality or budget (because it isn't).
