Just watched this video and Benji disagrees with some statements made by Phil about being 3rd and how they cant compete. Benji for example mentions the turnaround from Wii U (only 13.56 million units sold) to the Switch. And he thinks games like Starfield can attract PS5 users to their Xbox ecosystem, without having them sell or abandon their PS5. If games are like Starfield are amazing, people cant ignore them and will buy Xbox consoles or/and Gamepass. Phil saying otherwise, makes him sound a bit like a defeatist. It is a pretty long vid but I found it interesting. |
Yeah I agree with that sentiment. Mainline Bethesda games are always an event in the gaming industry and they are now a system seller studio, or subscription service seller studio lol. If Starfield turns out to be Skyrim in space and more, Xbox will attract a lot of new customers whether switching from PlayStation or PS gamers buying an Xbox or subscription to play on the side.
Will it turn the tide entirely in Xbox's favor? Of course not lol. That would take at least a couple of years of consistent quality AAA releases once per quarter as Phil has been saying before that happens.
