Just because you say it, doesn't make it true  Back to reality? Because Shika made a post about Xbox console sales we're back to "DOOMED!"  It'd be nice if Shika could make educated posts on a subject matter without someone else diving in with a hyperbolic take formulated based on absolutely nothing, Lol. I and many other Xbox fans are still very excited due to the Xbox showcase, I and many other Xbox fans accepted years ago that Xbox won't beat PlayStation 5 this generation, who on Earth thought a great showcase would change the narrative in Xbox sales versus PlayStation? Destroyed in Gaming News? What? Lmao. Again, all I see is excitement from the Xbox community lately about the future line-up. Starfield is literally right around the corner and the excitement for that is massive. You do understand that not everything can be perfect right? We can criticise one aspect of something without jumping to "IT'S ALL TERRIBLE, WE'RE DOOMED" Lol. Don't give a shit if Xbox outsells PlayStation or not, I don't even give a shit if they come close to PlayStation. You're too invested in beating the competition. You have a mindset of "If Xbox can't win, then they're a loser" or that for someone to win, someone has to lose, that isn't the case at all, otherwise we can say that Switch is the only winner in the console market and PlayStation is a loser as well, Lol. I only care that Xbox grows as a business and provides me with games to play, if Xbox is profitable then them beating PlayStation is irrelevant. It took 29 days for you to go back to your hyperbolic negative takes...It was nice while it lasted. |
I don't speak the truth but sales numbers don't lie. Also gaming news is positive? What was positive since the xbox showcase? The baldurs gate situation?Sales numbers? We are on Vgchartz a sales site so yeah sales numbers are partially important.
It is not about beating the competition but MS making xbox relevant.
Nobody asked for the Xbox series S 1 TB, go to youtube and you will find plenty of live Xbox TGS 2022 reactions that are rather negative and most will summarize it as ' Xbox announces games that were available for years on Playstation'. In face some of us in this thread played thos games on PS and then played it on xbox like the Ni No Kuni games. I mean can you even point out why TGS for Xbox in 2022 was great?
I am also so tired of 'but konni they showed Atlus games at xbox showcase' I am sorry but if you are a Persona/Smt/Atlus games fan you don't have xbox as a primary console, espeically when games like SMT Nocturne are available on PS5 and switch but not on Xbox.

This is why its hard to take you serious in some of your comments. Its like you do not understand business. Lets take your take on Altus and that MS has secured games from a series that really has not been on the Xbox console. Its not about if you are a gamer and if you wanted Persona that you would already have a PS or Nintendo console, Its the fact that MS is making deals with the bigger Japanese developers, getting their games on the system and on GP and thus moving the needle in that country. Think about MS relationship with Sega now. They actually getting new IP on GP from them. Think about MS relationship with other Japanese developers where they have secured games on GP or even new IP. These are relationships that need to be first secured, then nurtured. As a business, MS needs to start somewhere and once you start to get enough of the bigger guys over, making deals with the smaller ones become much easier.
I personally do not care for any of the Japanese RPG games nor most of Japanese content in general but I do understand that if MS is to expand their offering for GP, the diversity of content is a must and thus Japanese games are also needed to fill in the gap in content. These are not moves to make the PS or Nintendo gamer suddenly say to themselves. MS has Persona, its time to switch, that is not going to happen. What this does do when someone looks to purchase a new console or get GP and they are looking for excuses not to do so, it will not be because of lack of a certain series or type of game they want to play.
Everything is not about the Xbox vs Sony fan boy war and a lot of moves that are done are done strategically to expand within a market. It just seems you miss seeing what is being accomplished because you are way to focused on stuff that really does not matter. Just remember MS has lost the console war so being in the trenches caring about such things is a waste of time. The key is not that you can win every war is that can you win the battle.
