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 will also chime in and say as someone who enjoys his Xbox and interested in the games coming, my enjoyment does not increase based on Xbox somehow winning the console war or even really matching the PS5.  I stated way before Phil confirmed it that Sony won the console war and thus MS is not concerned about winning something they already lost but instead is concentrating on their stragety of content and keeping a competitive product.  You do not need to be number 1 in order to make enough profit that the business is viable.

I believe the issue with some people is that they are still in the trenches of the console war when that battle is over.  Instead I would be concerned when MS is not making deals, publishing games, reducing staff at key studios, cancelling a lot o projects, you know things that would actually effect me as a Xbox gamer not the e penis of my console is better than yours mentality.  Then again, I have all the consoles so my take probably is different since I purchase a console because it has games I want to play instead of if it sells better than its competition.

It isn't just about Sales but when I joined vgchartz we were in a period with Sony being like:

'Bioshock is coming to PS3'  We can already buy it on Xbox 360 for 20 bucks don't need a PS3..

'Oblivion is comin to PS3'  ^Same thing

'Eternal Sonata is coming to PS3'  ^Same thing

'Star ocean is coming to PS3'  ^Same thing

'Tales of Vesperia is coming to PS3'  ^Only in Japan tho so get it on Xbox 360

'Condemned II is coming to PS3' ^But condemned I isn't on PS3 so it is better to get an Xbox 360

' Mass Effect II coming to PS3' ^ Ugh if you like Mass Effect you should get an Xbox 360

And so on....   because of that foundation plenty of studios were like 'lets also release on X360 like Tekken/Soul Calibur and later on the big announcement FFXIII'.

This is a simular situation but Sony invested a lot of money to get some games, Persona 5/Tales games etc on PS3 to switch the situation around or atleast create a reason why anyone should want a PS3.

Ms is not creating a foundation so far...
