Microsoft wants to make the Xbox app the home of PC gaming. Hundreds more games are now appearing in the Xbox app as Microsoft looks to bring even more PC games to its ecosystem. I think this is the start of interesting changes for the Xbox app in 2025. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/2024/12/11/2...

Make Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One b/c titles available and you will have me there.

It makes me wonder if Xbox will take that approach or not. Considering that console exclusives from Microsoft and others have declined in quantity the big reasons to still buy an Xbox console are

-Backwards compatibility

-You like the infrastructure such as if your friends are on Xbox and smaller stuff like achievements.

-Game Pass (but that's just the added bonus of the first two aspects) but you can obviously get most Game Pass titles on a PC. 

The line will be blurred between console and PC even further if most OG Xbox and Xbox 360 BC titles go to PC. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
