Damn Y'all, decided to play some Crash Team Racing and the game needs a tutorial lol tried to play it like Mario Kart and got my ass handed to me badly. Starting to get good at it but it requires a lot more skill than MK.

I started playing it when it was added to Game Pass. It's a surprisingly great alternative to Mario Kart. Split screen is fun and it's filled to the brim with content, tracks, characters, etc. It's less "kiddy" than Mario Kart which I prefer.

Yeah because so many fans thought the sprite was a dog they made a dog minion called Gesthal in FFXIV...

Ahh makes sense, never played FFXIV.

I might try it one day....

Is it time? It would lead to less revenue and profit, possibly even a loss. But more people would be buying software, subscriptions, and controllers and the like. 

A Series X (disc drive) with a normal price of $400-$450 would be nice. 



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: 40 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 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)

Feel like xbox doesn't care much about marketshare since their new strategy is turning everything into an xbox, which is probably why there was next to no deals this christmas. Can't help but to think this new vision for xbox will eventually bite them in the ass but I guess we will see lol

They had those deals in Thanksgiving/Black Friday week last month.

I dont think they care for marketshare since they hold Activision/Blizzard, Bethesda and a few others IPs which will likely net them revenue and profit.

They are likely bleeding money from the hardware all these years and the higher ups are wanting a much better return.

Its possible that they could take the entire Xbox ecosystem and make it like Steam except much more accessible since Steam is mainly accessible through 3 platforms right now (Windows, Mac and Linux).

I think in the long run, can see a Xbox (Steam like store/app) appearing on other platforms and devices. Would make a good reason to revamp the Xbox PC App.

Huh, maybe it was just my timeline I saw almost nothing for xbox, some good PS5 deals tho almost snagged one. Only problem with losing more and more marketshare is developers will skip xbox more than they already do. That sucks as a consumer invested into the ecosystem but I guess it remains to be seen. Gamepass's main driver is the console so it's really in their best interest to keep the platform alive, plus they make a good amount on 3rd party sales, mtx, etc. Hopefully they give people a reason to buy the next xbox
