The Verge - Microsofts overall gaming revenues are only up thanks to Activision Blizzard

There is no butthurt because Xbox is going 3rd party. LOL. I'm ain't mad, just laughing at your Xbox idiotism. Xbox didn't go 3rd party since 2016. Using an already IP which were made for other platforms before they were purchased as Xbox 3rd party initiative is pure idiotism. Nothing more or less.

Oh sweet summer Xbot child. Mind you that MLB is a PUBLISHER for MLB The Show on Xbox, not Sony. As MLB's term was to going multiplatform. Mind you, Xboy, that Bungie's term was to stay independent before acquisition and continue to release games on multiple platforms, hence the annoucement of Marathon for Xbox. You forgot about that, Xbot, huh?

Looks who is talking about obsession with plastic boxes, an Xbot.

Sony CEO is literally telling what the future of PlayStation is: consoles, PC, mobile, and cloud..

Using a quote from Sony CEO from January 2024 when literally a just a month after you have a quote that GAAS games will be day one on PC, SP doesn't and how PS is a CORE product to Sony. GTFO with Xbox. Move away.

Sony on Steam.

@Pedro: Well that’s certainly awkward. 😅

"Apparently".....right

In your Xbox world ,yes. In reality is different. As it was said GAAS games will come day 1 on PC, SP games at later date.

I am trying to find that in this response from you or Sony?

Ignoring something something, core, something product to Sony, yes. But keep being bitter ,Xbot. With every 1st party release from now on, i will laugh at you how that currently released games ( outside GAAS ) didn't ended up day 1 on PC.

I am bitter because Sony is releasing their games on PC? I am not sure why. Are you sure you are not the bitter one?🤔

Loud is having an epic meltdown 😂 This is joyous 😂

Holy hell… How disingenuous can one person be? How are you equating a licensing deal requirement and two games that were multiplat BEFORE an acquisition to Xbox putting their own games on competitors platforms?

@kvallyx: He always seems to be like that. Don’t think I’ve ever seen him just post about gaming in general. It’s always “Xbot this” and “Xbot that”. Xbot also seems to be his favourite word. 😅

These goons are dedicated to the System Wars not playing games.😂

@Pedro: As sad as that may be it certainly wouldn’t surprise me.

"b bu but"..

Destiny 2 is still fully supported on Xbox.. Marathon will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.. MLB the Show releases every year on Xbox and is even Day One in Game Pass..

these are the facts.. 🤷‍♂️ sorry, not sorry, if the facts don't fit your narratives.. yet, you didn't have that same energy when Satya Nadella was clearly pointing to all the Xbox games that already exist on PlayStation like Call of Duty, Minecraft, Fallout 76, and others that are dominating the PlayStation Store.. all of sudden that means something different.. 🙄

what's disingenuous is cows acting like Day and Date is okay for live service games since that "makes sense".. but Xbox opening up Sea of Thieves to more players nearly 6 years after it's initial release somehow doesn't make sense..

per usual, fanboying causes you to be all over the place.. it'll be alot easier if you just calmed down with all the anti-Xbox nonsense, especially when they are actually being the most pro-consumer of the three with their software and services..

LMAO! You're really gonna try to pull this?!?! The two examples you gave above are the same thing. Games that were already on the other platform before an acquisition with exception to MLB The Show, but you know why that's multiplat. And it has nothing to do with PlayStation putting it on a competitors platform for financial gain. But that's ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than Xbox putting Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, Sea of Thieves etc on PlayStation or Nintendo.

Not facts. Just words you're saying with all the context and meaning removed. Nice try! You are literally removing all context behind why MLB The Show is on Xbox in order to spin a narrative...

1- I don't understand the point you're making or who is making this argument. Are you talking about day and date on PC? Who is saying Sea of Thieves opening up to more players 6 years after release doesn't make sense?

2 - And there it is. You're in here spinning your fan fiction so Xbox can get a "win." Is all this work and mental gymnastics you're doing in here really worth the "most consumer friendly" participation ribbon?

@ghostofgolden: again, "b bu but".. Marathon isn't out yet and is releasing on Xbox.. MLB releases every year and even into Game Pass.. most of the games we know coming from PlayStation are live service and Day and Date on PC.. facts.. 🤷‍♂️ these companies are thinking beyond a single platform more and more as times goes on..

as such, Sea of Thieves and Grounded are live service games that can benefit from more players.. HiFi-Rush and Pentiment were niche small-scale titles that can benefit from being opened up to a wider audience.. these aren't new concepts; particularly since Xbox has already been doing this for years..

*sigh* 🤦🏽‍♂️

1. see the above post.. any live service game can benefit from more players..

2. is there something wrong with supporting consumer friendly practices?..

Yes and their YoY financials haven't posted growth without an acquisition. Sony's PSN users dropped the past couple years... gee I wonder why.

Sony is making a decision that will crash their brand. As they migrate to PC so will their users and once they do all their purchases will be made on Steam. Way to destroy an eco system so they can sell an extra 300k copies of Horizon 🤣.

Not true at all actually. One only needs to go back to Q12024, where Xbox had a 9% year over year growth.

Did this multi trillion dollars company acquire Activision to damage control their gaming depatment? This is so weird.

They bought it for the same reason they bought Minecraft. To print money!

don't waste your time.. he only sees gaming through the lens of consoles wars.. even though the console wars are long over and these companies are moving on accordingly..

That report still has the Blizzard acquisition on it 🤣.

It is OK to be bitter, Xbox peeps. We surely having a hard time Xbox is going 3rd party. LOL

Xbox has been 3rd party since 2016.. Xbox putting their software on as many devices as possible has been their business strategy for over a generation now..

i think it's cows that are having a hard time with the fact that Sony is slowly but surely following in their footsteps..

Wonderful news. I really don't wanna play those Sony games on PS5. 30 fps on low or 60 fps on very low, yikes.

I've mentioned that you, Xbots, are bitter because Xbox is going 3rd party. Only you, Xbots are trying to spin "Sony too". LOL

Now I am bitter because Xbox is releasing their games on other platforms like they have for the past decade and Sony is following suit?🤔

LOL. XBox is releasing more games on other competitive platforms means Xbox console sales will collapse more. Isn't that great for Xbots? Best possible outcome. Also, keep dreaming that Sony fill follow Xbox steps. Xbots desperately trying to push narrative "Sony too" because Xbox is demolished. Keep dreamimg, Xbots. You are only good at that

Sony is releasing their games on PC and not releasing any games this year.🤷🏽‍♂️

Sony's shift in strategy is really hitting the poor lad hard.. 😥

So, showed as GAAS games day 1 on PC and SP games there at later date. Where is Xbox or Nintendo here, Xbot?

I can't think of a single PS5 game that runs at 30fps and low settings 🤣. You are just talking out of your ass. Most 30fps modes are equivalent to max settings with the exception of RT.

Nope. Actually :
