Harding-Rolls notes that while sales of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X were held back due to ongoing stock shortages, Xbox managed to slightly increase its share of unit sales over the past year due to the more widely available Xbox Series S.
Excellent combat and clever enemy design make up for Stellar Blade’s otherwise bland story and questionable aesthetic choices.

Introducing the fire sale of Xbox Game Studios, and oh, this controller, too!
Ok...that makes sense......Microsoft closes Game Studios because the games those Studios made don't meet Microsoft's sale metrics. Why pay more good money to feed the leaches when they provide no benefit and controllers sell so lets make more. Also the PR messaging "Feel the Burn" was a msg. to all the other Microsoft First Party Studios that if the games you make don't sell you'll "Feel Tue Burn"! Same goes for Xbox gamers they didn't buy the Microsoft games so now they " Feel the Burn" of those games going to PlayStation! so now we know the meaning of "Feel the Burn".....it means somebody bout to loose something!
I clicked the link and I saw these things are $70, the same price as a PS5 controller but with none of the features.
This is just like the memory cards where the price is way out of line with what the product actually is.
Microsoft might as well imo become a 3rd party publisher because they are soooo tone deaf.
"It's fire... isn't that what the kids say these days? Fire? Let's show them we understand them! Fire!"
They know their consumers have not bought games from them, so they need to find another way to get consumer’s money.
Im not joking. I think had there been more games released or upcoming, they would allow the sales to go to the studios.
PS5 is a beast and now with no stock shortages, PS5 sales are going to skyrocket 🚀.
Very shameful how Microsoft has used the "we are the underdog with poor sales" narrative to justify them buying Activision. They didn't make the work, the sacrifices, the dedication, the games ... And now they want to "pay to win".
“…the multi-tiered service strategy of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo meant that average spending per subscription grew 7% across the year (in $ terms) as consumers traded up to more expensive tiers.”
Interesting. More ppl opting for the Extra/Premium and Ultimate options? Perhaps some of those $1 deals are starting to expire and peeps are sticking around for the auto-renew?
“..Microsoft extended its market share lead in the console subscription segment and delivered an all-time high for Xbox Game Pass subscribers in the final three months of the year.”
It’s a good gifting idea. I don’t think you can gift to another country yet (eg. Canada to USA) but something popped those numbers.
Microsoft were so boastful about their numbers during Xbox 360
Now we have to rely on analysts to give numbers
That’s two consoles. And no there’s no difference specs wise between the ps5 digital and disc sku. Even with the cheaper Series S Microsoft still can’t oust Sony. That not a monopoly, that’s consumer preference.
Is there any sense of the split between S and X?
