The FTC vs. Microsoft case is starting this morning and Microsoft is keen to show Xbox is in third place. “Xbox has lost the console wars, and its rivals are positioned to continue to dominate” argues Microsoft in a filing today. It also reveals Xbox had 16 percent share of console sales in 2021 and 21 percent of console install base.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.

I thought this was hyperbole but there it is in Microsoft’s filing. Microsoft says “Xbox has lost the console wars”. Damn. What will CtrlAltDel make of this?
Of course they have everyone knows that, there are other bigger and more profitable wars they care about.
Gotta give it to xbox there going all out in appearing weak in court lol! Every other court document they have shown these past few days is perfection.
It makes it very clear more now it keeps them in a position that makes them seem as a small fish in a big pond of sharks.
Bravo to the lawyers. I look forward to the activision merger anouncement.
Whelp they admitted this therefore it would be memeable.
Sega lost the console wars and gave up their platform and went 3rd party. MS is likely to go 3rd party as well, but keep their platform. They have the ability to support both and make $$ from both. XB/PC gamers buying their games direct or through steam (as well as users on gamepass) and also making $$ off other platforms from Sony and Nintendo.
