Unlike the PS5 and Switch, leaving your Xbox Series X on standby mode, rather than switching it off, is more costly than you may think.

Review - FRONT MISSION 2: Remake is a game worth checking out if you like the genre. For rarity alone, it has to be worth a try.
Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.
Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.
There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life
No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.
I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’
Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.
No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
Ten times more. Only 13 times if you have a launch console which is automatically NOT out in energy saver mode.
The power usage equates to £60 English pounds per year. Which is the price of a game here.
Oof. Good to know bearing in mind the energy mess we're in right now. They reckon it will get worse before it gets better.
Great information thanks for this
it's funny switch only uses 40p...
Xbox: £59
PS5: £4
switch: 40p
all the figures are per year not month.
Considering the PS5 crashes most of the Time when in sleep mode, I'm not surprised 🤣
