It's been reported that he told everyone at Microsoft Gaming that they are not getting out of the console business. And most people analyzing this don't feel like they will either, at least not for some time.

Very bad imo if true. Honestly I waited on buying it with the belief that modders would fix it down the road. Surely I’m not the only person to do that.

About 7K now, Fallout 4 has 15K.


I think it runs a bit deeper than that, though. Starfield currently has a 24h peak on Steam of about 9k. BG3 has a peak of 135k. RDR2 49k. Elden Ring 48k. Witcher 3 19k. Forza 5 16k.

But the real reason I started this post: Hogwarts Legacy at 18k for a 24h peak.

Hogwarts Legacy, a game with staggeringly little replay value, that was released over a year ago, that has had zero substantive content added, much less DLC, and was widely taken to task over being a shallow, or even mediocre, experience... has twice as many people still playing it on a daily basis on Steam.

That's brutal.

There are romantic options for every companion in the game, whether your character is male or female. Not the first game to do it. He's having a snowflake response.

They have to be going all in on the "all device" template.

Saw some YT video, that the Surface team is taking over on next device.

Been listening to Kinda Funny discuss this a lot, their theory is MS simply had to shift away from the "try to be the top console on the market" strategy because it simply isn't going to happen. Going multiplatform with their games simply makes more financial sense. But they were clear, MS Games is not hurting in any way, shape, or form. They aren't going out of business. Simply a strategy shift.

There is a difference in hurting and then having Microsoft’s bank account to bail you out.

They are hurting and hurt the ability to move consoles. Daddy’s just tired of supporting his sons failing business and they need to rethink strategy.

Are you trolling? I haven't seen any reporting indicating that Xbox has had to be "bailed out" by Microsoft. In fact, Xbox regularly turns a profit.

First off… I would never.

I’m saying MS studios doesn’t have to worry about making money when you have the pocketbooks Microsoft does.

By contrast, Sony announced yesterday that they don't have any first party single player games coming out this year, meaning only one first party release in 2023 and 2024, and are planning to move to releasing first party "multiplatform." LINK

How did gaming media get this so absolutely and completely wrong?

Now that everything the Sony fanbois said about Xbox in this thread is actually true about PlayStation instead, how does that change everyone's opinion?

Will this thread make it to another page?

I'm expecting Sea of Thieves and Grounded to be two of them. Not sure on the other 2 but rumors are Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment.
