This is misusing financial terminology though, you're looking at revenue, money that came in from the Xbox Game Pass, while not being able to illustrate that that's not profit after expenses. It's not stated as profitable, only how much it's taken in from subscriptions & sales. Taxes, expenses & everything else isn't listed, so you'd just be inferring that it's profitable for them after all that just because the revenue looks decent. Yeah, basically itts like selling jars of honey and making 30 dollars from it but then not telling anyone that you spent 25 bucks to produce it in the first place. If you just say 30 dollars is how much you made, they just assume that's all profit without the rest of the figures in play. Mad-Dogg posted... The first most likely major reason is because no matter how much forum and social media posters deny it the average gamer actually enjoy those playstation exclusives like God of war, last of us, spider-man, horizon zero dawn etc. Yeah, some of these games get ported to the PC months/years later, but again net's posters forget that console gaming and PC gamers operate in their own separate ecosystems for the most part.....what goes on with PC ports is of no concern to the average console gamer. Final fantasy rebirth is due in like 2 more weeks and a wolverine game, made by the same company behind the very well-received marvel's spider-man games, was announced...these are the kind of games pulling more people towards a playstation. Basically people care about exclusives regardless of what people might think. Xbox mostly has the same games as a playstation but don't have the games that only Playstation come out with and the xbox's exclusives all tend to be pretty terrible. Halo Infinity isn't great and Starfield has mixed reviews and both come out on PC anyway. Mad-Dogg posted... Another reason is because of just how much console gamers bought a PS4 compared to a xbox one these same gamers wanted to carry over all their PS4 game purchases to the PS5. This mattered a lot at the start of the new console generation since it took a bit for even more native PS5 and series s/x versions of games to show up. Also, free PS5 upgrades to a lot of those PS4 games PS4 owners already owned. Free nioh 2 uograde?....hell yeah I'll take that. doesn't the xbox series do this too? Xbox even lets you play games as old as the original xbox. I would say this is a good reason why Playstation gamers stick to playstation but its definitely the exclusives(as you've mentioned) which might be pulling in new buyers. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
