@GameOvRMan @DomsPlaying So do you believe it will sell less than the One? What's your insight here exactly?

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@GameOvRMan @DomsPlaying They likely decided it was better to ride it out for whatever reason. Cost, focus on acquisitions, chip availability meaning the install base could only get so high, etc

But again this discussion seem like pointing at the wii u and saying "see it failed so switch will"

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@GameOvRMan @DomsPlaying It takes time to pivot. Look at the wii u to switch or the ps3 recovery. These things will correct themselves in time

And personally just looking at their hardware and saying "it bad" is not analysis. It's observation at best. Analysis would look forward and see future trends

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@Tapirodonte @DomsPlaying I'm not saying any of them are a failure! You are the one bringing up that because it's old that means beating it isn't impressive. It seems like you've constructed an argument that can only be used to cast a negative light on Xbox sales but no other console

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@Tapirodonte @DomsPlaying Where did I call it a fumble? That was Dom not me.

And your other points are nonsense really. The PS2 is over 20 years old and the ps4 and ps5 aren't matching that you realize

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@Tapirodonte @DomsPlaying Was the 360 a success? Because you realize they are tracking ahead of that right?

Or are we saying outpacing the 360 is a big fumble now?

My shipment (not sell through) estimates for Xbox hardware

Last quarter: ~1.2M

Xbox 360 official (launch aligned): 20.3M
Xbox Series total: ~23.9M
Xbox One total (launch aligned): ~24.7M

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@DomsPlaying Because it's clear that they already identified this problem and have taken steps to correct it with their acquisitions

We know the teams will start releasing games in the coming years and that will drive hardware. How is that not evidence?

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@TheGameFlix_ @DomsPlaying I don't disagree really but considering their current state o don't think that hardware numbers are thay concerning. Matching the Xbox one while not really having much reason to buy an Xbox besides gamepass is pretty decent imo

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@DomsPlaying Now it's 100% on MS for this, but as many consumers point out it's better to let the games develop rather then try to rush them out to sell consoles.

I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox has a stronger life in the later part of the gen similar to the late PS3 days.

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@DomsPlaying But they haven't done anything to drive the adoption yet and really won't until Starfield releases and we start seeing the games pop up.

The PS5 on the other hand has already had Horizon, Spiderman, GOW, FF16, TLOU, etc

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@cfresh2180 @DomsPlaying What? Yes I did. Phil himself says he considers it a success and that the perception that the 360 days were the golden era are incorrect AND that xbox is profitable right now.

That's your definition of failure?

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@cfresh2180 @DomsPlaying Here you go

@cfresh2180 @DomsPlaying "I often get asked 'how are you doing?' .., Xbox 360 years as being the heyday of Xbox... But for you to understand, our business right now, from a revenue standpoint, is about twice the size it was during the Xbox 360 generation."

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@cfresh2180 @DomsPlaying Saying they lost the console generation is a fact. Eveyone knows that he's not saying it was a considered a failure.

The 360 "lost" to the wii. You could say the PS4 or 5 "lost" to the switch if you wanted too that doesn't mean its a failure

[Asimov @AzureStriker]

@cfresh2180 @DomsPlaying Considered a failure by who?

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

NEW: Wisconsin GOP Rep. @derrickvanorden cursed out a group of high-school aged pages Wed. night in the Capitol.

He called them lazy shits bc they were in the Rotunda taking pictures on the floor. He told them to get the fuck up.

It's the pages' last week

“This account is posting child porn but only some of us saw it so we’re reinstating this account”

WHAT

[Matt Binder @MattBinder]

Elon Musk just confirmed that a prominent right wing influencer on the platform was suspended for posting "child exploitation pictures"

also Musk confirmed that they just reinstated his account
