@LiteFireFurry_@PlayStation Roblox apparently was on PS4 since 2023 but had no native PS5 version. There’s no native Xbox Series XS version yet either, just Xbox One
@ZephyrionVortex@tomwarren The closed garden and proprietary hardware strategy seems to work just fine for both PlayStation and Nintendo. Individually they sell 10-20 times more consoles than Xbox. Xbox is the one with the wrong approach and the new CEO realizes it. She killed the “this is an Xbox” ads
@OKgamer01@passerofboof@shinobi602 Valve may not call the Steam Machine a console but it does compete for the same space in your living room entertainment center so it’s a competitor
@rich8606@shinobi602 Because it’s not a closed system so there’s no guarantee people will buy Steam Machine and buy software from the Steam store. It’s a PC that can be used for any PC task so they can’t rely on people buying games to offset losses
@RGamerB_ Maybe I’m old school but I never bought a handheld expecting to play my console games. They were always separate with their own ecosystems. The fact you can even play some of your console games via Xbox Play Anywhere is good enough for me. PSP didn’t play PS3 and that was fine
@Puertorock77_ Nah, Satya Nadella wins asshole of the Gen after the way he’s killed Xbox, laid off 10s of thousands of workers, and killed many studios
@TheRajGiri So are they drawing more under 18s? That’s the question. Either way it’s a win that they’re expanding their audience to younger folks because they have the potential to become future 18-49 fans
@JamiesAct That’s correct. You’d have to buy it again on PC because ROG Xbox Ally runs Windows. Not every game will be available via Xbox Play Anywhere because it’s publisher choice. Gamers’ choice is to not buy games that aren’t Play Anywhere
@vgfytschool@JezCorden Xbox One sold over 50 million in a 5 year period which was around the same or close to the Xbox 360 during its first 5 years from what I remember whereas Xbox Series is tracking far behind both. Their sales definitely were hurt far worse this gen
@vgfytschool@JezCorden Poor software sales was what drove Xbox to become multiplat but their multiplat strategy ultimately hurt their console sales. It was a huge mistake advertising that an Xbox console wasn’t necessary to play Xbox
@DoeEyedAutumn We’re just gonna have to wait and see because it does seem to be only live service games as of now. Helldivers 2 is the first PlayStation published game on Xbox because they know live service games will sell there. We might also see Spider-Man but that might be a Marvel deal
