There is no console war. Xbox is focusing on Game Pass (which streams in the cloud and can be played on any screen with cloud streaming, no console required and makes ridiculous monthly money). Nintendo has merged their mobile and console business, so they're playing a different game than the other two (and have outsold the PS5 as a result). PlayStation is winning because they're still using a strategy the other two aren't anymore.

​@@cejasygk509So what he's talking about is on PlayStation, you buy their consoles for their single player games such as Spiderman, God of War, or horizon ATM. Sony announced there wouldn't be any first party major releases till 2025 at least. What this means is you pay more for a console that doesn't have what you buy it for. Whereas you can go to Nintendo and constant games coming out. Or Xbox where they're focusing on the game pass and or their cooperative experiences with cross play on just about every multiplayer games. Sony is definitely in a state more people are selling the system then buying ATM

Ngl, I still play xbox bc it feels a bit wrong in my head to abandon a platform that I invested in since the Xbox 360 days

[@tarheelpro87]

I won’t solely because of how much I invested. There’s so many games i’ve bought on Xbox, so many consoles i bought, I’m too deep into the Xbox ecosystem to abandon it now. The only reasons Xbox’s financial issues scare isn’t out of competitiveness, but because I just hope Microsoft doesn't pull the plug on it. I feel like they won’t, but my confidence in that statement isn’t the strongest. If I knew for a fact that Xbox will continue to make their consoles even after selling poorly and porting over games, I could care less. But to lose the thousands of dollars worth of games I have? That’s a price too high for me to pay.

[@rayosborne8617]

I Been a xbox player since the original Xbox, but I finally decided to sell my xbox for a ps5

[@LanternEnergy]

Xbox shot themselves in the 🦶 with Xbox One. They completely irked and pissed off Millennials to the 9th degree. The very generation that made them. Focused way too much on media interaction than focusing on continuing the o make good games. Spencer said in one interview that XBOX lost the console war when they lost the millennial generation players after they did a misstep with Xbox One, which was true. It’s hard to get us back because we are older now with kids and have different desires and priorities. We wanted to introduce our kids to Xbox but the games weren’t hitting the same as when we millennials were teenagers ourselves. The industry went very woke and Xbox gave up a lot of exclusives and stopped being hands on with the gaming studios as they were prior. When Spencer said exclusives actually cause you to lose money or is a less profitable venture, I don’t deny that but it maintains customer retention and a feeling or desire to be loyal to your platform. God of War had been an exclusive for years and had done just fine as a AAA! When Black OPS and Gears of War and Splinter Cell were exclusives people loved it, they had the better online experience. Once Phil said exclusives won’t make a PS5 player put down their PS5, I said true but it will make them feel it’s necessary to pick up an Xbox as well!

XBOX did have HALO and most people rather they wish to admit it or not prefer the Xbox controller. So much so that Sony decided to mimic the design with the dual sense.

The Numbers: Nintendo Switch: 61.4 million units PS5: 55.9 million units Xbox series X|S 28.3 million units Revenue and profit wise… things get a little messy From what I've researched, Nintendo and Sony both count different percentages of 3rd party sales for their console sales revenue numbers. They also each calculate revenues and profits differently. It’s difficult to do a one-to-one comparison on the two companies. Sony beats Nintendo in revenue, but Nintendo beats Sony in profit. They have different business models, and I’m sure that this new move by Sony is sure to change the numbers. (But in which direction?

I don't know why people keep bringing up the Nintendo Switch sales numbers like it means anything compared to the PS5 and the Xbox series, when the Nintendo Switch came out in 2016, it's not part of this console race. Of course the Nintendo Switch sold more units, it came out in fucking 2016, that is an insane head start compared to any console that came out in late 2019 - early 2020.

[@Popirnot]

@benjamin1089 care to elaborate ?

[@benjamin1089]

@@Popirnot PC has an higher initial cost (from scratch pc assuming no reused parts and on parity with PS/Xbox). But past that it's much cheaper. Cheaper games, no payment for online play, not having to buy a whole new system for an improvment in performance. The basic online plan alone will most likely put the cost of a console the same as an at parity PC. (Edit: spelling)

I agree with one of the comments. Give us a story driven game. That we can invest hours into. Something with a character grow. I remember back on ps1 playing game that I invest months playing developing my character and teams. Something that side quest helped with character development. Multiplayer games are all good and all, but give me a game with a great story heck even one that I could play with my friends ( which second part isn’t a must tho).

Well, Microsoft tried to sell us Television through our Xbox consoles and that crippled them for a whole console generation and so now Sony PlayStation plan to redress that balance by going full r3t4rd themselves and trying to sell us time wasting live service slop when all we ever want from them are good games to play? Why is it so hard for these brainiacs to comprehend? Gamers don’t want to watch television or kill time on your platform they want to have some high quality gaming fun time when it suits THEM.

The only reason I think why Playstation is beating xbox is because of the closing of some of their more recent studios including the one that made hifi rush while Playstation doesn't do that shit they keep the studios that make them money but for xbox they fire and get rid of the studios like trash and the money they make for xbox doesn't matter

Yeah, Helldivers 2 is doing really well lately ;ddd I have a weird feeling that the "high ups" have no clue what it means to actually run a "live service" game. And I know they don't have a clue because 95% of ALL "live service" games either die within 1-2 years or are on life support for most of their run. There are very few "live service" games that actually made it and it's REALLY hard to make this kind of games.

The entire end goal of what companies like this want is subscription based services. That’s why they’re getting you used to cloud based gaming and paying a monthly fee for PSN. They’re going to phase out physical media all together. You won’t be able to buy games, movies, books, etc. It’ll all be done through some sort of monthly fee based service and only available digitally.

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Is that why they're dropping the disc slot?

Technically while it has specs closer to last gen consoles, I'm pretty sure it does still count as current gen. Nintendo is dominating with the Switch having 143 million units sold according to Google, Sony is at a distant second with PS5 having 61 million units sold, again going by Google.
