    MS operates on a different level. 

     

    They have just purchased Bethesda for 7.5 Billion under a different head than xbox. Which means xbox is under no pressure to bring back the investment.

     

    Would you call division in loss if it did not recoup investment made in studios? 

     

    Even if they made all figures public, most people would be scratching their heads if its profitable or not.

    Lol that's true . 

    They only reveal revenues and not profit from gaming division

    Atleast he is sending the right message now, just not him many said covid is over in feb also. 

    Yes he is sending the right message now .. His case is different from others though . He said that in March when cases were on rise and Upto 20k a day .

    In Feb this guy was busy promoting Coronil .

    How much do you think they invested in R&D & manufacturing of Kinnect 

     

    Much more than they have spent on studios this time 

    so please……

    Dude they launched Kinect in 2010 Do you have the financial reports of MS from 2006-2009. to show their R&D spend on it . 

    You are claiming MS spent over 10$ Bil on R&D on Kinect back in 06 to 09 - what on earth are you even smoking .. ( they spent 7.5 bil on Bethesda so much more should mean 10 bil easily ) 

     

    You use numbers like they mean nothing .. with no accountability or facts given . 

    You couldn't talk about games or studios so you brought kinect In conversation .

    And now you are questioning decisions made by businessman who have taken MS close to 2 Trillion dollar market cap . 

    Yeah right . 

    On what basis are you calling them.risky ? Have you done the financial analysis - like how much MS paid per share or price to earnings ratio . 

    If you have the numbers please share and prove how risky they are and I will.agree . 

     

     

  4. Also the only real investment MS during last gen was to acquire Minecraft and it's developer. 

    And they have allowed the studio continue to build and support the game till date . 

    By 2020 Minecraft has achieved cumulative sales of 200 mil and revenue of 3 Billion(when MS acquired it in 2014 it had sales of 50 mil and revenue around 900 mil )

    Even today game shows no sign of slowing down and has over 100 mil active users

    not spend daddy’s unlimited money only to turn up generations later with billions in more risk investments 

    Again , Please don't make up things

    MS didn't spend on anything towards end of X360 era / start of xbox one . 

    Their focus was making xbox a complete entertainment system which backfired while Sony invested in quality studios and making great games .

    Yes after a decade they have invested billions in studios . But you don't have the financial or the business acumen to call them risky investments . 

    Leave that to the ones investing billions who actually have to answer to stakeholders about their decisions unlike you who can say anything he wants without having any facts to back up the claim

    Few ppl crapped all over Destiny & then went ahead to play the crap out of it 

     

    Trigger even went ahead & said what’s the big deal in Insomiac’s Spider-Man when there are a dozen other Spider-Man games out already 

     

     

    Just go ahead & read Aftrunner’s initial reactions on GoW reboot reveal 

     

    See these are the type of comments that make you feel sad why someone would crap on genuine art & craft just for the love of some brand 

     

    One of my “imaginary strawmens” called Spider-man mediocre even yesterday 

     

    & He is all praise for Bathesda games since the acquisition,even the genuinely acclaimed mediocre ones 

    I wasn't comparing anyone to you just pointing out your biased opinions towards PS . I only joined ivg 3 years ago so can't say anything about what I haven't seen or read . 

    Anyway being biased towards a console/company is no better than being biased towards a gaming studio.  

    Doesn't make you or anyone else better.

    1) Head over to the series x/s thread. There is a poll there. Do check it out. 

     

     

    2) gamepass machine aka series s is rotting away on  shelves globally. You can actually walk into to any grey market store rn near your vicinity, and get a series s. It's clear that MS is not marketing xbox as a console but a service. That is where I feel is a problem. 

     

     

    Right now it is exclusive next gen games  by sony vs a rental service by xbox. 

     

     

    We'll talk about exclusive vs exclusive once halo/forza drops this fall. 

     

    Poll for will you buy xbox series x/s or not ?

    Yes i have seen it .

    Yes PS5 will sell more than xbox series x/s combined.  It's common knowledge by now.

     

    Let microsoft worry about their business strategy . 

     

    Yeah so cool enjoy both the service as a gamer or stick to PS . No one's forcing you . If someone can afford to buy both consoles and wants to enjoy best of both offerings it's their choice . You don't it's your choice .

     

    Why wait for release - PS exclusives are miles ahead of MS current and potential exclusives.  Again common knowledge .

    Your point being ?

    What good has M$ done in last 10 years other than give away games to remain afloat in gaming space?!?

     

    How have the increased the bar in gaming in anyway?!? so that I can give them “credit” for that?!

    A lot of people before me have tried explaining it to you so I m not gonna waste my / your time on it .

    Also anything I or they say is just our opinion and not a fact .Anything you or radical or that "Hope" guy say is an opinion not a fact .

     

    Only thing I can say for a fact is Xbox one was hated here on IVG .And now a lot of people have bought Xbox series S/X here . And all of these will buy or have already bought PS5 . MS must have done something right to get all these people to buy their consoles ( Gamepass and acquisitions of studios to make high quality exclusives ) 

    Globally too Xbox series S/X have been selling well ( yes not as much as PS) but the numbers are good .

    Numbers speak for themselves . Opinions don't .

    Add lite to that number as well. Switch means switch+ switch lite. 

     

    Pretty sure by now you know that number was for all variations of switch .. also the number for PS4 includes sales of original PS4/Slim/Pro , same for xbox one .

    And your point about Switch selling more than 4 generations of Xbox's combined was clearly made up so stop defending it .

    Coz I have known you for far too long 

    & your biased behaviour towards games & developers 

     

    It’s just uncanningly obvious,more so than anyone else I have ever known in gaming :lol: 

     

    But anyway enough OT 

     

     

    Says the guy who is overly biased towards PS and regularly discredits anything even remotely good done by MS .

    Yeah people buy whatever they want. I'm pretty sure Switch is close to that PS4 number despite not launching officially and games being 5K from the start. The value proposition only works if people actually want it :lol: 

    Switch in India is nowhere near close to PS4 . It definitely sold more than Xbox one in line with the global trend .

    I envy people who have time. At this point in life, money is more easy to come by?. Time is the bitch.

     

    Can't even begin to imagine life after marriage?

     

    This is where convenience of gamepass comes in for me. Browse-download-play. No frills.

    Me too ..just don't have the time . 

    Life after Marriage - you may still find sometime .  But when you have a kid that's when you would struggle to find time ?
