Xbox is part of MS yes as is Activision now but if someone wants to pretend it makes sense to spend nearly $70 billion just to make your quarterly reports look better that's up to them. There is a bigger picture goal obviously but his tweet was as stupid as he is.
Not surprising, the first game is highly overrated IMO and I didn't even want to finish the demo for AW2.
Yes. It makes sense to purchase a company with an IP that prints money every year.
Still not sure why you think Activision input should be ignored from the financial results.
Other than it helps paint a super negative on the Xbox brand.
In the same article , Sega and Koei Tecmo also reporting big losses and they all released on multiple platforms...
Digital only is meh. Lots of physical collectors out there that would have liked the option.
And the usual suspects always pretend “not” releasing your biggest games on XB is somehow a good move.

Maybe it’s name recognition, since more people are familiar with the word/term that is ronin
You keep saying this in regards to Japanese 3rd party PS exclusives but when was over 50M small?
It was smaller compared to Nioh launch where the PS4 had 60-70 million userbase
No it just shows that xbox itself isn't healthy, hardware sales down 31% and all other metrics would have been down or at nearly zero growth plus they are expecting hardware sales to drop even more. The hardware sales do matter, I know some people want to pretend they don't but without the hardware there is no xbox there is just a giant and very expensive to maintain gaming division that needs to release more titles on other hardware.
Where did you get that conclusion ? Are you saying that there's only 25 million MAU's for the PS5?
Who said 25m? But you are acting like them only selling 50m+ is a reason certain games aren't selling/meeting expectations.
Maybe they just aren't as popular as you want to make out? Or maybe making those games exclusive to PS wasn't the best choice.
But yes, I doubt all those units sold are active.
Oh you said half that so I assumed 25.
Well many people act as if selling only on the one platform was not good enough but reality shows different because otherwise they wouldn't be making these exclusivity deals in the first place if the numbers didn't make sense.
Great sales all around for rebirth, dogma and ronin.
