GP came late so many gamers will still have a large collection. If I checked my dash I've probably purchased or free downloaded over 300 games since the 360 days. And I'm not the sort to just never go back to a game once a new gen comes.What investment do people have in xbox if they go through game pass for all of their games? they can just give that up any time since they don't "own" any of it.
He's right that they'll never outsell PlayStation globally but that doesn't mean that a constant flow of great games won't increase xbox's market share. It's a false dichotomy, they can still be successful in the gaming space without outselling PlayStation or whatever Nintendo's next console is.
That whole line about people not selling their PS5's was just dumb, you don't have to sell a PS5 to get a Series X, not everyone can afford to buy both consoles at the same time but over time they may want to buy an xbox as well if you give them enough reason to.
It's the same with things like phones. IPhone sucks but even if it didn't I've been with Samsung for so long now I'm pretty much locked into it.
People need to remember the people that post on game forums are the loud but small minority. If we represented the larger % of gamers the switch would have died ages ago with only about 2m sold. Instead It's kicked everything's arse since day 1.
Phil never said Xbox can't be successful just they need to do like Nintendo and look at it differently (user numbers over multiple devices instead of consoles sold). Which is flawed now anyways. Yeah switch might have sold 100m but how many of those are actually being used? Bet its less than half.
A lot of gamers don't want more than 1 console so no the line wasn't dumb IMO. If I'm on PS and only want 1 console or can only really afford to game on 1 I'm not going to suddenly stop liking my PS exclusives and sell for an Xbox just for Starfield.
