Funny thing is nobody said anything to the contrary.I’ve said that since the Atari 2600. Probably before you were born. So actually, I’m glad you are finally on board

It didn't. The discussion is about consoles. Your study was vague when it came to console ownership. Mobile and PC are irrelevant.
That isn't the big picture. That is the little picture. I'm a multi console owner. The vast majority aren't. My reason were friends and digital library despite PS5 having a better line up of games. Which goes against everything you are saying.
Here is the quote:I don't agree with Phil saying great games would not help them gain market share.
Here is the quote:
It’s just not true that if we go off and build great games, all of the sudden you’re going to see console shares shift in some dramatic way.
He NEVER says they wouldn't gain market share. He says it wouldn't help them gain market share in "some dramatic way". Lets say this generation ends with a 35/65 split of consoles. What is the best case scenario for next gen? 40/60? Do you think they will ever claw to 50/50? Again, he is referring to winning the console race, which clearly isn't their key metric for success.
No it is about consoles. End of.The discussion is also about PCs because for those who have one would be less likely to buy a Xbox console this gen.
It doesn't because you were already invested from couple generations ago. Obviously Phil is talking about new owners coming into the ecosystem and not old ones.
No it is about consoles. End of.

Nope.It isn't. Because Xbox made that decision to incorporate PC now.
Just so I'm clear, if Xbox starts pumping out quality exclusives on a quarterly basis in 2024, just hypothetically, how long until they catch up to Playstation in terms of console market share? In your estimation.All of a sudden? Not likely. Over time? Hell yes.
Best case scenario is establishing and getting all your first party studios in order now , start releasing steady stream of quality exclusives to entice people to invest in your platform.
Xbox made the decision themselves to not focus on the console race by making all their games on PC. It sounds like their key metric of success is just getting into the black and keep it there. They can't go by sales. User numbers only tell a part of the whole story because we don't know who just started the game to count as +1 or who actually beat the game .

That doesn't sound like anything contrary to what Phil said at all.They won't catch up because they've made PC a priority now so people don't have to buy a Xbox console to play their exclusives anymore. But they can increase the number of people investing into their platform through quality exclusives and you will see the growth in player numbers and Gamepass.

Here for, many of those games MS bought mid dev so they can't take credit... apart from Redfall for some unknown Re59ason.
This year they’re gonna release what, five first party titles, we don’t talk about one of them tho
