PS5 outsold Xbox 18:1 last month in Europe

Things are looking really dire for Xbox right now. How'd this happen and is it too late to turn it around?
I wouldn't have minded buying MW3 if they didn't so shamelessly phone the entire game in, because I genuinely enjoyed MW2. But they need to try a lot harder than that if they need my money. There are lots of other games to play.
I suppose it's kids getting a new console for Christmas, and choosing PS5 so they can finally play the new Spider-Man game.
Westernsissies can't compete against Commiefornia and its Japanese dog
I don't get it Xbox and PS don't have any games. Why don't gamers just get a PC?
Because most people don't want to wait for PC ports for certain games and PC doesn't have enough recent and interesting exclusives for that tradeoff to be worthwhile.
Hey! I love diamond doge.
>why don't people that play games spend thousands on a shitposting machine?
Because I like playing games, and because Japan still makes games primarily around Nintendo and Sony hardware. The day they don't is the day I build a PC. Also, when there are no more timed exclusives or just games PCgays don't get in general, like Vanillaware games.
That's what gets me, both of these companies are based in cali with politics to match.
Nooooooooooooooooooo, Phil Spencer will buy another studio and GamePass is profitable, it made 7 dollars of profit and HARDWARE DOESNT NEED TO BE PROFITABLE XBOXOBOXBOX BXO A
Starfield was the one and only hope for that console but Bethesda shit the bed. Also Microsoft pulled a moronic move by increasing the prices when they were already selling bad.
sony has the marketing for gta6 and is going to bundle the PS5 pro with gta 6
its over for xbox, the only way they can win is buying even more publishers
>its over for xbox, the only way they can win is buying even more publishers
So then can become the next embracer? And look how that turned out.
>All the big players collapse
>Forced to auction off all their ips to the highest bidder
>Suddenly lots of smaller dev studios start snapping shit up, gaming market becomes less centralized again
I know in reality it would all get gobbled up by israelitenstiene inc. or whatever, but imagine
Will be funny when they buy another publisher. Someone that Ganker loves like Square Enix or Sega. And then easily sail it through regulators again because of stats like this and Sony's legal team being grade-A moronic
there is another big boy in the market now, disney which is reportedly looking to buy EA
Disney doesn’t have the money after buying Hulu and with all their films flopping. Not to mention the legal issues in Florida over the Reedy Creek District
if Disney shareholder like this idea, they can buy EA with stocks.
disney can't afford shit after 2023
> Will be funny when they buy another publisher. Someone that Ganker loves like Square Enix or Sega. And then easily sail it through regulators again because of stats like this and Sony's legal team being grade-A moronic
Trust me, they are not buying anything for the next 5 years. It's not clear when they will be off the hook from FTC after ABK, because FTC is still trying to revert the changes, buying anything else right now would only give more power to the FTC. In the interesting kind of way, this can go on forever, to keep MS from buying anyone.
>Trust me
why should i?
>It's not clear when they will be off the hook from FTC after ABK, because FTC is still trying to revert the changes
Their appeal didn't go well because the only argument the FTC had was "The PI being denied is unfair because the FTC should have the ability to tell a judge to grant a PI without question" and the two Trump appointed judges weren't particularly thrilled with the FTC's argument. There might be a slight dissent from the Biden appointed Judge but the FTC didn't make a good case when the bar to clear is way higher than the first preliminary injunction. And even in the unlikely scenario if they got it, the merger has gone through. Best they could do is come to a settlement with MS surrounding cloud (Because Sony eventually signed a contract for 10 years of COD on Playstation) and even then, likely just the same agreement the CMA got where MS gives the US cloud rights to Ubisoft.
I never said MS would buy anything now. But give it a year or two when the FTC blows over (Or more likely when Kahn is fired when the Trump admin gets in if Biden doesn't can her first) and they will strike again. Especially since the EU, UK and Brazil have effectively told Sony to go pound sand already.
Why the frick would someone buy an XBox?
At this point it's a cheapish GamePass device.
Better games than Gaystation except Black person theft turbo
I will remind them again. Xbox has always been 3rd place.
I noticed an odd thing recently, I see a lot more people saying "Oh, I wish game X would come out on GamePass", or "If X isn't on GamePass then I am not playing it and I am not buying it either", it seems like people genuinely care more about GamePass than Xbox at this point, and Phil Spencer himself said that if GamePass won't generate enough numbers to sustain itself and be even more profitable by 2027 then they can exit the gaming business altogether, Xbox as a console is not a thing anymore, but they can't let it die literally, so they let it die metaphorically, while prioritizing GamePass.
It's normal behavior, it's a paid subscription service, those who subscribe hope it comes out sooner or later in the pass. It's like when some people like a game but wait for Steam sales. It also happened with the Plus years ago before it lowered in quality.
>Phil Spencer himself said that if GamePass won't generate enough numbers to sustain itself and be even more profitable by 2027 then they can exit the gaming business altogeth
No he didn't. He said within a worst case scenario if numbers stayed flat from 2020 on then they would exit by 2027 which meant they had to consider new strategies. On top of that, that email came from months before they had bought Bethesda, never mind Activision so they were talking from the position of the then current XGS studio set up. That all changed when they got Bethesda. Now it's all changed again now that they have Activision.
Hell today the guy that leaked the PS5 Pro said that MS were instead looking at a next gen SKU for 2026/27 instead of doing a Series X revision. They aren't exiting the business.
>They aren't exiting the business.
Do you remember when Stadia kept denying until the very end that they aren't going out of business? I remember.
Stadia the writing was on the wall because of massive staff departures and reports of projects being cancelled including the Kojima collaboration. Even Sega had a ton of departures and cancelled projects because they were flat broke and couldn't afford to produce the console any more.
Microsoft, there's none of that. They just spent $80 billion dollars on content and development studios. If anything its the opposite and they are investing in a longer run
I truly believe the Xbox would sell way more consoles if it didn't have such a moronic naming convention. Nobody knows what the frick an Xbox series X is versus and Xbox One X or an Xbox One Series S or whatever the frick. If I'm a some normie soccer mom and I want the latest console for my kid I'm just going to buy the PS5 because it's the latest one. I have no clue which Xbox is new and I fricking own an Xbox myself
Snoys use their PS5s here in Europe as COD and FIFA machines almost exclusively, so whatever, they are going to be giving their money to Microsoft anyways
Europe has some of the absolute worst tastes in games, so this isn't high praise. 90% of what gets played is just cod and fifa over and over. Is it any wonder that the place with the worst tastes in games is drawn to the company with the worst consoles?
>Playstation was an established name, probably the biggest name in console gaming by the time the original Xbox launched.
>Xbox was a glorified Halo machine, Halo has been a meme for years now.
>Xbox gets outsold by Playstation 8 to 1.
Yeah it’s a real fricking mystery why almost nobody buys Xbox.
>t. Former Halo Pro and PC Gamer
Xbox consoles aren't available in most of Europe because MS has literally just given up on those countries for some reason
Even in the countries that Xbox consoles are sold in, the level of support varies wildly. For example physical games might not be widely available compared to Nintendo and PlayStation games.
Xbox also spends nearly nothing on marketing. PlayStation and Nintendo both put out shit like bus stop ads, TV ads etc and their products are proudly displayed on store shelves, their products are hot items during sales etc.
>PS5 largely unavailable in 2022
Wrong. I got mine day 1
in europe? PS5's stock was frontloaded in burgerland
>twitter screencaps
>no sources or links

>Sony wiener sucker "journalist" that's been caught lying about numbers in the past.
While PS5 is definitely outselling Xbox you still need to KYS for this moronic source.
The bigger news by far to me is that Xbox sold 54k. Who the frick is buying these?
There are poorgays having a lot of time for gaming while a little money.
Microsoft does absolutely ZERO marketing in Europe, not surprised.
2024 will be our year, Xbros! We got Hellblade 2 after all!! The big guns are coming!
Cool, a half-assed God of War clone, amazing.
>Xbox will die in your lifetime
PARTY ROCK IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT
Guess the only people here who buy Xbox are geeks who want to own all the systems
Xbox is dead since the 2012 reveal and never recovered
>own a Nintendo
>play Nintendo games
>own a Sony
>play Sony games
>own an Xbox
>play PC games
Phil or whoever it was that decided Xbox and PC must have same day release parity were out of their damn minds, and not only did they remove the reason for owning an Xbox console they devalued all their games by offering them for free on Gamepass, I could accept this move as a loss leading initiative to gain ground against Nintendo and Sony but holy frick has it backfired tremendously. I can only imagine their horror when they expected Starfield to shift consoles LMAO
Who is that guy
PS always outsells everything in Europe. It's not even news. It's the same as saying PS outsells in Japan.
>Things are looking really dire for Xbox right now.
>Xbox market saturation grows quarter over quarter for the last 3 years.
>So does Nintendo
>So does mobile
>Sony's falls.
>omg xbox is dyiiiiing
yawn.
Nothing you typed is true moron, the gap is widening
the only thing xbox is saturating is the ground as it slowly decomposes its cold lifeless body into the dirt
Seeing a lot of UK and European numbers here. Not that it matters, but how is it in the US?
Xbox still looks pathetic but I guess MS will deeply cut XSX/XSS price to defend US market.
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console in the US in November 2023 in terms of units sold and dollar sales, according to figures from Circana (formerly The NPD Group). Circana includes the dates for the four week period of October 29 to November 25.
2023 year-to-date the PlayStation 5 is the best-selling console in terms of both units sold and dollar sales.
The Nintendo Switch comes in second place in both units sold and dollar sales, while the Xbox Series X|S comes in third place.
"U.S. consumer spending on video game content, hardware and accessories fell 7% when compared to a year ago, to $5.9 billion," said Circana Executive Director and Video Game Industry Analyst Mat Piscatella. "The decline was driven by a 24% drop in hardware spending and a 3% dip in content."
Piscatella added, "November video game content spending dropped 3% when compared to a year ago, to $4.6 billion. An 11% decline in Console & Portable Content spending was partially offset by 3% growth across each of the Mobile, Subscription, and 'PC, Cloud & Non-Console VR' Content segments.”
