@Isolte i think you underestimate how passionate gamers can be, especially its for a console they think it’s their life, it’s stupid and unhealthy but if it makes them feel better they do them

besides game pass is a part of the console experience if they stop making consoles, they’re going to be boycotted to bankruptcy, you may think people would be mature enough to understand and move on, but we know people would have gotten angrier for less, if the xbox faithful are angry now, if they quit making hardware, they might flatout storm microsoft

of course the xbox faithful are hoping for the best, but you have to understand that microsoft would get crucified by the media if they stop making hardware, especially since they have the money to support consoles, we shouldn’t act like we know what microsoft is going to do, yes console sales aren’t going well as xbox fans hope, and the console war mentality is console sales mean success but exclusivity isn’t working as well as it’s used to

@Coletrain also, i think they’re afraid of the pr nightmare that would occur, i mean if the media is criticizing them for their actions now, imagine what would happen if they actually announces that they’re quitting hardware, the fans would be livid and boycott them to bankruptcy. I have seen people get angry for less things

@carlos82 are you saying as a xbox fan, or as a sony pony?

@IOI I don’t know about the rest of the world but they restocked in the uk

@Banjo- see that i was trying to say, if they are quitting hardware, they wouldn’t have restocked

You know what you guys’s issue is, Mob Mentality, and if it goes go against the current mentality, people who their own take is considered the enemy, even you’re not aware of it

If you’re so angry about it, it’s fine, just don’t be downers to people who don’t mind console wars, there’s more to life than worrying about a plastic box, and i’m saying as a person who own all the consoles

@IronMan30 are you just going based off the narrative because you don’t want to do the research

I mean it’s silly to have full on mental breakdowns over consoles, doesn’t apply to everybody but it’s true

@IronMan30 doesn’t mean their situations are the same

@BacklogBrad um, i think you have a disconnect

besides there’s more to life than just console wars and brand loyalty

@blockfight it’s different from sega right now

@IOI that’s something i agree with, not everyone is willing to have a reasonable conversation about something, if you feel frustrated too, tell it to microsoft and move one with our lives, if you keep talking about it everyday afterwards, then you probably have a problem

@oopsiezz there are facts that prove the opposite is true, just saying, you don’t want to look them up, because you don’t accept that you could be wrong

@Isolte if you grew up in the console wars, it feels weird

@AndroidBango i agree it’s reactions like these i think it’s too much

@oopsiezz you probably took it from the first set of numbers you saw

@LostInBlue0 right, all the complaining from fans all around the world is not going to get them to change their minds, besides they don’t seem to feel that consoles wouldn’t be threatened too much

@Browntrouser also we don’t know what could happen in the future, if you so fixed on the idea that console sales are the only measure of success, go over to playstation

@Millionski Right @Elbow, tell us how many third party games skipped Xbox, besides Wukong and Games Sony or Nintendo got deals for,

@Browntrouser don’t act like you know the future

@Elbow People disapproved that article a long time ago

@Isolte i agree, we should just play games on our preferred platform, and it’s clear that xbox is still doing hardware, so unless they say otherwise, we shouldn’t get worked up everytime

honestly, Phil said we will be seeing more of this, if you don’t like you can go to a another platform if you want to

@Bronnoe I think not many people care about identity nowadays

@Kaloudz right, pretty much people who knows what gamepass is, it’s not killing xbox in anyway

@oopsiezz but there’s people who save money on a purchase

@Elbow um, you’re acting like sony hasn’t gone third party in some capacity so, stop acting like a downer

@Cakefish on what statictics are you basing these opinions on?

We shouldn’t have to act like Negative Nancys, everytime we see something we don’t like.

and don’t call me a shill or white knight, i understand you want xbox to improve hardware sales, but there’s other ways to help that instead acting like xbox is dead everytime you see hardware sales decline

believe me, i understand that you guys want hardware sales to improve, but all this negativity is encouraging the xbox is dead narrative

@IOI it’s gets grating after a while

@Cakefish, You didn’t see that Square Enix is not doing playstation exclusivity for Future Major Games?

and please don’t blame this on DEI, i’m not saying you guys are, i saw comments on other sites blaming DEI for hardware decline.

@IOI well, i’m saying it’s fine to criticize, but i perfer not to be a negative nancy and ruin other people’s perpection of xbox

@IronMan30 again, i’m not saying you’re wrong for believing that, but not everyone cares about console wars nowadays

@IronMan30, i’m saying as i own both, i’m criticizing the people who made it there entire lives, and data suggests doesn’t mean it’s accurate,

I’m basically expecting people to turn this into a negative

@Casco not to say every future game will be multiplatform

People shouldn’t be taking this too seriously

@IOI also, at least you admit it, rather than denying it like other people would do

@IronMan30 Someone who isn’t still stuck in the early 2000s?
