MS is hands down only one prepared for next gen. They hold all the cards.
- 1st party studios (23 + still looking to buy) - Shitload of cash (10-13B profit a QUARTER) - Best infrastructure (Azure) - 3rd party support - 20 years worth of games - Best BC with automatic visual improvement for next gen HW - Hybrid gaming = console HW + xCloud + PC + Nintendo (when they get a sense of what is going to happen to industry)
Frankly, no one can't compete.
Google and AMZN have cash and infrastructure, but all the rest (the hard part), they didn't move an inch.
SONY and Nintendo have 1st party, 3rd party support (SONY) and decades worth of gaming, but neither has enough 1st party studios going forward, or anything remotely similar to MS BC and virtualization layer which guarantees all your games will work on next next box, or PC, or wherever you play your game.
Competition, you got DOOM'd by uncle Phil. What a mega chad.
Only Nintendo is safe because they are not fighting in same arena as others, therefore I assume they will make strategic partnership with MS and we are heading into future with MS covering consoles, cloud and PCs, while Nintendo keeps their niche + expands it on MS infrastructure.
>Shitload of cash (10-13B profit a QUARTER) what is the revenue per quarter? I have deep concerns on companies profiteering. If it turns out to be true they should deduct prices OR increase staff salaries.

Now Google and Amazon are next. They shouldn't have laughed at him. Google should have banned Craig memes, and Amazon should have rejected selling of PS5. As it stands, they are now next in line to be dealt with.
God forgives, Phil does not.
Andrew Murphy
They have a monopoly on every PC in the world with windows why is that surprising
Levi Reed
38B and 12B in profits last Q of the top of my head.
Daniel Richardson
I can't think of a bigger chad in the industry than Phil always keeps a cool head always a bro
>hybrid gaming >Not only PC will be held back by consoles but fucking MOBILE.
Kevin Perez
38B revenue with 12B of it net profit or gross profit?
Lincoln Peterson
What's it like being this dumb every day, what do you think about?
Josiah Bailey
Net.
Luke Bennett
Can he be stopped?
Blake Fisher
Sony? never heard of him
Ayden Hall
Is there anything better then royal flush?
Lincoln Foster
thats my concern. 31% profit seems very high. I dont know all the details though so whatever.
Carter Moore
Looks like it. Sony will get trampled under megacorps like M$ and Amazon now.
Josiah Morris
Ok... So, like last gen, how can xbox have a hand of winning cards only to go "I'm out" and toss it on the table.
They had good shit going IN to 2014 when it launched, but fucked up hard. Remember all the games they cancelled? All the games they fucked up?
Don't assume studios alone can salvage xbox, they need to PROVE that they can bring it first and also, lastly remember, shit like halo isn't out until 2021-22.
Adrian Brooks
Honestly as a PC gamer I would support them if they fucking ported some more damn games
Carson Morgan
Didn't they say they didn't see nintendo as competition anymore either? Are they not doing video games anymore? >Xbox says Nintendo and Sony no longer main rivals
Samuel Reed
Don't they say this shit every new release since the original XBOX
Easton Young
This fucker's been floundering for five years now, what makes you think that throwing more money at it is gonna change anything? Remember Rare?
Matthew Anderson
ALL HAIL PHIL I REPEAT ALL HAIL PHIL SPENCER! AND FUCK SNOY NIGGERS! GAS THEM GAS THEM GAS THEM
Aiden Cooper
still waiting for the bloodborne defense from last last gen. soon they will announce the remastered version and no ps4 to ps5 upgrade, sony cucks will still buy it again
Levi Rogers
> also on win10
xbros....
Tyler Watson
>snoy false flag Xbros and pcbros are brothers. We have each other's backs
Ian Clark
Maybe Phil had to establish himself for some years before he blew a huge amount of cash like that his predecessors never did a deal that big.
Luke Jones
More like Phil "God King" Spencer.
Ethan Lewis
So their big idea is to just let the majority pirate all their exclusive billion dollar games on PC. Hahahaha. These guys are retarded.
no we dont. you and your damn horse armor fucked it up for everyone
Ryder Nguyen
MS makes 8 billion in one quarter. Actually, they make even more.
Easton Murphy
You stream it to those devices like a shitty stadia lol.
Jordan Parker
Bros, is Phil our guy? Is Xbox a console for us NatSocs?
Jackson Mitchell
Remember when Snoys were shitting on him for his cross gen comments and then immediately turned around to "heh, you got outplayed by 4D chess Sony marketing all along" when this was revealed? It feels like a while ago because of the rectal obliteration Snoys have gone through over the last week but it was pretty recent.
How? Where are the new games at launch then? They're offering a service with a big promise for the future but there is nothing at launch except a rental service on subscription.
So people really believe this shit or is just memes. Xbox will end up last again next gen and there is nothing microsoft can do to avoid that. Except buying Sony or Nintendo i guess.
Connor Rogers
It’s almost like Nintendo was smart to just split off and be weird. How the fuck did Sony expect to beat Microsoft at the same game?
Jose Young
>can't compete in making games >just buys out the industry >proclaims himself a winner >still hasn't produced one worthwhile game MS seems to be playing at the total destruction of console gaming
Daniel Howard
this is probably a bait thread, and im admittedly a little bit biased for xbox inspite of owning a ps4. but sony needed to adapt. the signs were there. they should have doubled down on VR or something. now their system is just a worse xbox with possibly less good exclusives.... this is bad for all of us as a microsoft with no competition with shove its dick in your wallet and screaming will only make it more fun for them.
