I would assume the shipping part, if not some vague technicality, is due to Forza 6 releasing.

Now that's content tailor made for GAF. Thread worthy unlike your Women-led games thread.

I always knew MS was a low company, with departaments sabotaging one another, but to talk like that when PS is still OFFICIALLY in transition is an aboslute LOW BLOW...
PS: ""At the same time, we're increasingly becoming a platform, and in order to become a platform...", WHAT THE F* XBOX WAS BEFORE ?! :-D 4 video games generations and this shit is not a platform yet ?!

Wow she really is de-emphasizing their own console...to paraphrase...."we'll have reference hardware but will also be looking to meet gamers where they are (mobile+pc/handheld presumably)."
Interviewer: "So its 2030 you've had 4 years leading xbox what does success look like to you?"
Asha: "I'd love to see us be the number one gaming and entertainment company"
Lol. Oh sweet delusion.

They probably seen crazy sales on Xbox consoles in some regions in the last month and realised it's because Forza isn't on ps5 yet.

Damn, this sounds like a return to form for XBOX.
Sharma is a woman that will inspire many more. She should make a bold move and hire talent from some Sony's studios like SSM, Guerrilla or ND. Big names like Ariel, Neil or Cory. Hit them where it hurts, make them run back to Japan in fear.

And I still don't believe what she's saying. Weren't they rumored to sell 1.5 million Xbox consoles last year? She wants us to believe they shipped 500,000 Xbox consoles worldwide over the last three months?
Yeah man. That part of Xbox is over.
From what I can tell if they sold 1.5 million last year she's claiming they shipped that in her first 100 days....
My thoughts are sales were super low so existing channel inventory supplied basically all of 2025 and now they finally either restarted limited console production or they had a couple more warehouses already stocked ready to go from earlier production back when forecasts would have been for 10+ million units per year.

Oh yeah, Xbox

Oh, you're right. I never considered that, and that could actually make what she says technically correct. Especially, like you said, if they restarted manufacturing knowing that this is Xbox year 25 and they had stopped manufacturing Xboxes last year in 2025.

"Shipped more in the last 100 days…" how well does that correlate with their games selling on Sonys platform? Or are they just referring to the consoles?
In the context of her comments I believe she was talking about consoles.
Its not clear what she's talking about exactly. Games, consoles or what.

Establish your exclusives, I think we all know the consoles have gotten better, try to clean up the subscription system, should be smooth sailing the rest of the way if you're Xbox.

I'm assuming her idea of "some form exclusivity"
Is Gamepass, Quick Resume, Play Anywhere…just ancillary services that are not flag pole features many care about
Gears will be the line in the sand for sure. At any point they could've announced it was coming to PS5, just like Fable or Halo
If they show a PS5 logo this weekend, it's over for sure

I'm Indian and let me tell you, being Indian is actually a great thing.
We have beautiful people and we have ugly people. Just like any race.
I for one am a great person, have great friends, and I take care of every one that is in my life and I am glad to do it, and for that I have people that love me around me.
Also, Indian parents are one of the best parents you can have. Sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. As long as your not a selfish dickhead.
Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off.
Suck my dick. Suck my dick.

Let's see how serious she is with this on the upcoming showcase. If we're seeing PS5 logo's and all the big first party games coming to PS5, it's all bullshit.

100 percent this. Let's see how it goes on Sunday because you can't talk like this and announce gears for ps5. That would be the nail in the coffin for this girl for sure.
I get that ports might be deep in development, but it's time to put your money where your9uth is Asha.

Xbox fans when Xbox marketing says that exclusives are bad: "Sony and Nintendo should be cool and follow this example!"
Xbox fans when Xbox marketing says that exclusives are important: ""Stick it where the sun don't shine, Sony and Nintendo! We are so back!"
I'm getting absolutely sick of all that corporate blah-blah from Microsoft, Sony, and the rest. Just shut your mouths and show us the numbers if you want to flex about your success. All this yapping is just plain boring now.
And then there are all the fanboys who feel compelled to immediately defend every single statement. Microsoft, Sony, and the like don't give a shit about the community. They just want your money and try to sweet-talk you with polished, empty statements. Anyone who still lets themselves be taken in by that is truly beyond help.

Yeah, Sunday will tell us much more. Gears and halo are a good place to start. They should be exclusive. Cancelling the PS5 port of forza horizon 6 would make a lot of noise. She can't just do this stuff though. She'll need backing from higher ups but are they on board? They must be, otherwise why would she even say any of this at all? Who knows what the heck is actually going on at xbox behind the scenes? Everyone says different things that contradict each other. Let's see what happens at the showcase.
