forget about the cheap plastic boxes, 3k gaming pcs up 25% is the real story here
Why would Starfeild have an effect in July?
Bu bu but Jim Ryan is the only one who does that and it doesn't count I'd they buy the whole studio!!! *plegm flies out of throat while exacerbated*Same way I suspect they have planned for a couple years.
Just buy up content, and make it all exclusive.
No? Why would I be new?You must be new to this hobby.
Is there anything MS won't pay for?Yes but… Xbox series is still on top if you look at the image .
Germany First Half: PS5 outsold Xbox Series 10-to-1
PS5 controls two thirds of the market, sales have tripled year-on-year
PS4, NSW sales up
Xbox Series sales have been down almost 18% in 2023

Have we ever seen that before? Where hardware increased noticeably because of a trailer for an unreleased game?I assume because of the press conference hype before the game launches? It's basically a free advertisement for MS. So one would assume at least a bit of a hardware bump before the launch of the game.
Not possible, it will certainly pass the Xbox but that might be the only Microsoft console the Series console outsell.PS5 outselling Xbox ten to one in Germany (and probably in the rest of mainland Europe, too)? Ouch. OUCH! There's a good chance Xbox Series S/X is going to end up as Microsoft's worst selling console - and that's not good considering that its predecessor was already seen as a sales disappointment. IMO it's time for MS to get out of the hardware business and focus on its game publishing business.

Typically we dont see a noticeable bump in Switch sales when there is a Direct that announces new games. Nor was there any noticeable bump from any of the TOTK trailers. I wouldn't expect a State of Play to really bump PS5 hardware either.
The bumps come when the games come out.
Starfield will be a game changer
Xbox will dominate ps5 in September
How the hell would it dominate when 40% of the buying power from playstation gamers in Bethesda Fallout/Skyrim titles will be gone? People must have forgotten how games like Fallout 4 sold on Playstation vs PC and Xbox.Starfield will be a game changer

More thought experiments? Interesting .Same way I suspect they have planned for a couple years.

The hardware sales are definitely bad, I'm not saying they're good. What I am saying is that people interested in Starfield are going to buy the console for it when the game comes out, not two months before.Have we ever seen hardware decline in a console's 3rd year? especially when there were excuses for shortages in its second year for terrible sales. Unprecedented times I guess. Maybe with Xbox consoles.
Starfield is the most anticipated Xbox 1st party exclusive game in a long time where there is a dry draught of no big hitters in a very long time, so at least a blip in the radar for its hardware sales is little to ask for. Yet, the console unit sales are down from last year.
We shall see if Starfield can stop the hardware decline even in the second half of the year. I seriously have my doubts now.
Remember those articles in early 2022 when the Series S and/or X would outsell the PS5 in some countries?I thought Xbox one was rock bottom. But it feels like series is managing to gain even less mindshare.
Nah it'll outsell the original, but will come behind Xbox One.PS5 outselling Xbox ten to one in Germany (and probably in the rest of mainland Europe, too)? Ouch. OUCH!

Fun times.
Many of us tried to say it was only because of stock. I dont know whats going on with Series consoles....but one thing's for sure...Sony doesn't have a stock or demand issue.
Deep discounts on Series S....still declining in sales.
Price increase and a temp price cut on PS5....flying off shelves in both cases.
Its not gonna get any easier. Uphill battle continues for MS.
they did Don dirty, all Phil achieved is failing harder while burning 1000x more money.PS5 outselling Xbox ten to one in Germany (and probably in the rest of mainland Europe, too)? Ouch. OUCH!

The world outside of US and UK doesn't care about Xbox.Jesus…that ps5 x series gap is…something
Xbox as a brand doesn't, papa Microsoft does.I've said it before, the Xbox has been rejected by the market at large, multiple times for at least 10 years straight. They should not have the juice to buy the biggest publishers in the industry and possibly take those games away from said games' main audience by far.
the only month it'll probably dominateStarfield will be a game changer
Xbox will dominate ps5 in September
It won't even dominate/sell more than PS5 in September. I believe the PS5 Spiderman bundle releases that month.the only month it'll probably dominate
Armored core is going to blow away sales of every previous armored core with ease, but mech sim doesn't have the appeal of open world rpg
How about no? Armored Core 6 exist you know? It seems that too many people are still underestimating From Software... I would love for Starfield to be the 10/10 game that we all want. But this year is just packed with great games. And Armored Core 6 IS one of those!
Some of those most dedicated Bethesda rpg fans will move to xbox or pc, obviously dropping playstation will reduce the overall market size for it butHow the hell would it dominate when 40% of the buying power from playstation gamers in Bethesda Fallout/Skyrim titles will be gone? People must have forgotten how games like Fallout 4 sold on Playstation vs PC and Xbox.
I think we're seeing enthusiasts forget the average buyer doesn't follow every press release and product showThe hardware sales are definitely bad, I'm not saying they're good. What I am saying is that people interested in Starfield are going to buy the console for it when the game comes out, not two months before.
If/when there is a Starfield effect, it will be in September.
To repeat my previous question, do you think Mario Wonder's launch in October will give Switch hardware a boost in August?
Everybody does seem to eating up ms slice of the pie, frankly if switch 2 and ps5pro both release next year and ms doesn't have some last minute magic they're done for this gen, they could drop the xbsx to 100 usd and I doubt it could change their situationI thought Xbox one was rock bottom. But it feels like series is managing to gain even less mindshare.
You forget most hardcore rpg fans have already a good pc.They love modding tooArmored core is going to blow away sales of every previous armored core with ease, but mech sim doesn't have the appeal of open world rpg
Some of those most dedicated Bethesda rpg fans will move to xbox or pc, obviously dropping playstation will reduce the overall market size for it but
the game is coming from that sold probably 100 million units on the last 2 games combine (we know skyrim is at 60 million last fallout 4 update was 20 million 7 years ago) even if only 1% of skyrims audience is waiting for starfield to buy a console, that would cause a 600k unit boost in xbox sales.
I think we're seeing enthusiasts forget the average buyer doesn't follow every press release and product show
games move hardware at release , you and I know that because we like data and follow sales, the average enthusiast doesn't

Last year they sold 4 units and this year 5 ?forget about the cheap plastic boxes, 3k gaming pcs up 25% is the real story here
I’ve never heard that term here.And Microsoft will increase the Price from 499€ to 549€
Its already called „Brick Box“ here in Germany.
I literally addressed the point and attributed a tiny number of users a mere 1%You forget most hardcore rpg fans have already a good pc.They love modding too
only a few will buy an xbox x for Starfield because lots of PlayStation owners have already a good pc and lots of Xbox players have also a pc.The PlayStation gamers who wants to play Starfield will do so on his pc.Some players have ps5 and or xbox x/s they will play on them.
Now that's a smooth spin move lolYes but… Xbox series is still on top if you look at the image .
I followed a 2 year MS marketing spin program to be able to get to this level. You start out by simply denying the truth, then lying, and then spinning like a pro.Now that's a smooth spin move lol
If only there was lines like this waiting for Series S/X
I’ve never heard that term here.
Yeah I think you're right, same with all the people who thought Xbox would get an immediate sales boost from its positive showcase.Armored core is going to blow away sales of every previous armored core with ease, but mech sim doesn't have the appeal of open world rpg

strg+f: "Brick Box" 0/0Xbox Series X: Microsoft erhöht die Preise, doch Händler winken ab
Der Preis der Xbox Series X steigt auf 550 Euro, zumindest wenn es nach der UVP von Microsoft geht. Denn Händler und Online-Shops halten sich mit einer Preiserhöhung bisher zurück und bieten die Konsole der Redmonder weiterhin für 499,99 Euro an.m.winfuture.de
It will not dominate any month.the only month it'll probably dominate
Dunno if there are English subtitles but apparently, the kid had a shit youth, especially after that video went viral.
