Yeah, I hope they get the help and support they need.

You know, if Switch doesn't count since it's not next gen, and Series S doesn't count since its not next gen then we can say with confidence that Sony has won the console war forever.
No more need for further bloodshed. The war is over.

I miss the Kutaragi / Hirai era
Corrected me if I'm wrong, isn't NA the biggest market? It's been awhile since I've looked it up. Used to be anyways.MS supplies more units to NA I suppose, while the PlayStation brand is way more popular in most of the rest of the world, so Sony has to spread their available units out more. But yeah, if there's one market MS can win (given that they haven't made any XB1-type fuckups this time around) it's NA, and they're probably very committed to making sure that happens.
Exactly. Sony has been bragging (or not bragging) regarding corporate console wars forever. When PS2 dominated everything, they had no problem going on stage (look at Kaz with his big mouth) and telling the world. The second Wii took over, they then tried the "Sony Family of Products" lump sum of PS2, PS3 and PSP vs Wii which might had scrape up some wins 3 systems vs 1. Of course they left out DS.
Of course it is. Same cpu, slightly less ram, cut down version of the same gpu. Its been designed to play the same games at lower resolution, and settings if need be.
Loads of products ahve a premium and budget version of the same product.
At the end of the day its a entry level next gen maching designed to play the same games as its big brother and PS5. So yes its a next gen machine, and yes its sales will be included with the XSX.
Wii was a class below 360 and PS3 (it was barely better than a GC), yet everyone compares sales during that 2006-2012 gen when all 3 systems were battling it out at the same time.Series S is literally half the price of a Series X right now
Nobody considers the RTX 3050 the same product of a RTX 3090 because they run the same software....
S and X share the same CPU, that's it.
The rest of the hardware specs are completely different

It’s really the only market that matters when major publishers decide what will be their lead platform. That’s why the 360 was the lead platform for most games during that gen.Probably, but that still doesn't mean it's the only market that matters.
The chip shortage is pretty much over. But even when you get chips you still have to manufacture systems and get them to stores. Sony builds most of their stuff with Foxconn in China and with those areas being hard locked down, even if they have consoles produced they can’t get them on a container ship and get them to stores.That's pretty impressive. Not a good look for Jimbo though. Im sure he will blame it on covid and the chip shortage but MS was working with the same constraints. If anything Jimbo shouldve had more leverage in chip allocations when his previous console sold 120 million to 50 million Xbox Ones.
Maybe they are distributing their allocations more evenly in other territories. Still, if I went from 1st place to last place in a matter of 2 years, i would probably not be able to keep my job. Different standards for millionaire CEOs though.
Just so you understand why people are laughing at you, the Series X and the Series S have the exact same feature set with the exception of no 4K on the Series S. That's why, rightfully, everyone classifies them as the same category of product.Series S is literally half the price of a Series X right now

Even the storage space is HALF on Series S despite being an all-digital console
That just means Jimbo is even more at fault. Thats like his main job as CEO.The chip shortage is pretty much over. But even when you get chips you still have to manufacture systems and get them to stores. Sony builds most of their stuff with Foxconn in China and with those areas being hard locked down, even if they have consoles produced they can’t get them on a container ship and get them to stores.
Both Nintendo and MS found a way around that by having other options for manufacturing.
I'd say 1/2 of the 360's were additional purchases.
But I will say the XSX will be around for a long time and has a shot at matching 360's numbers.
The One S wasn’t all digital. Hell it could play UHD Blu-Rays. They made a digital version though without a disc drive for $50 less.Remember when people made fun on the Xbox one s because it was all digital and everyone was calling it a failure. Well it was a test for what's gonna happen next gen, and it looks like the Xbox series S is gonna be the next gen winner when it's all said and done.
So people buy the console but aren’t interested in either games or services. They also aren’t interested in the value for money proposition.
But why do they buy it then? Cause the Switch is also available.

I'd expect we'll get a all digital XSX at some point as well. Once stock normalizes completely, MS will probably try and erase that $100 gap in pricing (maybe moving the XSS to $250).

Some people buy consoles who just want an all in one entertainment hub even though they really have no focus.So people buy the console but aren’t interested in either games or services. They also aren’t interested in the value for money proposition.

While this may true, I believe the real reason is because the PS5 is still impossible to find while you can get series S especially and X everywhere almost.
I also believe sales will shift towards Xbox when COD is on game pass. That will really boost the Xbox. Especially if the deal is closed and they can get COD MW2 in time for game pass
For those in the know, the 360 started out relatively slow in terms of sales. MS said the XBO was outpacing it for awhile after launch, as well. We know how that turned out. It also seems their lead must not be by much, as his wording let's us know that the PS5 is still ahead LTD.

It was during an investor call. They got a (rare) gaming question and answered it.So what happened to Microsoft not caring about hardware console sales?

No, it wasn't a question. It was part of Nadella's presentation.
Keep laughing, I am laughing even harder....
"SAME MACHINE"

They won't cos, Series SX is clearly not out selling PS5. Ther still a 5.5million gap that growing in favour of PS5if the consoles are outselling the playstation give us the numbers you motherfuckers
i need confirmation
Why are the lumping two consoles together?
Seems normal that he would point out that they were doing well. X1 had just about flat-lined by now, even if the trend reverses when things normalize completely, that's still a big boost from last gen.
They lumped the PS4/PS4 Pro, the XBOS/XBOX, the Switch/Lite/OLED, the PS5/PS5DE, but as soon as the XSS/XSX is lumped together it's a problem.
Both consoles have a Zen 2 CPU and a RDNA2 GPU. Trying to pretend that's not a next-generation spec is insanity.
They have the exact same feature set aside from 4K. You're wrong.I don't care about what you consider next-gen or not.
I know for sure they are not comparable machines at all...
