    Comparing latest quarterly results from #Microsoft #Xbox and #Sony #PlayStation is interesting. Xbox need those big titles. Xbox Q2 Xbox hardware -13% Content/services -12% Total gaming revenue -13% PlayStation Q3 PS hardware +46% Network Services +19% Total gaming revenue +53% h…

    It's so obvious which strategy is working better. Since #Xbox went all-in on services, they've been on a steady decline on all their divisions. PlayStation been breaking records by sticking to what they do best: GAMES. Can we drop the “services are the future” bullshit please? ht…

    What this shows. A good leader doesn't necessarily get media praise when making tough decisions which will help both customer and company in the long run. It also shows that pandering to the media gets you praise despite poor performance. Jim and Phil are not the same https://twi…

    Here's the thing about Microsoft not giving the console sales numbers. No one (outside of Microsoft higher ups) actually has any idea if anyone is crushing anyone at all https://twitter.com/...

    Extremely bullish outlook from Sony given there were around ~2m units in channel as of Jan 1. It indicates two things - Production is surging past peak PS4 levels for the second half of the fiscal year - Sony expects demand to remain strong despite having normalized supply now ht…

    Sony reported strong results despite global economy facing downturn. PS5 shipment is improving drastically, with Sony raising that forecast for this FY. Focus is whether (3rd party) software sales will follow that positive momentum, analysts say. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    PlayStation 4 had shipped just under 38 million consoles during the same period of its lifecycle, so PS5 is tracking behind its predecessor (though with significant supply issues due to the pandemic).
