“But yeah, it’s obvious you live in your own little world, far removed from reality.”
I didn´t said those games flopped. But it´s obvious that *right now* both games aren´t doing better than its predecessors in sales.
“Rebirth in one month has already sold more than Starfield even though it was on a on a single platform, and it’s already shown to have long legs, and FFXVI was pulled back into the top 20 on the success of Rebirth while

“Starfield will be on PlayStation way before Spider-Man or Final Fantasy will be on xbox.”
You have a beautiful crystal ball.
“You should be more worried about the fact that major publishers are questioning if it’s even worth it to bring games to xbox anymore”
Which publisher?

“The report LITERALLY says FF VII Rebirth is performing strong.”
In comparison with Rebirth?
“Why is there this narrative that just because Xbox does poorly that suddenly Playstation and/or Nintendo are dragged along with them?”
Who said Nintendo? Sony is the only company out three who lost 10 Billion because they failed to meet their own sales target for the PS5.

“Spider-Man 2, on only one platform, was the 4th best selling game of 2023. WTF are you on about? Do we ignore that Helldivers 2 is also $30 cheaper than Spider-Man 2?”
So? Doesn´t make Helldivers II´s achievement in sales as a multi platform game any less impressive! If anyone had told you that Helldivers II would outsell the freaking Spider-Man 2 in sales in the same time frame in UK, you would have had a good laugh.
“Oh, NOW we care about the profitability of a business. Not when talking about Game Pass, only when talking about Sony exclusives.”
We heard from Jim Ryan how Gamepass weren´t sustainable and viable model. We heard from many “insiders” rumors that Microsoft would drop day one games on Gamepass.
And here we are. Almost 7 years later and Gamepass is still going strong.
Under Nadella Microsoft has become the most valuable company in the world. Under Phil Spencer Xbox has become Microsoft´s third biggest business ahead of the freaking Windows.
Last time I checked Sony had lost 10 Billion in market value because they couldn´t meet their own PS5 sales projections.
Those are the *facts*. So no, I´m not worried about Gamepass profitability at all.
That said, I´m not worried about Sony exclusives either, because they already said they´re pursuing a more aggressive multi platform route with PC gaming, which based on Helldivers II massive success on PC, is imo, the best way to go.
