Pretty sure it's already called PlayStation 5

@SMJ You've missed the point completely.

Of course their figures are the best ever, they pumped $80 billion in. That's how value is worked out!

The actual test of sucess is if the same level of growth is seen in the next set of figures.

Because if not, then clearly "The best ever year" was actually articfially inflated by a cash infection and not because of business growth.

" Xbox made more money in 2024 than they ever did in any year prior,"

Yeah, acquiring a $80 Billion company in the form of Activision will do that funny enough.

Now look at the break down of those same figures and remove activision out of the sums and Xbox is down bad.

@Kaloudz
"Do you mean to tell me that as a consumer, you don't feel that Xbox is better now than ever before?"

No.
As an owner of digital Xbox games, the platform looks like its going to fold.

So there goes thoses digital games. As a consumer, that's crap.

@Kaloudz Xbox is the strongest it's ever been?

Exclusive games are no longer exclusive, the hardware is selling the worst it ever has and the future for the entire platform looks in doubt.

How on earth is this the strongest ever?

Do you understand that the entire platform business is centred of that 30% cut Xbox gets from each game sale right? Sure they get some money from subscriptions but their goal was 100 million by 2030 and there is no way of reaching that now.

Once the 30% cut is gone then entire platform is dead and Xbox becomes a 3rd party publisher like Sega or EA.
