Xbox is now $200 more expensive than it was when it released.
Billionaires need you to pay their cut. If there were no billionaires things would be cheap by comparison.
>>722338736>Why aren't people buying our system?>Maybe it's too cheap
>>722338736That 74,99 360 is looking really appealing now.
>>722338943I think they might not actually be wrong. Being the Great Valu brand of gaming has a negative connotation when Sony and Nintendo are priced as premium products. Streaming servers NEED to be cheap though or people will pirate so they fucked up.
>>722339118It's a replica made of mega blocks. The SeX on the bottom shelf is a replica mini-fridge.What's going on at that Best Buy? Does it have a single "real" console for sale?
>>722338736>division is struggling>let's fire people and make it more difficult to show results>console is struggling>lets increase its price and turn an unappealing product even less desirable What is happening at MS?Pretty obvious the pajeet ceo just wants to end the gaming division.Just kill it already.
>>722341583Halofags will always rush in to save Xbox
>>722338736Why have the big 3 gone full retard this generation? All of them have raised prices on their shit with zero justification. We certainly aren't getting a higher standard product or more bang for our buck.
>>722341583Apparently they're doing things right, considering their stock performance. Or maybe Burgerica's economy is just a big fat joke. What do I know.
>>722338736It doesn't even make sense. Those consoles are using 7nm chips from 5 years ago (using a tsmc process from 7 years ago), and ssd+ram prices have come down substantially in the last 5 years, so why are the consoles more expensive now?
>>722338736Well you better buy now before it's $300 more expensive than it was at launch. >>722341583They don't want to sell games anymore but are compelled to keep making them to not completely abandon PC gamers to Valve and it's dreams of a Linux future.Keep gamers on windows is their only strategy, and if they make money on PS and NS on the side that's just extra gravy
>>722338736>She boughted a poojeetbox series ass
>>722338736please only fire women
I sold my XSS in a pawn shop for ~100 dollars
>>722338736Nintendo dodged a bullet because Microsoft decided to be an even bigger jew
>>722338736>double the money supply during covid with a printing press>give it all to billionaires with zero strings attached>fail to arrest, charge and sentence these con men to death>everything now costs x2 more>inflation renders the fake money worthless>billionaires spent it all buying up assets >you plebs left hold the bags>blame china and russiaYou have no idea how bad things are going to get. You can't eat video games.
>>722338736You voted for this
>>722341583I like this pic

>>722341583Late stage capitalism
>>722343786Well look at it this way that pawn shop owner is going to be able to $25 for it in 2035, when some retro game YouTuber is making his "Xbox wasn't so bad" video
>>722338736Thank you Tariff man!
>>722344141you may save it, you have my permission
>>722341583Activision makes insane amounts of moneyBethesda makes some amounts of moneyThe rest of Xbox loses loads of moneyMicrosoft doesn't need Xbox anymore to be a dominant force in the gaming industry, so why should they continue burning money to keep propping it up?They could just immediately shut down the remains of Xbox, but that'd face potential backlash from the public and potentially tarnish Microsoft Gamings reputation especially among those who've already invested heavily into the Xbox ecosystem by either buying an Xbox Series console or by going all-in on Game Pass.The right thing to do is to slowly make Xbox undesirable. Game Pass that's a really good value getting shut down? Betrayal. Game Pass that's expensive and just not worth subscribing to is shutting down? Understandable.
>>722338736But /v/ still says Sony is the one doing horrible now...I'm sure it isn't angry thirdies who can't afford a Playstation, right?
>>722343124Retard.
>>722344460>snoy so mindbroken he needs xbox threads to copekek
>>722338736You should look at how much more expensive rent and food got in the same time
>>722343948nah everyone will pretend that Nintendo invented more expensive video games no one ever cares that the fed turned the dollar into a shitcoin
>>722343124The stock is all AI hype and enterprise software. Xbox is a side hustle to M$ and always has been.
>>722338736>make poojeet shitskin the ceo>he ruins both microsoft and xbox>instead of taking the L, he punishes the rest of the company and customers unlike someone like iwata who cut his own salarymoral of the story: do not hire poojeet streetshitters and deport their asses back to shithole india
How do they spend so much on IP and then decide not to make them exclusive to their console ?They could declare COD an Xbox exclusive and people would buy the console.
>>722345357Only explanation is they're going to exit the console buisiness
>>722345357Because they spent so much they couldn't make it exclusive
>>722345357The FTC stepped in and said that making CoD an Xbox exclusive was anti competitive. Keeping CoD multiplat was a necessary condition for the FTC to approve the Activision deal.
>>722345357majority of money comes from microtransactions anyway
>>722341583Nothing short of the amazing leadership and problem solving skills of CEO SAItya NAIdellAI. Surely forcing everything to involve AI and copilot and everyone to use AI and copilot in everything every day will fix this somehow.
>>722343124Stocks are just what investors think something is worth, they aren't representative of the actual profits a company are making.
>>722346052How is Mario being a Nintendo exclusive not anti-competitive then ? Such a dumb argument.
>>722345357Microsoft entered console wars because they were afraid it was gonna take over everything and become the next big thing. The real next big thing was smartphones.
>>722346784Man everything went wrong when the iPhone came out
>>722346557You can't buy your competitors and make stuff exclusive
