Digital games won’t sell out

Uh yea they can because games get pulled from digital stores all the time, never to be seen again. 

Lmfao.. Do you know how much R&D goes into making a console? 

Yearly consoles is not a viable option.

Are you guys mental? I LOVE that you guys think you are the authority on any given subject. Especially biased leftists such as yourselves.

 

Apparently I can't trust the information that I find and hear, I have to go with what Goukosan thinks because he knows the TRUE facts. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Information that you find? When have you actually properly researched ANYTHING? 

Ramza let's be real, you don't actually take the time to look into anything.   Your source of information is random YouTube videos

Difference is when I post stuff I have multiple tangible facts and links to back up what im saying and 7 times out of 10 it's directly from the source or a quote from the source. 

Just like in that book banning thread... Once I dropped all the facts and links to back it up... POOF you're gone never to be seen again.

Lol Deductions are formed from evidence, not just some ignorant person's point of view.

It's called deductive reasoning which is based on logic, Sherlock.

On 2023-09-18 at 9:01 PM, Mr. Impossible said:

 

So in your world logic is just a feeling and doesn't have to be based in reality or any understanding of the subject or subsequent subjects/topics? 

 

So a person who knows nothing about automobiles or combustion engines can logically deduce what's wrong with a car? 

On 2023-09-18 at 9:07 PM, Mr. House said:

It's based on evidences that I have seen and I believe to be true, what YOU think of what I know is absolutely irrelevant to me making a deduction on my own terms. I'm not even asking you to believe anything I say. 

 

And I honestly couldn't care less. Yes, I am inventing all of this in my head, Remy. I never said anything that was factual or based on verifiable information in my entire life. 

This exchange explains sooo much about Ramza.... "if I believe it, it's true... Damn factual tangible evidence"

I also want to add how easy conservatives find it to call people pedophiles and groomers based on nothing, can never concede that a man abused a woman and go out of their way to protect the accused man.

Those books were successfully banned, eventually the cases went to the supreme court which found removing books for simply having same sex couples but aren't sexual explicit to be discrimination. 

 

That's not really the point, the majority of currently banned books aren't banned by woke leftist, they are banned because "adult themes". There are a few for racism here and there but more seem to be banned because conservative concerns than "woke" ones. 

 

It's not an easy answer, there's no single - clear cut - up to date list but after digging through several credible sites that have cataloged banned or "challenged" titles, none of what you are saying is true or even close to it. 

 

How about you just stop making shit up and lying? Why is that so hard for you? You have been clearly just making claims you feel are true based on how much you hate the left and woke people at this point.

Series S still accounts for more than half the total sales though

Just now, Cooke said:

As part of Microsoft’s big, self-imposed FTC leak, a document outlining the company’s April 2022 gaming results provided a clear look at the respective popularity of the company’s two current-gen consoles.

Notably, 74.8 percent of Xbox Series owners purchased the S, while 25.1 percent went with the X. What’s more, the S accounted for 65 percent of Xbox Series console sales that month. It’s worth noting that Xbox boss Phil Spencer predicted as much during the leadup to both consoles’ November 2020 launch.

Old news and that 74.8% solely for April 2022.

Xbox operating profit is higher than Playstation's?  

 

 

Spencer clarified that today it's single digits.. but when they acquire Activision.. that will grow.

 

Misleading chart. 

Xbox operating profits aren't higher than Playstation's.. As you stated Phil clarified that's it's actually in the single digits. 

Read the the chart carefully... It shows "accountability margins"  for Xbox, while PS and Nin showed operating income and net income respectively.

Developers and publishers wouldn't bother if Sony is the only one making games on physical media for an add on device. It would be niche as fuck. The entire world has Internet now, and most games require internet to even play single player. 

Internet on your phone =/=broadband. 

The entire world does not have broadband. 

1 hour ago, Tears of the Cows said:

that’s a fancy way of saying 6% of America doesn’t have access to broadband. 
 

still 6% …..

That's counting slow ass speeds too as low as 25Mbs.  In some areas in America the wired internet is so bad your phone has faster access so people don't even pay for both and just use their phone. 

"Even in areas where broadband is available, approximately 100 million Americans still do not subscribe." 

100 million + 1/4 of Rural America + 1/3 of the Tribal territories = more than 1/3 of the entire US population 

Yes more than 1/3 of the country which is the biggest video game market in the world does not have broadband, access to broadband or access to decent speeds. 

It's in worse in other countries, yes in certain countries it's better as well. 

But point is too huge of a segment of the population doesn't have broadband to go 100% digital and expect to sell 100 million consoles + over a billion in software. 

You need both a physical and digital presence to achieve that.

I buy everything digital nowadays but they need to give people the option. A lot of gamers still prefer physical and they will alienate gamers who prefer physical. The last thing ShitBox needs to be doing now is alienating gamers, they need all the gamers they can get seeing as the console aren’t selling for shit and the brand is a flop.

Yup that's the best option.  Whoever wants to go all digital, you can do that.. Nothing is stopping you. 

Consoles should continue to offer both physical and digital for the foreseeable future.

6% of America lacks access to reliable internet 

"In rural areas, nearly one-fourth of the population..... still lack access to fixed broadband service at threshold speeds."

"In tribal areas, nearly one-third of the population lacks access.

" The Report concludes broadband is not yet being deployed in a reasonable and timely fashion."

And that just America... Now do the rest of the world. 

Sony and Nintendo sell boatloads of physical games worldwide. 

Just now, Remij said:

 

The medium has evolved enough already to support completely digital consoles.

 

There's still a lot of people who buy physical and "fight the good fight" but that's because they aren't currently being forced to.  If the industry decides to put physical out of it's misery, then the vast majority of those people who still buy physical, will bite the bullet and buy it digitally.  The only people who would really cry about it are the small vocal group of physical preservationists.

 

The industry would roll over to all digital and it would be the easiest thing ever.. it's already entirely set up to do so.

Did you read my last post? 

The broadband infustructure isn't mature enough as yet for a 100% digital gaming. 

Sony and Nintendo who both perform well Globally aren't dropping physical anytime soon. 

Force a user to go digital? That user is going to run fiber lines for their entire region or something? Lmfao. 

MS who doesn't sell well Globally and only in certain western markets won't miss much by going all digital.

Get with the fucking times.  If you're still complaining about something tech based in 2024 being possibly online only then you're pathetic as fuck.  ALL of these devices are USELESS without internet as it is.  Who doesn't have internet these days?  If someone doesn't have an internet connection, then maybe they should be worrying about things other than videogames.  Let the medium evolve ffs..

The medium can evolve when the infustructure is mature. 

Have you ever looked into what percentage of the country doesn't have access to reliable internet or broadband? 

Physical media isn't going anywhere until that changes.

To be fair, I expected Microsoft to actually release some big games in the 3 years the console has been on the market growing GamePass...

 

They've failed horribly and I've admitted that.. and GamePass has stagnated as a result.  I blame it on Microsoft's ineptitude.. not necessarily the model itself.

It's the model too.    We have never had a point in gaming where two console manufactures are selling 100 of millions of hardware + over a billion in software EACH.. Within the same gen.   Both Switch and PS4 pulled that off while being on the market at the same time. 

Point im making is traditional game sales (including digital because it's an actual purchase) are bigger than they have ever been in the history of gaming. 

Gaming as a whole is no where close to be ready for a gamepass model. 

Look at the hundreds upon hundreds of millions MS is spending to barely keep GP afloat. 

That's not a sustainable model for decades to come.
