Money grab. Trying to get up funds for GTA 6.

PS5 sold just 130 units in Spain the week Elden Ring released...
Sublyminal replied to Remij's topic in System Wars
Having more demand than supply means you're doing something right. It means that everything you put on the shelf is sold out the minute it hits that shelf. Sony can't control supply chain issues, no one can. If they could keep up with demand right now, Sony would be at 30-50 million consoles sold. -

I don't remember him owning himself this much back in the day... -
Oh yeah, the cloud isn't going to be able to handle that much throughput or be able to make up for people's connections. Now, if everyone had 1GB/s connections then maybe, but the average person has a 50MB/s connection to their home. I have a feeling honestly that $10 a month is their absolute break-even. If they tried to lower it to $5 to bring in more people they would lose millions every month. Something that would spook the stockholders. As a stockholder, I don't really want to lose any more money if it continues to tank. I'm not going to lie, when I saw it drop $11 in the last

I bet you think the millions of shareholders get a voice in that.... we don't. Do you know how this actually works? Places like the Vanguard Group, BlackRock Inc, State Street Corp. They have all of the say. Between those 3 alone, they control 19% of Microsoft. So basically what you had was VanGuard, BlackRock and State Street get together and say, go for it. What's next? Little stockholders like me, we aren't asked for our opinions on stuff. Though I don't consider $200k a small number, but I digress, when it comes to VanGuard I'm small potatoes in the eyes of Microsoft's

I really don't see Gamepass going much higher than what they're currently at. I see it topping out at around 28 million. Sure they rake in $250 million a month from the 25 million subs they have right now. However, how much do they pay out for server costs plus licensing of certain games, etc? It's an interesting concept but they have to be able to grow the service bigger than their base and right now, it just doesn't seem to be happening... which is why they're begging Sony to allow it on PlayStation.

Since it is all a part of the same company technically I am invested in xbox as well. It's like someone saying they're invested in Sony but don't care how the playstation division is doing. I mean a day ago share price was $290 a share. Now it's $279 a share. A month ago it was $300 a share. There's a reason MS won't release their xbox sold numbers, it's because the stock would tank further. I imagine a lot of this has to do with Activision also pushing back the newest CoD to 2023 and the amount of people willing to upgrade to Windows 11.

Netflix really borked things up by allowing a lot of these movies to leave. They should have locked up deals for 20-30 years before other places began to create their own services. The one good thing that I do like about Netflix is they are not scared to do their own movies and shows. A shit ton of them are absolutely amazing. Do I believe it will be enough to keep their stock around 340 a share? No. They need another hit like Squid Game for that to happen.

There's this thing called overleveraging too much, MS can't use its OS department to cover the losses by its gaming department. eventually if the shareholders begin to see their money affected, they start to sell (not saying this will happen, but it could.) Microsoft could have either made the deals of a lifetime or they could have killed their entertainment business for good, it's going to be about 12-13 years before they make back just the 70B they spent on activision/blizzard. Plus, here were rumblings in the past that this would be the last Xbox console ever made. If this one
