So, it begins.....Horizon coming to Xbox

@navyguy21: "While Nadella didn't share specific figures to illustrate his claims"

C'mon man.

Omg they're charging 70 for this game? Lol... A formulaic Lego game with a horizon skin. Smh🤷

@TheEroica: it's $40....

It's like a 2 second google search 🤦

@uitravioience: thanks for doing that for me! 👍

He is wrong, it is $60/$70 depending on your region.

@navyguy21: everywhere says $40 for me when I search 🤷

@navyguy21: Wait for Game Pass - and pass 😎

Umm... I prefer Microsoft's official financial statements.

I quote: "Gaming revenue increased $1.7 billion or 43% driven by growth in Xbox content and services. Xbox content and services revenue increased 61% driven by 53 points of net impact from the Activision Blizzard acquisition."

The Washington Post is also a good source: "According to a report by the Washington Post, CoD: Black Ops 6 has boosted sales across the board, getting more people than ever interested in Xbox’s Game Pass service."

Or maybe Eurogamer.net is more up your alley?

The fact is, like I have been saying since before this gen launched: it's all about Game Pass, Platform as a Servive (PaaS), not phyisical hardware for MS. PaaS and SaaS are the future of gaming, not physicial media or devices. That's the direction all technology is heading, including gaming.

And yes, Sony will get on board.

I'm having a flashback to this thread: Xbox revenue jump up 43% year on year

Probably because it crashed and burned on PS5 and PC. They're trying to recoup some gains but I dont see it faring much better on xbox tbh

They could always take money to put it into Game Pass, though I'm sure that would cause a ton of fallout from the hardcore fans.
