They used to have the Entertainment and Devices Division which was mostly made up of Xbox and PC games, and they gave profit and revenue figures. Now they don't.They don't, they give revenue per division but never profit.
They gave the xbox revenue numbers last year.
Tremendous and witty. Posting something someone else thought of as your own thoughts. That’s like buying someone’s past and making it your own instead of creating your own.

You posted a pic from a early prototype DevKit that doesn’t even had the PS5 hardware yet.
Game Developers Have Sony's PlayStation 5 Early Prototype and Fans Are Abuzz - Interesting Engineering
The PlayStation 5 won't be available for another year, but it already has crowds gathering around it.amp.interestingengineering.com
Curious about DevKits... it was posted today:
You need to call names? Really? Dude, you’re wrong and he’s wrong about the MLB thing. What I posted is accurate. There is speculation and there is making a statement like his where Sony was “forced” to make the show available to xbox. He can speculate but let’s not make it a definitive statement. This thread is in the gaming section, not communitiesIts exactly what your moronic post deserved.
When they announced the Full RDNA2 spec AMD and Microsoft released a joint statement to say the only next gen console with full RDNA2 is Xbox , you also tweet and engineer who WORKED on making the Xbox and your opinion is better than all of that. Lol
I get that you LOVE Sony and PlayStation but you have some strange obsession with Xbox where you have to downplay as much as you can and that stretched to tweeting n Xbox engineer
let’s be honest. That “FULL RDNA2” is just pure Pr muscle flexing, nothing more then that. It doesn’t say anything if the SoC’s are both RDNA 2 and we already know this by now. We know that Xbox games also have to release on Windows with support for Other hardware and RDNA GPU’s on PC.
Wouldn’t it be strange to go full custom, if you also need to release games on pc? You guys are still acting like you don't get it. I can understand it too, since you guys are the only community who run like sheep after every Pr bullshit from MS, and then get disappointed again like now MS is being vague again.
So "its common knowledge" is your idea of a definitive statement?You need to call names? Really? Dude, you’re wrong and he’s wrong about the MLB thing. What I posted is accurate.

Make sure it's a good one because the next one will be 2023.Reading all the hate is delicious.
Excuse me while I choose what Bethesda game to play next on Game Pass.
You have been writing effectively the same post, over and over again, for two days now.If people really think ps5 will see Starfield same day as xbox IF EVER are still living in denial imho
This is the thing if they say something they have to be accountable to it and if the said its full RDNA2 then it is, sony hasnt come out and said Andy thing about theirs in regard to that which should also tewll you something, same with releasing a deep dive into their own chip. Why didn’t they have the confidence to do that?

Are you trying to convince yourself or what?
I think we all understand your opinion on the matter.
Why? Why need Sony to do everything Microsoft does? Does that make you feel any better? Sure it’s cool to know but their focus is showing games “let the games do the talk” instead of a lot of muscle flexing like MS did, and still having issues in games compared to the PS5. Sony knows how to market, clearly MS still didn’t get this memo.
The majority of the mainstream doesn’t give a shit about how many L2 cache the CPU has. Who knows, maybe they will release something in the future when an engineer talks at a dev event or something.
They do, a lot of them are nervous.
Gosh mine hasn't grown on me at all. It's a good console but ugly as sin.Really? Like non of them? The ps5 grew on me, but then I hid it behind my tv for a while. Going the buy the XsX next week from a friend, with a year gp ultimate for €549.. is it a good deal or? Need some xbox inside
I loved HZD and thought TLOU1 was decent the rest were over-rated over-hyped disappointments for me.Really? Like non of them? The ps5 grew on me, but then I hid it behind my tv for a while.

In 2013 under a different CEOThey used to have the Entertainment and Devices Division which was mostly made up of Xbox and PC games, and they gave profit and revenue figures. Now they don't.
Good to see you again Osiris!So after purchasing a Huge studio Microsoft is going to make their biggest titles exclusive? I'll take what is, Water is wet for 7.5 billion?
They would have to break a contract. Maybe would end up in protracted litigation, or maybe they don’t think the cost of breaking the deal would be worth it for two titles no one seems particularly excited about? Neither of us know the legal position, making speculation pointless.So only SOME exclusives are worth it? Because that word is prominent these days. There are 2 exclusives sitting their for the plucking. Al they have to do is spend money, which they have in their couch cushions apparently, and bam. 2 new exclusives this year for their systems.
Since Phil is so focused on Game Pass the exclusive games may be the ones that would never survive retail and could only exist on a service like GP. Big tentpole games get released everywhere with possible Xbox exclusive content + GP to lure gamers over.

Some idiots aren't worth wasting your time own. They can't even see their own hypocrisy.
The real problem here is that while you're right, I don't see you or any other people asking why Sony or Nintendo don't go after more profits by putting more of their content on products outside of their hardware ecosystems. Now why is that?If you own an IP, you make money off the product no matter where it is sold. If you own the DOOM IP and sell a copy of DOOM on PS5, then you make money off that.
This is pretty simple.
It's not as if they can only make money off Skyrim if it is on Xbox alone. This is what all the "IT MUST BE EXCLUSIVE" people seem to think. No. In fact they will make more money if they also sell it on Playstation and Switch. Gamepass cultists don't want to hear it, but it's fact.
Attack? Microsoft has trillions blah blah blah...7.5 billion chump change blah blah...They would have to break a contract. Maybe would end up in protracted litigation, or maybe they don’t think the cost of breaking the deal would be worth it for two titles no one seems particularly excited about? Neither of us know the legal position, making speculation pointless.
I am genuinely curious who you think is in control of these decisions, if you don’t think it’s Microsoft?
I find this line of attack from you and others curious in the extreme.
one idiot even claimed Sony was forced to release the show on xbox.Some idiots aren't worth wasting your time own. They can't even see their own hypocrisy.
Make sure it's a good one because the next one will be 2023.
But... there is another way to look at it. Maybe MS likes the idea of Bethesda software basically being free for GP right now (development paid for by the existing PC/PS sales along with the Xbox sales that aren't cannibalized by GP).
I probably answer the endless cascade of "can't wait to play all Bethesda games on PlayStation" bs that you can read every 2 postYou have been writing effectively the same post, over and over again, for two days now.
Are you trying to convince yourself or what?
I think we all understand your opinion on the matter.
You don't understand, the choice was Microsoft to make the minute they opted to purchase Bethesda and Bethesda agreed to a buyout. There are different styles of M&A that a purchasing company can use. MS using a reverse triangular merger method is why they are honoring the agreements Bethesda made, and even then you could opt to breach the contractual agreements and pay the fines associated with that, more then likely the investment Sony made in obtaining the exclusivity. However, they chose not to, because it's a smart choice financially.No because that choice is not there’s to make and exercising ownership after the fact would be dumb and get them into a lot of legal troubles.
The deal is with Sony and Bethesda.
Usually it's followed by a so you can bask in their intelligence and wallow in stupidity.Its exactly what your moronic post deserved.

The constant need to flood these threads with "authoritative" sounding posts speaks volumes of their need to be heard or at the very least be seen as some sort of authoritative figure. Using nonesensical terms like "common sense" in conjunction with words like "logic" are among their favorite tactics. The former being a cardinal sin in any form of discussion.
Best thing to do is not engage as no matter how much sense or thought you put in, it will be impossible for you to come to common ground with them. The post history is there. Also, its entirely plausible that these folks don't work or have a family and have a lot more time on their hands than you do.
Dude, it's common knowledge that MLB forced Sony's hand in this situation.This isn’t the xbox ot where you can post things and be applauded. If you make a false statement like you made, you’re getting called out. If you want to continue to be uninformed then by all means, stay ignorant. But saying Sony was forced by MLB to release the show on Xbox is about as accurate as saying companies are forced to release games during the holidays to maximize sales. Microsoft should be happy Sony is allowing it because xbox gamers get a quality baseball game this year instead of waiting for EA to make them one. They had 15 years to make an MLB game and didn’t or couldn’t.
Starfield will release this year you can count on that.
I have a feeling Wolfenstein 3 and Starfield will release this year and be Exclusive.
Very. All you have to do is look back on the last game Todd Howard directed. Do you want me to tell you the timeline or will you look it up for yourself?
i dont think having your last game being fallout 76 a barometer for anything but well see, now that i think about it you are probably rightVery. All you have to do is look back on the last game Todd Howard directed. Do you want me to tell you the timeline or will you look it up for yourself?
This confuses me because a game like Spiderman would sell well on both Xbox and Switch yet Sony does not release it anywhere but PlayStation, but MS should put their big titles everywhere because why? Wouldn't making the big titles exclusive get more people to your services rather than putting your titles everywhere so people can easily avoid Gamepass the thing you want to expand? Which grows Gamepass faster making the games available everywhere or exclusive to the Xbox platform?Nah, it'll be like the Disney+ model. Big movies go to theaters, shows like Wandavision stay exclusive to the service. The idea would be to profit off the tentpole everywhere plus lure people into the service telling them they could have got said tentpole for 'free' had they just subscribed.

Fallout 76 three years ago
This is a new IP and they will have been hit by covid
I'm not going to rule it out but its unlikely
His last game wasn't Fallout 76. Do some research before you post.
