XBox Series X and S Lauched
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-...aunch-everThey claimed they had sold more consoles in more countries than ever before.
Eurogamer Wrote:The mention of more countries this time around is also important. Xbox Series S/X arrived on the same day in 37 markets, compared to just 13 for the Xbox One.
They refused to tell us how many consoles they've sold so far and even stated that Google won't reveal how many chromecast pros they've sold.
Phil Spencer on XBox Series X
https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/n...t-series-xThe Guardian Wrote:The looming Netflix-ification of video games threatens to upend the whole idea of video game consoles. Amazon and Google are both working on game streaming services that let people play cutting-edge games without paying for a box that sits under the TV. And Microsoft has spent the past five years spending billions on game developers to shore up its star service: Xbox Game Pass, a monthly subscription that lets you play hundreds of games for a monthly fee.
So be aware of their interest in going online instead of just focusing on a specialized console that depends on discs.
Microsoft Executive Vice President of Gaming Phil Spencer Wrote:Things that lack backwards compatibility become less interesting. Putting our games on PC becomes a reason that somebody doesn’t have to go and buy an Xbox Series X. I’ll hold fast to this.The good part is that you can also play them on your PC!
Oh and Microsoft had acquired Bethesda Softworks for $7,5 billions. They're the company behind hits like Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
Microsoft Executive Vice President of Gaming Phil Spencer Wrote:From a pure business standpoint, I think what we’ve seen is an acceleration of a trend that was already happening: gaming is already the fastest-growing form of media and the largest business that’s out there. I know certain people say it’ll go back to normal, but I think what we’ve seen is new people finding video games as a great outlet for them, and that’s gonna continue for years and decades.
So it seems Microsoft feels confident their latest purchase will pay off in (a slightly short period of) time.
