Behold, the Xbox Series X Ultra for $899*

*Charging cable sold separately

1. Even if they sell at a loss, the number of consoles mean the potential number of buyers for games. More consoles sold means they can sell more games and other profit generating products/services.
2. Sony is barely selling any PS5 Pros as there is a low interest at this high price, which is unlikely to change in the future. The current console is not even fully utilized, lot of recent games are still PS4 cross-gen. 0 chance of the base PS5 being left behind
3. MS will not make COD an exclusive, as they will not give up on the chance to sell a 70 USD/EUR game to 60 million PS5 users, which is double the size of their own market

Sony has sold double the consoles this generation (60 vs 30 million I think). And the Series S is very unpopular with devs, increasing the complexity of developing games for Xbox to get just half the PS market.

Game Pass is popular, but it’s just one stream of revenue, and a lot people are only using it on PC. Sony is selling consoles, 70 EUR games, and in addition their own subscriptions.

I understand MS’s strategy, and maybe this was the best they could have done for this gen, but Sony and Nintendo is dominating console gaming, with MS lagging far behind.

This happens when there is a lack of competition. If MS didn’t shit the bed with xbox in this generation, Sony would be trying harder

Thank you, sugar in your tea pee!

Need to try again next week, don’t give up so easily

It’s a bit sad, as Ubisoft made some of my favorite games growing up. I remember playing AC Black Flag and Far Cry 3 10+ years ago, and wanting to move to a tropical island after

She’s lying, many recruiters want to edit your CV in word, e.g. removing contact data, so that the companies can only contact you through them.

Shitty and unprofessional practice, no self-respecting candidate would ever hand out their CV in an editable format

Exactly, so she is lying. It’s not that they can’t open it, it’s that they prefer word.

Not that you can’t copy out text from a digitally created pdf. Still, I only ever send my CV in a locked format, would never send an editable doc

It should be part of elementary/highschool, like it was for me and most gen Y.

I suffered through word editing, excel, ppt, email setup, etc. on 10 year old machines, and it gave the foundations for my studies and life later.

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Three rights do make a left

I am also not the fan of the genre, but it doesn’t really matter too much how good it was, I think it was dead on arrival due to failed marketing:

• Nobody, nobody is paying 40 for a similar game that they can get for free elsewhere. This is the most important failure
• The second failure is lack of promotion, hype creation. For this kind of megaproject high sales expectation, they should have had big campaigns and flooded the PS store with ads

Most likely what happened is the bosses realized near the end that this is never going to make enough money, so they went with the quick death version, and the company can enjoy some major loss write-off from their taxes.

looks in mirror

I have 6 months in Germany, all managers at my company get this. I find it a bit too much, but it can usually be negotiated

I am afraid it’s a bit too late, lot of players already got burnt, and will not return.

I played again after many months and it was fun with friends and strangers alike, but it takes a long time to find teams on higher difficulties, if you are joining alone

O

Lol, fucking AC Mirage, absolutely brutal.

In Germany, most stores sold out Space Marines 2 and AstroBot on day 1, while they had endless piles of SW Outlaws on the shelves, with only a few missing.

I know most sales are digital, but we can assume the spread of interest between these products are mostly the same in all formats.

This game is tanking hard, Ubi will be begging anyone to buy it for 20 by November.

Also: >took really good care of me when I broke both my hands

Good hook to recruit them into your supplement selling MLM scheme

What’s this from?
