Glad it helped!

@ScouterVee wow! A big fan of yours! I am recording to OBS but use the Nvidia rtx voice thingy for some noise cancelling then I do some eq and compression in Resolve.

@armaneoxy1491 I wanted to but Luna isn't available in Sweden. And using it via vpn would have been unfair.

@AdmiralBison I actually like your take on this 😆

@Ekwensummaara you don't have to ... Just like and subscribe ... It should be good enough 😜.

They pay a billion dollars to those developers, everyone wins.

@nate1735 I am not sold on Indiana Jones tbh. As for Stalker 2, it sure looks great and so far I didn't see the ugly "gameplay captured on PC" watermark on the trailer so ... It could be nice on series X.

@@FJGamerDad whats so ugly about seeing "gameplay captured on PC" ? Isnt it a good thing?

@smwfreak1647 it depends where you are planning to play the game I guess. Usually gameplay captured on PC gives an unrealistic representation of how the game will look like on consoles. Obviously looking better than what a console would deliver. So yeah I tend to be very sceptical about gameplay trailers.

@RandalphTheBlack I have a video coming out regarding cloud gaming. And not to spoil anything but ... You might be surprised. I was to say the least 😅.

They should at least try to compete with Valve's monopoly.

@@houragents5490 valve sooner than later might separate themselves from other pc handheld makers they are the only one that makes games

@AJJJ-co2vd You have a different opinion and I respect that! If you have the means and ability to get the best console ever made, there is absolutely no reason to not do it ;)

@AJJJ-co2vd you are exagerating a bit :D I guess you are referring to either Game Pass andd/or cloud gaming on Geforce now ;)

@AJJJ-co2vd you are absolutely correct that console players are no longer a priority for MS.

mmhmm this is a point very few ppl make. PS4 owners are buying up a lot of games I read so basically we're stuck with a PS4.5 and Xbox One X-X type shiz. I won't say much about the Switch other than its an underpowered, overvalued POS 😁

There is a reason as to why "people" (aka developers) keep saying that series S is holding this generation of Xbox consoles back. Multiplatform development is not a problem in and of itself. It is the shitty development pipeline that MS imposes on game studios imposing a tedious optimization specifically for Xbox series S that is causing issues.

@newjackgaming88 that's exactly why I would like for MS to double down and make the future Xbox console more open, more integrated to Windows, allow 3rd party launchers, Geforce Now native app, etc..

Already can do that on my PC and phone.

Honestly they are both awful at this point both are stuck in the previous generation ps4/xbx1 content. It's just that sony's was better because MS thought they were some entertainment box or something. But pretty much replaying remakes and remasters from the ps4 era. Where is Fable? They have so many IPS now.

@davis760 I feel I need to clarify again that this video is just focusing on the console side of things. I acknowledge in my video that Xbox (aka Microsoft Gaming division ;) ) has the best strategy. I just think that there is a possibility to still save the hardware side of the business.

@@FJGamerDad gotcha!

No the series s is possibly the larger user base of xbox specially during the chip shortage. Alot of the time the myth of underpowered console is false. How do I know? I got a PS4 pro and it's still going strong with releases, and horizon forbidden west a next gen one with high end graphics runs fine on it. Take black myth wukong for example I would guess its not the technical limitation or series s/x. Its a business one.

And how do you reckon that will go down? "Sorry, you bought the wrong console, you're not getting any new games for it. Please buy a Series X". Do you realize how stupid that sounds or do I have to spell out for you that not a single person who owns a Series S would upgrade to a Series X but just buy a PS5 instead?

@@sejoki_ i seen a few xbox youtubers say to xbox get rid of series s it has held back the series x because of microsoft insistence of parity with series x

@bosskey23 I think perpetuating a clearly dying business model is suicidal. The sales of the PS5 pro will show if there is still a market for traditional consoles. But I would urge MS to differentiate itself from what Sony is doing. They did that beautifully with the software and services (Game pass, cross platfrom saves and cloud gaming) and they should do the same with hardware. Offer a more open console similar to what Valve did with the Steam Deck. Embrace the integration with Windows to a certain extent. Just do something different and don't screw up the marketing like they have been doing since the Xbox One.

@@FJGamerDad The PS5 Pro is a niche idea. The iphone Pro Max sells less than the base model. Does that mean that the smartphone business model is dying? The PS5 Pro is marketed towards hardcore fans

@bosskey23 I am convinced that traditional consoles as they are this generation will disappear. Why would MS have initiated their pivot toward the "gaming as a service" model do you think? Why did Nintendo develop a completely different concept to MS and Sony with the Switch? A simple plastic box used just to play games and do some multimedia stuff isn't enough anymore. Especially if one looks at the demographics and how the younger generations have a completely different approach to gaming. In that regard slapping "Pro" to a slightly better product doesn't change the outcome. Also comparing smartphones to consoles is slightly irrelevant. They simply do not have the same importance in our daily life. A "Pro" phone can have some "Pro" features specifically targeted toward professional use cases which actually add value to the users. A "Pro" gaming console on the other hand? I for one find it comical :D. Btw I appreciate you challenging my POV! It can only help us all move forward! I hope you subscribed to the channel ;)

@@FJGamerDad Both Nintendo and Xbox had to pivot because they cant compete with PS. The Gamecube and Xbox One were failed consoles. PS will continue to make more money per user. Top tier AAA games will go up in price since the industry is tried of subsidizing gamers. UA-cam is an echo chamber. No casual in the real world cares about all stuff. No one wants to deal with PC MP cheaters and the lack of sports games. Handheld gaming isnt new, young gamers play on whatever they can get their hands on. I played on a Gameboy as a kid and so did may other kids. Once these kids grow up and make their own money. Their playing habits will change as well.

@@bosskey23 Gamecube and Xbox og were failed consoles sure. But the Wii and xbox 360 beat the ps3 im pretty sure the Wii thrashed the ps3? Microsoft didn't really pivot with 360 they just did it better than Sony. Better price, easy to develop for (causing the ps3 power advantage to be nullified for more than 3 years and issues with many mutliplats), better tech like the controllers and Xbox live, plus PS3 was the arrogant sony era of insulting consumers for questioning it's pricing etc. Only the tail end MS became lazy and Sony completely restructured to take advantage of the ps3's potential and marketing and caught up, with Ken's influence completely out of the picture. What MS did was pivot with the xbox one for no reason other than to exert dirty monopolistic corporate tendencies that they are famous for. Having won that generation they thought they were apple of the consoles and blew their lead with BS DRM, always online to play, tv entertainment hub BS and just nothing but apathy to their consumers. Kind of like how Sony was tone def at the PS3 lauch and now is again behaving the same with the PS5 pro.

😂 Xbox is dominating..

@@dusermiginte4647 PlayStation leads the Big 3's earnings with $30 billion revenues generated through calendar year 2023, but Xbox isn't so far behind with $18 billion

@@jaywyse7150 You talking about earnings or revenue? Maybe profit margins 🤔? Nice try. No, Xbox is not going anywhere, at least not now. In case you forgot Microsoft just bought Call of Duty (and a bunch of other franchises too) while Sony just lost $400+ million dollars on Concord - and there will still be more failures at Sony too. Frankly I worry more about Sony right now than Xbox.

That's actually funny ... but sadly true by the numbers :D

Nintendo doesn’t even have their current gen console yet…

@@las549I think you don’t know anything about the console gen system let me list the ninth gen consoles Atari VCS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PS5 those are all of our current gen consoles

@andrewsqual I am sorry if it came across that Xcloud is Phil Spencer's idea in my video. What I meant is that the strategy of having Xcloud as the lowest entry point into gaming (because in essence you can cloud game using any device therefore you don't have to pay for pricy console or pc) is a great idea in my opinion. But I also say that they didn't market it well AND more importantly it is technically a subpar experience when compared to Geforce Now. The reason I bring up Geforce now is because that, as far as I tested, it is the benchmark when it comes to cloud gaming. I have tried the Free and Ultimate tiers and yes both have some issues that I will cover in a future video but both are way better than Xcloud. I am genuinely interested in where you got the " 75% of the series console install base is series S" from. Can you post a link to your soruce about that? I am intrigued!

I love my ps5 and I KNOW i made the right decision

@deadringer8050 nah mate. Cause the ps6 is gunna cost an arm and a leg. Where the next xbox wil stay competitive.

@@philipberlandayou don’t think the new Xbox is going to be expensive? Of course it is

@llks1772 I could wait for a sale. Because my Xbox is so good. I'm most likely not going to get a next Gen xbox right away. Where playsation doesn't really have sales anymore. Because they do so well. They don't see the point in losing money since they know people will buy it anyways. That's the problem with winning the console war. Is the playsation fans lose because they are stuck with what ever the heads decide. If xbox wanted to make an expensive console they would have come out with a midgen console. Knowing that you can still buy a regular xbox that kindnof counters your argument.

​@@deadringer8050have fun with remakes and..... Remakes.. 😂

I think the reason is because the new console is going to have pc functionality.. and anouncneding it too early could cause some developers to stop making xbox versions of their games completely..in lue of just doing the pc version instead for it.... which would cause the current xbox to have a lot of canceled games...

They have mentioned a next gen console you must live under a rock 🤷‍♂️.Everybody knows its Sony who waits to see what xbox does so they can copy them and its been that way forever

@@GoHardOrGoHome85 yep even most of the console reveals every gen I think Sony has always waited for xbox to go first. Which to me doesn't show market leader assuredness

@waynerice4918 thanks mate!

@MagnumMotions that's because both the hardware and the marketing are underwhelming.

Xbox Hardware is better than ps5 so....

@FJGamerDad I agree and disagree at the same time, the word of mouth marketing is the most powerful marketing there is, I have seen countless people recommending gamepass as it offers many games and seamless connection between xbox and PCand that too very cheap, yet people simply don't want to buy it. And yes Microsoft marketing is all over the place

@holliswhite1494 let's not take one exception and make it a rule ;). Concord is colossal failure no doubt. However, saying that Xbox has way more games coming out in the future is a bit wishful. You don't review a product on what it could be in the future. You assess what it offers now. Because as we have experienced time and time again, promises are valid only for those who believe in them. Should I remind you about Lords of the Fallen, Starfield and Halo infinite to name a few? All were hyped as the next big thing by Xbox and all disappointed. Except Concord, Sony has better IPs and exclusives compared to Xbox. God of War, Spiderman, Death Stranding, etc.. I repeat it, I love Xbox but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't criticize what they are doing right now.

@@FJGamerDad name the Sony made genes then sir not games coming to Sony I’ll wait ??

@@FJGamerDad Sony only game this year is astrobot

Xbox does have way more games on the way it a fact.More studios will equal more games and at least xbox has a roadmap nobody knows wtf Sony is working on in 1st party

@@holliswhite1494 Exactly, a game announced in May and launched within 14 weeks and is gunning for GOTY. That proves that anything can happen at PlayStation when it comes to games. What happened all of Xbox's 2019/2020 announced games? What is the release year for Everwild, Fable, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3? We know there are games coming to Xbox........ they are coming HALF A DECADE NOW. Avowed was supposed to be this year and is now 2025. Fable and the others probably will get pushed to 2026, no matter what anyone wants to claim might be the release year on any of them right now. And in the middle of all these no release dates.... they announce a new Gears? When will that be, 2027? You need to get this new silly Xbox touted made up thing of a "roadmap" or "announced games" list out of your head because its meaningless when another company can just spring a GOTY game on to the industry in just a few short weeks.

@ridiculous_gaming the problem is not the Series S. The problem is the process that the developers have to go through in order to get a game to be released on both X and S. You can look it up, developers hate it! The development kit offered by Sony to developers is far more streamlined and easy to implement.

But then how often does it happen, for example we thought the reason Black Myth was delayed on Xbox was because of Series S, turns out it wasn't, then there was this other small game, turns out it had to do with Xbox approving the game and not the series s , and is the complaining real when they release games playable on the steam deck, the fact COD 6 runs and looks great on the series s, Cyberpunk looks amazing, Forza 5, we gonna get a new MS Flight simulator releasing with no problems@@FJGamerDad

@thelastanimebender2992 If you own a series S and you are happy with it then I am genuinely happy for you. Regarding the Black Myth Wukong, I do not believe in a "secret" exclusivity deal. Neither Sony nor Game Science confirmed that piece of news. Developing a game is not a piece of cake especially for multiple platforms and even more especially for consoles because the development pipelines are different from one console manufacturer to the other. A game can be working on a Steam Deck and look great because it's waaaaaaaay smaller resolution and the Steam OS is very optimized. The Xbox dev kit is notorious among developers for being a pain in the ... Just google it.

@dadsongamer2653 you are soooo right! But let's be hopeful 😅.

@lukill6948 Thanks man! Doing my best 😆

They want Xbox to fail so bad …🤣😂😆 as Xbox keeps winning and growing 😬😎✌🏽

@phbranding8530 I am not sure about the cash 😉. For sure they had some good financial backing from Microsoft. But that's an investment that needs to be paid back in some way. And you can see that MS is now pressuring Phil Spencer and Xbox as a whole to start delivering results. Which unfortunately means at this point in time people being laid off and price hikes for Xbox game pass. And that's exactly because the hardware, that carries games sales and game pass subscriptions, is underwhelming and underperforming. PS5 is outselling Xbox series by at least 2 to 1. If that's not a failure for you @Mcfigg, I don't know what is 🙂. And to be clear I love Xbox and it pains me to see the state it's in.

@@FJGamerDad Luckily, they are publicly traded so we don't have to guess or speculate. We can read the balance sheets. Their gross income has eclipsed every gaming company except for Tencent. But more importantly, their profit and profit margins are greater than Sony's. They are a business and yes, layoffs are part of that world, and I certainly won't defend that. Alot of that is from the very acquisition you're referring to, so that investment is already paying off. Game Pass is their biggest profit center and the single most profitable gaming business outside of Steam. 2 to 1 consoles sales vs Sony isn't a failure. Especially when you consider that in the US, it's very very close. Selling few consoles in Europe is a failure though. But the industry has changed completely, and boomers need to wake up. Yes, the console is the best place to keep your audience captive, but smell the roses, it's a tiny part of the market now. And MS has transitioned very nicely to multi platform and services which is where the vast majority of the gaming business is. The most important quantity to have is IP. You're seeing that now. Having a console does nothing by itself. People buy games. Games are where revenue and profits are. Sony is a solid 5 or 6 years behind right now. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars on VR3, a PS5 Pro and Portal. None of those can grow their business. But they also spent years of R&D in them instead of cloud, mobile and (quality) acquisitions. Now they are in a permanent disadvantage as MS gobbled up the majority of profitable IPs, is years ahead in cloud, and is about to release a handheld. The question for them is can they manage all of those spinning plates? Historically, no. So it's not all doom and gloom for Sony. They will have opportunities where MS drops the ball. But they need a serious turnaround right now and they don't even have a (PS) CEO yet.

@phbranding8530 extremely good points! I have some remarks though :) : It is very easy to make profits and profit margins appear better than they really are. It is common practice to make every possible trick to bump up margins and profits on your balance sheet to not scare investors. That's even easier when you are part of a colossal structure such as MS where you can bounce around costs and use economy of scale between entities. So margins are not necessarily a measure of success. Regarding Game Pass, there is no doubt that it is successful and profitable but if everything smells like roses as you say, then why take a risk by dividing it into different tiers and bumping up the price? If it is not to try and get more cash in (milking the cows ;) ). When huge investments are made, there is usually a clear plan as to when and more importantly how much it is expected to pay off. From what I can tell MS (meaning the very higher-ups) is getting very impatient and frustrated with Xbox. As for console sales, it doesn't matter if the sales in the US are very very close. The fact is that in the global market as a whole, Xbox hardware is getting its teeth kicked in by Nintendo and Sony. And yes MS is transitioning nicely but the point of my video IS the consoles. And I believe that because MS and Xbox read the market well and early, they are in a position where they can counter Sony and keep the Xbox consoles alive and well. They "just" need to leverage what they already have (services and infrastructure) and learn from the mistakes they made. I still find it unbelievable that they are not leveraging the tight integration with Windows to expand the usage of Xbox series X beyond that of a simple console by making it more open and versatile. Innovate and offer something different from Sony on the hardware like they did with software and services (with Game Pass and cloud gaming). When it comes to IPs, there's no denying that they can be very valuable assets. But as you said, a huge ? as to their ability to maintain so many. Btw I like having discussions like this so subscribe to the channel!

Let's be clear: Xbox market share was *bought,* not earned. Big difference. The only thing helping Xbox now is Sony's incompetence, but given Xbox's record of Destroying studios, it wont surprise me if they still manage to screw this up

@WaynesWorldUnlimited would you mind explaining what the series S does better than the series X? I tested both and so far I feel that the series S is underpowered, overpriced as a result, has too little storage and is only good for indie games and cloud gaming.
