There is a lack of understanding by the general media of what Microsoft is tracking with regards to gaming. Before the Activision acquisition they tracked Game pass performance, now that they own Activision, their top priority is to get as many players as possible playing Xbox franchises. They track monthly active players as a metric of success. They are at 500 million monthly active players And growing. It makes sense considering how much of Xbox is now the games themselves. Priority One is monthly active players, priority two is Game pass, priority 3 is console sales. Both Satya and Phil have said so
problem is like we saw last year with several of the investor call monthly active users does not translate to increase profit as there is a good present that do not buy anything.
@stewarde17 what are you talking about, I literally listened to the investor call. They have record revenue in gaming, and more monthly active players than any other gaming company including Sony and Nintendo. Honestly, it's kind of Genius. They knew they couldn't win the console war, so they changed the rules. Ultimately people forget the reason that these companies sell consoles.... To make money from the games.... Microsoft just decided to start making revenue from every console sold across platforms and not just their own.
@@jbarajasp Yeah forfeiting on "console war" lead to horrible games and horrible leadership practices. There is no Halo or Gears of War equivalent games in Xbox line up. Quality of Xbox games has rapidly declined.
@normaaliihminen722 can you really say that when over at Sony they have gone all in on gotcha games that have either failed or gotten canceled. Billions of dollars going into games like Destiny 2 which has collapsed, Concord which has collapsed, or other live service games that have been canceled like The last of us live service game, the spiderman live service game, the god of war live service game... Etc. even the one hit they had Hell Divers didn't sell well on PS5, it was carried by PC sales.... And then the Sony team took that and spit on the PC players faces by changing their policy after launch and demanding PS login. Lego horizon bombed, Astro was critically acclaimed, but it only sold 1.5m copies. Literally every single decision that Sony has made has failed. So please don't come here and say that Xbox is making bad decisions. Anyway, have a nice day
Hey Jay thanks for all the news you bring us , it is appreciated. I have a question, I'm just a welder buy trade. Not really techy but why with the release of Space Marine 2 would they not figure a way to have the frist one backwards compatible so people could get to play it. I pre-ordered the frist one and loved it. When I frist herd about 2 being done I was so hyped. I don't have a working 360 and they seem hard to really find a good one. It just seems like it's a miss opportunity, thank you once again for all you do . Best wishes to you and your family .
Xbox stopped listening to gamers back in 2013 with the disastrous launch of the Xbox One. They’ve been pushing hard to an all digital scammy future. They want to take away our rights to own our games.
Wait do you work for Sony???? Seems like your Channel does nothing more than cast doubt on Microsoft's future. Very discouraging. I have both consoles and enjoy them both. There are positives and negatives about both. However Sony is catching flak about cancelling several much wanted games. Talk about that
He says this is an Xbox channel at times I don't even know he got like the bottom of the barrel Xbox videos I only watch his videos if it's the last resort if nobody else posts anything
If Microsoft buys anymore studios they should get Ubisoft because I’ve heard they’re doing bad financially and are using low waged countries like the Philippines to employee people and get games made more quickly. Let’s make American great again and actually use creative American minds to create American published games, no offense.
This video makes me want to circle back to the Activision/Blizzard acquisition and the concerns around the cloud based services as it does seem as though the majority of the focus is on cloud gaming and many questions around it make sense now that Xbox is coming on strong with their new "This is a Xbox" Campaign
Subscribed - brand new indie Xbox dev here! So hi, I don't think Xbox is going anywhere for at least next 5 years, which is I believe a decent time frame to not worry about future. As numbers goes, it's a bit awkward that seeing how many of 200M users convert to gamers who checks "New Releases" tab (due to NDA, can't give the numbers but just know that it's crazy low amount). And from page visits to sales ratio is little bit better, but I believe majority of people who visits New Releases and would buy the game saves it for a discount day. Overall, despite sales performance is little bit under what I 'imagined' based on user numbers, I'm just glad to have the opportunity to put my games on so many people (and on Xbox devices - it's THE dream for game devs, being on consoles) and as long as Game Pass caters to Xbox keep breathing, I'll love it
I think the should go back to smaller hardware like from the 90s with transparent shells unique controllers fitting to the game like a Doom double barrel shotgun controller but it all has to be quality and be able to be comfortable and easy to use
People say they buy their games don't need game pass... one of the things that makes game pass great is the fact that I can play these games before dropping 70 bucks on them not knowing if I'll even like the game also I have played so many games on game pass that I honestly would've never purchased outright because i don't wanna drop money on a game I know nothing about and some of those games have ended up being GREAT and all these people that say they buy games but the numbers don't reflect that nobody is buying games according to the numbers goty astrobot was bought by under 3 percent of the Playstation user base none of the big Playstation games even made it to ten percent i don't know the numbers for xbox but I'm willing to bet they're similar so yeah people buy games well at least 3 percent of you do 😂
Gamepass was gold in my opinion when ultimate was $10-12. I don't want to commit to $20 a month though. I'd rather own my games. I am usually patient and get them on sale. I'll use gamepass every now and then just to try out a few games.
So all first party games are now multi-platform and GamePass isn't the future of Xbox? Listen I loved this console series pardoning the Xbox One hiccup at the start, but when can we admit that Microsoft is unwilling to give in the work to make Xbox competitive again? They obviously want to just release the software and the subscription service. That is the future of the brand despite how much I despise it. In the future you can have GamePass or buy digitally on your PC or Sony/Nintendo console.
even if xbox stops making xbox’s we still have over a decade for series, look at xbox one millions still own xbox one and it was released over a decade ago
They should just dump gamepass and focus on games for just one system make one system if you can’t buy right away save up for it buy it on Black Friday but they should just dump the series s and commit to one system makes life a lot more easier at Microsoft I would think I would save up to buy a system that love was put into it. A system solely for the gamers. Stop worrying about PlayStation and make some f…… games worth playing.
For me Xbox isn’t Game Pass… So many try to build the idea that Xbox is Game Pass… But I’ve always viewed it as a perk to Xbox Live. - I personally feel that Xbox should be bolstering their games and give people reasons to play on Xbox. But bringing their games allegedly to PlayStation and Nintendo makes me scratch my head. That seems like a short term solution to a problem. I’d love to see Xbox grow and thrive. As for Nate the Hate… I’m not a fan. I hate game leaks.
I know it's very perplexing to us as consumers. Think of it like this. Microsoft = software / not hardware. No hardware = 3rd party publisher + no physical copies = more money for just uploading digital content to whatever platform. Microsoft doesn't care where you play it... they want money coming from all avenues. If they could've put gamepass on playstation & nintendo they would've of already done it. Instead they had to pivot and partner with smart tv manufacuturers & amazon firestick to bring us the gamepass app without needing an xbox because people aren't running out a buying an xbox. They had to bring the app to the consumer so they can potentially siphon that $20 every months.
@ I’m still buying Xbox and their games. I have a switch and a PS5 Pro. I like both of them but I primarily play on Xbox and use my Xbox for streaming video with all of the tv apps. Xbox is my entertainment hub.
I need to watch ur full video but the full use of assets purchased doesnt happen overnight. Media are always looking for an article to be drama filled. Im not counting this purchase of activision a bad move for microsoft. We will see.
I hope they dont put halo on PlayStation. They dont deserve our games just because they cant make any of their own that catch on. Bs. Idc what ps5 fanboys say. You want to play our games but you have a stick up your butt and dont want to get an Xbox.
Starting to think the best thing to do anymore is to buy a Steam Deck Oled for $900 or so from Best Buy, you can dock it and play via on your 4k tv or Monitor, can buy both PlayStation and Xbox games via the Steam Deck, and dont have to pay a monthly fee like Game Pass or PS Plus.. Just have to come up with $900 or so..Steam Deck is basically a gaming PC when you can dock it and play it on a 4k tv or Monitor.
I think Microsoft is looking at the future. I like that they're doing Multi-platform. They're more than a 3rd party because they make original hardware. Everyone wins if they make their games available everywhere. So I just think Microsoft is thinking in 4D.
GP is a proof of concept level of stability and is established as a standard similar to steam's storefront except as console,it will take an investment of more resources to be on par with steam or others in its prospective industry placing-but opening up more hardware ports can leverage the market share and start to introduce GP as a storefront for gaming variety and versatlity,possibly including a micro-transaction library/catalog options,when it comes to spending -people like options and not as visibly "curated". what remains to be seen is how much microsoft is willing to spend on it's gaming division in the future
the one place Microsoft needs to actively support is Linux. buy since they are stuck sucking down petty cash from unsuspecting grandmas of a horrid operating system means they will absolutely not even begin to think about it. but they'll use it for their servers.
I think XBox should stagger releases if they want to increase subscribers: have Game Pass first releases (1-3 months before it releases on Xbox & PC) and Game Pass only content in some exclusive games.
If they wanted to grow gamepass solely they should've just made everything exclusive, discontinue all physical games, + sell digital only consoles /w 2tb minimum.
We rejected the Xbox One back in 2013 with their disastrous launch. Their no used games, always online and no physical games scam is the main reason why most gamers hate Game Pass.
Best place to play is Playstation ps5 pro 2k cod wwe and gta 6 madden mlb and not forget when the xbox series x came out they did have games like Playstation did demon souls rachet and clank rift apart god of war spider man miles where was the games for xbox i wait
I'm big on owning hard copies over digital copies. Call me old school but I have more freedom with it than the alternative which forces the user not just to have internet or a server pass but now a added monthly fee to play gamepass. It's another way for corperate companies to squeeze money out of the consumer. It might be effective if games weren't so ass
Yes but again you still have to adhere to a set of terms witch states the game can be terminated at any time, owning a game or renting a game does not make you safe, it just means when the game comes to eol you can hang it up in a frame or something 😅
Game Pass is a bad idea. Has been for years now. That said, they are making Future Xbox consoles 💯. They are also going to release some games on multiple platforms. Which makes total business sense.
POR QUE SIEMPRE HABLAS DE LO MISMO? POR QUE TE IMPORTA TANTO LO QUE LA GENTE DICE EN REDES SOCIALES? A TU EDAD DEBERIAS DE ENFOCARTE EN OTRAS COSAS, ME GUSTA TU CANAL Y CREO QUE ERES UN GRAN HOMBRE, PERO ESTE TEMA YA ABURRE, YA ES TIEMPO DE UN NUEVO ENFOQUE
I can't believe this whole acquisition stuff and really what is going on with Xbox Ray but what really outrage is me the most is the way that the graphical detail has been with the consoles and the way that all these games are and the thing is what drives me crazy I play a bunch of games that are supposed to be Xbox series X N S graphical ready for the system I have a TV that basically brings it out but I feel as though that it's still does not show the true graphical detail to the game or the console so
Xbox used to be the console, and they are now clearly redefining 'xbox' to mean something entirely different. The MS console business will come to an end, but they have a bright future as a game publisher, assuming they focus on the quality of the games they release.
They are going to lose a long time Xbox player. I've been with Xbox for 17 years. But the stupid things they are doing specially porting their games to competing consoles and now with the rumor of Halo and Gears. I guess 2025 is the last year for me and Xbox. Sony is doing great and Nintendo also. They have exclusives that keeps their player base coming back and Microsoft is just throwing all their games to the competing consoles no reason to own an Xbox to be honest. I guess it will be cheaper for me because I don't have to own another console and subscription service.
Agreed they shouldn't ass exclusives to other consoles unless we get something in return. There's no reason to have new players come to xbox when all the games are available on almost every platform.
I've been on pc for 17 years now. Pc + switch is where it's at. Or a Steamdeck + switch ^ Pretty much access to 99% of all games. Sony & xbox exclusives + indy game / pc only games + a switch for exclusives.
@@M00NL1GHT-l4-o1o yup they don't value their long time customers. These corporations don't have loyalty for the consumer and so the same goes with me. My subscription of gamepass ends at the end of this year and good-by Xbox and hello steam.
I’ve always viewed Game Pass as a perk to having Xbox Live. It’s cool that it’s included, but It’s not the reason I buy and play Xbox. I buy 99% of my games. I’ve always found it strange that some people think Game Pass is Xbox… I don’t view it that way
As someone who owns both a PS5 and a series x, and has beaten all halo games, I’m stoked to buy and play halo and gears on my ps5 with my dualsense. It makes sense to put those games on other consoles, the more players, the more money they make. Console sales have never been their true money maker, games and gamepass are where it’s at.
I've been a xbox fan for decades I'm absolutely done with them now. they cant make good games and have nothing to offer other than gamepass.... which has no good games...
Yeah i bought a ps5 slim with disc drive in november on black friday in europe for 399€ and end december a xbox series x for 550€. Now i hear xbox games will be aviable later this year on ps5 lol, thanks microsoft
About half of the xbox gamers I personally know have already switched to PS5. An insignificant sample of 6 people, sure, but it definitely is something I never saw happen in 20 years of xbox.
I like how you keep it real and not biased like some other XBox channels. You share your concerns and excitements like a true Xbox’er. Not sounding like a promotion. Hope MS and Phil are watching.
Just become PlayStation guys. We won’t judge u guys. We can all enjoy halo and Xbox games on PlayStation. It’s better for everyone that they start making money before they shut those companies down.
not going happen it goes against playstation business model they want people to buy cod each year. If anything there would be a deal to add a curated list to ps+ extra or premium that only include a part of microsoft catalog.
I highly doubt it. They siphoning mad money off of abk alone. - googled According to current estimates, it could take Microsoft several years to fully recoup the cost of acquiring Activision Blizzard (ABK), with most analysts predicting a timeframe of 5-10 years based on the expected revenue generation from popular franchises like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush Saga, coupled with potential subscription service growth through Game Pass integration
Thanks for what you do. I am sure it’s not easy to report on an industry that changes by the minute. Keep up the good work!

I slowly but surely grew to hate your channel 😂😂
😂😂😂
Same 😂
hahahahahaha you nutter
This has already been debunked by MS yesterday.
Never give up, never back down!
MS should have games exclusive instead of playing nice with order platforms outside of PCft
When are they gonna bring back Halo 3 online for xbox360

Xbox is making a fortune with just Call of Duty alone. Xbox is not going anywhere.
If the games more than a one and done I buy, if not let it stay on gp.
Right off the bat this is already been debunked...this is an old story wtf...
Clicks for a grifter I guess.
It took Insider Gaming 24hrs to update their article with a rebuttal from Microsoft.
Not a good look.

well i dont have an Xbox im on PC i dont get Day one games on game pass, then im cancleing my gamepass ultimate
Gamepass got to expensive. Cancelled 2 months ago. Oh. I also cancelled PS plus.

That article was already debunked by MS
I think the should go back to smaller hardware like from the 90s with transparent shells unique controllers fitting to the game like a Doom double barrel shotgun controller but it all has to be quality and be able to be comfortable and easy to use
Game Pass was a mistake for Xbox.
I totally agree

I actually like that mp was free because then I could get my friends to play halo who dont like to play games with campaigns for some reason
So all I wanna know is free speech coming back to Xbox live ??? Tired of getting banned on some bs

@@theone5404and like 70m of those are on last gen
@@TwpsynMawrout of those 70m how many are paying for Gamepass and still buying games?
yeah I mean they had to redefine it after the Xbox one's horrible start
That’s good!
I don’t care about cod/doom/tony hawk still 3rd party
Idc I can play games on the console 😂 why cry for nothing.
If Xbox stop then go to pc😂 or ps
true. I only want the console to stick around for competition in the market. Other than that... oh well.
They are going to lose a long time Xbox player. I've been with Xbox for 17 years. But the stupid things they are doing specially porting their games to competing consoles and now with the rumor of Halo and Gears. I guess 2025 is the last year for me and Xbox. Sony is doing great and Nintendo also. They have exclusives that keeps their player base coming back and Microsoft is just throwing all their games to the competing consoles no reason to own an Xbox to be honest. I guess it will be cheaper for me because I don't have to own another console and subscription service.
Agreed they shouldn't ass exclusives to other consoles unless we get something in return. There's no reason to have new players come to xbox when all the games are available on almost every platform.
I've been on pc for 17 years now. Pc + switch is where it's at. Or a Steamdeck + switch
^ Pretty much access to 99% of all games.
Sony & xbox exclusives + indy game / pc only games + a switch for exclusives.
Wah wah, damn cry baby.
@@M00NL1GHT-l4-o1o yup they don't value their long time customers. These corporations don't have loyalty for the consumer and so the same goes with me. My subscription of gamepass ends at the end of this year and good-by Xbox and hello steam.
@@b4rs629 the PC community is winning they get Sony and Microsoft exclusives best time to be a PC player.
I love you Ray.
Please keep Going
I buy my games I don’t want or need Game Pass.
I’ve always viewed Game Pass as a perk to having Xbox Live. It’s cool that it’s included, but It’s not the reason I buy and play Xbox. I buy 99% of my games. I’ve always found it strange that some people think Game Pass is Xbox… I don’t view it that way
Than don’t use it, stop shitting on it
@@xNightHawk32Game Pass is officially Xbox.
@ not to me. It’s a subscription service. It’s more or less a perk for the console. It’s part of Xbox, but it isn’t Xbox.
As someone who owns both a PS5 and a series x, and has beaten all halo games, I’m stoked to buy and play halo and gears on my ps5 with my dualsense. It makes sense to put those games on other consoles, the more players, the more money they make. Console sales have never been their true money maker, games and gamepass are where it’s at.
Facts
PlayStation has absolutely nothing. They don't deserve our games just because they have a stick up their butt.
You gotta be a bot.
And why is that? Because I choose to spend my money on games the way I want to?
I've been a xbox fan for decades I'm absolutely done with them now. they cant make good games and have nothing to offer other than gamepass.... which has no good games...
What I need a Xbox 4 again,when I can get everything on PlayStation
Yeah i bought a ps5 slim with disc drive in november on black friday in europe for 399€ and end december a xbox series x for 550€. Now i hear xbox games will be aviable later this year on ps5 lol, thanks microsoft
@@TheUltimateWarrior92sell that Xbox now before it’s almost worthless.
About half of the xbox gamers I personally know have already switched to PS5. An insignificant sample of 6 people, sure, but it definitely is something I never saw happen in 20 years of xbox.
I’d switch to pc full time before going back to a Sony console. …
Don’t be hating on Xbox now!
I like how you keep it real and not biased like some other XBox channels. You share your concerns and excitements like a true Xbox’er. Not sounding like a promotion. Hope MS and Phil are watching.
By regurgitating 'articles' that have been debunked already? Yeah, not biased at all...
My greatest fear for Oblivion is that they will denaturate the original experience…..
That's my fear to.
Just become PlayStation guys. We won’t judge u guys. We can all enjoy halo and Xbox games on PlayStation. It’s better for everyone that they start making money before they shut those companies down.
Yo Ray what's up man
Definitly trained to wait for my gamepass games 🤓🤓🤓😭😭😭
Game Pass Ultimate costs too much. I had it for a couple years then they changed the price and I cancelled it cause it was too expensive.
I mean if you buy 5 games at full price it's $350.
Vs
Gamepass ultimate is $20 a month for 100+ games.
Yo
What
Expect GAMEPASS on Playstation Soon 😂
not going happen it goes against playstation business model they want people to buy cod each year. If anything there would be a deal to add a curated list to ps+ extra or premium that only include a part of microsoft catalog.
lol Gamepass will never be on PS unless MS drops 3rd party day and date on GP
Microsoft wil go belly up real soon due to mis management thanx Spencer for nothing
I highly doubt it. They siphoning mad money off of abk alone.

According to current estimates, it could take Microsoft several years to fully recoup the cost of acquiring Activision Blizzard (ABK), with most analysts predicting a timeframe of 5-10 years based on the expected revenue generation from popular franchises like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush Saga, coupled with potential subscription service growth through Game Pass integration
