Reportedly, some third-party video game publishers aren’t sure why they should keep making and supporting games for Xbox consoles due to poor sales in Europe.

I find poor sales hard to believe taking into account the pandemic and supply chain issues both consoles faced for a couple years.

PS5 has sold double the units of xbox series S https://www.vgchartz.com/article/460059/ps5-vs-xbox-series-xs-sales-comparison-january-2024/

PS5 also costs 25% more, so it's not selling more because it's cheaper. It's just better and has better games. I'm not sure why that's hard for you to believe.

I wasn’t saying that playstation hasn’t sold more consoles. I also not arguing that it doesn’t have better games. It does, Microsoft is very clearly dropping the ball even after they acquired as many heavy hitters as they did. My biggest regret this generation was switching to a Series X from the PS4 instead of either tossing money at a PC or picking up the PS5.

What I’m surprised by is that the conditions when consoles have had didn’t seem to be taken into effect.
