Wait... shouldn't Xbox be in the lead?
My PS5, Switch and Xbox are all an Xbox
I don't understand your sentence... if the xbox is on your PS5 and Switch how can it count for a sale with your PS5 and Switch? In terms of consoles yes they are lagging behind, but in terms of benefits I think they must be in the lead right?
This (referring to PS5 and NSW) is an Xbox. Since PS5 and NSW have sold a combined >200mil, then technically XBSX is already well past 220mil. (It's funny how inconsistent ppl are on this site lol. They all talk about NSW selling so well, when XBSX has cruised right past PS2 within only a few years.)
It is from zhe ad campaign, where everything "becomes/is" an xbox.
OK thanks !
Tell me again why anyone thinks an Xbox handheld in 3 years from now will save the brand?
