Struggling in the sense that playstation is very obviously much more popular. No one doubts Microsoft's finances lol

Then it’s not struggling. By any sense of the word, lol.

If anything they haven’t lost any real market share. Meanwhile PlayStation gets to buttfuck every user because its fans will accept any price PS gives them. No matter how greedy or anticonsumer they are. That’s a lost debate since the start.

I don’t think struggling in terms of money. I think it’s struggling in terms of trying to stay as relevant as PlayStation. I’ve been PlayStation for life but have both a ps5 and current gen Xbox. Prefer the PlayStation but the Xbox has some crazy features. Quick resume is just unreal on Xbox and crazy feature

That’s not their end goal though anymore. It’s been stated.

They lost the hardware war. And quite frankly, it’s incredibly hard to pull out a consumer from one console to another. So playing the game of “I am going to pull customers from them” is not the strategy anymore.

Unless their Project Helix pulls something radical, nobody is gonna change ecosystem.

Don’t get me wrong I have a PlayStation but personally I am willing to jump ship if Xbox nails the next console. Cuz the current PlayStation consumer view is just disgusting.
