Metro writes "Beyond Europe, there have been concerns around Xbox stock in other territories. In October, Microsoft gave a very vague answer when addressing reports of Xbox pulling out of Saudi Arabia, while restocks in India have reportedly been delayed until March next year.
Even if this is a temporary hitch, Xbox’s lack of presence in these territories doesn’t bode well for its future hardware plans, or if it simply wants to exist as a brand on other platforms."
The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.
What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.
So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.
Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in
And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards
They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC
but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR
F1 25 promises improved handling, a long-overdue My Team overhaul and a new Braking Point story with a dramatic twist. But is it a worthy yearly upgrade? Yes, it actually is this time.

Both can be true. They're claiming that high customer demand is the reason for the outage. However, we do know that XBox sales have been slowing down by alot in these countries in the last year or more. More than likely, Microsoft had already pulled back on stock numbers here a while back, but now that the Holidays are here, there is a bigger demand on a smaller stock. So "technically" there is a higher demand, but that doesn't necessarily equate to high sales numbers. If a store has only 20 units, it's pretty easy to sell out of 20 units.
I also think it's dead in Brazil; basically, no official retailer has it in stock. You can still find it through third-party sellers, but at a pretty marked-up price. Which is sort of sad, given that Microsoft had, at one point, good control of that market.
I feel bad for the people that keep falling for MS’s exaggerated promises each generation. They sure make a shiny presentation at the beginning of each generation.
Hi demand my follically dense buttocks. XBOX Series have never historically sold well anywhere in Europe. Poland traditionally has always been PC and PlayStation land. Unless they counting eveything as XBOX as per their latest marketing schlep.
Given how the Xbox is being outsold 3:1 by PlayStation in the US, it's strongest territory, it might as well quit Europe.
