Everything with these fucking CEOs is about “a billion people” or “a billion dollars”.
I knew an ai ceo was gonna start pulling some absolute bullshit as soon as they gained command smh
Microsoft is high on it’s own supply. The leadership is so out of touch with its customers that I can’t wait to watch them hit bottom.
What’s dumber than CEOs making these predictions, is people thinking the CEO actually believes it’s possible.
They’re just saying what share holders want to hear, that’s all this is.
They say this at the same time as they are dropping a bunch of developers and saying they are focusing on AAA titles. What the hell does this company want? If you want billions of people, you want the casual market. Do they have some kind of sci fi dream of everyone on the planet playing some mega MMO? It’s not going to happen
You get a billion users on FarmVille type shit.
Why? You can put FarmVille in a browser or phone in front of a billion users.
They’re going to need to sell a lot of X boxes to get AAA size games in front of people.
The math does not even work with casual mobile games: MS owns King and hence Candy Crush, one of the most popular casual mobile games ever. At its peak Candy Crush had 293 million active monthly (!) players. So even if one is generous, those numbers comes down to some 10 million daily user. They want games that are the equivalent of 100 Candy Crush-es. It is pure folly.
Ew. I just imagined what a Microsoft MMO would be like and it wasn’t Flight Sim.
Well, you’ll get a copilot in the game so technically it could be a Flight Sim.
They’re making mojang and king report directly to her, so yeah they’re going after the casual market
Still delusional lol
Following the tech CEO tradition of grossly exaggerating what is even conceivably possible and hoping hype is enough to get investors, bonuses and a golden parachute.
It’s ok guys, Copilot Gamer Agents will make up the population difference /s
So Netflix most popular movie of all times KPop Demon Hunters have 325M views. That’s most popular paid platform.
Playstation that have 45% of console market have roughly 132M monthly active user accounts.source https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular

So she’s aiming at xbox Solitaire and FreeCell or talking about going mobile.
You first have to make your platform appealing to everyone, not just the select few and you have been failing in that department for decades.
She’s not a gamer so how could she draw so many people if you have no idea what to offer them.
Consoles have become a financial sinkhole that steals not just your money but your content, so if you are still stupid enough to fall into that trap then you don’t deserve sympathy later when it inevitably happens.

Sounds like they’re trying to get into the Chinese market then?
Or mobile gaming? But they already own Candy Crush.
“That’s why we are pleased to announce Wukong Black Myth 2 as an Xbox exclusive.”
Sure, nothing in there sounds like AI psychosis or shitty marketing directed at investors and certainly not the people who actually play video games and know its scene…
God, who could have predicted that Microsoft’s fall would be so long and sloppy? And in the name of fucking what are they just killing studios after studios? Do they think AI will make their big games played by billions of people? Who are those fucktards, really? How fucking lost are they?
That’s what I call the 'Reverse Dr. Evil" math.
Idk man, Zynga alone gets them in spitting distance
You’re not “expanding your consciousness beyond the stars”, bro… aliens want to play Xbox so they are totally part of the addressable market, for the purposes of stock valuation.
