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.
I’m not surprised MS owns the dogshit company that tried to sue any game with the word “saga” in its title
This tells me that Xbox is trying to pivot to mobile games.
You guys have phones right?
I don’t think there’s any way this works out AND Xbox lives. I do remember my old Windows Phone with my little Xbox avatar guy waving to me as I open sudoku. I guess that’s what Xbox becomes.
But I don’t know this’ll work.
I guess you have to look if LoL Wild Rift was a success, because that would be the closest thing to a template for this.
They’ve had such massive luck in the mobile market before what with zune and windows phone :P third times a charm I suppose. I dunno, to me this company has no personality so it will be difficult in this market
They want 12.5% of the world’s population to play xbox every day.
It’s pure delusion. AI psychosis, probably.
They’re making mojang and king report directly to her, so yeah they’re going after the casual market
Still delusional lol
shes there to probably close down xbox.
There are nowhere near this many gamers on the planet. And since you guys (big tech) are literally buying up all the RAM there is you can’t even make new gamers because no one has any fucking money.
I also don’t have a lot of money for fun because no one is hiring because all the psychotic C-suite think AI is going to replace everyone. Or they think they can just squeeze labor harder and use AI as an excuse.
But either way, fuck Microsoft.
Totally man. Whole world is trying to squeeze blood from stone and literally everyone has no fucking money for anything.
It’s beyond insanity.
that’s one eight of the earth’s population, all playing xbox on the same day
it’s meaningless ceospeak to make investors salivate. this will not happen.
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.
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.
This is an absurd number.
I hate how people just say random stuff that they think sounds good and no one questions it anymore because it fulfils their financial fantasy.
And stocks go up on the BS and never crash because it was wrong.
The quote is
I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect
Are they moving into other forms of entertainment like web, or media?
Those are already on the Xbox. It is a full media player. My kids rarely play games. But they watch Netflix and YouTube for hours.
Microsoft axed their video and music streaming a while ago. I doubt they’ll try and revive it.
Netflix. YouTube, most any other app is available.
Yes, on their hardware and through their store fronts, but I meant their own streaming services (other than games streaming).
That’s not what they are talking about though
…or porn?
Will it run edge?
It’s not about Xbox the console, it’s about Xbox the company/service
Growth while laying people off like stupid. How is that supposed to work?
Don’t worry, with cloud, I mean, blockchain, I mean, AI, it’ll all be possible.
How, you ask? - How dare you doubt our glorious vision for the future!
She wants to go mobile. That’s the only way to get those numbers.
“Do you guys not have phones?” - Blizzard in 2018 to a crowd of PC enthusiasts after selling PC games for nearly 30 years at the time.
I just don’t think you can add mobile to an existing platform lile PC or Console. You are marketing to other demographics… the ones that dont play PC and Console games…
I knew an ai ceo was gonna start pulling some absolute bullshit as soon as they gained command smh
Is she pulling that number out of her ass? Steam can’t even get 50M per average days let alone 1000M
It’s ok guys, Copilot Gamer Agents will make up the population difference /s
