Mind you the way some of these articles sound is that the whole Xbox gaming division is on its knees and doesn’t sell a machine or make a penny.

It does feel like they're using excessively narrow defintions and picking facts to create the narrative they want.

Okay, the smaller of Microsoft's gaming platforms isn't selling as well as the PS5, while the other one is growing so fast even Sony is porting all of their exclusive games to it.

Doesn't really feel like a complete market failure to me?

This article does smell of console war nonsense.

What @NOT_RICK@lemmy.world said. Console war nonsense. Any excuse to make it look like one side is winning or whatnot but then again it made people click on the article and see the adverts which apparently is all it takes these days to churn out BS articles.
