Xbox is in a weird place, that much we all know.
The console war is officially over.
Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus have already reached"maturity," says MIDiA, which puts a pretty hard cap on further growth.
Microsoft has capitulated to PlayStation, and has begunshipping core exclusive franchises like Forza Horizononto its arch console rival.
Although, being real, that latter point was always true.
That doesn’t mean Xbox doesn’t still have a future in hardware, though.
Grand Theft Auto 6 could’ve been the system seller Xbox needed.
To that end, Xbox has a unique opportunity to anchor itself in that growth.
Meanwhile, Xbox was down 29%.
“In terms of business growth, however, Elliott says this fact doesn’t matter.
“Like Rockstars other flagship titles, GTA 6 will hit PlayStation and Xbox before it hits PC.
It is worth noting that PlayStation would very much want the same thing to happen with GTA 6.
Thats why I reckon PlayStation will get the rights.”
In a recent interview,Xbox lead Phil Spencer said he wants Xbox hardware to win on differentiation.
