Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella just commented about winning back consumers across Windows, Xbox, and more:
"When it comes to our consumer business, we're doing the foundational work required to win back fans and strengthen engagement across Windows, Xbox, Bing, and Edge. In the near term we are focused on fundamentals, prioritizing quality and serving our core users better. You see this in the work underway across our consumer products. With Windows, we recently announced performance improvements for lower memory devices, streamlined the Windows Update experience, and brought back focus to core features and fundamentals that matter most to our customers. And you also see this in Xbox, where the team is recommitting to our core fans and players and shaping the future of play. Last week's Game Pass changes are one example of how we are staying responsive to customer feedback. Monthly Active Windows devices surpassed 1.6 billion... Bing monthly active users reached 1 billion for the first time.
We set new records for monthly Xbox active users in the quarter, as well as game streaming hours. In Microsoft 365 Consumer we have nearly 95 million subscribers."

@Glassdoorgamer @JayDubcity16 @AmericanTimdog Deep down, he knows that'll be the case. Hopefully after he pivots again, gamers just ignore him.

@JayDubcity16 @AmericanTimdog Timdog is going to get kicked in the dick by XBOX again.

@PostUp_SOG Well, it ain't like those games' home console is a healthy and thriving platform lol.

Looking at these numbers is multi platform worth it?

Here's some Xbox games that sold over 100K copies on PlayStation (@alineaanalytics estimates). Thirteen first-party Xbox titles have now cleared the 100K unit milestone on PlayStation. Collectively, they’ve generated $667M in gross revenue for Microsoft, as per our estimates. This analysis doesn’t include Call of Duty. We’ve also excluded titles from acquired studios that were released on PlayStation before Microsoft’s ownership, as well as legacy contractual obligations like Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo. We dive into the list deeper over on our free Substack (link in bio!), but here's a couple of highlights: - Forza Horizon 5, which launched on PS5 last year, three-and-a-half years after the Xbox/PC versions, accounts for almost half of those revenues. That’s $323M via 5.8M copies sold - Sea of Thieves is also doing well on PlayStation. As one of the first titles in the initial porting strategy, it has moved 2.7M copies on the platform and generated nearly $100M there. It's also shown shown impressive long-term retention, bringing in 300K monthly active users (MAUs) on PS5 - Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has moved 537K units on PlayStation 5, generating $37M in revenue roughly one year after its launch. Released on Sony’s hardware just four months after its Xbox debut, the title has already outsold its Steam counterpart. - Meanwhile, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 have both surpassed 250K units on PS5, with each title nearing $20M in PS5 gross revenue, while Starfield sales have continued to trickle in after its tepid PS5 launch a couple of weeks back, now passing 200K.

@theRBMIV @nytimes @TheAthletic We’re apparently the only fan base not allowed to enjoy things 😂 FOH

From @TheAthletic: How does a 6-foot-2 guard with a common man’s body and an old man’s game become an NBA superstar?
It’s going to be very difficult for the Knicks to win it all for the first time since '73. But Jalen Brunson will be the one to lead them. nyti.ms/4d2xF6W

yesterday I reported on GitHub employee concerns about reliability and leadership, and then hours later GitHub suffered a catastrophic outage 😬 theverge.com/news/918001/gi…
Akshat Bubna@akshat_b
Didn't think Github's reliability could get worse, and then they ship a bug that _randomly reverts previously merged commits_. Betting that this caused multiple serious production issues out there.

@alexdobie Windows 11 prior to the annoyances was a good time. Hell, the debloated versions of Windows 11 are very good. Still, Linux is the better approach (esp if you can get VFIO working on QEMU/KVM).

Before Live Tiles or CoPilot or "Microslop," there was Windows 7... 📺👇

@PassiveProphet Probably due to having so a different publisher for each continent and aid publishers being small. It probably didn't sell well either :-/

Hoooooooooow is this game not available on modern console?????

Muramasa: The Demon Blade (2009) draws from kabuki theater, Japanese folklore, Buddhist theology, and the real Muramasa blade legends. Its 108 Demon Blades reference Buddhist cosmology. Originally released for Wii, the 2013 PS Vita port is an enhanced version with retranslated script and four self-contained DLC stories inspired by folklore. Each features a new playable character. I made a short video to showcase Vanillaware’s beautiful work:

@auchenberg It's sad seeing what the software development world is becoming.

GitHub experiencing exponential growth fueled by AI.

Being the foundation for millions of developers means our bar must be higher for availability, reliability, and security. I’m sorry it’s been a rocky stretch at GitHub. We know we need to do better. Today we published an update on two recent incidents: one on April 23 involving merge queue behavior, and one on April 27 affecting pull requests, issues, projects, and search-backed experiences. We’re taking this seriously. We’re listening, and you have my commitment that we’ll communicate more frequently about the work underway to improve reliability and scale GitHub for what comes next. github.blog/news-insights/…

As Xbox's new CEO Asha Sharma begins to win the confidence of fans with big improvements to the platform, one of her former Meta colleagues has sung her praises. 🎮
He says her "absurd amount of drive" is "exactly what Xbox needs."

@JezCorden I swear the Xbox dudes are going to go through this cycle ten more times.

Let's predict: Will Xbox return to "exclusive" games? Will Halo etc. continue to hit PlayStation?
READ: windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/le… 👇
"There's an argument to be made that if Xbox isn't finding new users from the Gen-Z and Alpha cohorts due to Roblox, etc, then it needs to find new money elsewhere, i.e. on PlayStation. But I find that to be reductive. If there's an industry problem all up with console, I don't see why putting games on PlayStation is doing anything other than accelerating the identified problem.
But again, it's a real dilemma ultimately. Microsoft has pushed themselves into a corner by leaning into these trends, and it makes you wonder if its studios can even get the investment they need without PlayStation's install base now."

@Septic_Sauce Exaggerating much. Sometimes you'll get ⬆️, ➡️, ⬇️ or ⬅️ with that. I played completely reasonably.
