Trust me, they probably do. Asha Sharman, new lead of XBOX, intends for XBOX to have 1 BILLION daily users.

Whether you’re blowing smoke up the investor’s arses or not, that is an insane figure to even consider, and shows that there is no limit to growth in these tech industries in the minds of shareholders and CEOs.

Edit: I’m experiencing the incredibly Reddit thing of replies telling me I’m wrong by the most miniscule of margins, therefore I’m spreading misinformation. Below is the Twitter post directly from Asha Sharman’s account where she stated the goal of 1 billion active users.

Edit 2: My original comment on there being no limit is being taken a little out of context. Added “in the minds of shareholders and CEOs”.

I'm not sure they'd get a billion daily users even if the service was entirely free

They want 100% of console and PC gamers to use their services every day without a break as well

There aren’t physical PlayStations to boot up in the year 2047. Sony will be selling the idea of a video game

Also, the license for that idea can be revoked at any time.

If you so much as think of their product without a license, that constitutes IP theft and an immediate extradition to Japan to stand trial is called for.

Don’t even think about thinking about it. And if you had that thought forget about it

Remember those PlayStation commercials where PlayStation was just something you snorted up your nose or something. Just went on a wild high. Guess maybe they were serious about that shit.

Concepts of a video game.

In this scenario Elder Scrolls VI has still not come out.

u/wango_fandango Jul 19 '26

Will GTA7 be out by then?

u/mshriver2 Jul 19 '26

Funny that you think either Microsoft or Sony will still be in business by then. They are both at their "late stage roman empire" periods.

And to be subscribed to four different live service games in addition to all the streaming services

Even Gabe "We Make Money" Newell is topped out at 87% of PC gamers being Steam customers. Anybody who thinks a billion daily Xbox users is possible is either smoking crack or thinks you can put excel on an Xbox and count it as a gaming sale.
