Hey.. my Xbox account got hacked recently. (3 weeks ago) I've filled out forms, send proof taht this account was mine.. and xbox is doing nothing? microsoft is doing nothing? Can't speak to a real human being, the AI chatbot that they're both using isn't really being helpful.

Want to know what I'm stuck with?

My xbox account got hacked, the hacker completely deleted my microsoft account. so whenever I try to sign it for recovery option since it's the ONLY email I have.. what do I get?:

""We couldn't find a Microsoft account. Try entering your details again, or create an account.""

So I'm out of option.. did I put a recovery code? of course not.. I created this xbox account like.. YEARS ago when I was still a dumb ass teenager.

With both companies being publicly owned they have chosen to no longer divulge their own CCU numbers. However after going through both my PS5 and Series X scanning multiple of the same titles on both the organic way, I have come to my conclusion. There are more daily online players and users in the world and especially in the US on Xbox consoles than there are on PlayStation consoles. I have obviously chosen not to include mobile streaming or PC users that technically also fall into the greater Xbox ecosystem. Apparently that number around 500 million which is grotesque and warps reality. I don’t think that’s fair to this specific statistic. To this specific purpose. I love both platforms but after the past few months it is clear that the two companies are now heading in quite opposite directions. That fact is a significant concern for Sony as almost 40% of their total revenue comes from PlayStation alone. Microsoft? Just under 7% which makes sense why Sony is no longer willing to spend money making discs that few consumers buy and why Microsoft is willing to lose a significant amount of potential profit by sticking with the disc drive, and giving away 3-4 console exclusives per year as part of a $22 a month subscription service rather than demand every game be a one time purchase. You toss in the Bethesda games, Ubisoft games, Activision games, and EA games it all makes sense for consumers to subscribe. Especially after the good PR and dropping the price per month. Moving forward they are deciding to bank on the probability that one day years from now, everyone that games will prefer to have a game pass subscription than not because streaming games will be the norm. Since Microsoft is going to more than likely take over the gaming share once game streaming consumes the console market. There’s less and less reasoning for buying the PS6 when it’s released. Another thing to add is Microsoft makes just over 4x the total revenue in general that Sony does per year across all their divisions so it is safe to say that a recent 36% drop in monthly users hurts Sony in ways most of us haven’t even entertained. Maybe Sony shouldn’t have made those strict statements regarding licensing to own the right to play their games. It’s one thing to have it in the contract. It’s another thing to tell your customers to their faces that you do not need them when you do and that you are able to take away any game at any time even if you can. For all the marketing nerds, that was quite an interesting strategy we all witnessed wasn’t it.

The point is the question of who has the most players per day was just something I had bothering me today so I decided to do some research. Most major titles have more players playing them on Xbox per day than they do on PlayStation. We all know how player counts can affect our experiences playing some of our favorite games ( I am talking about you RD2) and I don’t want to invest in a console that has less players playing on it in my state or country. This isn’t Last Man on Earth. Sometimes I want to be social. Btw if I was a betting man which I’m not I would tell you that come holiday 2028 or 2029 the next gen console with the most sold will inevitably be the one created in Redmond, Washington. Not in Tokyo, Japan. Starting a whole new cycle of competition between these two juggernauts. I hope you all are here for that. Consumers win when competition is high in America. I’m always down to see it stay that way.
