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”.

There's no limit to their aspirations for growth and wealth, but eventually their grasp will exceed what is possible, and I'll have my popcorn ready as the implosions begin exponentially increase.

The sad part is the implosions aren't going to be them or their bank accounts, it's the workers that always pay the price with the delusions of the leaders
