I lol'd when I thought to my self "... And when the fuck does the next one even come out!?"

But then I thought about it and 2023 might be a good year for MS. IF Starfield lives up to the hype, IF Forza shows some real evolution, and then add in Stalker 2 and Redfall... and they just might have a decent year. But for those keeping up will notice that is three FPS and one racer... not the most diverse lineup.


So MS really needs to land the ABK deal so they can add Diablo IV to that list to give them a bit of variety (Plus whatever Activision has coming next year)

Serious question: Are you autistic?

im damn well certain you are wee lad

The whole debate is about Xbox as an ecosystem, for which Phil Spencer has done a tremendous job. Yet you keep bringing up the console only as if it matters. It doesn't. Xbox as a console is one, low-cost entry point for the Xbox ecosystem.

Again: Lot of "me" in your posting.

phil Spenser did not do a good job with the soybox. answer why it's sales are behind everyone else's. wonder How long gamepass will be around? Not for much longer honestly. It Doesn't benefit the 3rd party that well. they'll suffer. Maybe we'll see a shift away from the consoles in the future idk.

Xbox is the most successful it has ever been. The numbers speak for themselves.

80+ million xbox 360's sold, despite it being the second console for microsoft AND the bad PR they had with the RROD vs 60 million sales across 5 consoles?

They've sold fewer games than ever. Halo has the smallest player base it has ever had. Fewer people log on to Xbox Live than they did 10 years ago, despite the increase the amount of gamers in the industry?

Sure pal, those numbers speak for themselves.

Just comparing the launch of Halo 2 and 3 to 5 and Infinity says it all.

 

[regawdless]

I had Gamepass on PC for 1€ per month.

Tried their exciting exclusives and noped out pretty quickly. Not my thing.

They do have some interesting games on the horizon, like Hellblade 2. But those games have been announced years ago and are MIA. There are reasons they were willing to put down so much money to buy Bethesda and Activision.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

80+ million xbox 360's sold

Series is currently outselling 360.

They've sold fewer games than ever.

Doesn't matter, Xbox currently has 3x more revenue compared to peak Xbox 360 times.

Halo has the smallest player base it has ever had.

Halo is only a tiny part of Xbox now. Has almost zero impact on the success of the console.

Fewer people log on to Xbox Live than they did 10 years ago, despite the increase the amount of gamers in the industry?

They do indeed.

Revenue is not profit

It does matter, seems as Halo launched 2 consoles.

those same sources you get your numbers from

They do indeed.

No it's not.

Satya Nadella confirmed it (again) just five days ago.

Revenue is not profit

You don't know the profit margin. Weird cope.

No it doesn't matter, seeing how Series is the fastest selling Xbox ever and Xbox is doing record revenues basically every year.

those same sources you get your numbers from

Weird cope again.

 

[Nicktendo]

Just 10 short years ago I was spending $100 million and making $350 million.

But now I'm spending $10.5 billion and making $2 billion.

Don't worry boys, revenue is UP more than 500%!

There's a part of me that absolutely loves shit-talking the Xbox brand, but it's really not being done in a serious way. I'm just having fun. I loved the original Xbox and the 360 was cool for a few years (minus the shoddy hardware).

But this recent "throw massive amounts of our assets around to just take all that which we couldn't figure out how to create ourselves" strategy is very worrying for us as consumers. It's a shame that tunnel-visioned fans can't see the bleak future Microsoft is trying to force on our favorite hobby.

The bleak future of *checks notes* paying a small monthly fee for a large catalogue of great games?

Btw, Playstation has already done a 180 on their old strategy, a lot of boomers just don't seem to notice. And even Nintendo is slowly pivoting. The future is now, old man.

If you think the "small monthly fee" is what you'll continue paying in the future, then you are exactly who I am referencing when I mentioned fans with tunnel vision.

Some people see more than one step ahead and you don't even know there are steps.

 

[Nicktendo]

Microsoft so confident in their grand strategy they stopped publishing the numbers.

Competition on suicide watch.

Nintendo and Sony: Nooooo I'm pivooooooting!!!

Yes he is, but indirectly.

Farts sits at home all day and collects his dole money.
Microsoft pays some (maybe) taxes in Germany.
This money filters through the system to fund Farts's existence and GayPass subscription.
Farts is being paid by Microsoft to sit at home and consume product.

We've sold more Xbox Series S and Series X consoles life-to-date than any previous generation of Xbox

Sales are consoles sold to shops, not to final customers. This was changed late in the 360 gen.

I never mentioned profits.

Revenue means shit without profit

You autistic autist just choose a goal that nobody ever had and claim that Spencer was shit at achieving YOUR desired goal. That's just super dumb. Like, dumb dumb. You are dumb. I want the message to get across: You are very, very dumb. Did you understand that?

And yes, I'm being paid 10 trillion dollars per year by MS.

Doing such a good job Halo was delayed and still missing features. Starfield delayed a year. Fable, Hellblade 2, outer worlds 2 MIA

Proper good job. You can shit sling and call me dumb but everyone can see how bad Spencer is for xbox.

Maybe we should each say something nice about each other's consoles. I'll start.

I really like the green circle optical illusion going on with the top grille of the XSX.

I've no interest in playing the games mentioned in your post.

But delays are not necessarily always a bad thing, given other possible outcomes (bodged software, outright cancellations etc.)

And a release delay is not a decision made lightly.

And whilst Spencer isn't likely to be instrumental in any of these delays, as head of the brand, yes, he rightly receives criticism.

As quoted by Satya in your own link: "We've sold more Xbox Series S and Series X consoles life-to-date than any previous generation of Xbox"

It's the same console family. Just like how PS4 and PS4 Pro are counted together. Or all the Switch variants. You need to find a new way to cope.

 

[QuantumZebra]

That ship has sailed last gen when both Sony and Microsoft decided that consoles should simply be mid-tier PCs.

Really? Consoles have always been "mid-tier" PCs but with a tailored experience and features for the games they will support (Switch, PSVR/Motion, etc.).

At this juncture it has only been Xbox whom have released a legitimate "PC but a console" for years now. The 360 was the last console they put out that offered anything compelling/not available on PC.
