it’s insane how this one event and moment in time caused so much damage to the perception of Xbox that it has NEVER recovered since. Ofc other factors have held Xbox down since but this handed Playstation an open goal and they weren’t missing.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

Well the wild thing that they were right. Not about everything, but about most of the stuff they were talking about in 2013. They got clowned for talking about tv so much, but in 2025 I can guarantee that you're watching most of your entertainment through a video game console. TV shows, live events and movies all on your PS or Xbox, but they got clowned. Also going digital. They got clowned for that, but PS put out a digital only PS5 years later and nobody clowned them. I can't remember the last time I bought a physical disk. It's just so much easier heading to my library and simply playing the game I want. Xbox knew this would be the case more than a decade ago. And let's not get started on internet. They got clowned for wanting ppl with internet access to buy the Xbox One, but there's nobody gaming today who doesn't have at least a solid connection.

[@yourfavoritespoon9958]

Till this day I’m curious why would they make a “game console” into focusing on TV and movies

[@PLAYER_42069]

At the time, the industry thought mobile gaming (due to microtransactions) was going to surpass PC and console gaming. So, XB1 was designed to capitalize on cloud gaming... That still hasn't fully materialized... That would provide a more mobile-like gaming experience and doesn't require a lot of processing power. That's one reason why the XB1 had such weak hardware even back then. Thus, the focus was more on a giant phone-like device where consumers could game, watch movies & TV and listen to music. This idea is something MS had since the '90s, but it's always been too ahead of its time, ironically, or badly executed like the XB1.

This video doesn't do the cataclysmic catastrophe of Xbox One's 2013 reveal. It was much, much more far reaching than just internet and E3 reactions, Microsoft stock took a nosedive that day. Xbox One's demise was further compounded by their continuous exclusive failures. When Horizon Zero Dawn came out on the PS4 in 2017 and Breath of the Wild releasing alongside the Switch - both receiving massive acclaim - it was officially *f***ing over for Xbox One* 10 years later now that we know for certain per NPD sales records of the X1 not even surpassing 50 million total units sold as opposed to PS4 selling 116 million units - the Xbox One was a complete failure.

Here’s my hot take - Sony was prepared to include the camera as part of the PS4 package and likely planned to price PS4 at or close to the One’s price (maybe a little less, considering that the PS4 camera ended up selling for $59.99). IIRC, their E3 presentation was 21 hours after Xbox’s. Being 5 months out, it gave them time to exclude the camera and announce the $399.99 price tag, not to mention produce the “Sharing Games” video… Don’t think that they didn’t have a similar strategy! What they DID have was time to backpedal privately after seeing the reaction. Xbox’s biggest mistake was not reacting more vigorously to the negative feedback.

Don Mattrick has been gone nearly 10 years. Time for some 1st party critically acclaimed games.

[@JesseWhiteman117]

We also remember how you guys at IGN slandered the Xbox One whenever something positive came out of it.

Windows 10 sealed the fate for Xbox. With Microsoft moving "exclusives" to the PC platform, the incentive to own an Xbox (the games) left.

Microsoft dropped the ball on this one. Glad I'm not a die hard Xbox fan.

Don Mattrick was the worst thing that could have happened to the XBox One.

[@MrML4L]

Sony actually looks like more of a bully back then.

[@TheWheelman298]

the spent the prior generation getting beaten by microsoft, they had a chance to take a big lead and took it.

Why do we fall Bruce?

you think that hole he fell into would have been just chalk full of spiders

Xbox Tv could work today, but the focus of Xbox will always be Games and Game Pass. Perhaps Microsoft needs to make sub divisions for their TV ambitions.. The same with their Kinect games.. I'm more then happy that Xbox Series X and S has avoided Xbox One nightmare. But now Xbox needs AAA inhouse studio releases. If Xbox pulls that off, then Xbox is finally back in business as a console manufacturer and Game Pass service provide.

greg miller, peter molyneux and donn mattrick. these were thought times :D

Killer instinct goated thooo

Buyings games online was sort of standardized from the PS3/xbox360 generation tbh

Sony ruined the game sharing family with their video That literally stifled gaming since. No one shares games anymore. The games aren't even on the disk. They just found a way to tank a great idea.

Xbox 360!,my favorite Xbox of all time!

[@glenn3646]

for that time it was one word DISASTER

This video really does make the chain of events look less worse than it was. - Xbox had every opportunity between their initial reveal and E3 presser, to fully walk back their “always online” requirement in definitive clear terms. They never did. - Even after the Xbox E3 press event and being gutted by Sony’s E3 press event later that day. Interviewers tried to get direct answers about always online from both Mattrick and even Major Nelson. Neither clearly disputed the claims and Mattrick then had his disastrous “Well we have a product for offline players, it’s Xbox 360.” in front of Geoff Keighley. It was the quote that went around the world. - Truth is, Xbox had a nightmare of an E3 week with damaging quotes and incomplete answers. Also, I’m shocked this video also does not even mention the cloud processed games feature that current Stadia head Phil Harrison was in charge of. The Xbox One was another failure assisted by Harrison and he couldn’t definitely answer how cloud processing would work at the time.
