The Deserved Downfall of Xbox

The Xbox brand has been the butt of the joke for the longest time. With many people claiming that the Xbox platform has no games & that Microsoft is incredibly out of touch with their consumers. After the recent announcement that Microsoft has closed the developer Tango Gameworks, the development team behind the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush, many people have now declared it to be the beginning of the end for Xbox. Join me as we take a look at the many issues going on with the Xbox brand, and take a look as to why the xbox brand is now beyond saving

This video is like a month late, which is why there may be some things in this video that may have aged a bit poorly now. Nevertheless, I felt like I still had enough good things to say in this video to make it worth uploading. So I hope you still enjoy the video regardless. As I stated at the end of the video, I'm going to step away from making these type of doomer "modern gaming bad" videos & go back to making more or less the same style of videos, but for topics about Nintendo. I personally get a lot more enjoyment & fulfillment from making those videos than I do with these types of videos. Anyways yeah, thanks for being cool, see ya in the next video! :P

[@andrewsqual]

There is nothing late man. What, just because 2 weeks ago Xbox did a showcase where they confirmed that a bunch of their 2020 announced games are............ still coming with no release dates, happened? State of Decay 3 got another 100% outsourced CG trailer........ FOUR YEARS LATER after its reveal. Xbox fans are simply coming off their usual Xbox showcase high right about now. They are realising about now that they are in the exact same place they were a month ago like I said above........... there are games..... from 2020..... and they are coming....... at some point.... just wait wait wait wait wait. But the ONE new detail was that lord and savior Phil himself confirmed that more games are going multiplatform........ right after the showcase where for the first time ever in a decade they didn't say "CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE" after a single game that was shown. Nah, that's just a coincidence.

It should be mentioned that the ps5, the xbox, and the nintendo are all selling their console at likely losses to the parent companies, and all get their revenue through peripherals and games, which is why launching games on gamepass is so bad for buisness

[@heronik79]

You said that those corporation get money from hardware sells, it's not true. Reason why those consoles are "cheap" is because they are always sold with a loss and then when you get into their closed system, they can charge you whatever they want, put behind a paywall whatever they want, that's how they get the money from games and subscriptions and why everyone gets easly fucked, cause they can't do shit, it's closed. The only one i could think is even close to selling consoles without a loss is Nintendo but maybe even Switch is with a loss... 100% not even close as much as Sony and Microsoft lose but still

[@captaindestruction9332]

Depends on the console, point in a consoles lifecycle etc. A company like Nintendo made profit day one on hardware sales, if not then within the first year. Most companies do eventually start making a profit off of hardware sales. We are probably at the point were both PS5 and Xbox Series, especially Series S are making these companies some kind of profit with each console sold.

[@Sussy6_9Baka]

Let me tell you one of the reasons why XBOX is in such a difficult position: They mostly release their games on both the console and "the PC", for me not making their games exclusive to only their console unlike their competitors is a big L move...

[@texassherman7093]

Most PC gamers run windows which is owned by Xbox’s parent company, Microsoft. Also please don’t suggest that Xbox should make more of their games exclusive, it might be good for their revenue but it’s so bad for the industry and consumer. Less exclusives means more people can play more games.

[@V3ntilator]

Microsoft made PC games for almost 50 years, so of course they can't ditch PC. MS even made PC exclusives during Xbox/360/One generation. MS made PC Games over 23 years before Xbox even existed and those were never remade for Xbox besides Motocross Madness. Also. Microsoft's Age of Empires were PC exclusive for over 20 years, until last year or so. Flight Simulator were a PC exclusive for 40 years. Oldest game franchise on the planet. 42 year old.

[@andrewsqual]

So true. I feel like I was the only one asking in early 2020 how well the "series x" at the time was going to sell when it launches, when ALL OF ITS GAMES FROM DAY ONE ON, are available, BETTER, on PC. I thought it would no doubt hurt the console just like Xbone sales practically came to a halt around 2016 when everything went to PC compared to how it was selling the first 3 years before that.

[@V3ntilator]

@@andrewsqual PC are starting to hurt Sony consoles too as majority of games are ported with new PC exclusive features like 31:9, Full Ray Tracing etc. which PS5 can't handle on top of unlimited frame rate. Sony is known to be a sloppy company doing half-assed efforts, but damn they are not sloppy with most PC ports. This is why they bought Nixxes to make sure the PC ports are upgraded and please PC Gamers. As you know PC plays all Series X games and almost all PS5 exclusives, and a lot of PS4 exclusives as remasters. 100% of games on PC runs at minimum 60 FPS too, unlike on consoles. Why even bother with consoles?

[@Joe-ti7qd]

No reason to own any console other than you can only afford a console. Pc is the way.

[@stasing_0718]

Even though PlayStation has its own problems to solve, at least the PS5 is still selling well and PlayStation as a brand is still popular. While the Xbox Series X hasn't been selling the best and and Xbox has been relying way more on Gamepass then providing great exclusives for their console. The Gamepass strategy, that they have been focusing on recently, isn't sustainable.

[@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005]

Microsoft has said multiple times that gamepass is profitable they profit off of it on Xbox, PC and I think on Mobile as well your so narrow minded also PS is losing money as well their strategy of paying for timed exclusives isn't working and companies like Square are dropping them

Valve is literally the clear winner of this generation of gaming with the steam store and the steam deck because most of the popular games from PlayStation and Xbox get released on pc which then get released on steam which THEN gets released on the steam deck

[@andrewsqual]

Every..... single..... Xbox..... game comes to PC since 2016 and to Steam day one since 2019 starting with Gears 5. Some even come to PC before Xbox consoles themselves like Flight Simulator and Age of Empires. But that is true, Valve getting that sweet 30% in sales. Its a shame PlayStation single player games don't sell 3 million in 3 days on Steam though. They would be lucky to get that in 5 years lol.

[@Schloopytoober]

@@andrewsqual true. I get that Microsoft is foremost a pc company but putting ALL OF THEIR GAMES ON PC shoots the Xbox in its foot. The reason people buy consoles is Exclusivity Price Performance The newest Xbox series x is 600 or 700 bucks which is already more expensive then the steam deck or any mid lvl pc / laptop. High end pcs perform better than the Xbox, and we don’t even talk about exclusivity…. I think there’ll be one more generation of Xbox consoles and then Microsoft will cut production which is sad but honestly deserved since they are terrible at making compelling consoles now

@@1moblin2 who was talking about Japanese games???? And do u have a source for those statistics? Look,i understand the appeal of a ps5 or consoles in general. But With the new consoles in this generation it’s a lot more expensive then either buying a switch or getting a steam deck considering for the steam deck even though the upfront price is the same, all the extra stuff like the games, extra controllers, accessories, and usually having to buy an ssd card for extra storage, it’s alot better to buy a steam deck to play those same games for less. Not saying the consoles themselves are bad, but there’s no point in buying them

In all honestly, GAMERS, and i really mean GAMERS, people that play games, really REALLY need to step away from social media or at least not let it affect their hobby, PLAYING GAMES!!! Dude, at this point, theres so many games that came out and i bet a lot of gamers, myself included, that missed out on certain games and didnt play them. Instead of people worrying about what the entire company is doing, i wish people would just go back to enjoying themselves because thats what games are for! To help escape reality. Same for movies and shows, so many people just critique nonstop about E V E R Y T H I N G. And it honestly pisses ne off because the general public masses will never know the developers personally. We need to stop trying to get sooooo attached to everything. But idk im pretty sure im gonna get bashed for saying i dont care for other's wellbeing or some shit. But honestly, a lot of people today, not just me, have so much shit theyre already dealing with. Why the fuck are people stressing themselves about the decisions companies make. Just go home, play games, and relax ffs!! I got so much stress in my life that i dont need to worry about a developer that made 1 ONE O N E game that a lot of people praised.

[@HyperSonicX]

There is one Xbox exclusive worth buying this gen that you cannot get anywhere else. Sonic Unleashed at a smooth 60 fps. Sonic Unleashed was released on the PS3 and 360 but terribly optimised and very taxing on the systems so the framerate (capped at 30 fps on 360 and 60 fps on PS3) is pretty poor and inconsistent. Playing it on Xbox One through backwards compatibility doesn't fully fix the framerate, and the game never got a PC port. But the Xbox Series S and X finally have the power to play it properly, and thanks to the Boost option they added you can FINALLY play Sonic Unleashed at a silky smooth 60 fps.

As much as it pained me back in the day not being able to play any game on the console of my choice (as a PS player, I really wanted Gears of War and Forza, and God, did I want to play Mario games on my PlayStation), exclusive games were some of the best in the world because they needed to be good to draw people to their console, to sell consoles. They were front and center. Competition creates great results.

I had the feeling that Xbox had no identity. I used to own the Xbox One S back in 2019 and while I had some good time with it, seeing their Game Pass giving access to play on PC made something click in my mind. While I only owned potato PCs at the time, I knew that things will spiral down (and that was back in 2021 when I figured it out), now it's even more disturbing to find out I was actually correct 3 years ago. Since that "clicking" moment, I jumped from Microsoft (I also had a Nintendo Switch, still have it) to Sony since I didn't wanna bother with 3000+$ gaming PCs.

The Xbox One Series X is the Wii U of Microsoft Consoles but without exclusives.

[@Indigo-33]

I bought a Series S in 2022, mostly to play Fortnite while at university. I enjoyed Halo Infinite for a couple months then checked out and never got much interest in any other Xbox IPs, I tried titles on game pass like Grounded, Flight Simulator but nothing really interested me. High Fi Rush was the biggest highlight but ultimately I just used the Xbox to play Fortnite and Modern Warfare. I recently bought a PS5 and sold the Series S on eBay. I saw zero reason to keep it going forwards even with setting up dev mode emulation.

[@secundarycangre125]

i am lost my heart i am lost hi fi rush

[@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005]

Hi Fi rush wasn't a profitable game the studio behind it didn't make enough money so they simply closed it down like any other business would do I swear you guys have never worked a day in your life

[@rifty9322]

Here before this blows up

[@jawu9221]

I feel like you missed the point of gamepass, it’s big because of its profitability and its slowed down mostly because it’s reaching saturation of Xbox users, also Xbox is not just its console it’s really nice being able to play with pc friends after years of that not being an option and still really not one on ps

[@NovaBombardment]

I have never purchased an Xbox system. Even during the brand's supposed high point of consistently failing 360 units, their exclusive line up still sucked. I never saw what anyone saw in the Xbox brand other than they had one, and had to convince themselves it was good. The 360 still lost to the PS3 and Wii, so Xbox's supposed high point was enjoying its least embarrassing last place.

[@yourpststudios]

Microsoft never really cared about hardware. They care about software. I think the XBox was a power play from the start. The company that makes the best console doesn't win. The company that makes the best games does. Now that they took out the software competition and showed they could be hardware competitors, they are ready to make the gaming version of Microsoft Office.

[@treaper512]

😂😂😂😂😂😂or just saying u can buy series x ps5 and pc so no matter where it releases u can play it common sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂I own all three

[@RBFR01]

Even with the new games showcase like Gears 6 it's still not good enough. Imo I'd love a 4k Halo 3 and not a Master Chef collection just Halo 3 make it feel like 2007 again that's what I want anyway that was the golden days of gaming for me. Gears of war 1 & 2 are the best and 4-5 were destroyed by crap story lines and microtransactions. Gears of war should never have microtransactions period but uno greed so until Microsoft go back to how gaming was in 2007 I wont be buying any new games because everything is woke shit.

[@hotrod_hornet]

Your dunk on Forza and Cars 3 is corny AF and not nessesary

[@Keno_33]

Yeah the writing is def on the wall. Microsoft is leading Xbox into a full on game publisher/studio and they’ll eventually sunset all hardware operations

[@D1Kwazy]

Not a great time, but definitely not a downfall.

[@LittleKooby]

Now waiting for a Nintendo vídeo 🥶

[@stevenkennedy6870]

I’m just stating the facts more triple A games than Nintendo and Sony combined. The only console that supports emulation giving you access to more 1st party Nintendo and Sony 1st party IP than PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The best gaming controller for 3 generations straight of gaming that Nintendo and Sony felt the need to copy the design. Avowed Indiana Jones Gears if war E-day Blade Fable Perfect dark and every main line call of duty day and date on gamepass ultimate you can’t compete with that value even if you play on pc master race

[@userFYTEfigs]

?…. doesn’t the PlayStation sell way more consoles ps5/ps4/ps2….

[@lillj6231]

You know maybe you should have kept the Game Pass subscription because you had access to 500 free games in the fact that you unsubscribe because Microsoft shut down one IP is not Microsoft problem that’s your pro and that’s a terrible financial decision. That’s your problem. You canceled a great deal of a subscription because they shut down one when you could play all these games, I just feel like you like

[@DarkflameZM]

Even if this video is a month late, there is no downful of the Xbox brand (yet) anyway, there is a downfall of AAA gaming in general. It is heading towards a 1983 style crash. In terms of new, this generation exclusive games, the PS5 sucks too. This entire generation sucks (so far), and the next generation will be even worse. Sony will be forced to finally release a software emulator on the PS6 to allow PS1 through to PS5 games to work on it just to justify its existence for its first 4 years. By the time 2028 comes along, MS gaming will be a great place on both Xbox and PC. Even if GamePass is unsustainable. I personally will not be buying the 2027/2028 consoles until at least 2032.

[@lemon5000-tj6nv]

The gaming industry will never see a crash like the one in 1983, it’s too big to fall that low to the point where *all* games are seen as worthless Even if AAA publishers worldwide (not just America this time) fell to that point, u still have AA games that don’t have a stupidly big budgets and u have indies that appeal to a more dedicated audience

[@DarkflameZM]

@@lemon5000-tj6nv Nothing is too big not to fail. Decades of good existing games and good indie titles will keep the gaming industry alive but AAA is heading for a crash. GTA 6 will be the only outliner in the coming years as the hype alone will shit tens of millions of copies, even if it is trash. But that's it. There won't even be a new GTA title over the PS6 era. The next financial flop AAA wise will be Silent Hill 2 remake. The publisher unrealistically expects to sell 10 million copies at £60. Considering the most popular title Resident Evil 2 remake sold 6 million copies at £50, SH2 remake will financially flop, especially since it is console exclusive to just the PS5... AAA is a hot mess and there are no signs of improvement, it will crash by the end of this decade.

[@GoonFromTheMoon777]

@@mr.cheese9571 No, I just wanted to mention it when the video came out before Xeno mentions the xbox showcase. It did not wash away the bad stuff but it shows that xbox is going in the right direction or at least knowing how to hype people up.

[@dr.hannibal8338]

[@ps3955]

Xbox Showcase will not change anything. This console has been losing for 10 years. It is likely that Game Pass will also be a failure for Microsoft. There are only 2 serious consoles on the market Nintendo and Playstation. Xbox is a total lack of prestige and trust. No one wants to buy an Xbox. In Europe, only one Xbox out of every 10 consoles sold.

[@V3ntilator]

So basically this video only exist, because he were butthurt over the Xbox showcase and all it's non PS5 games?

[@PKSunset]

Sony is doing way worst, those final thoughts are backwards. That showcase showed me they put time into more games. Alot of the games shown were from the purchased IPs.

[@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

True but games like Doom will be released on other platforms. They're betting on Game Pass to make people want to play on Xbox, but the sustainability financially has not been proven yet. PlayStation is ass though.

[@Thespywhoteabaggedme]

How is Sony doing way worse when they had the entire first year of exclusivity on their hands while Xbox was suffering studio shutdowns? And how is Xbox putting time into CGI trailers with no release dates?

[@polmoro]

​@@Thespywhoteabaggedme It's called business. Covid hurt a lot of companies. I'm not saying this is the only reason, but we did see gaming numbers inflate dramatically with people stuck at home. Now the reality is everyone has sealed their wallets due to rising costs, and a return to more responsibilities. Gaming isn't as much of a focus as it was during the pandemic. This means sales of games are in decline. And everyone needs to stop holding Microsoft to a higher standard than Sony. It's ridiculous. Both Sony and Microsoft had studio closures and layoffs due to poor sales and performances. The loss of Tango is unfortunate (stories are surfacing that there were problems before Microsoft purchased them). Sony has in fact, cancelled more projects and laid off the same percentage of workforce as Microsoft.

The difference is once the games come out PlayStation’s lineup is actually good.

Xbox has going third party. If you own an Xbox then rip to you

[@MatthewMoreau]

I’m planning on buying one.

[@heronik79]

They are third party for years after they decided to port their games to PC just like Sony is after many PC ports and even 1 Switch port (LEGO Horizon) but they just don't do as much. Also i own an Xbox, Series S to be exact... It's my Netflix machine, i rather play on PC, Steam Deck or Switch... Fuck i spended so much money for those devices, oh my god

[@switchboy2320]

@@heronik79 why use a series s to watch Netflix when you got a pc phone tv to do that

[@heronik79]

@@switchboy2320 okay so before i had a PC or TV that had Netflix, i bought Xbox Series S for gaming... Duh, but I didn't played on it much (i didn't even buy many games for it, idk why, i was buying on PS4 like crazy but almost didn't at all on Xbox) and after i bought a Steam Deck i stopped entirely and it's now used as a Natflix machine for my parents... God i hated PS4 cause of how hot and loud it was but if i could, i would sell Xbox instead of PS4, i would atleast have some games... It would probably become a Netflix machine too so really it doesn't matter... Oh ye why i didn't used phone? I just prefer watching on a big screen

[@TEExJAY24]

I own one and I'm alive and well.

[@javierrios8027]

A PC can't be hooked to a TV. It just can't. You could go through the hassle of it but why would you? Buy wireless accessories, turn on TV, turn on PC, make sure to update Steam/EA/Battlenet/Epic/Uplay, update your drivers, then play game. All of this vs turn PS5, play game right where you left it. PC is like an F1 car. Of course it goes faster than your toyota but which one would you choose for commuting? Both ecosystems have their place.

[@COUNTVLAIDMIR]

Also you lied about MS and Zenimax having no relationship before acquisition, Morrowind is still literally exclusive to the OG Xbox. COD is the way it is now due to Xbox 360 boosting its popularity tenfold. Do more research before you release a crappy console fanboy video.

[@RyanHalladay]

You’re a horrible gaming journalist, bro, you don’t even know the history.

[@ThoraxtheDarkk]

Weird , they are doing loads better than sony and nintendo

[@PixelPikmin]

Not trying to be rude, but Xbox literally admitted during the Activision Blizzard court case that they’re dead last in the console market. If you’re including Gamepass then I could see that, but console wise absolutely not

[@ThoraxtheDarkk]

@PixelPikmin it's more about quality than quantity. Xbox has the most promising releases and better ecosystem for gaming. Sony tries to force everyone to make a psn account. Switch users only get remakes and ports from lesser consoles to tide them over until a better console. Joycon suit got thrown out, sony had no games, switch has barely any games. The only L xbox has is shutting down some studios lately. But at least they have studios after the fact

[@PixelPikmin]

@@ThoraxtheDarkk My guy, out of the 5 games Nintendo announced in the June Direct, only 1 was a port. Also barely any games? The switch probably has more exclusives in the June Direct this year than the Xbox Series has. Every Xbox Series game is either on Gamepass, PC, or Ps5. I won’t lie and say that Nintendo isn’t anticounsumer at times and that the State of Play didn’t suck, but saying that Xbox is doing the best and has the most promising releases is disingenuous

[@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

Better than Nintendo my guy?

[@ThoraxtheDarkk]

@PixelPikmin I'm sorry but nobody cares about nintendo exclusives. If you are referring to luigis mansion you must be so brain rotted to think a children's game is even on par with something like elden ring DLC, ESO expansion, ff13 expansion, D4 expansion. Or maybe he thinks the smurfs game is gonna be a bop on the switch lmao. Jesus christ dude grow up
