MS Hardware is decent. They need to give reasons for consumers to buy their console or join their gaming ecosystem. They can have the most powerful console and no games and no one will be interested to join their platform. So, it all comes down to compelling value, and in the gaming industry, means great games that players can only play on XBOX. Going 3rd party makes no sense, since no one is really interested in their studio’s games enough to make sense. If their studios makes compelling games that Sony and Nintendo gamers like, they would have bought an XBOX to play it. Since they don’t even have enough great games, I don’t see how going 3rd party will save them. This is in contrast to Nintendo who has great 1st party games and weakest hardware spec-wise. Gamers would love Nintendo to go third party because they want Nintendo games. XBOX doesn’t have these caliber games. - hence that is MS XBOX biggest issues. Lack of great games that no one has played before it was released and couldn’t be experienced anywhere else but on XBOX. Have a few games like this, and they will get gamers into their platform. To entice 3rd party preference of XBOX, they should port Office 365 to XBOX, and include it to XBOX Live/GamePass without increasing the price further. Imagine games + Office 365 + 5TB one drive and optimize for XBOX consoles (they can use on Windows Desktop too). Now XBOx because a gaming and home education console. Instead of having just one console per family, this could be 1 console per child. Even XBOX Series S would sell a lot as an educational system.

I had the OG and the 360, I then moved to the PS4 due to the Xbox One pre-launch debacle and I am on PS5 now due to the lack of direction from Microsoft. You know what I liked during the OG and 360 era? A good lineup of games, most of them exclusives (even temporary) but more than that, real hard hitters. OG XBox: Halo 1 and 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Crimson Skies, Otogi 1 and 2, Riddick, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Fable 1, Steel Battalion, Splinter Cell, Top Spin, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Dead or Alive 3, Conker's Bad Fur Day. Xbox 360: Halo 3 and Reach, Gears of War, Ace Combat 6: Liberation of Gracemeria but also a lot of Japanese RPGs that were exclusive (at least temporary)! Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Bayonetta really superior version etc... Do you realize the power of those lineups compared to the current Xbox Series lineup. Sure the market has evolved and since new engines like Unreal, most of games are going multi-platform. But still, the reason I also got happy with the PS4? FF7 Remake, Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Nier Automata, God of War, Horizon, Uncharted for example were true exclusives unavailable on Xbox and even PC at that time. For the PS5 it's less appealing again due to how the market evolves, but still, the Spiderman series, Horizon and God of War again, FF7 Rebirth, FF16, Stellar Blade, Gran Turismo 7 are still titles that make it worth getting the console. On Xbox Series, except maybe Halo Infinite, I don't have reasons to buy the console or games are also immediately on PC (like HiFi Rush)

I don't think so, when you look at the majority of gamers in the PC space, they too aren't using RDNA2 feature sets and above for the majority. How viable and good were these RDNA2 features that Microsoft invested in them, while Sony didn't because they spent time with developers and found these features weren't going to be the targets. Newer mesh shading for instance was an RDNA2 feature, but how many games are even using RDNA2 mesh shading? As far as raw performance goes, 12 tflops of RDNA2 vs 10.2 tflops of RDNA2 isn't even enough to justify or create a gap between 2 different Radeon GPUs of the same RDNA2 class. They did it to shoot for the excitement of "the worlds most powerful console" and it just didn't pan out as they were hoping. Sony made software solutions to some of the hardware missing features of RDNA2, and it simply worked out for them in the end. RDNA2 is also not known for strong RT either so there was never going to be a difference there. Sony really weighed it out and talked with developers to get an idea of how the next generation was going to go, Microsoft wanted to try to shoot for the hardcore crowd of "the worlds most powerful console" and now know they are actually the minority of gamers.

I feel like Xbox missed a huge marketing point by not tripling down on backwards compatibility. One of the main reasons i got a Series X first was that I could play a bunch of my fave games across gens on it by just opening up my disc collection and still play most current gen mainstream games that i want on it. Xbox wants this play anything, anywhere mentality in their products which is great imo, but being so hands off on their current software and also basically just cutting off backwards compatibility has left them in a state where their most hyped titles disappear from the public eye for years and people essentially have nothing but current games that devs openly (and rightfully) deprioritise for the more surefire platforms. And we know the attitude of some Xbox leads needs to change. Lets not forget how much Baldurs Gate 3 was shit talked in those leaked emails before it was a hit, and even then Larian had to fight to remove the feature parity clause to release on both the S and X. 343 leads like Frank O'Connor were known to be toxic for years and still led that studio into the ground for a decade before Xbox even looked at fully changing that studios leadership. And he only left last year! I do think Xbox in the long term has a much better plan than Sony when it comes to Xbox as a whole, but god is it frustrating watching them fumble really easy ways to win back people actually interested in their platforms.

I was thinking about the latest interview with Phil Spencer and his quote about, basically, mutating the Xbox consoles into gaming-focused PCs, and at first I thought "well, Phil wants to let other stores be on Xbox so they then can go to regulators and demand Sony and Nintendo do the same as there'd be precedent". However, later I got into a certain realisation: If Xbox has PC games playable just by itself, then all the former PlayStation exclusives that Sony is now putting onto PC would be playable on Xbox as well, even if Sony doesn't want to. I still believe the way to make Xbox playable would be (would have been) if they made different levels of certification for games, in a way that makes the games certified linear. If Rockstar needs it, they can certify GTA 6 for Series X, but maybe EA certifies EAFC for Series S (and by virtue of that, immediately for Series X). And do it in a way where newer consoles would either have a new certification process that would autopass with former certifications (say, the next Xbox console "X") or set that console to have the same certification as others (say, a Xbox Portable with the same certification as Series S). Such a way, even though it would've needed a good deal of sweetening the deal for consumers, for example with stuff like allowing games to play on Cloud for lower end consoles, it would have streamlined the Xbox development pipeline for developers big time and effectively eliminated generations in a seamless way, as well as help Xbox themselves set up hardware without needing to train everyone for everything. Only downside would be not perfectly optimising for the console, but that's not something devs do due to extreme lack of time and proficiency on the platform.
