Peter Moore, the man who led the Xbox 360 to greatness, knew exactly what gamers wanted, SEGA hired him at the end of the Dreamcast's official tenure and sales rose until they finally discontinued it, and then Xbox took him on for the Xbox 360. But then, they hired Phil Harrison whose track record included botching the PS3 launch whose entire premise was "Wanna see me do it again?" (He also went on to launch Stadia if that's any indication of Microsoft's infinite wisdom in choices). And suddenly it became all about making money over making good things. It's sad because they'd only been going up until that point, now it's just a corporations money maker. Not saying the PS5 is any better with its total of zero games that can't be played on a PC and PS4, but Xbox was supposed to be the chosen one. Losing Peter Moore was their biggest mistake, he'd have won them the 8th generation for sure and then, we'd have a Xbox with personality, good games, and fun for all instead of just Microsoft's money maker, discount PC.

Not that it matters, anyway. Ever since the start of this gen, Xbox has wanted to shift to being the Netflix of gaming with its GamePass. Phil already admitted that they don't care about making games anymore, and it's selling less consoles than its competitors. Studios THEY BOUGHT OUT put out a game and then Xbox closes them down. There is no future for Xbox like this.

[@floppa9415]

At so obvious that nobody at Xbox is in sync on when the time is right to cash out. Like obviously that's the whole point of their business eventually. Right now they probably don't make a lot of profit because clearly they are dead last and have a small customer base. So they need be the "good guy" and throw out some bones to gamers to lure them back into the ecosystem so they can start milking them later. But its clear to me that they internally haven't a clear leader on who decides what when that has come. Like why would you make a good deal like game pass and invest a lot of money and time in getting great backwards compatibility that gets people excited while at the same time acting desperately to turn Halo infinite into a microtransaction profit generator or try to sell the most expensive SSDs with a huge markup (I'm talking about the expansion cards) and now jacking up the prices of gamepass. Like if you are constantly flip flopping between "doing great stuff" and "doing horrible stuff" people are gonna mostly remember the horrible stuff and the good stuff might as well be worthless.

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

Not once have I reached a point where I seriously considered buying an Xbox and it's because of how stupid their decisions can be. Like Sony's not immune to stupid either especially recently but Xbox somehow out perfoms them in that area every time. Ontop of that they never had a defining idenity compared to Sony or Nintendo, if you were to ask a random person what Xbox's best series is chances are they'll either be confused or need a minute to think about it. And the answer will almost always be Halo and nothing else. But if you were to ask that same question for Playstion and Nintendo you'd get a bunch of different answers instantlt. My point is that Xbox does'nt have the first party icons that can draw people in guaranteed, and that's because they spend too much time on what everyone else is doing as opposed to how to build out their core idenity. It's all finally catching up to them and they just refuse to own up to any of it. I want Xbox to still be around but that won't happen if they keep doubling down the path their currently on.

What I find interesting is Microsoft has all the time in the world to re start the shut down studios and they also have said it was a mistake to shut down Tango but yet here we are and they're still shut down... The Xbox 360 was so successful because the games were so good and weren't woke, broken or greedy. The Xbox 360 had soul and was made by passionate devs who genuinely liked the games they were working on example Gears Of War devs adding in things like speed reloading that made the game so much better and loved by literally everyone. Halo 3 was so good people literally brought a console just to play that game. No new games are good enough to go and buy a console just to play them and that's part of why console is dying. Great games create great memories and those great memories creates love for those games, franchises, consoles, Xbox brand and the entire company. The reason Xbox is dying at a very fast rate and why people are playing older or old games is because of Greed, Wokeness, Microtransactions, Subscriptions, Memberships, Loot boxes ect... Gamers hate that garbage fact. We don't want any microtransactions, subscriptions, wokeness ect... it ruins games completely and destroys the entire franchise, console, console brand, all respect for the company and the companies reputation. This is why Microsoft is suffering so much financially. No one literally no one wants wokeness, live service games, digital games, lazy broken games, greed ect... These things are the leading causes of why games sell so terribly and why people are just not buying games but until Microsoft learn this they will just keep destroying themselves and Phil Spencer is not the correct person for the position he is in imo. His not a gamer, he doesn't care and just does what Microsoft tells him to do and it's what we currently have which is well.... dog shit. Game Pass is good in theory but in reality isn't purely because Xbox Live access used to cost $80 yearly and then $90 and now $140 for basic Xbox Live access and that's just terrible and bullshit. Microsoft are forcing players to buy Game Pass Ultimate or they get 0 perks but it's $240 yearly.... also there are no good games period. The modern gaming experience is woke, microtransaction and subscription filled broken buggy live service digital garbage so naturally no one wants an Xbox. Backwards compatibility isn't the correct decision to make and never was even tho it is nice but Sony did it right. Just put the disk in from an old or older console and it just works on the new one at a higher or smoother fps it's why gamers love it.

[@Jlacker]

It was only successful due to am*r*c*nts buying everything and the PS3 being released too late, not because of the games. Even the Xbox One had a better launch than the 360 despite having no games, but unlike the 360 it didn't had the kinect to save it. Most of the thing you complain about like microtransactions and propaganda were all started by the Xbox 360 and the Original Xbox.

[@MrEffectfilms]

One more thing I want to point out. Nintendo didn't take pay cuts and refuse to fire employees out of the goodness of their hearts. Japanese protection laws are in place to stop this from happening, it can still happen but they'd have to go to court and convince the judge that this is indeed necessary. They didn't lay people off and fire them because doing so would have been illegal.

[@lammyjammer6670]

I'm convinced they're killing the day one tier over time or at the very least jacking up the price to the point where it doesn't make sense. Standard is what Gamepass should've been to be sustainable. Sony had the right idea with their tiers: offer first party games that aren't selling well anymore on the subscription over time. Sony double dips with their model: they keep their cheap audience on the hook with the subscription while the people who want the games upon release can pay full price as usual.

[@firstnamemclastname9490]

I feel like there's a way to reconcile having Game Pass as an all-time deal while not anhilating developers. First, I think they have to abolish the day one release strategy 100%. I would stay subscribed even if AAA games came out several months after release because Game Pass is best for games that you would like to play, but wouldn't spring the money on normally.

videos like these are very fascinating. gamers are finally realising that the industry is dead in the water, and are attempting to diagnose why. point the finger at loot boxes, microtransactions, live service, whatever. the problem is you. its always been you. gamers are terrible game critics, and woefully uninformed (ignorant) consumers. gamers, in general, dont know what does into making a game, how much it costs, how the industry works, they couldnt tell you what makes a good game good and a bad game bad (that, or theyre bad at articulating it). things cannot get better if the consumer does not even know what better means.

[@wcapeling]

In my opinion Xbox needed to wait on announcing new games like GoW EDay and Doom until 2026 when they announce a new console. They already accepted defeat for this generation, so they should have only mentioned games they previously announced so that in 2026 they could come out swinging for next gen.

Care to explain? I still own all my PS5 games that I bought on Bluray. Now, arguable, it's sad how unfinished some games are on those discs, and how some of them are very buggy without the day-1 patch... but the one thing that the disc definitely gives me is ownership.
