Its like Microsoft has all the right people at Xbox except the person who can make the actual decisions. I honestly don't think Phil Spencer has a lot of power to make the changes. I think MS is letting the Xbox go as a brand and they don't exactly care about what makes up that brand. Xbox exists as simply "Xbox". Put the brand on computers, sell the console on Microsoft's web store, but we don't actually care about what we release for it.

Embarrassing clickbait.
Of course that isn't surprising at all.

He’s right, but what more can they do than what they’ve done for the last year? They’ve bought a huge amount of exclusive development talent.
It’s going to take some time to see the benefits of that, and whether it works as Microsoft hopes it will, but they are addressing the problem.

He is not wrong, but its was not that bad for xbox in my opinion, well it actually is for xbone but i think 360 was kinda solid. Not really an "unbiased" video but the lack of xbone exclusive hits really hurt the xbox, so i agree on that.

Its Dunkey. All he does is shitty clickbait. I honestly don't see how he is so popular. His videos are as cringe as Jim Sterlings or anything from GiantBomb.

Right., Their E3 this year was a good step in the right direction, but Microsoft has a lot of work to do to bring new games to the table.
What absolutely bonkers me is that they have a few games in their arsenal that people want to see again like: Fable and Perfect Dark. These would be killer games to bring back to the market and bring new experiences from.
Instead, there's Sea of Thieves that started poorly and the same racing game (albiet good) almost every year.
Eh, Dunkey's videos are usually the more tongue-in-cheek types of videos. Sometimes he'll do a serious one, but most times they're just for laughs.

Oh, I know. I just can't get into his comedy. I have tried on numerous occasions, but I could never even muster a chuckle. Just not for me, I guess.

Agreed. There’s a lot of potential to outsource these classic licenses, like they did with Killer Instinct, or Cal-Arts Battletoads (lol, I couldn’t resist).
Find a great developer, even one on a contract basis, and the Perfect Dark franchise, among others like Banjo Kazooie, could spring to life. Heck, give Playtonic a call for the latter.

In the end Sony created the greatest console ever.

PS4 was really good, X1 was really bad, they said they would make it better and get meaningful exclusives but they haven’t. Instead they put the exclusives they have on PC and then made a bunch UIs all worse than any of the X360 ones.
I don’t really know what they’re thinking tbh, Xbox is dangerously close to becoming irrelevant.

The fact that they're already hedging their bets and saying they won't disclose sales numbers does not breed a lot of confidence.

I can’t disagree with this. It’s been remarkable to watch how severely the Xbox brand has fallen off. It’s going to take a pretty massive fuckup from Sony for Microsoft to have any chance at regaining mind share in Gen9.
It’s been a comedy of errors over the last six years, with few exceptions. With Microsoft losing its quality exclusives, shipping low-quality sequels to formerly huge IP, and committing more to PC and Nintendo than to its own Xbox brand, it’s not outrageous to wonder how interested Microsoft is in being competitive anymore in the console space.

Do you think that's it? Or is Microsoft's recent move to being vocally so supportive of LGBT agendas?

They should be silencing any criticism of either Microsoft or Sony then. Is that the case?

Sony has created several "greatest console" everssssss.
What are you talking about, Forza has never been a great seller. The only Sim racer that has been a great Seller is GT.....

Sure, for a very non-literal meaning of the word "literally".
(GT Sport about 8M copies sold, UC4 over 15M)

Erm, you might want to look at franchise sales numbers
(GT is sony biggest selling franchise by a LARGE margin).As for Forza. Each Forza game sells an average of 9 million. MS have released one each year for the entire gen...... Do the math
So there you have it. The two biggest selling franchises for MS and Sony, and most people ignore it *Shrug*

We all know vgchartz is trash when it comes to new games but they correct them as official numbers are released. These should be good.
