Stop projecting, clown.I hope you don't get to disappointed after 2027, when Xbox is still going, regardless of how many Gamepass subs it has.

You can say that again! It’s funny because outside of the gaf…… nobody gives a flying fuck.Phil Spencer living rent free at Gaf
DeepEnigmaTheShocker
were you there?TheShocker
Yes, but I don't remember my username and didn't frequent like I do Gaf.were you there?
Before or after the IGN acquisition?Yes, but I don't remember my username and didn't frequent like I do Gaf.
Way before.Before or after the IGN acquisition?
Lord Phil would have never been treated this way there.

well if the emails are anything to go by I think it’s obvious they know things are bad and needed to change. A process which I personally think they are making some reasonable progress on, but only time can really answer a lot of these questions. Games take time to make and change can’t happen over night. We don’t really know what challenges the Xbox division faced intensely when answering to guys like nadella. So I’d rather not assume too much, personally.They don't live in reality. Cult of personality vs. actual results.
Plenty of people outside of GAF give a flying fuck. Twitter, other forums, journalists.....this shit is being discussed everywhere.
My man. Those were the days.Way before.
Stunning retort. It had no tie up with my comment, but you did your best, and that's all we can ask.Stop projecting, clown.
I think you're right the biggest problem is definitely games. In that situation though they need to be even smarter, not further nosedive their reputation through incessant insecure messaging over the problem.I don’t know. You’d have to do a representative survey of current and potential xbox customers to find out. But I think the biggest issue hurting their brand is simply the lack of consistent high quality first party games. The hardware and services are all good, but it’s the games that are lacking.
This.Outside of the message board bubble, nobody cares.

Games they would have already had.
Don't be a derpy muppet.
According to Phil, GamePass subscribers haven’t increased in 6 months or more and with all of the money Xbox have been spending on subsidies, acquisitions, and 1st party titles, revenue is a poor barometer for the health of the Xbox business.That's only a couple metrics, though. Console sales and Game Pass subs aren't the entire story. Isn't revenue up a lot? Xbox sells well on Steam and their GaaS games do pretty well. Game Pass should start growing again with a steady stream of games. I imagine Starfield already gave it a boost.
MS is acting exactly like their old days.You're still thinking it's the old days.
Microsoft isn't.
Stonger as a brand?That doesn't mean Xbox isn't stronger as a brand. The issue is that the competition is simply better.
MS is acting exactly like their old days.
To me this is such embarrassing and cringy thing to say. I never want to refer myself as "hardcore gamer" I'm just someone who enjoys playing games as a hobby...nothing more and nothing less.Don't be a casual gamer. Be a hardcore gamer.
Wasting money left and right is hurting the brand, since 30+ new studios haven’t produced Halo CE of this gen. Ed Fries made better choices for Xbox in two years, than any Xbox executive up until today. Halo 1 and 2, Dead or Alive 3, Oddworld, PGR, Rally Sport Challenge, Fable, Obscure, Buffy, Outrun 2, Splinter Cell 1/2/3, JSRF, Ninja Garden, Panzer Dragon, Otogi.
Who put 10p in you asshat?Actually retarded lmao
This is even worse, I'm disappointed in you, you can do better.It'll be okay, Phil Spencer doesn't even know you exist.
Nice try… you know this is not what he meant but keep on cheerleading .Because 2x as many first party studios as PlayStation, and GamePass, is exactly like their old days...
Nail on the headHe’s been hurting the brand since his small dick syndrome set in during the Xbox One Gen, as soon as he decided acquisitions and damaging competitors was the way to go that was it.
He’s an absolute scumbag taking Gaming down a path that could ruin it. That isnt hyperbole either for any doubters, monopoly leads to stagnation, complacency and they are already arrogant enough, add to that how shitely managed they are and it’s a recipe for another crash.
Nintendo will be fine of course but I dont want to lose Final Fantasy, or DMC or Resident Evil or Tomb Raider or Souls or God of War etc etc because Phil Spencer cant stop measuring his cock in millimetres…
It'll be okay, Phil Spencer doesn't even know you exist.
It's pretty clear from leaked emails that Phil had absolutely no hand in this. He was just as shocked as anyone about the extra TFs (having spent 12 hours pouring over Cerny's presentation) and even his own engineering had warned him that TFs were not a good metric so... the fact that you'd chalk this up to leadership, when even Phil doesn't, is weird.Introduced the One X and Series X giving us the most powerful consoles.
Again, Phil's own emails dispute this. Going to your boss in fits of apoplexy over your belief you have the most powerful console of the coming generation and lamenting the seven years of hurt you've endured as the weaker console is definitely not the angle of someone with no interest in trying to 'out console Sony'.Xbox doesn't need to out console Sony, it just needs to be successful. If at the end of the generation, Xbox sells 70-80 million, and Sony sells 120 million, it doesn't matter. It only matters to Sony fanboys who are looking for a win. Tencent makes billions and billions from gaming, and don't make a console.
MS is looking at a hybrid model of the old console buisness and the Tencent one.
That's the problem with many XBox friends - they desperately want to protect what they love, but don't realize that they deserve better than what they so gratefully swallow.The Xbox fans who are defending him are shooting themselves in the foot and they don't even know it.
You guys are still focusing on console sales, and yet Xbox as a brand, in what it means, is bigger than ever. Game Pass and Xbox is on PC as well. I don't believe even for a second Xbox is worse now than the early Xbox One era, where the hardware was shit, the games were shit and the brand image was basically of a green turd.Stonger as a brand?
It's basically non-existent in Asia, irrelevant in Europe and struggling in the US/UK (their strongest markets).
