And they wonder why they don't get responses and go reporting to the mods that you dont respond to them like past GAF member Redneckerz.....

The truth is, I keep hearing people say "this is an xbox thread"......This is more a "here's what Phil said, here's his strategy for next gen" as opposed to a pure XBOX game OT.....
Phil is saying, that he wont have exclusives, which is pretty much against the grain of everything a console is, especially a new gen console......I know that pretty much every XBOX has tapered off acutely towards the end of their lifecycle relative to exclusives and support, but surely you can see a huge issue with that happening at launch/ the beginning and several years post launch? That means real exclusive XBOX support will only sandwich itself between 2023 and 2025 as opposed to 2020-2025, which is when they usually taper off....By mid-late 2025 MS will be campaigning hard for the XBOX Series Platinum and leaving Series X in the dust whilst PS5 continues to get high scale AAA exclusives just as the PS4 is receiving in 2020 leading up to PS5....
TLDR; MS's problem all gen long was exclusives, it was not for being underpowered the first 4 years of this gen, which is clearly why XBONEX didn't fix anything or that perception of a problem to them......Their issue all gen was proper exclusives.....What do they do? They double down on less exclusives nextgen…….How would people not want to comment about this.....It's not just them, it's part of the industry in which they are a part and they seem to be going against every reason why people would ever want to buy a new console...…..And when they fail, people will come here blaming Sony fans, because we lap up anything Sony releases, but refuse to see why such a strategy for MS will be more problematic for them next gen.....
I think many XBOX fans tolerated and ribbed up many body punches and haymakers this gen, they stood in the ring boxing whilst Phil the coach told them to continue fighting, told them, they will see some sunshine and win the fight eventually, that's when they had already lost 11/12 rounds mind..... and were being haymakered like crazy in that last round....So they stayed fighting and Phil said "keep your hands up" whilst boosting them on the outside of the ring with that famous grin.....Now, here we are at the next fight, Phil says, come fight the same guy who won you 12/12 rounds, 7 years later, just this time you have no gloves, no mouth piece, no head gear......That's the situation MS and it's fans are in next gen with Coach Phil...
