If an executive in Microsoft immediately became smart and had hope, be more competitive in the next generation of consoles: Better exclusives, lower initial price, super aggressive marketing, etc.

If I was a retard: continue fucking it up.

If I was Jewish mastermind: horde IPs to no tomorrow, focus on publishing games, and stop trying to directly compete with Sony by focusing on the Xbox Series S to target the poorfag market

goypass was a failed experiment
time to end it

Phil was absolutely right about losing the Xbone being the worst thing for them. Nobody who's entrenched on a particular platform and has a large digital library is moving over to another platform. Gamepass is what really killed them though.

>>715918869
I got a free month of PC goypass because I bought a new laptop and I turned on the xbox app just to see what they have and there's fuck all on there. I might redeem the free month when I want to replay Expedition 33 but 99% of it is either shoverware, shit everyone already owns already, or agressively mid. They don't even have decent options to buy on PC.

Unless that entire library of digital (and physical) games is going to seamlessly transfer over to PC, there's no advantage of moving to another platform. Especially when PC hardware worth a damn is over $1000 anyway. To say nothing of the fact that there will always be gamers who don't give a shit about computer parts and don't have any interest in doing research on hardware just to play vidya.

>>715920870
Why do you think anyone will spend $900-$1000 for a PS6 or $1500 for the next Xbox when no one is spending $700 for a PS5 Pro or $730 for an Xbox Series X, are you retarded?

Why do you think people will spend that same amount to game on a new platform only to lose everything that they already have on theirs?

They'll kill off their hardware division eventually. Xbox died with the Xbone, and Game Pass is hammering the final nails in the 360 coffin.
>>715918867
All they had to do was maintain their IPs. Now they have nothing.

>>715921208
They will either get a Switch 2 or Steam Deck 2 or they will leave gaming. Game industry is condensing, it's no longer growing. You're about to see a AAA high-end crash.

That was never going to happen, Halo only did well on Xbox because the cultivated a bunch of normalfags that saw it as a social experience until COD4 happened. Halo failed on PC 4 times, Halo failed on PlayStation, it will fail on Switch. Halo now needs to incorporate old shooter elements that it threw out with Halo CE back in 2001 to survive and its multiplayer is dead. They need to just straight up give up on Halo multiplayer entirely.

>>715921589
>They will either get a Switch 2 or Steam Deck 2 or they will leave gaming.
Steam Deck sold worse than the current gen of Xbox and Switch 2 has PS4 Pro-level of graphical power, though yes it will likely be worth owning once Duskbloods comes out.

First thing you've said that you're actually right about.

Anon, you are being retarded in thinking that those things have the same scope or goals.

>>715921704
Credible insiders, Microsoft will allow access to third party stores so say goodbye to selling at a loss. Both Sony's and Microsoft's next gen boxes will be based on Zen 6 UDNA, prepare for expensive ass consoles, boy. You're even more retarded ignoring that Microsoft Corp took over and wants their money and profits from the gaming side. Shouldn't have purchased Bethesda or ABK, that stupid idiot.

They’ll continue to make Xbox consoles so long as Sony makes PlayStation consoles. PlayStation isn’t exactly in a position of strength either just because their hardware sales are almost on par with the PS4 at the same point. They’ve sold a little over 300 million in total software while at this point the PS4 had sold nearly 4 times that amount and was over a billion. Hardware sales does not tell the whole story. They are both fucked

How are they going to do that when everything Xbox is being gutted, even their biggest shills are calling the next in-house box their last. You're getting expensive OEM handhelds and PCs in the future and an expensive home console, when those fail, they will just be a publisher and nothing more. Sony's already preparing to be publishers as well thus why PlayStation PC became PlayStation Publishing LCC. It's over for home consoles. Anyone saying otherwise are either delusional or on M$ and $ony's payroll.

>>715920536
>>715921068
If consoles are going to cost $1000-$1500 next generation, mid-level gaming PCs are going to be $2500+

Huh? Never said that it was.

sega have more of a future in the console industry than xbox at this point

>>715923365
They'll have an LCD and OLED model and Valve will sell at a loss again not grabbing the meme AI shit that Sony and especially Microsoft are going for. Valve can actually do that since they also sell directly to the consumer.

Why is this one anon talking up a Steam Deck 2 when one isn't even confirmed to be in development let alone announced?

>>715923058
AMD is making another chipset for both of them so they’re both definitely releasing another console. MS’s rumored non-Asus portable was cancelled though. And Sony is apparently making a portable. I agree it’s over for consoles but they’re both going to try again sadly

I don't understand why they are unable to deliver on games. Why was Halo Infinite so broken?

Short term they are making a new console and will continue parading the corpse of Xbox for a a few more years. Mid term they are going 3rd party trying to put gamepass everywhere but both Nintendo and Sony will refuse. Long term (within 10 years) Xbox is getting disbanded because video games are not that profitable compared to Microsoft's other businesses.
It sucks because I liked my One X and I like my SeX, if you install some emulators it plays pretty much everything from modern to 6th gen and earlier with the backwards compatibility.

>>715925061
I unironically liked my One X and SeX too. I still like my SeX. The BC is great. Running emulators in dev mode is great. But Microsoft really fucked up by putting their games on PC the same date as the Xbox versions. The XB1 VCR style with Kinect and TV was awful but they really tried to right the ship and I’m kinda surprised they failed. I still think it’s a better platform than what Sony has even though nobody cares about it

>>715925226
That didn't answer my question at all.
Also, the rare times I watch TV it's on the Xbox via Netflix or Paramount or the like.

This is why they're going for blockbusters, Microsoft will be killing anything that doesn't do well for them. Doesn't matter if Halo and Gears made Xbox what it was, Microsoft will kill them if they're not doing well.

They sell glorified prebuilts with a "Gamer" version of windows which is just windows with all the bullshit cutoff from it and the ability to quick resume from sleep. Meanwhile, gamepass will be available on anything that can connect to the internet. Any first party studios still around only exist to guarantee new slop is always available for gape ass in order to trick people into thinking it's a good deal, especially since Microsoft "exclusives" are $100 at this point.

Tldr nothing good.

They just need to make a prebuilt to play windows games

Fuck it, take it. Helldivers 1 was never a Playstation exclusive anyway. It was Sony-published to PC as far back as 2015 and was the FIRST game to be published by Sony that way since 1997.

Helldivers was conceptually not designed to be an exclusive title.

>>715933051

>>715919315
This perfectly encapsulates how retarded the Xbox leadership is.

Rumour has it Nintendo laughed them out of the room when they suggested this to them.

For Xbox, it’s over. They’re not coming back from this position. The ceo of Microsoft wanted to shut Xbox down when he was appointed and since then all they’ve done is fail — more layoffs are coming for them.

If they are so stupid as to release another console with steam support then it just confirms they are by far the dumbest company in gaming. Who in their right mind is going to buy off the Xbox store when you can access steams far superior store? For Xbox that means they earn $0 off software sales and have to manufacture and sell hardware with slim margins, if not selling at or below cost price.

>>715940106
because no one cares

just like Quick Launch

It's just another Xbox buzzword by retarded loyalists that doesnt resonate at all to the general public

Ban gookism and judaism. Wrong.

Then work on arcade experiemces that raise capability in world. Make getting beyter/good fun. Make people sufficient to be independent and enact heroism. Eg open prisons, erradicate psychology, drugs, education, experimentation etc.

Form a standard where expectations are impossibly high but progress towards better and beyond is imbued and achekved.

Cease use of controllers except fornthenimpaired and better ones made fornthem, eg head & eye tracking, whatever input someone can make.

Make sims, all of body sensed and movekent in a machine increasing fitness.

No asian allowance. Unless they adhere to human output. Appreciable. No featureless heads only differwnt bu hair. No stupidity.

Focus on pretty problem free perfection. And deal with naturalnproblems in that. Insuffiviencies.

For boys wanting action then that too. And older, but all serious, realistic limitations, have to try to succeed, have to use whats available. Make games areoind ingraining incprporation of effective stuff.

Make some beauty future kids/adults may miss out on. What wont be around then. Or whateber good os known now.

Bad to be taken for granted as backed up so doesn't need to be lived out IRL, but some good and progress needs to be preserved. I've seen it forgotten and niggerkike shit taken as normal. Stealing anf ascociating opposite with decent.

Your old game consoles don’t just disappear when you buy new ones.

Anecdotally everyone I know does this especially now in the era where your library comes with you across generations

>>715940204
PlayStation is dead too. Not as dead as Xbox but they haven’t even sold a third of the software of what the PS4 sold at about the same point despite selling a similar number of consoles. There will be another Xbox. They weren’t delusional for trying to buy Nintendo. Nintendo is the most valuable game company in existence era after era and this isn’t the first time they’ve wrote them a massive check. It’s just sad because despite buying so many software IPs and publishers it’s not Nintendo so it’s not good enough

>>715939534
>Microsoft's goal should be about acquiring all the major publishers when they fail.
That's what they did and that's why they failed, fuck them. They should have never gotten involved with gaming. They don't care about the medium. They just want a monopoly to kill it like they do everything else.

>>715940682
Microsoft has no talent, you can't buy your way into victory, this is why Xbox died. Gaming belongs to Nintendo and Valve now.

So...how long until Game Pass dies?

they did this by app-ifying linux for more than a decade
now people develop in windows and use wsl to loonix
This is the reason why Gaben keeps pushing linux to dissasociate from Windows
It's not that microsoft is going to close the door, it's that they are going to jump in, and absorb everything around

>>715949775
microsoft do this all the time using all sorts of dark partterns
for example, pushing the use of Edge by removing the pdf reader from windows, and making Edge the default pdf reader
making web searches in the start menu always open in edge
defaulting to bing
creating all sorts of entries to "search on bing"
even making people believe they are using Chrome, while they are using Edge, just by copypasting the design to make both windows almost identical

youtube is pulling the same with sorts, mimicking the tiktok interface. instead of creating their own thing, they just sneak themselves in
