Has there ever been a bigger humiliation in gaming?

The last good Xbox console was 360.

OG Xbox, Gamecube, Vita, Wii U, basically all Sega hardware after the Genesis, maybe early PS3 era also.

Putting games on PC devalued the xbox brand too much. Hopefully it goes back to exclusives next generation

exclusives aren't going to be a thing anymore. xbox and playstation are giving it up since games need more sales now due to the bloated budgets they have. the only company that will still get away with it is nintendo since their games are cheaper to make and having a cult buy any shit you toss out.

I bought a Xbox Series S 4 years ago and am still enjoying it :)

>>717483570
Nintendo will also be forced to port their games eventually because they are also struggling with bloated game budgets and long dev times. This is why they decided to charge their games $80 to make up for it. If people refuse to buy $80 games, they shall eventually think about making their games multiplatform.

Gamers talk shit about Xbox but in reality this is a sign of our declining income.

Wii has the best GUI. It's literally just an app selection screen, what more could you want? Second best is Xbox 360 because the apps are all neatly collected in tabs. The other consoles are garbage. You need to go through multiple menus to get a specific app.

>>717483198
Garbage hardware, 2009- kinect trash, nostalgia is a hell of a drug but 360 wasn't good.

>>717483157 (OP)
What about that time when Microsoft made a proposal to buy Nintendo and then got laughed at for like an hour? Then there was also that email that got leaked a year or two ago that showed that Microsoft still jerks off to the idea of buying Nintendo one day.
That was pretty embarrassing.

Once the live service trash that is Xbox Series S stops working you can mod it into an emulator.

Nintendo has smaller budgets and a very submissive customer base.

Lol, no

3DS was GOATed and pretty much a better wii menu.

>>717483157 (OP)
No, because I don't think MS will recover from this. Sony and Nintendo have had hardware flop but recovered, and Sega was a much smaller company so even their flops are more understandable. Xbox was just plain mismanaged into the ground, which is a shame because Xbox One X and Series X are nice hardware with a good controller. There's just no reason to get one instead of a PS5 or PC.

The Wii U probably. It was literally so fucking bad that they ended up just porting nearly every single Wii U game to the Switch so they could have a second chance with an actual existing audience.

It was ogre for the Wii U once XCX got ported, that was literally all it had left and now that console has basically been wiped from history by Nintendo.
There's going to be a point in the future where people are going to think that Nintendo went straight from the Wii to the Switch.

Most tone deaf thing MS has done since the XB1 reveal. I also remember that the black chick who runs Xbox was asked why Tango got axed and she legitimately couldn't come up with an answer.

>>717483157 (OP)

They are slowly phasing out of being a console manufacturer. I 100% believe that Phil is a double agent working for Sony now.

>>717486326
Mikami was the lifeblood of Tango, and he barely had any involvement with Hi Fi Rush. Most of the team was loyal to him, so when he quit, they went to work elsewhere. The studio was a shell of what it was.
Krafton just wasted a fuckton of money buying a dead studio. Also why you won't see another Hi Fi Rush or anything else coming out of Tango for a long time. And it probably won't be as good.

>>717486629
>Wooly World
Got ported to the 3DS

I did forget about Rainbow Curse, but for Starfox Zero and Miiverse, those are things that Nintendo probably wants people to forget along with the Wii U. Even though Miiverse was fucking based.

>>717483198
This is only because the community itself made this generation of Xbox the best and most fun. Without the community the console would have buried MS due to the RROD issue. They would have pulled out way back in the day had the 360 sold OG Xbox numbers.

>>717486326
It's actually psychotic business behavior. Nothing about that made any sense at all and I think the people behind Microsoft are just purposely fucking around and insidious or something. After consistent fuck ups, and especially that situation in particular, Xbox should not be respected at all in any capacity.

>>717483157 (OP)
No reason to buy it. No good exclusives.

>>717483157 (OP)
and then they were stupid enough to raise console prices and try to do the same tk games... only to backtrack weeks later

>>717486326
I assume this is a case of some higher ups not communicating properly with each other, because otherwise it sounds like the company went full schizo there.

>>717483157 (OP)
Literally all they had to fucking do was give the new Xbox a name you could recognize and point to as this generation's Xbox. But they're quite literally fucking incapable of doing that because they're FUCKING RETARDS and instead thought that XBOX SERIES X would be something that rolls off the tongue and that people will recognize. You go up to anyone on the street and ask them what the current gen Xbox is and they'll shrug their shoulders. You ask them about the current gen PlayStation and people will say it's the PS5.

>>717486326
The only thing Microsoft knows how to do is consume small companies and steal their IPs while nuking the company at the same time. RareWare should have been a warning sign to everyone that if Microsoft buys you, you're going to get put on ice and have your company shut down while Microsoft parades your corpse around after firing all of the employees that made those great games you loved.

Sony is steadily going the same direction and soon there will be zero reason to buy a playstation either.

>>717483157 (OP)
Yes

>>717488663
The only reason to buy an XSX is backwards compatibility and Rare Replay

Get this man back
give him 2 years and Xbox is back on track
give him 3 years and Sony is back to being on life support like early gen 7

I thought Xbox only cared about game pass subscribers now.

>>717489345
It's less about the subscribers and more about the platforms now. Microsoft doesn't give a fuck about Xbox anymore, getting gaypass on Playstation and Switch is the endgame.
Then they'll go back to caring about subs.

Retarded take. The next Xbox is already confirmed in the works, and it will be basically a mid range gaming PC that's also backwards compatible. Traditional non-Switch consoles are dying and MS is ahead of the curve. PS6 will be a generation that bombs and Sony will also inevitably make a gaming-PC hybrid for the PS7.

>>717483157 (OP)
That would've mattered to microsoft a couple generations ago. At this point they already know taking sole control of the console market is impossible for them. So it's not much of an embarassment when their strategy already shifted.
Currently they're invested in trying to get gamepass in as many places and machines as possible, to hopefully take control of the gateway that way instead.

>>717491647
>Who gives a fuck about sales?
I do agree that people who discuss vidya tend to care way to much about sales, but to completely dismiss them is asinine. If shit doesn't sell, you don't get new shit.
Nice that you enjoy your Series X, but if Xbox continues to lag further and further behind it sales, you're going to hit a point where you're not getting another Xbox. So you should be at least somewhat aware of how things are selling so that you don't end up getting blindsided by news like Microsoft announcing that they're dropping out of the home console market.

>>717483157 (OP)

Yeah the Nerd covered it, but seriously the Amiga brand went from god-tier to clown orgy in less than 9 years. Bankrupted over the most poorly planned console ever. It makes the Jaguar seem like a brilliant business move.

Yeah, the console that wad notorious for bricking itself sure had good hardware.

Several.
It's not actually THAT bad in the grand scheme of releases. The real shitter releases console and machine wise are the likes of the Wii U, those shitty retro release preloaded game consoles that even casuals considered shit.
The 360 was a bit of a joke too. Microsoft has always lacked at marketing of its Games and Consoles. I'd argue Nintendos doing pretty terribly despite what they're claiming and I doubt that'll change unless their new Pokemon is good. I'm also old enough to remember there were several "gaming" laptops that were such dogcrap in the mid 2000s they might as well been sold as a regular laptop with a game capable card (because that's all they really were).

>>717506105
The 360 was a pile of shit, mine bricked as well and I only used the darn thing probably 3 hours a week.

>>717506105
A pedantic faggot would point out that the coin-flip failure rate was the result of the lead-free solder rather than a true hardware issue. A sophisticated and handsome adult like myself would say that the pittance of RAM, lack of a wifi card, and lack of an HDMI port qualifies as shit hardware.

360 was the only truly successful xbox, and it wasn't even a good console, it just managed to be popular in the first half of the 7th gen because of PS3's early struggles.

I'm surprised that they're still going to make another Xbox console. I imagine it'll be the last one though. The situation has been utterly hopeless for Xbox consoles since Xbox One and the situation has only gotten worse during the Xbox Series era.
