>Be Xbox

>Completely fucking give up.

What happened?

They make more money selling games to a larger audience. Profits margin on console sales are 'low'. Consoles themselves are so similar that the old model just doesn't make sense anymore.

I was a die hard Xbox fan for original and 360. I liked the controller better, a lot of games performed better, and for 6th gen, even if you had to pay for it, the online vs PS2 was so much better.

But I had to get a PS2 later for the games I didn't have access to.

But by PS4 the controllers are the same (minus stick position), the online is the same, performance is the same, and Xbox has no games. So why the fuck would I get an Xbox?

Pretty rough fall off.

>sell consoles at a loss to onboard people to your platform, expect profit to be made back from game sales
>throw that well established business model in the fucking garbage to chase after goypass subscription revenue
>people stop buying games
>become multiplat to onboard non-goypass owners on other systems
>while we're at it might as well get rid of that negative revenue stream
>collect licensing payments from Asus for slapping a name and OS onto one of their handheld instead
This was the only way for them to keep going

>>719088536 (OP)
Why are you not happy? Xbox, PS, PC, all together, cross-platform and cross-progress. More players.
This should be the norm.

>>719089958
yes

The Xbox One

Yeah same, the dual sense was a huge downgrade though but now I'm just playing on PC and get the exclusives from both.

Absolutely cursed image

>>719088536 (OP)
I'm old and don't care anymore. All I see is a bunch of new people to wall bounce online. Once Halo comes to PS and Switch, I'm gonna teabag them all game too.

>>719088536 (OP)
Nadella did it first with windows and windows phone, it's just a continuation of the trend. It's not a platform anymore

Odd how OP choses to not post the pick with helldivers 2 going to xbox on the same day.
Console wars are over, you lost, move on.

>>719091362
The problem is that this console fanboy feels threatened.
The end of console wars is the end of consoles themselves: game exclusives are the only reason for console existance, as consoles have nothing better than PC from every point of view.

>>719088536 (OP)
best rename that shit to TEARS of war

>>719092016
ease of convenience, that's it
and no matter how you try to spin it building a computer is too complicated for the majority of people, they are stupid as fuck

Imagine being a console fanboy in current year

>>719088536 (OP)
PlayStation did the same thing, you're both cucks

>>719089138
seeing lost planet on the 360 in 2006 was incredible. That was the first game that truly made me feel “next gen”

>>719092131
Yea, but beside this initial convenience, then is all downhill.

Anyway, still waiting Steam to decompress GoW. The curse of an HDD user.
I am still using an old SSD that I want to keep exclusively for the OS.

>>719090506
the Dreamcast was completely discontinued by this point so it’s a false equivalence

You're able to play gaymes in 2025 on spinning rust? I thought they would refuse because it's too slow to stream in form. Damn.

>Treating games like appliances
"I need it to last a long time to be worth money"

"Its aged/expired."

Isn't this game like 2 decades old lmao

I've heard in passing from enlightened individuals ("schizos" in wretched slave goyspeak) talk about something like "the cult of the new" or whatever.
I think it's referring to full Orwellianism like writing new history but I'm too lazy to research.

This image is an abomination. Outright blasphemy back in 2009. What an embarrassment Xbox is now.

I don't have problems. It's a 7200rpm.

But many new games are indeed demanding, although games having bad performance it's usually a result of bad optimization, most of the times due to an engine like UE5.
Devs have even tried fake optimizations like rendering internally on a smaller scale and then upscaling.

And now glazers will come to say that I don't know shit and it's not UE5, but how come that old games looked great, and performed great? How come that no one can do something good with UE5?

This video gave me some answers. It's informative, take a look. I already knew Nanite and Lumen for negative reasons much before hahaha

This video also wants to point out that UE5 looks bad because it's not rendering realism in the first place.

This is now a Don Mattrick apology thread.


I am sorry for doubting your prescient vision, Mr Mattrick. Xbox is lost without you. I, we were all wrong.

>game exclusives are the only reason for console existance
This hasn't been true for literally like 2+ decades
I understand PC fats don't get it, but it really isn't about exclusives.
I play on PC btw.

>Playstation drops exclusive games for good
>open world wokeslop and moviegame crap, not even the good ones like Ico, not even the Demon's Souls demake
>Xbox drops exclusive games for good
>Ninja Gaiden II still stranded on 360 and other Xbox consoles, even the Gears and Halo touch-ups are fucked
Monkey's fucking paw. I'm never asking for anything again because the companies will fuck it up and underdeliver in ways I can't even imagine.
