I just don’t understand how Xbox mismanaged everything with a solid online service, with tons of games that work across generations of systems. It’s better than PlayStation, but they keep goofing it up. There is no reason for Xbox to not be the premier system, I guess except through mismanagement and game studio mismanagement

I'm guessing Microsoft is taking the stock back and issuing credits to the retailers, because if said retailers are left holding the bag discount binning remaining stock, they're not going to be too keen on working with Microsoft next gen as far as carrying any future Xbox consoles( I don't see the point of another Xbox, there's no market demand or hype for a new one, but I digress....). That's the only thing that makes sense to me because as you said, why wouldn't these B & M's just slash prices?

One thing is very obvious though, MS has obviously stopped production on Xbox Series consoles. I just don't get the angle of raising the hardware prices. Wide market demand for the Series consoles dried up with the original pricing so who the fuck is going to buy one at the new MSRPs?!

Killer Instinct? Everything after had later ports/remasters that were also on PC alongside. They effectively destroyed any semblance of value their IPs once had with multiplating them, and they were already stumbling with being exclusive with years of shitty devs handling them lol

Concord was a pretty by-the-books failure of a live service game with the only real differentiating factor being that it had a lot of money pumped into it, because Sony is delusional and thinks "AAA live service game that was designed by committee from top to bottom" has a market

Xbone was a multitude of factors ranging from the firing of successful marketing staff and branch heads, to forcing the Kinect and always-online mere moments after Edward Snowden leaks, to trying to force an always-online console and denigrating the previous gen

Simple fact of the matter is Xbox was never a profitable brand, but all the factors surrounding the Xbone ensured it would never hit equilibrium and find footing

Backwards compatibility was a win. Also early gamepass was a good deal. The launch year exclusives of the xbone were better than ps4s output also imo. I think they could have recovered had it not been for the activision acquisition and promising every game day one on gamepass.

PS3 launch was worse. The difference being that Sony locked in and MS just doesn’t give a shit. Xbone’s biggest failure wasn’t related to the console itself, it was MS deciding to curtail all console exclusives to make the box as useless as possible.

People cared about Sega consoles because they had exclusive games. However exclusives have never moved systems (see: Wii U) and people gravitate towards a combination of cheapest with multiplat machine that my friends have.
XSX has none of the appeals. It has no exclusives, it has no installbase for momentum and it never received an installbase because it was content to match the PS5 in price. Most people owned a PS4 so most people bought a PS5.

lifetime xbox fag here: some of the other things xbox had going for it were the better controller, dedicated servers for multiplayer games, better functioning party chat, and even mixer was cool because it was 1 button streaming that had better quality and latency than twitch. literally all of those things have been gone for years. xbox has nothing

And from the looks of things it hasn't been popular with anyone in the last ten years. I think the last time I saw someone play an Xbox console of any description was an Xbone at a drug dealer's house in like 2014.

this isnt a new thing happening. that article is trying to imply its recent, thus related to the game pass price increase, because its a hot topic to get clicks with right now.

the reason retailers (mostly walmart) are getting rid of xbox retail space is because it was unpopular to begin with, and more importantly, pushing digital only. not just game pass, but digital. a lot of their games are not physical. and even more are on disc but have nothing but a download key on that disc. walmart isnt going to waste space on a product that is not only unpopular, but actively seeks to undermine their business. also its happening over time. your local walmart and target probably have xbox retail space still.

probably cutting aspects of their operation that dont matter to their business. other than Nintendo that purposely sells outdated hardware for an outdated experience in order to profit off hardware sales, sony and microsoft lose money selling hardware.
Gaming is such a huge industry it wouldn't make sense to abandon Xbox as a service. Especially when they are owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft is effectively a tool of the American government and Video games can be a great propaganda tool. They own enough studios and gamepass is apparently profitable that money shouldnt be an issue so maybe they dont need hardware for this generation. Everyone who wanted one has one. Sony's cult is already invested in a different platform. And in a digital market, is there a point to losing money on consoles when your Operating system is basically a monopoly. Sony can lose money making consoles and people can buy xbox games. Or you can build a PC or wait for Xbox to release a limited run of another console.

personally this barely matters to me. the last physical game i purchased was battlefield 4, because it came bundled with a launch Xbox One. And then i switched to PC when spencer said Halo was coming to PC. i never got the feeling that xbox players cared about loyalty to corporations in the same way sony's audience appears to be. Perhaps they realize this. that their "fans" will buy the games, so why make the hardware.

what would be interesting is a backwards compatibility Xbox in the future. a physical console that can play every disc from older consoles and has access to their old digital library. But everything going forward would be on pc/multiplat. such a console would be cheap to make, and profitable.

At a guess, neither one has a "fun" image anymore.
Playstation as a brand is just "mature" moviegame slop for Millennials, and the Xbox is still, after all these years, the "bro" brand.
Nintendo still has things that look like videogames, and maintained their IPs well enough that they're recognisable to most people of any age.

The Xbox One PR debacle was one battle, the second battle was Xbone being a 900p sub 30FPS console. Elden Ring runs at like 540p-720p on Xbone with enemies animating at 10 frames and the engine chugging at 15-22FPS. That's the Xbox One hardware that they were stuck making games for, even the Xbox One X. I don't believe that it was an insurmountable challenge to recover within last gen, I would've offered a trade in program to take in original Xbox One hardware to replace with Xbone X for free with proof of purchase. Phase out the original Xbone/Kinect by 2015 completely, having the Xbone X could've made a larger difference in the perception of the brand. There was zero reason to buy Xbone ones compare to PS4.

Not when they're all released under the same branding but with different letters and the systems had tweaked internals that it noticeably affects game performance. It's not like with the Genesis where you had a second revision but with slightly degraded sound, or the PS3 where the last revision removed PS2 hardware back compat. At the end of the day the games you played on any revision all ran the same. With Xbone and its revisions you had notable differences in performance that it may as well have been different consoles.

Go digital go broke, you dont build a brand by taking what xbox once was and then shitting all over the fanbase by removing all physical releases and making everyone use gamepass and digital only downloads.

All they had to do was release every single game in their library on a bluray disc compressed as a 1.0 version and give people fucking physical. Sponsor indie devs with money for physical game released on xbox as limited drops of physical games. It would cost NOTHING with the money they have. They net profit fucking billions each year.

This is what killed them and this what killed nintendo and the switch 2. The switch 2 is dead, nobody wants keycards, nobody wants to buy the switch 2

>b-b-but muh steam is just online licenses its the same as xbox gamepass how come they get a pass!!
They shouldn't, gaben is a fat greedy jew peddling the same digital poison, but there is some upside why steam is better.
1. they give you the game files, which can be easily cracked and you own the files
2. theres modding and the workshop
3. There are cheap games, although today its getting less and less

Steam might end up the same way as xbox if they do more DRM and stop giving sales.

another schizo article with no source, nice, enjoy your baby peasant console and paying 6 gorillion per month to view AIPAC-approved DRM content on your centralized shithole platform

pc gaming has "died" more times than i care to count over the last 3 decades, it'll be here long after you're dead as well

Calling Staten the "writer of Halo" grossly undersells what he did for that franchise. "Co-creator" would be more apt.

It's kind of poetic that Xbox carried the mantle of the Dreamcast after that console died out only to leave the market with even less of a whimper.

Is Xbox really sinking or is this just reaching like snoys have done with posting the X-Bro skeletons for years on end? don't get me wrong I know there's a real crisis regarding mass cancellations of gamepass. But I haven't seen any evidence indicating that this is what's happening in retail stores. I went in to EB games a couple of days ago and saw everything Xbox still up. I went into numerous retail stores in my country (at least 4 others) that sells video games, I never saw anything xbox being removed. So either they're all delayed or it's not happening.

This image is just ultimate contrarianism. Then again Arkane fans desperately don't want to acknowledge their beloved industry veteran studio made Redfall. It's all apparently Phil Spencer's fault in that scenario that he put too much trust in them in which they screwed up because of that. So Phil Spencer still has a flawed management style, but the blame is not squarely on him at the same time.

Even though MS said it isn't true all you have to do is go to any relevant store that sells video games and take a look at the Xbox section. It's always depressing it's the smallest space that might have a few new releases and mostly shit that's been collecting cobwebs for years. Meanwhile the Nintendo and Playstation sections still look pretty healthy only mogged by the funko pop stand.

This is what happens when you train your audience not to buy your games or consoles
