Has this nigga done anything good for xbox? He unironically killed it

>>723299592 (OP)
what could go wrong?

In all fairness to him, it was this guy who OBLITERATED the Xbox's reputation.

But Phil has also been in charge long enough to where things should have turned around by now so.....

>>723300621
At least there were games coming out when this fag was in charge

>>723300621
if Sony could manage to turn the PS3 around in 3 years in some of their worst financial years Phil has no excuse with 10 years and loads of Microsoft money on reserve

>>723299726
he gave some game devs the freedom to make the games how they want and that led to them going in circles not getting anything done until they had to be cancelled. it was really exciting at first to think that microsoft was giving all these devs freedom to make the game they wanted then those devs ruined it for everyone and probably ruined gaming for the next 50 years too now that microsoft thinks devs cant be left to make the game without their input.

>>723299726
nigga xbox died when bungie stopped making halo

>>723300621
Xbone outsold Wii U and Gamecube. Switch outsold PS4.

>>723299726
backwards compatibility and that's it

>>723299726
as if someone else would have done better

>>723301746
I would have

>>723301746
I could have.
>games are exclusive to the xbox, pc ports, if they ever come will be five years after it releases on xbox. Games will never be ported to ps or nintendo
>continue refining and adding titles to BC
Tada. You now have an incentive to buy the console.

>>723301920
>Incentive
Normalfag console purchasing incentive was always "all your friends have it", even when the console is unreleased the marketing is still "all your friends have it". Their target audience isn't sentient.
The only thing he fucked up was giving the completely non-sentient marketing pitch to people who were arguably sentient, and those arguable sentients promptly turned around and told all of the non-sentients that "none of your friends will have this", which drove them towards Playstation's "all of your friends have it" marketing.
Just look at the numbers for any so-called system seller and see it dwarfed by normalfag yearly sportsball games.
The only thing they are concerned with is keeping up the charade of possessing a crowd of people who play games on it, which conversely means that exclusives are actually bad, since fewer people will talk about the game. They don't need exclusives, they just need their logo to be the biggest one in multiplat adverts.

>>723301746
>fire all indians and womans
Xbox is saved

>>723301920
>five years
i would quit multi plat AAA gaming out of spite and stick with my 90s jank and indy games

>>723303006
I also said “if.” Most wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t announce if they were. I would word all announcements to imply they are permanently xbox exclusives.

>>723299726
Microsoft has intentionally killed XBox by releasing everything on PC as well. Good for general gaming, but absolutely suicidal move for XBox itself.

>>723302708
This is closer to the truth than people want to admit. Indians don't give a shit about the craft. They give a shit about getting out of India, and if that means pretending to care about video games or the cloud or whatever, they will do that. Women don't give a shit about the craft. At best, they give a shit about making a Their Game(tm), but more often they give a shot about living with no man until the last possible moment.

It hasn't even been a week and BF6 has lost half it players.
This shit will be completely dead by the end of the month, right when the new cowadoody is releasing.

>>723300621
It's been a decade, and the Xbone at least had games

I don't know what I expected

all multiplats

>>723303692
thanks for reminding me Crackdown 3 existed, i almost forgot what a train of dissapointment that game was from the first reveal
>CRACKDOWN 3 WILL FEATURE FULL SCALE DESTRUCTION WITH THE POWER OF THE CLOUD
>Okay its only for multiplayer but STILL COOL RIGHT
>Okay the multiplayer wont feature the entire map but closed off levels but the destruction is still coming guys look Terry Crews!
>Okay the multiplayer levels are all this weird VR setting because we couldnt figure out how to make this work and every Xbone model was shitting itself but uhhh TERRY CREWS GUYS
guess the destruction physics for Red Faction Guerilla is lost technology now

>>723303320
because xbox lost in the hardware game to sony and nintendo

>>723303692
Wait, the master chief collection is 11 years old already..?

>>723306142
yep

I'm gettin on in years laddie.

>>723303692
Still makes me laugh that they unironically changed the name to just Gears

>>723299592 (OP)
This dude is cursed.
He bought half the industry and didnt manage to squeeze a single good game out of them.

>>723307289
i still remember the hope posting here when all of the acquisitions took place
>Xbox just saved gaming
>Bethesda finally has a publisher that makes sure the games work!
>Phil is gonna hand Fallout to Obsidian!
>Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3+4 will finally happen!
>Phil is gonna save Raven from the CODmines and make great games!
oh how hopefull everyone was

Black Ops 7 will outsell BF6

dont delude yourself

>>723307985
You did get 3+4, anon!

>>723308205
if only it was before Vicarious Visions got banished to the Blizzard mines

I wonder how the gaming landscape would look like if Microsoft didn't jump the shark with Bestheda and Activision but kept bringing smaller studios under their wing to keep the game pass mines alive.

Console market is shrinking, theres only room for 1, and it would never been Xbox. MS should just focus on publishing and PC

>>723308662
>Console market is shrinking
Quite the opposite, console going up and PC going down since 2018

>>723300621
if there wasnt bunch of jeets who cant afford internet and 500lb retards who cant get off their fat asses to restart the wifi screaming in his ear, he couldve turned the sinking ship around. He was unironically too ahead of his time. He basically made a PS5 with games. Hell, PS5 cant even play TV and games at the same time like Xbone

>buys cod
>turns it into fortnite for movement autists
>$70 game with f2p monetization
>why does no one want to buy our games????

>>723308909
the always online is one thing but surely you arnt defending that paperweight camera being included with every Bone right?
that piece of shit was the reason the Xbone was 100$ more expensive than the PS4 while being less powerfull

>>723299592 (OP)
hahahha, i told this stupid faggot that porting exclusives was basicly giving them away on PC. He didn't listen now his gaybox is dead. Retard.

>>723308892
Your pic has consoles down more than PC...

We need to go back to the past and tell Microsoft to name their consoles Xbox, Xbox 2, Xbox 3 and Xbox 4. Guaranteed they would still be alive today.

>>723309273
Look up the previous years you ignoramus

>>723309139
I agree the approach was retarded. If he just didnt try so hard people wouldve bought it.

But to be fair, that camera was probably mandated by the higher-ups so they could spy on the population (ie the push to appeal to all groups of people not just gamers with the whole "home entertainment system" marketing)
