It was a wild ride
S
>>722464302>literal who twitter nigger commenting on a rumor from a literal whoi hate nu-/v/ so much its unreal
Noone uses xbox
>>722464302The best thing Phil Spencer did was kill xbox
WHO THE FUCK IS TIMDOG? How is this guy different from Colteastwood?
>>722464302What the fuck could a new console even offer? Modern graphics have hit diminishing returns hard so the games on new consoles would look no different from the current ones
Lol. Lmao even But is this timdog guy even reliable?
>>722464578>I'm never going to upgrade my hardware
>>722464515Brother Timdog is legit, he even was friends with Phil and he leaked stuff like Helldivers coming to Xbox, he really has sources.
>>722464626Not sure if this is sarcasm honestly
it's over...xbox has lost timdog again...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrvE3B5Rz6AReminder that this one single presentation was so bad that it killed the entire Xbox brand and obliterated the goodwill that the 360 established. This one presentation kicked off the slow death of Microsoft's (literally the biggest most profitable company in the entire world at this point btw) entire gaming division that would last for the next 12 years. Boy, I sure hope whoever was responsible for this got fired!
Any chud-leaning billionaires to swoop in and liberate some of their IPs?
>>722464302All they had to do was make Banjo-Threeie.
>>722464743Not sarcasm, a lot of these Xbox twitter celebrities were friends with Phill and even flew out to Microsoft headquarters.Phill Spencer and the rest of the Xbox team was quite unprofessional, consol worrior and way more involved with the xbox community on twitter and Reddit in the past. Phil even had this whole gamer persona as well to try and be more relatable. This also showed in xbox's nuads which were also due to ther factors like feminism and increasing female dominance in leadership positions on Xbox. Which watered down all of the matcho adverts and made the videogames brands more gaaaayyyy and loose their edge.
Good riddance
>phil Spencer was literally on the BRAP podcast and refused to give out his phone number to a xbotHoly shit you can't make this shit up. Omg
>>722465072No that didn't kill it you retard.When don matrick left it was in a better position then this.People will blame the sun and the moon and not Phill Spencer even now.Suck a cock
>>722465072That was the death of Xbox but gamers started to check out when Microsoft pushed the Kinect focus hard at the end of the 360 gen. Xbox died when Peter Moore left, the Kinect focus for the late 360/early Xbone killed it.
>>722465072Competent leadership could have bounced this back in 3 or 4 years (PS3, Wii U to Switch)
Thank fucking God.
>>722464598Halo Infinite was better than Horizon Forbidden West to be fair
>>722464302Why did they buy half the industry again?
>>722465072Do you think we will ever get an official documentary about how they allowed this to happen?
>>722465246>but gamers started to check out when Microsoft pushed the Kinect focus hard at the end of the 360Not really, the kinect sold 30 million or so units and boosted the Xbox 360 sales figures.Though the bigger issue is that they didn't properly market segment the Xbox console and this destroyed it's identity along with putting females in high decision making positions which made the console loose it's edge.They should have just split Xbox into 2, a Nintendo competitor and a playstation competitor, a white console (portable) and a black one (home console).
>>722465384To crash ot with no survivors
>>722465384To put their games on the xbox gamepass
>>722465446That didn't kill xbox, the PS4 and Xbox one sold the same amount of units that year.They DIDN'T MAKE ANY GAME KF THE YEAR GAMES DURING THE XBONE ARA AND PORTED EVERYTHING TO PC WAY TOO EARLY
>>722465072This was 9/11, JFK Assassination, Jamestown Massacre, Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing all wrapped in one bag. Not even fucking Sega didn't shot themselves in the foot that hard.
>>722464302that's what they get for trying to undermine japan's industry in the 360 daysand nothing of value was lost
>>722464302Oh noooo...Anyway.Consoles as a whole deserve to die. Looking forward to it.
>>722465446Microsoft themselves did made a documentary
>>722465460>Not really, the kinect sold 30 million or so units and boosted the Xbox 360 sales figures.I know a lot of people that bought a PS3 after Dark Souls dropped so they could go back and play Demon's Souls because Snoys wouldn't shut up about how DeS was better than DaS. Those people went on to buy PS4s over Xbox Ones because Microsoft didn't put out any real killer games in the last few years because they focused on Kinect games instead and that alienated core gamers.The casuals didn't come for the Xbox One because of the price, the core gamers didn't come because they got burned at the end of the previous gen and Sony was putting out some late gen bangers like TLoU.
i unironically believe it was making day 1 pc ports that killed them
>>722465379It's comparing apples to oranges. A online multiplayer based game vs a single player cinematic title. It's like trying to compare an RTS to a visual novel. Like wtf.
>>722465553>look at my made up numbersno
time to sell the business to a saudi-led fundanyone interested?
>>722465072The cracks were forming already when Xbox 360 entered its Kinect and Metro dashboard era
The Xbox has no console lmao
The greatest achievement Microsoft ever pulled was tricking its massive audience into believing Phil Spencer would deliver no matter what. He's been in the position for over a decade and there are still people defending him as some sort of savior of the brand.
>>722465379It's like comparing shit to diarrhea
I think it's time we move on from consoles and have xbox, sony and nintendo release all their games on PC instead
>>722465446>>722465680https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1h--43R8Oo
>>722465690>The casuals didn't come for the Xbox One because of the price, the core gamers didn't come because they got burned at the end of the previous gen and Sony was putting out some late gen bangers like TLoU.The kinect still boosted the sales of the Xbox 360. And you aren't really disagreeing with what I said.Though the bigger issue is that they didn't properly market segment the Xbox console and this destroyed it's identity along with putting females in high decision making positions which made the console loose it's edge.Realistically they would have tried to split up the console and make 2 versions one for casuals and one for hardcore gamers.
LOL
>>722465238>brap podcast
>>722465512Redfall was shit before the acquisition. They knew it was going to be shit which is why they released it instead of delaying it
All that's left are Sony and Nintendo, and with the way things are going, this may very well be the last console generation.
>>722465072Xbox died with the blades
>>722465801>Made up numbersYea nah, basically in the same ballpark.
>>722465384Data collection.
>>722465947I could see Sony dropping out but Nintendo is definitely going to keep going
>>722464302Reminder, the xbox 360 was 20 years ago.
>>722465947Gaming is just going to be early access indieshit on PC & Tendies getting excited about getting fucked in the ass with overpriced ports for the nth time. Oh and phone gacha.
Can Microsoft just give the Banjo Kazooie franchise back to Nintendo? For crying out loud.
>>722466056Basically it is already this. The indie glaze is a bit too much
>>722465072It absolutely did not, a decade of ignoring their core audience in favor of chasing trannies, not making games, and getting rid of exclusives did that.
>>722464302Bu-bu-bu tendies. Someone make a anti-Nintendo thread, please.
>>722464302Trump needs to send Nadella to El Salvador and subsidize hardware to get an xbox in every household in america. Gamepass will be $100/month though.
lol
>>722465898
>>722464302MS will launch a Steam/Origin competitor service almost immediately. Probably will even call it XBox Live for shits, giggles, and brand recognition.
>>722465704Day 1 PC ports of WHAT?! Microsoft team had none existent output for pretty much the entire Xbox One generation and a majority Series. They're finally pushing some titles this late into the generation at a consistent pace and they're all duds.In the time it took for Team Ninja to put out Hellblade 2, Capcom pushed out 4 Resident Evil games. What the fuck is Microsoft doing?
They should have left two generations ago
>>722466094Yea most people like to blame don matrick but even then it barely did anything in terms of actual sales >>722465990, the fact that they didn't make banger exclusives and ported everything to pc was a bigger sin.Seriously porting everything to pc was I think a major turning point they should have waited halfway till the Xbox series consoles to do that.
>>7224661194th time will definitely be the one that turns things around.
>>722466119Isn't that was the Xbox app is supposed to be?
>>722465072Fun times
>>722466147Forza horizon halo etc. and they were pushing out games like quantum break back during the xbonerThey shouldn't have ported games to pc as that did. Make them loose a significant amount of people including me. If Forza horizon was an Xbox exclusive I wouldn't have bought a steam deck or any pc handheld.
Because this is the console. The console market is dying.
>>722466119Xbox/ Windows store is already on every W10/W11 PC
>>722465919One of those games that should have been canceled. Conceived by people completely out of touch with the actual gaming audience. It's why I don't think going full third party publisher will necessarily be much of a success either.
the new xbox releases this month actually
>>722466119They've already tried that how many times?
>>722464302M-Maybe the saudi's will buy?
>>722466147>Team NinjaNinja Theory, aka the DmC devs. Reminder that under Phil Spencer, Microsoft actually spent money on acquiring Ninja Theory. If you're wondering why Xbox is dead, decisionmaking like this is what caused it.
>>722466086Microsoft apparently cutting a deal with the studio that remake Crash and Spyro for a Banjo game.
>>722465889>The kinect still boosted the sales of the Xbox 360.With casuals that didn't follow them to the next console, like I said.>And you aren't really disagreeing with what I said.I'm not opposed to the idea of segmenting their console, it could have potentially worked out for them but they'd need to actually release games at a steady pace instead of letting dev teams take forever to finish.
>>722466306No, but the console market is dying. The Video Game Console market is shrinking, getting older and getting more affluent.>US households with a $100,000+ income now make up 43% of video game hardware sales, a rise from 36% just a few years ago.>18 – 24-year-olds only accounted for 3% of video game hardware purchases in the year ending July 2025, which is down from 10% for the same period ending July 2022. >The average age of console players in 2024 was 27.9 years old. That’s up from 24.2 years old in 2018.>Consoles are generating significantly more revenue than ever before.>PS5 unit sales is currently tracking slightly behind PS4, while Xbox Series S and X significantly lag Xbox One.>Last year in the US, 12 million console units were sold, the lowest figure in eight years>by the end of 2025, the number of active devices for the PS5/Xbox Series generation will be 14 million behind what the PS4/Xbox One achieved during the same point in their lifecycle. The company estimates that gap will widen to 20 million by the end of 2026.Why is this happening?>The cost of consoles are continuing to rise during a time when families are growing concerned about food prices and tariffs.>Consoles are not the entry-level game devices anymore, with tablets and smartphones becoming the typical ‘starter’ device for younger games. This poses a challenge for console makers on how to ‘upgrade’ customers from those devices to dedicated games machines.>And with the rising cost of game development, we’re witnessing a drop in exclusives and an increased multiplatform focus from publishers. Even Xbox and PlayStation are releasing games on other devices (including PC). This potentially weakens the appeal of these machines.https://archive.is/mkTWV
>>722466283Seems like too much of a focus on pushing consoles, without much focus on games for said consoles.
thank you phil spencer! paying 60 billion for cod was so worth it for killing xbawx
So what does that mean for my 500 Xbox games collection?
>>722466398Maybe. I just think they were fucking retarded.
>>722466298>If Forza horizon was an Xbox exclusive I wouldn't have bought a steam deck or any pc handheld.Maybe not you, but if Forza was an Xbox exclusive, I just wouldn't be playing Forza. Just like I just didn't play Halo, or Gears of War, or any of the Xbox games because I didn't care about having an Xbox. Even if they made TES exclusive to the Xbox console exclusive, I'd just end up not playing TES then.
>>722464598It's interesting what he said about presentations. It makes sense why Xbox/Playstation was obsessed with this but I think you could see the cracks in Playstation back then. They had EXCLUSIVE Japanese games and they didn't show them off in E3, Persona, Yakuza, etc. Just didn't care to show them which shows a similar mindset to Microsoft. It's all about the shitty Western games nobody fucking plays and then Western journos give them inflated scores to try to keep them relevant.
>>722464302All they had to do is to eliminate online subscriptions to keep the hardware market alive.
>>722466392It is obviously dying.If you actually checked the stats consoles peaked at the Wii and has been a slow burn in users ever since.Also the fact that the average Xbox/ps gamer on YouTube looks middle aged instead of young says it all.The ps5 is also getting sales boosted by Xbox gamer bleed if Xbox had stronger sales they would have also seen a bit more significant decline.
>>722466376>With casuals that didn't follow them to the next console, like I said.because there were no games for kinect.you know why there were no games for kinect? because almost no one had a kinect.you know why almost no one had a kinect? because retards complained that kinect was compulsorily bundled with xbox one.selling the console without kinect is what killed the xbox.
>>722464578>What the fuck could a new console even offer?Maybe start cramming them into steam deck-like portable configurations. Then they can start making gains 'good for a portable' for a decade or two
It makes sense bad news are still coming because Phil is still there, people wanted him out of xbox months ago but you can't put someone new in his place to eat all this shit
Why don't people want Nintendo or Sony to fail as much as they want Microsoft to? By people I mean these """people""" online. I haven't talked to anyone in person who shares these opinions.
>>722466351I keep fucking that up. Thank you for the correction. I'm sorry for soiling one of your studios Koei Tecmo.
>>722466392>tablets and smartphones becoming the typical ‘starter’ device for younger gamesthis shit is so sad
>>722466626After seeing the game key cards and price increases, I definitely want Nintendo to fail. Problem is, Sony is pretty shit too, just not as shit as the others.
>>722466626You miss the whole Concord, Marathon, GoY debacles?
>>722466438>360 and One gamessent to the void>Series gamesyou should also own them on the PC windows store if they are play anywhere, otherwise sent to the void
>>722466472All of the other 3d open word racers are mid as hell. Dunno how you would cope.>>722466554Yea this was an issue. Imo it would have been smarter for Xbox to have split up the company into 2, one a cheaper sub brand that is a Nintendo competitor and another which is mean to be a playstation competitor.I played the Xbox 360 normie games on my Xbox one and the potential was there 100%, those avatars really could have been as iconic as miis.They could have actually challenged Nintendo if they tried. Not to mention fi they weren't regarded they would have had a bigger strategic partnership with pallworld.
>>722466626Because is American and Microsoft has bad reputation since the 90s
>>722466751This might be what it takes for people to wake up to digital games. If MS sends entire digital libraries to the phantom zone, people might just wake up and realize that it can happen for any platform renting you 1s and 0s
>>722466438Most of them are sent to the void unless they are playing anywhere.Microsoft doesn't want to get sued to death Developers already are willing to use if they find that Microsoft will make native Xbox one games playable on pc.
>>722466438Playable on XCloud as long as you stay subbed :^)
>>722466702>just not as shit as the others.>raised PSN prices for literally no reason (PSN+ now costs $80 a year)>sold the PS5 Pro for $750 with the disc tray as a separate purchase>said disc tray requires online activation to work>was on the forefront of raising game prices to $70, well before MS and Nintendo followed suit
>>722464302Xbox sisters... Maybe Elon Musk could buy Xbox? Please give hope T_T
>>722466626Xbox is easy to shit on since nobody buys their consoles, so you don't need to deal with people defending it. The real fun is when attention is on Nintendo and Sony. Mental gymnastics for them is always entertaining to watch.
>>722464302Gee do these companies think we will all just stay and keep taking their products up the ass when jacking up the prices intentionally? SHOCKER
>>722466392>tariff meme brought up againit's just a scopegoat for inflation being out of controlpeople have less and less purchasing power all the time, of course luxuries like a shitty walled garden nogaems box is low on the priority list
fake as hell
>>722465072A lot of that wasn’t even strictly Xbox related, not sure why the compilation included it.
>>722466918SADYou sound like a boomer
>>722466438maybe it'll be worth something when it becomes retro. but i doubt it!
>>722464302I HURT MYSELF TODAY
>>722466626I think with normalfags it really takes them a long time to catch up. They don't see the news or know what's going on like the 2-3 price increases, several price increases to PS+, can't make games plus all the woke crap. Only really started to see normalfags hating Playstation starting PS5 and seeing them share the no games memes online but still. Once that shit starts and that stench is on Playstation it's really hard to get off, Sony has been clear they're thinking about "price adjustments"
>>722466626since the wii u I've been wishing for nintendo to be bought by microsoft
>>722464302Thread theme:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr5emjVn_8Q
>>722464302Now that Xbox is done, will all the Xbox gamers now come to the PlayStation?
>>722464302Cool. They should release the source code, hardware documents, and all the encryption keys that have been fucking with emulation all these years.
>>722465152Yooka Replaylee comes out this week.
>>722466880>raised PSN prices for literally no reason (PSN+ now costs $80 a year)I don't buy PS+>sold the PS5 Pro for $750 with the disc tray as a separate purchaseI wouldn't buy it, it's a worthless upgrade>said disc tray requires online activation to workThat's the worst thing they have done, but not as bad as game key cards. I don't know enough about physical on Xbox to know how many of their games work off the disc alone. If the CMOS battery dying unpairs the disc drive, then Sony is as bad as MS, but I have never seen anyone test this despite CMOS being key to problems on PS3-4>was on the forefront of raising game prices to $70, well before MS and Nintendo followed suitI don't recall who shot first on that
>>722464302>likely no new Xbox>Switch 2 will be counted as 9th gen for Reasons™So are we going to have a console generation with literally only one console? Who else would bother stepping in at this point?
>>722467092>moving from one ass fucking company to another.No thanks.
>>722467283>likely no new Xbox>>722466337
>>722465512Microsoft could have "won" any press conference they wanted with a Banjo 3 reveal, and Banjo 3 would have been one of the cheapest games they could possibly make for modern consoles.
There should not be another console gen for potentially decades. Just make games for PS5, XboneSeX and PC for decades as they take like 5+ years to develop anyway. There is no justification for graphics getting any better. It adds nothing. Maybe in like 2035 start thinking about it.
>>722467164if you hard reset your playstation you need to relicense your disc drive. All it will take is power going out while console is on and that's it
>>722467164>That's the worst thing they have done, but not as bad as game key cardsSony defense force to the rescue kek
>>722467164>$70It was actually 2k I think who did the $70 game first. Then Nintendo tried to push the $80 game recently with Microsoft following soon afterwards.
>>722464302>comes into console gaming>ruins everything by introducing and normalizing pay to play online>ruins everything by normalizing paying for cosmetic DLC>introduces a horde of normies into gaming, further enshittifying games>shits self, does a backflip into the graveThanks XBox, you created nothing, ruined everything, and fucked up all of gaming forever, you stupid, worthless cunts. Just as expected of Microsoft.
>>722467390Didn't even read the rest of the post
>>722465072And yet, all of that stuff is normal in consoles today. It was all good shit! Stupid fucks who bitched about it didn't know what they wanted.
>>722467419>ruins everything by normalizing paying for cosmetic DLCDLC started with Dreamcast
>>722467092That's what PS fanatics believe. The reality is they'll probably just not buy any console or move to PC/Cloud.
>>722467340>literally runs WindowsErm, doesn't count.
>>722467283Sony should just put the PS6 on hold. It's not like there's that many PS5 exclusive games to begin with. We're still getting PS4 releases.
>the meme became reality
>>722467467Dreamcast was already dying, it had 0 impact on that and you fucking know it.
>>722466352Give those two back to Sony as well.
>>722467092The ones that cared moved ages ago the tenants will probably quit gaming all together or move to steam /PC
>>722467502Cope. Sega started most of the shit you blamed on Xbox. Hell paid online was even older.
>>722467372But the Switch 2 happened.
>>722467479>literally runs Windowsjust like all other xboxes.you don't get to pick what is an xbox or not.
>>722467568Seethe more, this is all XBox's fault for popularizing and forcing this shit.
>>722467383You mean a full system reset, not a hard reset, which is just turning off the console, unplugging for 30 seconds and turning back on.I don't know if losing power while it's on forces a full system reset though. It required a database repair sometimes on PS3.
>>722467614>Lets Sony and Nintendo get away with it.
>>722467383Power going out wouldn't mean a factory reset. That's what needed to force a firmware update to be downloaded again. At most, the database will need to be rebuilt. It's a one time activation thing done because of dmca laws.
>>722467585Nintendo is the only exception as their hardware is still bad so they need to get to PS5XboneSeX level. Which is why I didn't mention them.
>>722465238>phil Spencer was literally on the BRAP podcastImagine the smell.
>>722467694But PC gamers tell me PS5XboneSeX is shit hardware.
>>722466874>xcloud is just xbox series X hardware in a data center
No xbox gamers won't get a switch. There is no sense of community there, no achievements, no Looking For Group, nothing
>>722467593Hard to believe we had portable Xboxes all the way back in the beginning :^)
>>722467794Playstation doesn't have any exclusives, sorry bro.
>>722465553>>722465990Phil Spencer himself said PS4 outsold Xbone by as much as 8 to 1. https://youtu.be/O1h--43R8Oo?t=819
>>722464302What are the odds the FTC forces them to keep selling consoles to prevent a foreign monopoly?
>>722464302its.....joever
>>722467094are you talking about all xbox consoles? because i cant think of any xbone or xsex games anyone would give a shit to emulate
>>722467763I am a PC gamer and I'm here to tell you they're just trying to get in a dick measuring contest with hardware. If I didn't have to buy new GPU upgrades I wouldn't. The only reason they are needed is due to devs who want to keep adding more detail and filters that don't make the games better.
>>722466626They can suck my dick too, but I don't think it'll be easy for them to fail now. Yet arrogance might find a way.
>>722466626I want them all to fail so no competitors can enter the market without being immediately pushed out by the game console triopoly.
>>722467940If devs keep adding more shit that needs more hardware, they're gonna need new consoles to run their games. Also, stop buying upgrades for shit games, dumbass.
Lowkey, I'm worried about my digital Xbox library, I have 150 games on it, mostly backwards compatible games
Xbrothers... I dont feel so good.Its been in a sad sorry state for a long while. The games that are available are genuinely just absolute dogshit. Like I just have no interest in playing any of them any more. The last games I played a lot were Chivalry 2 (still mismanaged to shit) and then I beat the new doom but thats it. Everything else is trash. Bf2042 sucks, halo infinite sucks, new gears of war sucks... they are all shit. BF6 and Gears E day are the last 2 i know about coming up that are of interest but yeah i jsut played all these on gamepass and last console i had was xbox one X... They really blew it
>>722466785playstation is more american than xbox these days
Does this mean no more xbox or what
>>722467665Oh they're not above blame either, but the problem is, XBox was successful at it. Dreamcast wasn't, it flopped and died. XBox being successful is what made the other assholes (ie: Sony and Nintendo) do the same fucking thing. That's the problem with these corporations, EVERYTHING is slippery slope, but they're also risk averse. They won't attempt something properly until they see someone else succeed.XBox's success directly contributed to the great enshittification of gaming, period. You're not dodging this one you fucks, Microsoft getting into gaming was raw cancer to the whole thing.S to SHIT on XBox's grave.
>>722468061*so new competitors
I'm expecting terrible news on Monday.
>>722467462Microsoft shill?
>>722466918They likely planned to kill their hardware division before the price hikes. That was just their exit strategy.
>>722466751>>722466847I checked and only 22 of my games are play anywhere, fuck microsoft
>>722468065 The devs can't add tons of new shit without more advanced consoles being created. That is why I am advocating freezing the console madness.And I only buy upgrades once games I need start requiring it to keep 1080p60.
>>722468181The worst news we could get is XBox isn't dead for good.
Can they at least make online free for the remaining days servers would be up for xbox?
fuck xbox, I canceled the fucking subscription, paying 30 bucks a month for fortnite and ubislop it's not a good deal.
>literal who says somethingi'm fully willing to believe microshart would kill xbox hardware (though it goes directly against things they've said recently, it seems more likely they're moving to cloud gaming bullshit) but not on the word of some random literal who
>>722467283>new gen is almost out>xbox, Playstation and pc >most titles and wanted are on older or new consolesPs/Sony won
>>722467467Technically it started with the Sega channel on the Mega Drive.
>>722468318they won't exit the consoles, we are the only ones paying for gaypass. That's why they won't ever make online free either
>>722464302Fuck off
>nobody will be held accountable for this
>>722464302end of an era, i guess? i realized consoles were becoming glorified PCs during 7th gen and have been exclusively PC since like 2008, and this fact has been true for the last 10 years than ever before, so i dont know why anyone would care about this. the time to "come home, white man" and get at least an entry level PC build was forever ago, but the second best time is now.
And nothing of value was lost.
>>722466971Tariffs are just another blow to affordability. When the fuck has more taxes ever been a good thing?
>>722468069kys pedo
>>722468385>we are the only ones paying for gaypass.*raises prices in your path*
Xbox ain't got no games. Sony always wins
>>722468181I'm feeling euphoric as fuck on Monday.
>>722468065I thought AI can keep more than one post in their memory banks now.
>>722466971>i-it's just a memeStop pretending to be retarded. It's wrecked American's relations and the cost is being passed onto Americans. Your retard made everything worse, and you're a fucking retard for pretending it didn't.
>>722467491With how the PS5 is getting more expensive the PS6 would be an even harder sell.
>>722468494they wouldn't be raising prices if we didn't pay for it
>>722468241>some HR person comes out with "we heard your feedback">a few lies about "what is next for xbox">"look forward to some exciting new games coming soon(tm)">probably a Master Chief poster/figure in the background
>>722465240The presentation was like a deep but still treatable cut.What killed Xbox was a lack of medical care but the cut was the source.
APOLOGIZE.
>>722465512>Xbox prioritized flashy presentations above all elseYep, that absolutely makes sense.
>>722468452B-But the Xbox is the only US console on the market; it should thrive when the competition is unfairly treated. If a PS5 is twice as expensive as an Xbox, even I would buy an Xbox.
So....... we won.Again.Consecutively.>but but but Playstation has no exclusivesI'm literally playing an exclusive right now. GOTY material too ;)>but but but Playstation has no gamesWe've always had games, and now we're having Xbox games too. (Thanks Phil!)>no competition will just let Sony drive up console prices next genYou know there's already a $1000 console? And it's not by Sony ;)>Playstation will flop with their live service pushWe already course corrected by cancelling all those bullshit by Jim Ryan's time. Marathon? Fairgames? Absent on the latest State of Play for a reason ;)>Sony will exit the console race too after 1 genThey already won this generation after also winning the last one and their main rival competitor just majorly shit their pants leaving Sony with a grand slam conclusion of the PS5 gen into the PS6 gen and you think they're thinking of stopping now? el oh el ;)
>>722468494>Why didn't you listen?
>>722468494I hate that their 400+ games are always shit games, fucking zoo tycoon has been in there gathering dust since day one, why don't they change the fucking games at least once every decade?
>>722466626I want Microsoft to fuck off entirely from gaming because they spend a decade trying to sabotage PC gaming because PC gamers refused to pay for online, fuck them, I hope they drown in piss.
>>722468562If PS6 can't play physical copies of PS1, PS2 and PS3 games then there's no point of getting one
>>722468312>fortnite add on cost $12 by itselfthere needs to be 2 tiers of ultimate. this fortnite shit is the majority of the price increase.
>>722468821pc gamers would be paying up for online if steam introduced it
>>722468878ps6 won't even be able to play ps5 games, because ps5 got not gaems
>>722468426Having a PS4 and PC still made sense if you were into the exclusives and wanted a way to game from the couch, maybe a Switch too if you're into that. But owning a PS5 or any Xbox after the 360 while you have a PC makes no sense at all, those are all dogshit consoles
>>722468821Exactly, Nintendo and Sony can do whatever they want with consoles, who cares. Microsoft would ruin PC given the chance.
ubisoft classics not even ubisoft +, what are they thinking adding this shit into gamepass
>>722467895I'm staying when it started year 1 sales back in 2013.
>>722468807It ended up being good for sony
>>722468235What? Devs don't make games for PC? PCs keeps getting new hardware all the time. Advocating a freeze on console generations is like trying to stop Climate Change by only fixing the pollution coming from developed countries.
>>722468918Not likely, but since Valve is kind of obsessed with Linux and FOSS, I doubt they would ever waste time trying to implement something like that.
>>722468878The PS6 probably won't even have a disc drive.
>>722466769>those avatars really could have been as iconic as miis.Yeah I don't really get why they got rid of them, they tied in perfectly with games ans achievements sometimes giving your avatar clothes or toys, microtransactions for other clothing / toys, they even had it where arcade titles and kinetic ones were able to use them and load in your xbox live friends as random competitors, it was even neat to see them on the home screen interacting.Just like the kinetic for the Xbox 360, I think at the time it had the record for quickest and most selling console accessory, the attach rate was huge just no real big games outside of a few, Kinetic Sports, Adventures, some dance and exercise games.
>>722469037I know PS4 outsold Xbox one but they were neck in neck the first year. The speech didn't kill xbox. The mismanagement after that speech did. From Phill Spencer
>>722469070>Devs don't make games for PC?No, they port shit to PC later.
>>722468491Looks like a young adult to me. Are you like 45 or something and all young adults look like children to you?
>>722468918Why would I do that when I could just play on cracked servers for free? Paid multiplayer was already tried on PC and it failed. That's why all the MMOs had to go free to play.
>>722469140it sure ain't trying to look like one, with the make up and school girl clothes
You know Sony is making a PS6 as well as a Playstation Handheld next gen?Sega down. Xbox down. Nintendo is next. ;)
>>722464302Microsoft didn't kill XBox, niggers and trannies did.
>>722468821Not going to happen, because Steam and GOG exist. MS produces nothing of value in the gaming sphere. Actiblizz only makes COD console kiddy shit, all of the Blizz properties are DOA or on life support, and Bethesda has nothing after like a fucking decade+ of "working" on Elder Scrolls 6. Halo is completely lifeless.
>first time in my life I buy a console with my own hard earned money>xbox decides to kill itself
>>722469376How so?
>>722469108It makes me mad desu. They had a treasure trove of scrapped ips that would have been so goated if the management wasn't retarded.They had everything in the bag. But Microsoft's management was utterly stupid. They would have even still had a monopoly on pc gaming if they didn't ad pay to play and could have even made it easy for Devs to integrate avatars into pc games as well.Honestly they fumbled way too hard.
>>722469424>and GOG existMight as well replace that with epic. More people use the epic games store than gog on pc.
>>722469424>MS produces nothing of value in the gaming sphere.Grounded 1 and 2 are good games. Ori 1 and 2 are supposedly good games, I never played 2. Battletoads revival was... OK.
Can Halo finally be free of Microsoft?
>>722469534>Battletoads revival was... OK.No. Just no.
>>722469535Lol, lmao even never gonna happen. MS will fuck up halo til the end
>>722469424>MS produces nothing of value in the gaming sphere.Forza horizon
>>722469020if you already have PS+ premium then you have Ubi classics. this shit is is retarded
>>722469572Yeah it was pretty shit, but it's not like Journey or something that has 0 reason to even exist. It was nice of them to make the attempt instead of letting the IP rot.
>>722469654that shit is meaningless to xbox players, they already gave every game there through games with gold
can xbox go independent or some third party buy it?
>>722469580Like I said. Nothing of value. Who gives a FUCK about some racing shit?
>>722469534Grounded is absolute dog shit lmao bro its woke and boring shit
>>722469762Expect formerly Xbox franchises on Playstation and Nintendo.
>>722464302
>>722469762The relevant franchises will find home elsewhere. Gears, forza, and halo will find buyers. Nobody cares about the other franchises except for very niche fan favorites (prototype for instance)
>>722469896Ready for Master Chief to reveal he is actually Abdullah Muhammad and jihad the Flood?
>>722469896not ips, the hardware itself. So someone can continue supporting xbox in the future and our libraries not getting deleted 10 years down the line
>>722469762the brand is pretty worthless and i doubt microsoft will sell their gaming division to the saudis unless they cover the cost of the acquisitions and then some.
I hope they keep making controllers at least
>>722469534>Battletoads revival was... OK.I stayed up to play that on release. I beat it that same night.That game sucked.
>>722469969Microsoft will keep the servers online for basically forever. But the hardware? Eh no. Sorry bro but this is it. If Xbox actually goes under you're gonna have to take good care of your machine. Only controllers will come out afterwards.
>>722469979No fuck that, my piece of shit controller won't charge anymore because it can't update for no reason.
>>722464302Timdog came back, just to lose him again....
>>722464302Fuck Xbox. I spit on its grave and its entire fan base lol. I win. Saying Japanese games aren't games imagine eating a bag of dicks for decades losers
I think that it is really understated how many normies were paying for xbox live gold just to watch netflix on their TVs wtihout ever playing games in the early 2010s before smart tvs and streaming boxes/sticks really proliferated.
>>722470048>>722469969Those servers are getting cut right away. They ain't keeping that shit online unless it makes them money.
>>722469943The Sovereign Wealth Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can't a be worse home for Halo than Microsoft has been for the past 15 years.
>>722469943Shah SultanChief will commit ummah sallah wajabi salah walla bukar mamdani MASHALLAH
>EA gets sold to arabs>Xbox ducks out of the console marketWhat the fuck is happening
>>722468918>the one big platform that doesn't have paid onlineKill yourself, but make sure there is enough money allocated in your will for monthly payments.
Stick to your bullshit that a mobile = xbox console marketing fuckers. Except no one wants an overpriced subscription service LOL
>>722469450>Perfect Dark botched reboot where Joanna looks like a man>That Fable reboot where the female character been hit by a ugly stick>Avowed, no explanation is needed>Gears of War having a girlboss face of their franchise>Halo Infinite is riddled with tranny armor and a nigger spartan leading you>Forza Horizon 5, a fucking racing game featuring gender pronouns >South of Midnight>Outer Worlds 2 featuring jeets and fagsAnd they expect me to pay $80 for their fucking games
>>722470183We're healing.
>>722465072There were several points at which Xbox could’ve come back but Phil Spencers delusion surrounding exclusives not being important and Microsoft’s refusal to hire new devs for what games they made permanently instead of on contract fucked them hard. There’s also something to be said about them shedding their “ExTREME” gamer image in favor of nu-liberal “gaming is for everyone!” Bullshit that probably cost them some of their fans
>>722470183You elected a retard who has ruined the economy, tanked relations, killed any reason to invest here or hire our people,and companies are fleeing while they still can, and now you are seeing the direct result of it.Also the Xbone was basically MS shitting the bed so they're pulling out.
>>722470183The results of horrible financial management and retarded staffing choices for the last almost 20 years are slowly catching up with every western company.
>>722468918never has and never will. PC ideology doesn't flip like that. There have always been ways to get it for free but Steam excels at a service. They aren't that jewish that you would need to subscribe to use it. They already beat the cancerous competition by just having an efficient and simplified experience.
>>722465512I like to see Phil Spector being trashed. A lot of people treat him as a dindu nuffin when he's an absolute retard that fumbled the bag despite the fact he had unlimited budget.
>>722464416to be fair, canceling things that were already in progress is microsoft's forte
>>722470167The PR disaster would be insane. And people pay for online anyways. Are you forgetting about GTA 6 and helldivers 2? Or even fortnite and CoD.
SONY ALWAYS WINS, BABY.SONY ALWAYS WINS.
>>722470331Who cares? What are they going to do about it? Not use Windows 11? The cattle have no choice.
>>722466626I want all consoles to die. They hold the entire industry back. But it's hopeless to demand such a thing because porting everything to PC is the very last action Nintendo would do in their lifetime.
>>722468807I'm glad it happened because it was a big middle finger to sonyNow that xbox is killing itself sony will have a monopoly on consoles and be put under scrutinyLets see what regulators think about sony preventing publishers from selling digital playstation games outside of the playstation store
>>722470428PC is irrelevant. Cry some more.
>>722468807>>722469068I've listened to the entire trial here on /v/, they way she fucked this whole trial up was unbelievable it was if FTC representing for Sony rather than for American consumers.
Being honest with you, I don't think the hybrid PC console idea will save Microsoft. It won't matter at all for normies. I think what we should be discussing instead is the potential void being left by cuck box and how valve could use that as a way to entice customers to their platform with steamos.
I am lying on my back with my ass cheeks pulled apart. Can I get a big wet apology kiss from all the Xbots who shit up this board with their endless threads about stealing IPs away from Sony and their retarded side-by-side graphics comparison arguments? You made /v/ awful for a good decade.
>>722466516>EXCLUSIVE Japanese games and they didn't show them off in E3E3 was an AMERICAN event, organized by AMERICANS and hosted in AMERICA.Why the fuck would anyone want to see some shitty Jap games that they cant even play?
Fun fact: The only Activision IP Microsoft had to keep multiplat was Call of Duty, and only for a limited period. They ported Gears of War out of their own volition.
>>722469447sell it right now while you still have a chance. get a chinese htpc with an HX 370 or a used laptop with a 4050 or some shit if youre poor.
>>722470546Nobody even remembers those games holy shit. There's only like 5 or 6 games noteworthy from the entire decade of 2010-2020 and they were almost all PlayStation exclusive. Wtf Xbox?!
>>722465072I remember my roomate and I watched this presentation together in our 20s. At the time we were fans of Xbox, having spent lots of time playing Halo 3 and Gears in our dorms, but it wasn't like we were fanboys since we play on other platforms as well. It was so obvious to us that MSFT had made a major mistake, I remember my friend saying, "Xbox is fucking dead".Why is it that a couple of 24 y/o dipshits could see what Xbox management couldn't? How do these people get jobs that pay 10 million per year only to fuck up so badly in a way that is so obvious to everyone?
I hope Xbox last enough to play gta6 on it
>>722464302how the fuck are they gonna sell gamepass subscriptions then?
>>722469447buy a switch 2 next
I wonder how long Phil is going to hide for. He hasn't even tweeted since the 25th. It wouldn't surprise me if the next thing we hear from him is his resignation.
>>722464302Year 18 of "Xbox exits console business next year"
>>722468807Is that the shitter that completely fumbled the FTC case?
>>722470262Nah, this stuff has been going on for more than a year, the first big gaming tech layoff post-COVID was in 2023.It turns out when you print shit tons of money, produce lots of garbage no one likes, and waste money on worthless garbage, you end up running out of money eventually.Hence shit like Ubishit and EA.
>>722465384Valve quit making games just so they could slurp up 30% of everything sold on Steam and it worked out. Microsoft exits consoles and buys every publisher so they can slurp up 70% of every game sold so why wouldn't that?
>>722470262>Trump kills Xbox.I voted for this.
>>722470183An Industry collapses when it gets too huge.
>>72246909290% of Playstation users plays on disks.
>>722470693The fact that Microsoft haven't fired him yet is insane
>>722470183The everything crash is finally starting
>>722466392>>Consoles are not the entry-level game devices anymorethis kind of shit pisses me off. wheni was a massive poorfag my hacked ps2 gave me hundreds of hours of fun. I have when shit starts accessible and becomes way too expensive down the line, happens to fucking everything. I used to dream buying a cool harley davidson motorbike when i was younger and now they cost an arm and a leg, let alone maintaining that shit.
>>722470726ubisoft and EA are polar oppositesEA has been killing it for a while now meanwhile ubisoft has fallen to their 2012 valuation which is like 90% from their all time high
>>722470798Valve has way above average output for a studio of their size, retard-friend.
>People cancel Gamepass>Xbox literally fucking dies in three daysCan't make this shit up
>>722470183Industry is collapsing. EA is going private because it is easier to be tied to the whims of a few private investors that you may be able to reason one on one with compared to being tied to a room of people who only want to see line go up and don't even understand you are a company that makes video games. The writing has been on the wall for Microsoft for a long time. They bought too many companies and while Microsoft has tons and tons of money it doesn't mean they were going to let the Xbox division piss away money with nothing to show.
>>722470993Yeahhhh, with all those new games like...uhhh....
>>722471114They have the only actual game on VR headsets.
>>722471183Right, and that one came out how many years after....I can't even remember the last time those lazy fucks made a game before that.
>>722464598He jumped ship when Microsoft began going multiplat, he knew something, I didn't want to believe, at the time, but now I know for a fact, he has sources.
>poor faggots can't pay 10 dollars more for the ultimate tier>instead they're just gonna downgrade to a lower tier>this somehow means Xbox Is deadXbox is not gonna go anywhere
>>722470990EA's stock only shot up because of the Saudi buyout (the biggest in history).They weren't literally dying like Ubishit, but they were mostly stagnant and hadn't done much with their COVID boost since they lost the FIFA license shortly after and released a bunch of games that killed the reputations of their long-running series (Battlefield 2042, Need for Speed Unbound, Dragon Age The Veilguard).Also, apparently that shitty Immortals of Aveum game that no one remembers that flopped immediately cost EA FUCKING $120 MILLION, which is fucking mindboggling to me.This is what I mean, just so many shitty decisions in this industry made by soulless beancounters and retards.
>>722469234School girl uniforms don't look like that.
>>722471343Who can even tell if a game will be successful or a flop? Megabonk reminds us that even the shittiest shit can make it.
>>722471343Losing the fifa license didn't do shit they just changed the name
>>722466392Only Nintendo and Steam will survive this, AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>722464302I'll wait for an official word from Xbox before believing this, but I wouldn't be shocked if the end of the hardware isn't coming soon.>>722470680The endgame for the Xbox division for a while now has been to get Gamepass on as many platforms as possible so that it can be similar to the Netflix of vidya. Don't know if the cancellation of future Xbox consoles would convince Sony or Nintendo to allow Gamepass on their systems, but the company would push really fucking hard for that if they stop making hardware.
>>722470139>Saying Japanese games aren't gamesI don't think they said that
>>722471051EA's also going private because the shareholders get to cash out at a price they want.If the offer was too low they wouldn't have gone private. Who knows how that'll work out for EA's studios and games but as far as the shareholders are concerned they're happy to take the money and run, EA's execs are probably pretty happy about all that too regardless of what happens to EA as a company since most suits are in this corporate game to sell companies, once you realize the goal is to build up companies to sell them then a lot of shit starts to make sense.
>>722465072Despite being the death of the brand, both Xbone and Series easily outsold GC and Wii U
>>722465240Microsoft waw riding high with the massive success of the 360 up until this point. It's been nothing but downhill from there.
>>722465240Yeah this, what actually killed it was removing all exclusives, and cancelling all games while also the ones that didn't get cancelled being shit. Letting shit like SF5 not being on Xbox because "hurr we have our own fighting game let's just focus on that!" just absolutely destroyed it.
>>722471519I doubt Xbox is going to reveal there will be no new consoles unless they also pull out an M4 and shoot themselves in the head.
>>722471497>NintendoOnly toddlers and american soibois care>SteamThe ones that killed physical games, they deserve to rot in hell with everyone of their dumb users.
>>722465986This, the original Xbox and 360 with blades era are completely different from whatever the fuck came after it. It just keeps getting worse but most people checked out a long time ago to find out.
>>722470331>The PR disaster would be insane. There's no way for it to get worse. Maybe if Phil came out on stage and started shouting "Nigger nigger nigger" would it be worse, but right now they can't get any worse than this.
>>722466190>Seriously porting everything to pc was I think a major turning pointIt's what made me sell my Xbone, and it's also what made me sell my PS5 lol.
>>722466626Nintendo will not fall in a century. They create video game hardware for the purpose of supporting the software that they creat. The ultimate combination of hardware functions and gimmicks exist in order to have an electronic toy. They lap the entire industry to the point where people imitating them are only capable of copying the things they do - Make a game console! Make it have motion controls! Gyroscopes and waggling on the controller! Give it a d-pad! Wait, scratch that, actually a joystick! Shoulder buttons! - rather than even attempting to comprehend and imitate nintendos style and actually navigate into new territory like nintendo does.
>>722466626Everyone wants Sony to fail, it's going to happen anyway. Nobody wants Nintendo to fail because if they ever do, gaming will die with them just like if Valve failed, gaming would die with them. PlayStation is expendable
>>722471683nothing they can do when market leader pays for exclusivity. They would need to pay double just for it to not be an exclusive, that seems stupid. Not to mention no one invites all parties when making these deals, sony made the deal and that was it, no counter reaction was allowed
>>722470680They're moving on to dlcs, microtransaction and 3rd party shovelwares. This all but confirms gamepass isnt profitable. Even a slight bump in the cost of making and maintaning games and a slight drop in subs from poor economy conditions would trigger them to do this. The model is unstainable
>>722470262Kill yourself leftoid nigger.
>>722465898>Hey Phil, I love Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, will we see more of that on the Xbox One?>"There will be jrpgs on the Xbox One"It was all a fucking lie, I hate this guy so fucking much. The entire gen was just empty promises and they ended up cancelling most games anyway.
>>722471859>just like if Valve failed, gaming would die with them.
>>722471921>ReportedlyFunny how all the anti-xbox shilling never has a single fact to back it up, just rumors, guesses, and "leaks" from nobodies.
>>722467543Sony wants nothing to do with mascot platformers, they even hate Astro Bot, see how Asobi gets disbanded soon despite winning goty.
>>722464302Let's not pretend we didn't see this coming all the way back when Halo Infinite crashed and burned.
We don't need these redundant platforms, there's a Steam Deck, there's gaming laptops, and of course there's PCs, if people want to be plebs they can play on streaming shit.
>>722471919It just seems bizarre since so much of the goodwill from the 360 was taking exclusives from Sony and next gen Sony was taking those exclusives back, while they did nothing in return. I guess they paid for like 6 months for that shitty Tomb Raider game.
>>722470343Except for when they lose to Nintendo
>>722465072>>722470647Nintendo exploiting the gradnma and normie market with the Wii inspired and drove Microsoft to pivot toward appealing to those markets that much harder. And in addition to failing to capture the fad chasers who moved on and the grandmas who passed on, they alienated the much healthier dudebro demographic in the process. So essentially, Nintendo killed Xbox.
>open up gamepass>half the games are just shit you can emulate, toddler games, or AAA slop no one bought
>>722471965Eh, if steam goes down PC gaming ultimately enters a dark age for a decade again. Too many competing platforms without centralization AND more active piracy crackdowns than we've seen since the 90s. People will just revert to playing spider solitaire for another decade.
>>722470680They're going to follow Tim Sweeny's lead in forcing the epic game store in Apple's walled garden ecosystem and then force Gamepass on Nintendo and Playstation as well.
>>722472245Don't forget the streamer bait, F2P games, and cat photography indie games!
>>722472284Oh, PC gaming. Aw, who cares.
>>722472230Which is every time for the past decade
>>722472284It's the golden opportunity for the rise of vendor-neutral physical copies. Blu-ray Disc drives in every computer by 2040.
>>722469245We know they're making the PS6, handheld will either come in early 2028 or not come at all. Sony will put more games on Switch, PC, and cloud and eventually they'll also stop making hardware.
>>722470183The AAA gaming market is crashing, it's a once in a lifetime event when the paradigm shifts. This is not the end of it. There will be more, PlayStation will collapse next along with the entire AAA industry starting with GTA 6. This will lead to only Nintendo and Valve being in gaming with the Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2, with rumors of Sony getting cozy with Valve, they may even consider the Steam Deck 2 their PS6 handheld.
>>722472284that tripfag is just retarded and doesn't know how many franchises started on PC and how many indie hits launched on PC first and then went to consoles
>>722470262You lost America, you lost Japan, you lost Xbox, you'll lose PlayStation, and you'll lose AAA gaming, choke on it, lefty, AI bubble is able to pop.
>do nothing>win
>>722472623Wow, 2025 is cratering.And whoopee doo they started on PC. PC is irrelevant and only exists to make ports later for some extra cash. The only exclusives it gets anymore are pixel indies and farm sims.
>>722470262But enough about Joe biden
>>722472676Its easy to do nothing when just standing up takes half an hour.
>>722470343They're losing to both Nintendo and PC and this isn't even combined, lmao.
>>722472749>Boco is so retarded he didn't know Gabe lost weight ages ago kek
>>722472809He must have gotten so massive he collapsed on himself. Like neutron stars.
>>722470693If the console is dead, it's about time for him to retire. It's over.
>>722464302Good honestly, why bother putting all that time and money into a new console if no one is gonna buy it. What a big fat waste of everyone's fucking time, Phil Spencer may honestly be the biggest fuck up in gaming history. Imagine having endless Microsoft money and resources and you still fuck up as bad as him, what an utter disappointment.
>>722471710Sounds like cope, Snoy. Tick tock, you're next.
>>722464302I mean, there's been that "This is an XBOX" campaign, right?When everything is an XBOX, nothing will be.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmSO2cz2ozQ
>>722471965Nintendo and Valve are holding gaming up by their backs. It's great that their model will keep them going forever because if it didn't gaming, as a whole, would be in trouble. PlayStation though, that's on life support right now.
>>722471519there's no way that Sony or Nintendo will let them do it. It would take away from their cut which is the only reason to have your own console. >>722471921yeah I'm inclined to believe this too
>>722472430I doubt it.It's more likely that publishers would just use AWS or some other store agnostic way to distribute games digitallyNo one wants to return to the days of having to deal with manufacturing and logistics eating into margins.
>>722473062Valve is holding up PCs. Which are quickly becoming useless and redundant in a world of cell phones and tablets. And the PC industry has been dead for over a decade, nothing but ports and cheap indies.
>>722467283Sony has such a golden opportunity to completely dunk on Nintendo and Xbox this upcoming gen. If they release the PS6 and it has really good hardware and is sub 700 dollars then they can really make a killing. PC gaming is obviously superior but if you can get a comparable alternative that isn't like 3000 bucks then they can dominate so hard in the console department. Even Nintendo would look like absolute shit in comparison cause their hardware is such garbage
>>722465384Xbox's future looked very different before they shifted to gaypass and the purchases were supposed to save their brand from the X1 disaster gen.
>>722472706Well the year is not over yet, and I'm not sure what month that graph is from.You can see from the graph that the number of games with 500+ reviews is relatively unchanged over the last 10 years. Prior to that I assume there is a lack of data.
>>722473140PC will survive with the Steam Deck 2 as consoles will survive with the Switch 2. When consoles and PCs are lost in darkness, the light of Nintendo and Valve always shines past it.
OH SHIT!
>>722465379I haven't played horizon forbidden west but I can't believe this post is true. Halo infinite is one of the worst games I've ever played.
>>722465072vinny was much more open to shitting on brands back then. The other day when asked about gamepass price jacking he was so mild
>>722473472>BRAPI can't take this shit seriously
>>722465947I question if Nintendo are really "left" given how they've been freaking the fuck out and getting super-litigious. They may be on the way out too.
>>722470815Didn't stop Sony from making no drive the default option. I wouldn't be surprised if they just force the switch over next generation now that there's no competition.
>>722473501I'm going to tell you a little secret. Phil Spencer thought Halo Infinite looked better than Horizon Forbidden West. He said it was going to crush Sony. When the team saw Halo Infinite's 2020 gameplay, Mike Ybarra said that they couldn't show that, Phil was like "THAT LOOKS GREAT! SEND IT!" and the game gave us 2020 MONKE! and got delayed for entire year almost into 2022, lmao.
>>722473140Cheap indies are carrying the entire industry, AA is dead and AAA is shit and dying.
>>722467372thishonestly couldve stopped at the ps4 toographics are plenty impressive with that gen as well
>>722472868Shut up Boco.
>>722465072xbox died because THEY NEVER MADE ANY FUCKING GAMES AND JUST CANCELLED 90% OF THEIR ANNOUNCED SHIT EVERY GEN
>>722468918Steam only has the reputation is does because they DON'T do shit like this. Go fuck yourself.
>>722473557Nigger what the hell are you going on about
>>722473557>>722465947Consoles died a decade ago and I'm not being hyperbolic about it, it amazes me how many people still don't recognize thisThe Xbox 360 was a console. The PS3 was a console. The Wii U was a console.Microsoft gave up and made rebadged Ryzen PCs to call consoles. Sony gave up and made rebadged Ryzen PCs to call consoles. Nintendo gave up and retrenched entirely to their lucrative handheld market (and I don't hold this against them, the GameCube and the N64 stumbled too but Nintendo handhelds have just printed money for forty fucking years)So the last consoles ever made were on the market in 2012
I genuinely believe I could have done a better job than Phil Spencer and I drive a forklift.
>>722470183
>>722467895Should've ported gundam games to it
BBBRAAAAAAPP
>>722473557they'll be fine as long as they don't get themselves sued into oblivion
>>722473912No.
>>722464302Over 90% of children under 18 who play videogames do not play on console or PC. The market is changing, wasting money on making hardware is retarded when the market for it is going to be gone in 10 years.
>>722473897Nintendos recent actions are not that of a company thats comfortable in its current market position
Bros...
>>722474082They're the actions of the market leader.
>>722464302ALL they had to do was make games. That was fucking it.
>>722474039t. Zoomer who doesn't even remember when PCs and consoles were completely distinct ecosystems and less than half of all contemporary games were multiplats
>>722464302assuming it's true, what's MS vidya plan?every year we're moving closer to leaving the piece of shit that is WIndows
>>722474294Becoming a third-party publisher.
>>722474251All these years later I still don't understand how/why Microsoft bought so many devs and then put them to work not making gamesLike okay you own Rare/Bungie/Bethesda/iD/etc., that's great, just take those fancy offices you bought and employees you hired and tell them "hey make a game like your previous hits and we'll publish it and get even richer"How the fuck did they NOT do that
>>722471279Fuck off and kill yourself
>>722473547Xbox BRAPPED itself out of the console market
>Xbox dead, literally dead lol>PlayStation, no exclusives anymore, does the bare minimum, barely even worth it over a PC now>Nintendo, not even competing with the other 2 and caters to an entirely different marketSo uh now what?
>>722474294Going third party and leaving hardware for third parties to make at high prices. The Magnus APU originally for the next gen Xbox will now be for the OEMs, don't expect backwards compatibility. Seems Microsoft is pulling a Games for Windows Live with that one. I warned Xbots about Microsoft, but Xbots didn't listen.
>>722474289They still are you PC faggots think because you have more ports today that everyone is a PC gamer. They both have distinct games that sell better on the different platforms and consoles still are prioritized when it comes to development because of the closed nature of the systems. Sit down nigger.
>>722474536Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2, that's what
>>722469116>>722465990>slight edgeDude, thats almost 50% more PS4 sold than xbone.
>>722474558>consoles still are prioritized when it comes to development because of the closed nature of the systemsThe consoles ARE PCs you fucking idiotThe Sega Genesis wasn't a PC. The Nintendo 64 wasn't a PC. The PlayStation 2 wasn't a PC. The Xbox 360 wasn't a PC.The Xbox One, XSX, PS4 and PS5 are PCs. And if you don't get that you're one of the mouth breathers who thinks the PS5 invented SSDs
>>722474251I still find it hilarious that Xbox did get a game out of nowhere that was beloved and then they repaid this surprise success by killing the studio and then giving the IP to them for free after they got revived by some other company.It would be like if Nintendo killed IS right after the surprise of FE Awakening.
>>722474679Wow such insight. I know that you retarded sperg. It has nothing to do with what I'm saying.
>>722464618Upgrade it for what? Modern gaming shouldn't need anything extremely powerful since the graphics aren't at a level that would require it, the real problem at this moment in time is lack of optimisation and holding back on hardware would fix that.
>PC = x86, and only x86What a fucking retarded opinion.
>>722471936Stop being retarded.
>>722474775Or you know playing on a console.
Where were you when consoles died?
>>722474940Yeah because the ps5 is the bastion of games running well, right?
>>722474954on pcnever giving a fuck about consoles
>>722475017Playing console games made by console developers
>>722474727Nintendo doesn't own IS like MS owned Tango.It's more like if Nintendo killed Monolith right after the success of Xeno 2, Takahashi went off to make a new studio, Nintendo then sold the rights to Monolith to Koreans along with Xenoblade who then rehired most of the old staff.
>>722474775 if hardware were to stagnate performance would just get worse because game devs are big graphics whoresdevs already drop games to sub 1080p internal resolutions so the next thing they would do is make games run at less than 30 fps rather than simply make their games not so graphically intensive that they run like shit
>>722464598We knew Phil is a poser when he said he played Starfield NG+15 in 200 hours.
>>722474976Games are better optimized for consoles, in that when things get busy they simply turn down to 540p 30fps low detail automatically, whereas PC gamers have to deal with frame drops and stutters trying to maintain resolutions over 1440p and framerates over 60
>>722465384They unironically thought Gamepass was going to make money and become the Netflix of gaming.
>>722470546Those aren't exclusives, those aren't even console exclusives.
>>722475070>buying sony movies>buying any gears of whatever after the 3rd onenot even once
>>722475101>graphically intensiveI wish games were graphically intensive Somehow they eat processor power and RAM now and deliver nothing in returnSee also; new Borderlands requiring fucking Skynet to run while still looking exactly like previous installments that ran on Core 2 Duos
>>722475218Anything you play with a controller is a game made by and for consoles.
>ConsolesThose fifa machines for browns? Who cares
One last ride...?
>>722475232it's because of forced raytracing, and software ray tracing at that
so where's my new halo?
>When you realize that Dreamcast had a better library than Series X
Imagine giving a fuck about consoles
>>722464302rip bozo
>>722464302S to spit on Xbox
Whether consolefags like it or not, PC is the inevitable future. One down, one more to go. >What about Nintendo?They aren't even competing with us
>>722475371Actual gamers do because it's what drives good software.
>>722475137>Games are better optimized for consolesNo, not at all. You get those same performance issues on pc that you do with console now.
>>722475517>Consoles>Software Haven't been true since 6th gen
>>722475517
>>722475498Nintendo is owning the rest of the industry, so you're right. They're in a league above the rest of you.
>>722475498>They aren't even competing with usStop pretending to be a PCfag.
>>722464302Xbox has been irrelevant for at least a decade
>>722475517good software such as ghost of feminism and pokemon whatever the fuck this shit is
>>722467283At this point just get a Steam Deck or ROG Ally
In other news, Microsoft now as a Co-CEO, Judson Althoff, a white guy, sounds like Nadella is about to retire in the future.
>>722465072I'll never get over just how shitty the name XBOX ONE is. What the fuck where they even thinking. Is literally everyone at Microsoft marketing a retard?
>>722475720america is healing
>>722465240This presentation is what caused Phil to get the role, retard.Presentation is the cause, Phill is the effect
>>722475676I wouldn't even have time to post webms from the thousands of UE5 or Unity slop games released only this year you PCfags cream yourselves over.
Microsoft should hand over their internal dev teams and hardware R&D to Sega and give them a chance to jump back in the race. Sega has a decent enough portfolio at this point to offer a good and consistent amount of exclusives.
>>722475736*looks at xbox series s, xbox series x and rog xbox ally x*yes
>>722475787imagine complaining that PC uses unreal and unity when most console devs are using the same thing
>>722465512This is absolute bullshit to anyone that has actually been watching E3 conferences for as long as they existed. The zoomers who have zero frame of reference will eat up this explanation though.
>>722475736Microsoft always fucking sucked at naming things.
>>722475787good to know that the 136 year old multibillion dollar console company is on the same level as random indie devs working on commercial game engines in their basements
>>722468181The biggest sign was when stores like Sam's Club & Costco did liquidation at half off, it's unironically over
>>722475834And they're not releasing them on console, curious. Is there perhaps a difference where people on consoles aren't buying 5$ horror games made by third worlders?
>>722475929You say that as if console online stores aren't also populated with the same shit because of overlap
>>722474163Keep telling yourself that tendie. They arent going anywhere but they are clearly panicked. The landscape of the industry is changing to fast for their dinosaur mindset and theyre scared.
>>722475886>1 game vs 1000s a year
>>722464416How do we kill OP? He must be stopped before he grows even more retarded!
>>722465072If people want to downplay how bad this hurt them, think back and remember how many people you personally knew who switched over to Playstation or just never bought the new Xbox because of this presentation. I was one of them.
>>722475963They're not. Play the slop though nobody expects newfags to know better anyway.
>>722464302>xbox shits the bed in 2009 with Kinect >PS3 goes on to be the best seller and preferred platform>xbox one what more needs to be said>xbox series shitxbox is boomer shit, look at the paid shills and podcasters, all 40+ fat losers literally clinging to 2007 as it was the peak of their life.Meanwhile an entire generation of people have come of age not knowing what an xbox even is, xbox is dead and poison as a branding.
>>722468548you're a genuine retard who ignored the last 5 years of mega inflation thanks to the memeflu (in which you probably supported every terrible "solution" that was sold to you)the tariffs haven't changed anything, most of all the console business which has been in decline WAY BEFORE tariffs.
>>722471114>Zoomie's brain is too addled to handle DeadlockMany such cases
>>722476071>Tendie pretends people haven't bitched about the Eshop being filled with shovelware and AI garage for monthRiveting.
>>722465446Don was way better than Phil, Phils just some nobody loser.
>>722464598
What is the significance of BRAP Podcast?Why should we take them at their gassy word? Will Phil Spenster let out a Spyro Subway style "mound of pound"?
>>722474294On the real? Continue Game Pass & the Ally X as their "Console", continue publishing games on Switch 2 & PS5. They'll still do E3 like events at SGF, but it'll be primarily just about pushing Game Pass.
>>722469092I hope it has a detachable USB drive, make it sleek and not retarded like PS5 don't design it around a disc drive only 15% of people use.
>>722465379both games are gigantic modern game turds
>>722476141I was talking about people actually buying and playing it though. Nobody has dedicated YouTube channels for these games but on PC everyone loves low effort budget horror games and what not.
I will never understand people who thought microsoft had any competency when it comes to games after games for windows live
>>722476175The Xbox Series X is better designed hardware than the PS5, they're right about that.It's one of the coolest (temperature wise) and quietest consoles ever made.
Tendies getting real comfortable shitting on playstation saying were next after Xbox got nuked out of orbit. Don't be surprised once the shitch 2 sales comes Christmas start to flop.
>>722476071is that so?https://youtu.be/NR1V5ADMQ2chttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/LgYUKAJEY6Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzlb9lw3AP0https://youtu.be/U3NOizDqzyk
>>722465240I blame Phil for making the fire worse.But it was Donny who killed the brand.Outside USA Xbox has been dead since that presentation. Australia for example was firmly Xbox/Xbox360 and then firmly PS4/PS5.Yurop wasn't doing well for Xbox anyway but it was 100% dead there after Mattrick.
>>722476294Because you never owned an original Xbox, and never played Age of Empires on MSN Gaming Zone.
>>722475745Expect the same things to be happening in Japan. America is healing, Xbox died, Japan will start healing, PlayStation will die next.
>>722471519>I'll wait for an official word from Xbox before believing thisIt's going to be quietly included in the upcoming 2026 layoff news next year Q1, They stopped manufacturing consoles in april because nobody buys them.
>>722476328They won't. You can stop fantasizing about it snoytranny and save yourself the disappointment.
>>722475787nta but every single one of your posts is just poorfag seethe. We get it, youre a thirdie that cant afford a gaming pc, move on already
>>722476368I hope you're right
>>722474105xbox scammed retailers with unsellable junk they have to sell for a loss on clearance, they have lost retailer support, it's over for xbox.
>>722476331>Nobody likes and plays the slop>Posts videos about how they don't like it >Steamniggers play and love slop Thanks for providing more evidence
>>722465467HAVE WE STARTED THE FIRE?
Maybe Razor can buy the xbox name, like they did OUYA.bro that would be so dope, haha gamepass dood.

>>722476447I did see a ROG Ally X Pre-order stand at my local supermarket. They're just switching to that.
>>722476478if nobody played them no one would make them and put them on the eshopkeep coping
>>722476420I'm from a first world country where PC is the main platform and always has been.
>>722476530Then your behavior is even more mind numbingly retarded
>>722476437Yeah, Japan just went full conservative like us. America will be PC, Japan will be Nintendo.
Thank you for playing.
I remember people being sad when Sega got out of the console race and I love how no one gives a shit when Microsoft is done with consoles lol
>>722476682Dreamcast was SOUL distilled into a machine.
>>722476682do they even release games besides an occasional halo anymore? whats there to be sad about. They've been completely irrelevant to the game industry as far as actual video games being released for the last decade or so now.
>>722476682You say this despite never owning an original Xbox. You will never know true bliss.
>>722467593Just like PS5 runs FreeBSD, but I can't just install FreeBSD on a PC and say that's a PlayStation.
>>722476631Speaking of Japan, didn't they just elect some Japanese Giga chuddete.
>>722468218I doubt that in this day and age anyone have an inch of trust into micro$oft. Barely any game is cross platform, and the "retrocompatibility" is a fucking scam, literally only working like 25% of the 360 catalog..
>>722476881Yes
>>722464598Phil Spencer is such a fake fucker
>>722475498The thing is, as a PC player myself, is that they don't really make PC style games anymore. Most games are console ports or indies that don't even use the power of the PC. The late 90s and very early 00s was the real golden age for it.
>>722476881I read up on her earlier, she makes Shinzo seem like a tree hugger. I dont think Jews are ready for a Japan that feels cornered and angry. They are not whites and they have no guilt to trigger.
>>722476881How chud?
>>722476682Sega left on a high note. Even if it didn't sell well, everyone who had one LOVED the damn thing.

>>722464302The writing is on the wall when xbox decided to not release a ps5 pro competitor

>>722477136Holy based...I kneel. Chuddy female mistress...
>>722477069
>>722477136So why is the world suddenly going full blown fascist chud mode?
>>722468548Nigger, an onion costs like 3 dollars and theres no tarrifs on that. Inflation is out of fucking control. There has never been anything like the price increases of the past 5 years outside of war times. I dont know about you, but my salary has not increased 6x to match the price of the onion in since 2020, and I dont even expect its going to increase 6x over the next decade. It doesnt really matter if a PS5 increases in price from 500 to 550 dollars thanks to tarrifs, i cant afford it because im spending all my money on fucking onions.
>>722477227If jewjewcum trump taught me anything is that action is louder than words.
>>722477198And they are white, you spineless cucks have made it very clearly you are never going to do shit, ever.

>>722477237Migration is hell of a drug
>>722477237Because being nice and welcoming people of color into white countries has backfired horribly.
>>722477227That... doesn´t sound so bad? Only the first point is "bad", and only because Im not clear enough if the current state wouldn´t allow them to retaliate if they get attacked.
>>722477237People finally interacted with Indians
>>722477371Actually her opponent was the one working with Kemoito, the Pro-Israel faction of the LDP.She's working with Sanseito, the ultra nationalist group
>>722477406The first one is a good thing. The Japanese are entirely cucked not having a proper defense force. And who are you to say they shouldn't? Because they lost a war almost 100 years ago?
>>722464302Anyone that stuck with Xbox after the disastrous Xbox One reveal deserves to get fucked over

>>722477456Everyone who actually does says they stink.
>>722465246After Peter left EA Sports he became the president of Liverpool Football Club and won the UEFA Champions League, the Super Bowl of Europe. That guy won in life.
>>722477625Not that anon.>won the UEFA Champions League, the Super Bowl of EuropeSorry, but this made me chuckle.
>>722476682Sega never wanted to stop making consoles. They were forced to due to not having the money to continue. The company was almost bankrupt. Despite this, they still cared and would make games built for their hardware and when they couldn't continue the Dreamcast, they made a formal announcement that they would cease making hardware and go third party. Microsoft, on the other hand, announced games only to cancel them soon after, this started with Phil Spencer and from there, they started putting all their games on PC claiming they wouldn't make it day one only for that to be a lie. They held back the game industry with their controllers and the Xbox Series S, from there, introduced a crappy subscription service that killed their sales. After that, they went completely third party and egged their fans on like they were going to keep making consoles and then pulled the rug right from under their feet. Xbox lost all forms of respect.

>>722478380Yeah yeah go glow post elsewhere FBI man
Yeah they peaked here
>>722477991it was also ahead of it's time doing online gaming before most everyone else, the only real reason it failed was due to Sega being retarded and mismanaging things what little games for it were great and are regarded as classics.what does the series X|S have? gamepass? that shit was a money sink and the few games they did make for it were mid tier slop at best, I barely touch mine the only reason I bought it so I could play the backwards compatible games.Sony is going to take the same route with the way they are handling the ps5, I don't think their shitty switch rip off is going to save them.
