President of Xbox game content and studios, Matt Booty, thinks that gaming is competing with TikTok and movies, and should "seek to meet people where they are". How do we save gaming by making games that appeal better to TikTok audience and modern movie watchers? https://archive.is/xlx21
>>724296289Everybody knows shit like this already and they're just feigning ignorance or averting their eyes saying la la la covering their ears. Gamers are either watching people play/ online social media content, or they are actively playing the games themselves.
>>724296289Grim
Imagine being an Xbox cuck in the year 2025?
>>724296289Ain't Roblox the greater threat?
>>724297584I'm pretty sure Xbox has given up in trying to tap gen alpha, they are just trying to squeeze as much money as they can from the millennial and small remaining gen X audience they got.
>>724296289>Our biggest competition are the brain rot crowd who don't buy and play video games in the first place
Remember when Halo 3 was so popular that they hired movie directors to make the trailers and everything?
This is a retarded fucking take, kind of like if Pizza Hut said their main competition isn't other pizza chains but Mountain Dew.I've never used TikTok, but the barrier to entry is so nonexistant I can be using it in the next 45 seconds, for free, and use it nonstop for the next 12 hours, because it takes no attention span. Compare with Xbox where I need to pay either $20 or $80, wait 30min for my game to install or subject myself to cloud streaming, and then play for 3h tops before life inevitably pulls me away or I get bored. Fuck, I can be on TikTok while I wait.It's misguided and misunderstands gaming. You're not gonna fight TikTok with bigger, more expensive, bombastic games, but with smaller and more affordable ones.
Movies are a dead industry, otherwise he's right in the sense they lost two entire generations making and promoting gay shit for losers. And by they I mean everyone, Nintendo included, hence their literal toddler pivot lately.

>>724300079>He
>>724296964>>724296289That's funny, cause it seems to be affecting only Microsoft.Sony is sellingNintendo is sellingPoor Microsoft is the only one failing to sell Xbox and Gamepass, all because of Netflix
>>724300052It's just a question of how do we get people in the door to buy pizza
>>724300085
>>724300176Brand loyalty for Sony and Nintendo is rather extreme, and a side note I wasn't under the impression Sony is selling.
>>724300176Microsoft was never able to recover after Sony's game sharing video. And after the 360 they've always been seen as the weaker system with no exclusives worth buying. There was really no reason to ever buy an Xbox after the 360. Actually, furthermore PC gaming became even more popular too.
>>724300230Maybe people would have brand loyalty for Microsoft if they released good products instead of fucking the consumer in the ass.>sony isn't sellingPs5 is the most profitable system for Sony, ever.Problem is, development costs are also the highest it has ever been. But sony struggles sure as hell don't come from tiktok.Microsoft is just coping and trying to blame something else for the failure of their system
>>724296289How about just make a good fucking video game for once You cock sucking vaccinated cum drinking faggot
>>724300517>Maybe people would have brand loyalty for Microsoft if they released good products instead of fucking the consumer in the ass.Then Apple, Nintendo and Sony wouldn't hold most brand loyalty among companies, in fact it seems to be the complete opposite of your claims.
>>724300230Sony brand loyalty in particular just feels strange to me. Nintendo's brand loyalty I understand, since they have their unique style that appeals to rather wide audience of literal children and manchildren. But most of Sony fanboys only play CoD and sports games and multiplatform AAA anyways, which they could get on any platform.
>>724296289He's still right and you're still a fag for endless resposting this.
>>724300079>otherwise he's right in the sense they lost two entire generations making and promoting gay shit for losersIt applies to most of modern entertainment industry. For some fucking reason every entertainment corporation just decided that they must aim most of their products only to people born in late 80s and early 90s, and have gone out of their way to only pander to those millennials as they grew up and more or less neglected the new kids who by this point are lost to mobile games and Roblox.
>>724296289I’m glad all these retards believed in infinite growth and are now getting fucked
>>724300052try making finished games before worrying about how big or small they are
>>724300176>Sony is selling>>724296289It's not because of fucking tiktok and it especially isn't because of the movies that most people barely have the attention span to watch these days. It's because they made a series of retarded decisions, bought studios, closed them and did nothing with their IPs and while they did all that, pushed the line on how far they could fuck the customer before they'd stop paying. Spoiler: The customer stopped paying.
>>724300052>more expensive, bombastic games,>>724300517>Problem is, development costs are also the highest it has ever beenThe current state of AAA gaming kinda makes think of the Hollywood towards the end of golden age of cinema, when Hollywood tried to compete with rising dominance of TV by doubling down on super expensive and epic megaproductions only to be mogged by television shows with a fraction of budget.
>>724300680Apple, Sony and Nintendo have a huge legacy. Their presence in the market didn't start 2 days ago. They all built their fanbase through decades of appealing products that generated loyalists. And above all, those 3 are consistent. Microsoft started good with the og Xbox, selling more than the GC, and the 360 was the most popular core system for a good portion of the Gen.But around the 2010 Microsoft went balls deep on fucking ESPN and Netflix on the 360, selling a console as a TV, not games.You want games? Well we have kinect. Shit strategies that pushed gamers away, shit strategies that infected the xbone and by the time they series x came, no one took Xbox seriously. Xbox doesn't have fans cause it left not noteworthy legacy.
>>724301106People are retarded since they're still paying $30 per month for game pass.
>>724300079I feel like boomers and yids just forced too much ugly shit so kids these days rather Isekai in Roblox, gacha, Tiktok and anime>But those sucks!Ok, but western products chose to castrate themselves with their constant nogs everywhere.>>724300847Worse, if that was the case they would have used big boobs and cool looking heroes like in the past, instead they chose to force themselves to add ugly afro women and feminist shit
>>724301168It's anecdotal but everybody I've talked to about it recently isn't
Retarded cope. When a guy wants to play video games, he plays them. If he wants to watch marvelslop - watches. Apples to oranges
>>724301149AWOOGA
>>724301149>Apple, Sony and Nintendo have a huge legacy. Their presence in the market didn't start 2 days ago. They all built their fanbase through decades of appealing products that generated loyalists. And above all, those 3 are consistent. Consistently shit. Nintendo hasn't put out a good console since N64 and a good handheld since DS, Sony never made a good console and just rode the third party train until someone else showed up, Apple's only half-decent products were the first iPhones and iPods. Objectively speaking, they are all in the same boat.
>>724301120>when Hollywood tried to compete with rising dominance of TV by doubling down on super expensive and epic megaproductions only to be mogged by television shows with a fraction of budgetIt's got a lot to do with how that budget's being spent and the quality of what it's being spent on, but if I give too much detail on that I'll probably get banned for wrongthink again
>>724301176>Worse, if that was the case they would have used big boobs and cool looking heroes like in the past, instead they chose to force themselves to add ugly afro women and feminist shitThe push for female audiences was part of "infinite growth meme" because the execs with MBA degrees and zero understanding of their customers thought that normalfag women playing Farmville on Facebook and Candy Crush on their phones are a viable target audience for AAA gaming. Still, their worst mistake regarding was falling for the feminist zeitgeist that insisted that relatability is more important than idealized portrayals which led into large scale lamefitication of everything.
>>724296289It's low birthrates too. Whites and Asians are the biggest players, if these don't reproduce you get way less customers. In a few decades entertainment industry will receive a huge stab since a lot of people are either not having children or killing themselvesThis is why the slave mentality was always retarded, you want the average guy to have enough money to spend and reproduce and you should want women spending all morning shopping.This is why everything is dying
>>724301474No, it was (((them))) trying to mold the world to worship ugly women, because their culture ugly women rule. The average yenta stepped outside one day and saw all those thin, blonde women with blue eyes and she got so triggered she mkultrad all her kids so he uses his money to bribe/threat to remove any sign of beauty (young cute white actresses, asian women and even fucking videogame female characters). Anyone with a brain knows ugly don't sell. People like cool looking products, yeah, even ugly people. You won't see trannies supporting Dustborn
>>724297441Consolefags belong in ovens.
>>724296289>we are competing against platforms that attract normies, half-in-the-grave boomers, and e-celeb worshippers>we are NOT competing against fairly priced or well made, fun games
>>724297147America is such a dystopian hell hole imagine working in an office full of useless diversity hires.
>>724300214Cucktana should be the one watching
>>724296289HIS NAME IS MATT BOOTY GUYS HAWHOLY FUCK THAT'S THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE HEARD ALL DAY HAWHIS PROFESSIONAL SURNAME IS BOOTY HAWBOOTY MAKES BOOTY DECISIONS AT XBOXAS IN BUTTCHEEKS HAWAS IN ANUS AND PROSTATE HAWTHE ABSOLUTE "PROSTATE" OF MICROSOFT GAMES HAWHOPE THEY'RE NOT "BUTTHURT"HOPE THEY'RE NOT "ASS-BLASTED," HOPE THEY'RE NOT SOME OTHER ASS PUN HAWBOOTYASS
>>724296289But wasn't Xbox competing with movies in 2001 as well?
>>724301703>we are NOT competing against fairly priced or well made, fun gamesWhat year is it? Consoles don't have those. Fucking phones get closer to that description.
>>724300079>Movies are a dead industryIf that's true then how does a $20 million dollar movie like Demon Slayer Infinity Castle make $600+ million at the box-office in 2025?
>>724300403They never had enough exclusives, and the few exclusives they did have were both delayed and came out half-baked.
Roblox
>>724296289i dont understand word of this zoomer babble.
>>724296289>will blame literally anyone and anything except their inability to release good games
>>724302074Spics, mostly. Notice you can't bring up multiple examples as a healthy industry would have.
>>724302074Because it's an anime without niggas
>>724296289>itt: people using social media instead of playing games disagree that people use social media instead of playing games
>>724296289today i remind them of the xbox 0.
>>724296289I don't know I think Nintendo might have something to do with it, exclusives or something I dunno. There's no point in buying Playstation/Xbox in 2025.
>>724302191>Spics, mostlyEhhhh.
>>724296289ain't no way this nigga named matt BOOTY
>>724302315>Our biggest competition isnt another tv box, its everything from consoles to gaming.
>>724302558>USAYep.
yes everyone loves movies right now movies have never been doing better
The corpo is right for once. Zoomers and Gen A would rather watch someone else play a game.
>>724304856Sony movie games are all on PC.
>>724296289how they explain elden ring?
>>724305009"It is just unrealistic for a multibillion corporation like us to ever make a good game like that" is the current year's explanation.
>>724304856they're not because they abandoned the most important demographic to appease ones that don't buy their games.And then claim they're "competing" with completely irrelevant entities.M$ are legitimately schizophrenic.
>>724305009ER functioned exactly like a moviegame or Zelda in that virtually no one actually wanted to play it and it was largely bandwagoning.
>>724305212>no one actually wanted to play itThis is some truly bizarre cope.
>>724297656Their recent event was playing Nine Inch Nails and Nirvana. They're not trying to appeal to anyone younger than 40.
>>724305275This is reality. Where's the player surge from bandwagoners going back to play the older entries? Nowhere as they don't give a shit, they were part of the trend and that's the end of it.
>>724305363>Where's the player surge from bandwagoners going back to play the older entries?normalfags don't operate like that. Just like how they didn't go back and play FF1 when 7's remake released.You would have a point if, despite ER's immense hype, its steam reviews hovered under 10k, but its reviews match the hype, which means it was definitely played by quite a lot of people.
>>724305478Stop. Steam reviews are even more meaningless than standard ones, the only time they reflect what actual humans' feelings toward a game is when chinks don't get a localization, they're absurdly skewed.
>>724305654ok sure man, only a few thousand people actually played ER, you're right lol
>>724305730Out of their own desire and not parasocial purposes? Yes.
>more expensive console and games>more expensive subscription>gears and halo on playstation>everyone avoids Bing and Copilot like a plague>Halo TV was a shit showThey have Windows, Azure and Office, how the fuck is that competing with Tiktok and movies?
>>724297441>>724300085How long have you had these images made up for? 5, 6 years?
>>724306061>everyone avoids Bing and CopilotBing doesn't give me capchas on vpn and Copilot's been pretty good at writing unit tests for me when I berate it a bit first.
>>724305212Amazing what kind of cope the Discord warrior will tell themselves.
>>724306713if only it wasn't shit at what should bebe a good search engine
>>724296289>How do we save gaming by making games that appeal better to TikTok audience and modern movie watchers?We need shitty jokes, influencers, and a gambling mechanicYou're welcome xbox
>>724296289This is like claiming the Nazis didn't lose to the Soviet
>>724309163>nazis out of nowhereok jew
>>724300403I'm so glad they got fucked with the One. All they had to do was release a god damn normal ass game machine you buy a game for, put it in, and fucking play, with completely optional online BS. They deserve everything bad that has happened to them, and i say that as someone who loved their first two systems. Rest in piss.
>>724300795What does this even mean? What games could have possibly been made to appeal to kids that would have grabbed them the same way as phone/roblox slop, but were of larger quality, yet distinct from the types of games kids before them enjoyed?
>>724300517>Ps5 is the most profitable system for Sony, ever.lol imagine actually saying this
>>724297441Being an Xbox fan at this point really is to willfully cuck yourself.
>>724299172How many people still play this? I wish I could go back.
>>724300795It's a consequence of birth rates plummeting worldwide. It's hard to survive as a brand that's exclusively for children anymore when there's fewer children (and parents) to sell your products to than there used to be.
>>724301149Xbox did leave a legacy, it's just an entirely negative one. Paid online, paid DLC, microtransactions, Kinect, the disastrous Xbone launch, porting everything to PC, and then the final straw of still failing to produce anything of value after buying up damn near the whole industry. Every big decision they made has either been a catastrophe for gaming as a whole, for their own brand, or both.
>>724300698It only exists as a reaction to the nintendo brand loyalty and you can thank the three companies drumming up a fake console war.Before that it was just "yeah it's the only console I could buy/It's a good console and I like the game" but when the culture started appearing in their peripherals they started feeling like they were part of the tribe and get defensive.Happened to xboxfags too, just to a lesser extent. Mostly kids.
>>724296289>our games are now so shitty they cant even compete with the corpse of hollywood and brainrot scrollingThey, like all incompetent retards see this an unavoidable reality that they have no control over and is not their own fault
>>724301784No it isn't. She did that because it paid well and wasn't particularly onerous. Beats swinging a hammer for 12 hours a day breathing all kinds of bullshit or driving around in a forklift. What do you do for your work in your presumably non-dystopian non-hellhole? You spend too much time online and write dumb shit as a result.
>>724305359Plenty of zoomers like Nirvana because they see Kurt as "Le epic positive masculinity"
>>724300052They're not trying to compete with TikTok... it's a statement of resignation a whine really
>>724296289Good luck competing with TikTok. If I don't like something, I can just swipe and it costs me nothing. Meanwhile xbox will waste hundreds of millions on woke retarded shit
>>724296289>>724296289I remember when xbots posted the cope that they were competing with apple and Google, but now it's movies and tiktok? Lol, spoken like a true failure.
>>724296289No one doomscrolling or half watching Netflix is ever going to buy an Xbox.
>>724315809What movies are even good these days? Feels like thats dead too. Maybe Xbox can get a victory there, kek
>>724304856Not for long
>>724315570>I'm trans btw.
>>724315976>You spend too much time online and write dumb shit as a result.Way to double down
>>724301649And yet, it's a problem when women are rejecting ugly men.
>>724315889Uh shit like 50 shades of grey is still popular and demon slayer is pulling in numbers.
>>724296289Stop following these gay ADHD riddled faggot trends and just make a good fucking game nigger.That's what the fuck got us into this mess in the 1st place. By trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator you made games so generic, safe and boring nobody bought them and then you go on to blame your audience lmfaooooo.
Jesus fucking christ, Xbox will do literally ANYTHING other than make video games, they will blame everything but themselves for failing to do the ONE THING expected from a video game platform: HAVE GAMES PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY
>>724316104Xer doesn't understand how greentext works. Back to plebbit faggot.
>>724296289>We lost the most important console generation and there's nothing we can do because of backwards compatibility>Even if we make great games we can never win back our fans>We cant compete with movies and tiktok because kids dont like games anymoreWhy is xbox run by whiny fatalistic bitches, you're the biggest game company on earth, you're supposed to make the weather.
>>724316694>You spend too much time online and write dumb shit as a result.>trippling downMad man!
>>724296289>O-Our competition is Google and Apple...>W-We are competing with TikTok and movies...Xbots are literally like this.
>>724316812He works under a bunch of satanists. I don't fully blame him.
>>724296289Everyone working at Xbox is a fucking retard.
>>724296289Weird how Pokemon and Battlefield 6 sold gangbusters in the face of TikTok and Netflix.
>>724315570>What do you do for your work in your presumably non-dystopian non-hellhole?I "work" from home and make 6 figures
>>724302147They're saying they didn't succeed because no game company can succeed in today's tech landscape. They'll refuse to acknowledge the problem with this argument.
>>724296289>we mismanaged this thing into the ground>...it's actually zoomers on tiktok and movies n'shiet>#societyBeing a lying psychopath and having infinite money must be great
>>724296289No Xbox's biggest problem is they make shitty games no one wants.
>>724296289They only say this now after squandering IPs and realizing their only audience is dudebros who don't actually like video games.
>>724300176GameFreak accused phone games for Pokemon being even more easy than it was before as kid could spend more time with a phone on their hand than a 3DS.
>>724300052>Pizza Hut said their main competition isn't other pizza chainsIt's not, non-pizza resturants in a similar price range are
>>724302074Because that's anime, different and still thriving industry
Nobody under 30 watches movies. Genuinely go and ask someone who's ~20 years old what movies they like to watch. They just don't watch them.
>>724318187As a middle-aged millenial who always hated movies, I'm so goddamn glad this fucking stupid ass culture is dying>omg bro what do you mean you haven't seen Back to the Future it's a CLASSIC bro everyone HAS to watch it!
>>724297584you can play roblox on xbox doe
>>724318187Shortform video was created to nuke attention spans and kill Hollywood faster.
>Bonnie Ross killed Halo>Sarah Bond continues to kill XboxWoman in positions of the power in the gaming industry destroy everything they touch.
>>724319110All the actual gamer girls are reclusive autists and don't work in the industry. All the women in the video game industry are opportunistic cunts. They only see it as a stepping stone in the career ladder. They probably can't tell the difference between a Dualsense and a N64 gamepad.
>>724316812>We lost the most important console generation and there's nothing we can do because of backwards compatibilityThis always struck me as gigacope, normgroids don't give 2 cents about backwards compatibillity, plenty of people made the jump to PS5 and even more so abandoned consoles all together to build a new library on PC. Switch's success alone is proof that muh ecosystem is not as important as they claim, ultimately people buy new consoles to play new games. And when it comes to the ecosystem Xbox fans were much more attached to their Xbox profile with their custom avatars, gamerscores, games with Gold, Xbox quests and good boi points, etc...than Sony fags were to theirs, and yet many Xbone owners chose to leave.
>>724296289TiktokLol jews were sayin the same thing. It's got nothing to do with them bombing gaza to the stone age and doing other ad things. O feel like cuckbox (there I said it. Its selling its IP on other consoles will still maintaining a console, atleast Segal bowes out and started focusing on games).It's not liked anymore cos it does bad things. Xbawks 360 was announced to be 500 at first then it got down graded cos of all the hate. Then they made xbone which was online only and had a spy camera that can see through your clothes, they also had every game you buy being drm and on that console only. Then now they made the game pass way expensive. Thats the reason cuckbox is failing.
>>724297441Cuckbawks>>724297656They lost all the way back in the 360 days they released console knowing they would get the res ring of death. Then when xbone came out the matrix fellow was a retard adam orty sisnt help things ether. I dont even want to get into windows 11 and how bad that is. Ms is losing badly, it wasnt going to last. They have a history of doing ass hole moves they made to so some chip company would only work with ms they lost a lot of money in court case. Wish we had more os to chose from. Why doesnt valve make a OS for PCs. I dont need ms or windows I just play games and surf the net so valve making a OS that plays games and let's you serfs the net maybe let's me instal epic games and other clients would change the world.Also it would being things into full circle. Bill gates hated games and didnt want people playing games on windows or pc. And gabe use to work in ms. If a company that started making games and then made a os would be like a perfect irony to bill notliking games. Game company making an os that rivals or beats Bill's ms would be like poetic justice. I wish it happens
>>724300085Girl looks like emiru saw that on reddit it said the girl was saying is this okay and they fuck whole cuckbox watches.
>>724300403They thought everyone would buy it even bobby kotec looked like a decent human being compared to matrix. I loved his response when Geoff asked about the always online problem. He said they have a system for them the xbox 360. Some submarine said he can play xbox in the sub cos theres no internet and that hit hard. Some people live in the country side and it all failed. There was also adam orty responses. You have to think these people are always in a bubble where every one agrees with them. When they have to deal with real people they act like that thinking people wont answer to them. I hope it's a wake up call to bad people
>>724296289>Everything we make will be watered down mass market appeal trash.Glad I checked out of this company after the 360, thanks for letting me know I'm not missing anything of value.
>>724300052>well, i dont doit, so its not happening
