>>733656085At this point saving the industry means building it back from first principles in a total reset. You can't make a modern game that takes advantage of even these low end laptop in a box consoles without a massive team. And that massive team will be people trained inside this fucked up system.Create a video game university in the mountains where people isolated from the entire world study for 8 years minimum to learn the ways of the 6502 assembly coder, working up slowly to C and software 3D then only in their last days are they allowed to see vulkan and shaders. They are your engine programmers.Meanwhile another set of travelling warrior monks have to wander the earth, penniless and experience life in its most raw fashion. They are your game designers.Video games suck because it's DEI hires directing stories written by people who have never left the city and programmed by people who were "taught" how to work Unreal by youtubers.

Only chance to save it is to release exclusive games that are actually good. This is an inherently anti consumer option since releasing a game on as many platforms as possible benefits everybody except for the console maker, but it’s the only way they can survive.

At most, I would actually make ActiBlizz and Bethesda get their asses up and actually develop some games that don't take half a lifetime to be released, but even then they wouldn't be exclusive anyway.The only real solution would be creating their own PC storefront to compete with Steam, but even that's a dead on arrival plan because Microsoft's reputation has been rock bottom for years and it would only give them yet another excuse to vibecode and break people's PCs. It's dead Tim, the OG and 360 glory days will never come back because there's zero gaming passion in the company left.
>>733667438XBOX HIRE THIS BEE
>>733667137None of those are impossible or even unreasonable, the only debatable one is pricing the X at $400.

Also, Sony will not stick to their 7th-9th gen direction. They're returning to their 5th-6th gen direction because why bother putting all this money into this shit when there is no competition to do it, plus it's a waste of money.>>733667736It's over, man. Give up. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve own the gaming market now. The only thing Microsoft will do is pay Nintendo, Sony, and Valve their 30% and shut up.
>>733656085Go all in on weeb games. It worked for Playstation, weeb cooker games are what made Playstation as big as it is today. Buy Koei Tecmo and make sequels of all their franchises, particularly Nights of Azure, and make them all shamelessly horny. What are puritans gonna do? Install Linux?

>>733667762microsoft has made more games than sony
>>733669654Sony's shifting away from live-service and AAA singleplayer movie slop games. Gran Turismo 7 and Astro Bot awakened something within them, same with their failure in Japan, the rise of the Switch, and Valve's Steam Deck and Steam Machine. Seeing these smaller games dominate the big games brought back that early PlayStation spirit lost in the past. Sony is going back to their roots while Xbox dies in a pit of fire, the one it created for itself. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve will have their own niche and bring gaming back to its glory golden age that was lost when Microsoft entered.

Concord was the awakening the Samurai moment for Sony.
>>733656085Pivot Xbox to a Steam Machine but with Windows.
>>733656085Give studios absolute autonomy and demand they no longer create games by shareholders/board meetings. You want the single biggest issue with studios now, what’s killing gaming: it’s not being woke, it’s having too many fucking hands in the pot, especially from now gamers trying to second guess their audience, or worse: trying to change the world via their bs.It’s true. We will play woke games. We always have. But it if it’s shit. And not if it’s forced down our throats. That’s when the anti-woke brigade comes out and starts trashing shit. If the game were good, people always overlook shit they’re otherwise mock. Every fucking time. There’s no passion anymore. No security for developers. They want to appease a board room, get paid, and fuck the games and the fans. I don’t blame them with this economy. Look at Xbox. They failed because they got too damn greedy with the series S. Someone in a boardroom said “hey guys, we’re charging X for the series X, but what about those people that don’t have that? The ones on the fringe, saving their money- let’s get that fucking money NOW by selling them a total shitcake solution” only to find out later that they gimped their entire fucking platform and their reputation. Anyway. Bring back the passion. Skip the CEO board room shit in games.
>>733656085It was already over for them by like 2020. The only appropriate course of action would have been to travel back in time, completely restructure 343 so all of the talentless hacks are gone and to stop Phil from buying Double Fine and Activison Blizzard. Maybe see if you can buy out Respawn from EA after Titanfall 2.
There's nothing to fix.I'll keep showing up to Xbox if they haecosystem. If not I'll play it elsewhere. Always been this way. Even on original Xbox. Even if it's devolved into "green tiles" I still prefer the UI and ecosystem and controller.
>>733656085>How do you save it from the current situation ?I'd hire about 100 sexy young women to serve as my harem while I pocket money from microsoft
>>733669395>Go all in on weeb games.They did this in the early 360 era, it backfired because Xbox players hate anime and buy Xbox because they hate anime.
I push the emergency button.
>>733675194This game's failure proved to Microsoft that Xbox's fanbase had zero tolerance for any experimentation. They were there for shooters and racers, period. This game would sold 10x as much on PS2.
>>7336563302pbp
>>733656085I'll release the Saaarbox, a 16 bit console for 100 rupees
>>733656085Stop releasing games on other consoles and pc. There, it’s saved
First of all, Xbox is a Christian company. I want every person in the company to be able to recite the Apostle's Creed on request. That means NO MORE members of other faiths. That's right. Name a Non-Christian faith and you can safely put them in sentences like "no more ____ at Xbox" or "we're not ____ing around anymore." Second, no non-gamers at Xbox. Get them the fuck outta here!Third, Xbox is a game developer that makes consoles that run our games to a certain standard. We make bespoke single-player games that we fund based on what REAL gamers think. There's already tons of fucking multiplayer games. That's why we're hiring a panel of elite influencers and Youtube cranks to help decide the next big thing before we throw money at it. Fourth, we use Unreal 5 for everything. Who cares?! Saves time. Fuck you!
>>733667736it is both impossible and unreasonable. Not only Microsoft is pure evil but now with their monopoly on mayor ips this simply cannot happen. Microsoft under oath said they were not going to make ips exclusive which now in retrospect tells me the move to the buy out was to force Xbox into death as it practically tied Xbox hands to hold any platform exclusivity lmao
>>733656085>How do you save it from the current situation ?you don't, it's been doomed since xb1. exclusives don't work anymore when game budgets are hundreds and hundreds of millions, limiting yourself is pointless unless you're nintendo and make games for tablets.
>>733673353And lose even harder to Valve, it's over, they need to go third party and just drop the hardware. I don't know why it's so difficult for people to just move on from this shitty gaming box.
>>733669936This is more delusional then xbox being exclusive again. Sony's next big title is movie game about an atheist POC bald lesbian. Get real retard.
>>733676927It's one of the last ones, Sony plans to gut their western branch into support studios after that bombs.
>>733656085Run off with all the money

>>733678487How long will that shit last?
>>733656085Make Xbox a true Steam competitor instead of a Nintendo/Sony competitor.Consoles are an outdated business model. Consoles won't die anytime soon, but won't grow either.Valve isn't perfect but at least they are walking in the right direction.
>>733656085Nuke AI and declare that none of Xbox's current or future output will use it. Emphasize a focus on game optimization so that the Series X and Series S can have an extended life span.Bring back the backwards compatibility charts and add more games that missed the first go around.Work with Nintendo to port Diddy Kong Racing to NSO for brownie points. As opposed to making new titles exclusive, instead include exclusive items or perks to playing on Xbox that will be enough to matter but not enough that people get sour grapes on other platformsEnd the UWP experiment once and for all because fuck that garbage program formatKill the Halo 1 remake, refine what worked about Halo Infinite and streamline the rest for a sequel instead.Reduce the price of Game Pass and make the current price instead for a version that gives you all the DLC for whatever first party titles are included with it.Release a free version of Windows that specifically replicates the Xbox architecture so people can build their own Xbox consoles for personal use, while providing the specs they should target for Series S and Series X levels of performance
>>733679201How would you pull that off? Lock everything down with nextbox and no more sharing? A machine with twice the price of the next PlayStation with like 20-30% of the console market and if you plan to go against Steam you’d have to not include Steam integration or you’ll never get sales through the Xbox storefront. I don’t know where or what they can do from here to get back what they lost.
>>733679060Years and years dude. Were you not around for the insomniac leaks or something?
>>733680080Fuck, how can Sony get out of this?
What the fuck does "snoy" mean, it doesn't even make sense, it's childish swearing
>>733656085Open a live stream with the title "OUR MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT EVER" with a 24 hour countdown, when it reaches zero, it opens with pic related crucified, and Phil Spencer with a whip in hand, saying he will get one lash for each day since Elder Scrolls VI was announced. After it's over, he announces TES VI will be co-developed by two of their recently acquired studios, Larian and CDPR, they have three years.Later I lay off everyone from Blizzard and Activision with no severance package and ready to fight them on court if necessary, will pay off the judge in secret.
>>733656085Hi OP, DM me what's top of mind.
>>733656085Get microsoft to pay to have every studio make their biggest franchise a new game. So Banjo Threeie, elder scrolls, fallout new vegas 2, halo, mass effect 4. Then you just release all of them only for xbox and make sure everyone knows that there are no games on playstation. If it fails then you just accept defeat and recoup the cash putting the games on other platforms
>>733682161>Later I lay off everyone from Blizzard and ActivisionJust line them up against the wall and kill them all with a firing squad manning an MG 42.
i actually don't even know anymore. the brand name is worthless now. AI has fucked the price of PCs and consoles. they've invested too much into gamepass and to no one's surprise it is not profitable. they have no exclusives anymore. i'd honestly just sell halo and gears of war to the highest bidder, then close up shop.
>>733656085produce and sell video games
>>733656085Try to fix relations between Xbox and Japanese devsRehire Platinum/Kamiya to finish Scalebound (He's still indicated he wants to do it)Kill Gamepass and make online cost five dollars a month.Revive exclusives.Go around funding indies with the caveat that they can only release on Xbox and PC.Use AI as an excuse to fire all the worthless employees, pretend to use it, hire good employees after it 'sadly' didn't work.Publicity tour with vidya influencers when games in the pipeline are nearing the end.Boom, brand saved.
>>733667641Simple. You spin off the whole gaming division from Microsoft. Activision Blizzard, Xbox, Flight Simulator, ZeniMax, all going with. M$ takes a 30% share in the company, not enough to make decisions, just to fund it.
>>733656085Release a version of the S that has a disc drive. Still 399 tops. Bring back xbox live for 60 a year. Nothing they offer is high end or luxurious. Stop charging as if you’re a luxury item. Pander to middle America. Affordable price point is paramount.
>>733690330>Kill Gamepass and make online cost five dollars a monthThis is is extremely important. Killing games with gold would have been stomachable if they kept the 60 a year gold price. Killing both at once while the console went up to 700 was insanity. For a console with a disc drive, a single year subscription, and a single game you’re approaching $1000. Thats simply outside of the expendable income for much of the consumer base.
>>733656085I'd just partner with Valve and make the next Xbox a glorified Steam machine.

>>733690705>Release a version of the S that has a disc driveThis was such a fumble, thinking that people who buy physical media were going to spend 2-300 dollars extra rather than just not upgrading to “current gen”. Anybody who cares about backwards compatibility wasnt suddenly going to buy a new console for 700 dollars that they then had to reinstall every game on and lose all save files.
>>733656085You'd need a time machine to save it at this point. The Xbox One was the start. It's done.
>>733656085>You became the CEO of Xbox, effective immediately.>How do you save it from the current situation ?i would release the epstein files and liquidate the entire operation. no more xbox. then i would hire people to invade the resell market and collect ALL of the xbox products left. then just sell the same used shit back to the retarded consoomers who absolutely NEED to have the rare item. i would essentially end all operations and still make a billion dollars. and then you can always just start a new project and return to beat the ps67
>>733656085I strip the company down to Minecraft, Call of Duty, Diablo, Warcraft, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls. I rush everything I can out the door within the next year and then sell off or close any studios I cannot afford to roll into one of the franchises mentioned before. I roll all current subscriptions for these games into Gamepass and force those players to pay $30 a month to retain access. I completely cancel all Xbox hardware and mark all Xbox hardware for EOS 2030. Current gamepass subs must move to PC or Xcloud. I then take all of my most famous IP and use them to promote Copilot and cameo in the handful of games the new Copilot Gaming actually supports. I leave within 4 years of seeing these decisions executed to avoid the fallout and get a better package from my next CEO gig at a bigger company that I will drive into the ground before bailing.
>>733667736PC,ucks don't like consoles to have exclusives so anyone that correctly points out the reason Xbox doesn't sell like it used to is lack of exclusives gets seethed at Hilarious watching retarded E-Celebs tip toe around this issue because for some reason arguing that exclusives A) Drive up hardware sales and B) improve the games industry via competition makes Indians seethe since they want to play shit on PC
>>733656085xbox from its inception was a trojan horse to get windows into your average consumer's living room to expand the tentacles of the future surveillance hell they've had planned for a very long time. they tipped their hand with kinect, but institutional momentum / true believers like phil spencer allowed the brand to barely stay afloat for the last decade. now in the age of smart tvs and home assistants and smartphones and windows copilot which surveil by default, microsoft suddenly isn't interested in having big bulky boxes in people's homes.they are however interested in pushing people deeper into reliance on the cloud and keeping them within the increasingly hostile windows ecosystem. which is why they want to keep the xbox brand alive on some level and publish hot IPs which will keep people plugged into their services
STEP #1 (and the most important) : Remove jeetsSTEP #2 : Everything else will follow
I feel like the top executives at Microsoft should be institutionalized
>>733676509They're definitely going to keep making Windows and they have enough money to make a smaller console. This should be win-win.

Start sucking Jensen's dick (harder) and make a deal for a discount on X number of chips for an xbox per number of AI chips bought. Make a premium hardware with that Nvidya and go all in on DLSS and exclusive games.

>>733656085Literally and figuratively emulate steam by becoming what the gabecube is supposed to be. Add in the xbox(steam)workshop and essentially become a multiplayer drm machine for those who want to play games with anticheat but don't want to brick their computer. Also drop the Series S requirements for new titles. Advertise it as such. The new Xbox is just as delayed as the gabecube and ps6 so it should act like it.
>>733656085I make games exclusively for xbox. No PC port and absolutely no PS port. I also prioritize backwards compatibility and continue to expand the BC library.

>>733699891Copying Valve will not save them, why bother getting an Xbox when the Steam Machine will be cheaper, have SteamOS pre-installed, and is optimized for Steam games? Not only that, the Steam Controller is built to play PC games with Keyboard and Mouse. Why even bother getting an Xbox doing any of that when the Steam Machine already has it beat while releasing a lot sooner? It's cute that Xbots want to try and believe Microsoft can copy others but when that strategy didn't work for Sony, what makes you think it'll work against Valve?

>>733701096playtonic devs have proven to be useless leftovers from rare, the developers responsible for making rare games good are not part of playtonic or nu-rare
>>733700012Based.In fact, make everything exclusive to something.Reasons why>nothing can totally dominate the market (and even if something got close other platforms would make competitors)>more unique games (devs couldn't go lowest common denominator with one mega slop game because individual audience of a platform wouldn't be large enough, they'd need to fill out genre niches)>optimisation (they've only got one platform and/or ecosystem to build for)>platform consideration (every game would be built for the strengths and weaknesses of where it is and cater more to that audience. that would also make DEI harder to get away with since people would be more personal engaged)>more completive industry (I can't the only one that correlated the slow death of exclusivity with companies taking after each other's bad choices. They should be getting on over on each other, not us)>console wars (sounds contradictory to the last point but it's all just bants at the end of the day. more fun than the PoserCommunity trying to convince us things have never been better when there's aways some kind of speculator faggotry apocalypse going on)
id also make it a secret gooner box so you can use it to watch porn on your 4k tv. it will include a browser with built in ublock and file download capabilities.

>>733700576>will beanon, the ram shortage. Xbox still has production set up and stock on shelves. Gabecube got nuked alongside everyone else because of sam altman and his gay sloppa machine. Xbox simply has self-imposed gates they can open. Will it be a runaway success? Probably not but it'll save Xbox. Consoles are for normalfags who don't PC. I have both and the only reason I have an xbox is my bros who I get to hang out with even though we're cities away. Xbox has brand recognition and is simple enough for normals(the majority with that sweet sweet money) to pick up and play. Steam is simple sure, but gaming PCs have an IQ and price requirement. Consoles have morphed to mini gamin PCs and this is just acknowledging the writing on the wall and adjusting accordingly.
>>733656085Find ways to increase my salary and try to keep the position long as possible. Due not having any expierence in that position I will fuck up for sure but now I'm a millionaire.

>>733656085where the fuck is the old bungie crew working at? hire them, give them ONE chance to make a game, it has to be like halo 3 but it does not have to be halo, they can come up with something new, i just want the same gamplay loop aka the holy trinity of haloalso release a new DALL-E with zero censorship or safeties, let ai sloppers generate literally anything regardless of how degenerate or incorrect it is

>>733656085I mean I would probably run the company into the ground trying to get Japanese games on the system like they did in the 360 era. I know that it probably didn't work out since they all but gave up on Japan the following gen, but the 360 was a JRPG and Shmup miracle machine. It's not a brand that can win on a gimmick, but POSSIBLY the exclusives. I'd probably also try to fund sequels to games like Kameo and Golden Axe: Beast Rider because fuck you I like them. Fuck it, I'd buy out GoG and try to get as many niche games on the digital marketplace as possible while I'm at it. I'd probably cut the fat and sell off a lot of studios to get this done if they can't produce the games I want. >>733665404Good point>>733669395They tried this back on X360 and it didn't work. Obviously the OG Xbox dudebros don't like it, but weebs didn't buy a 360 for some reason despite being pandered to.
>>733702258Not exclusive, hence modern games are so cheeks.
>>733656085If I have effectively infinite money and infinite time, I'm absolutely going around begging AA and auteur types to make exclusives for me and footing the bill for when they all inevitably bomb. At least we could get some cult classics out of my tenure.
>>733656085Banjo Kazooie 3 exclusive to Xbox.
>>733704362I still regret never getting a PSP when it was still in production, the last based handheld with good vidya before the trannyfaggots started infesting the industry.
probably do something new and inventive to stay afloat like netflix's game subscription service branch out into movie streaming + games all in one with no hardware required
