Phil Spencer's "this is an xbox" campaign dies and selling out xbox exclusives pushed him out
GOOD MORNING
>>733662180>Xbox exclusives are important >Thanks for letting me, know! We will foccus on selling them out even harder now
Dm me top of mind
>Working on it
This has to be a fall womanThey know this shit is sinking so they put this dumb bitch front and center to tank the hit
The sold the token brown woman out
>>733662180It was Sarah Bond who came up with the "this is an xbox" slogan. They can't pivot back to xbox the console because the majority of their game sales on are on PS5, the cat is out of the bag. They'll put out the $1300 Magnus then phase out of hardware entirely.
>>733664080>Majority of sales on ps5lol Sony kids are really desperate for good games, but you are delusional. They get their sales on gamepass and pc.
I HEAR YOU SARRRRlol She is a scapegoat. They give her lots of cash to pretend to help, then fire her for the next push of Xbox in 2027/2028
Looky that, after having no disc edition Series X for a while (not from a reseller) it’s actually cheaper than the digital version. It’s still $200 over the price of Sony but maybe they are trying to figure shit out finally.
>>733662180It was the most epic for the win ad campaign ever tho XD
>>733662180spencer was just a fall guy notice how he got hired in 2014 when woke truly began,with a white guy leading the division nobody would notice it until much later in the biden era, and then it was already too late because microsoft had sniped the biggest gaming studios and enshittened them with 50% womenz and 50% disableds and 50% africa,they made covid on purpose so microsoft could get more trannies in the studios and the remote stuff only happened so these trannies wouldnt have to attend work because everyone finds them repulsive,microsoft being microsoft rather accepts george soros money instead of making good products they pioneered the destruction of humanity
>>733665004>THIS IS A BOX TURTLE>THIS IS A CAT BOX>THIS IS A BENTO BOX>THIS IS A BEAT BOX1. Le cute.2. Le funny.3. Le epic ftw!tee hee!
>>733665057I dunno the new article seems to spin it like Phil was ready to leave last year and wanted to ease out while leaving much if not all the blame on Sarah when she was reporting directly to him. If you pour through all the exit/Asha intro write ups not a single one had anything to say about Bond as if she was invisible until now.
XBOX ANYWHERE IS BADmeanwhile, the new CEO>Gaming now lives across devices, not within the limits of any single piece of hardware. As we expand across PC, mobile, and cloud, Xbox should feel seamless, instant, and worthy of the communities we serve. We will break down barriers so developers can build once and reach players everywhere without compromise.just delete this retarded fucking company already holy shit
>>733665773It’s one of those good for the players bad for the business side of things. On paper it sounds nice having access regardless of device; look at the biggest games pretty much play anywhere games and you never have to worry if all your friends can jump on it’s a given. It makes sense for certain games but at this point they are so far behind in hardware locking anything just to their box would be a death sentence.
>>733666823They cant produce any hits to begin with and now they have to port games to everything, that cannot be cheap. Especially when you don’t sell.
>>733665507She looks good in this pic.I'd do her for sure!
>>733665773>We WILL win the digital library race!!!!
>>733662180People like Alejandro are so fucking retarded. Mind boggling that dumbasses like them exist.
>>733662180"New Xbox CEO is worried about birth rates, says Ai will save us"What the fuck? What does birth rates have to do with xbox and gaming? Why do they keep hiring these people?
>>733667463Trust the plan :)
>>733667463I know it's kotaku, but what the fuck?https://kotaku.com/xbox-microsoft-asha-sharma-birthrates-ai-fertility-2000672756
>>733664790>34*24≈800Who falls for this shit
>>733664080>They can't pivot back to xbox the console because the majority of their game sales on are on PS5Most of their money is made on live-service microtransactions just like Sony. Idk why they couldn't do the exact same thing. Port all their live-service MTX to every device while hoarding their single player prestige games for themselves. You can still play Helldivers and Marathon on Xbox.I get it people are attached to their digital libraries but let's say you already own a PS5 and you're making a decision on your next console. NextBox has Elder Scrolls 6. PS6 has... idk the rumored Egyptian God of War? Sony's propensity for cross-gen releases almost becomes a detriment. You already have access to PS5's entire library. Literally the only thing you'll gain from PS6 in its first few years is a higher performance version of PS5 titles.
>>733667463She will hook all white men up to semen extraction AI machines and pump the sperm directly into her womb to shit out as many mutt babies as possible.
>>733667563I dont understand it. What does it have to do with anything? What about focusing on making good games and working with developers, what about giving people a good product and games? What about leaving this socio-political horse shit behind? It means nothing, birth rates? Thats a new one, and what does it have to do with gaming? I don't care about birth rates, I dont care about Ai, it care about good games and having someone as a ceo that understands gamers and the culture?
>>733666823The assumption is that any game will be equally usable on any device. That won't happen. Instead, any game will connect over the internet to an AI that makes up what should happen.

I should DM her...
>>733668106>we can't get into leadership positions!Okay, here you are.>leaders can FAIL?!?!!?!!?!
>>733668178pajeeta made for bwc
>>733667853Do you not suspect when the nextbox comes (if it does) they won’t suffer the same fate of the series s/x, I’m sure nextbox games will still play on series just in a diminished capacity
>>733668178the account really is being ran by AI
>>733668828>Do you not suspect when the nextbox comes (if it does) they won’t suffer the same fate of the series s/x, I’m sure nextbox games will still play on series just in a diminished capacityBut no one owns a Series S/X. Any PS5 owner who wants to play Xbox exclusives would have to buy some kind of Xbox which is a win for Microsoft.
>>733669706There’s 30mil or so that’s not ‘no one’ and when your next machine is twice if not thrice the price and plays the same stuff ppl could just opt for the cheaper one if they absolutely needed to for exclusives
>>733669706>>733670514Ah my bad, I wasn’t saying it was bad just if they do crossgen again like Sony will that won’t translate to nextbox volume sold as the cheaper last gen would eat into those sales
What will /v/ say when she turns the sinking ship around and makes Xbox profitable again
>>733670702She stole Phils glory
>>733662180SURELY THE METAVERSE NEPOBABY WILL SAVE XBOX
>>733670514>>733670684ANYTHING would be an improvement for Xbox at this point. Getting someone on an Xbox is a win. You can at least sell Gamepass to a Series owner, you can't sell Gamepass to a PlayStation owner.
>>733665004you can just tell this was a womans idea
>>733662180If you can play the game on your platform, why is it important that no one else can play the game on their platform?This is an honest question that I've never really understood.
>>733671508If you follow that line of thinking then you will dissolve the hardware department, btw
>>733671665Well, it would reduce the hardware department to just producing a spec for PC hardware.Wait a minute
>>733662180>Phil Spencer's "this is an xbox" campaign diesIts cute that you think he, or any of these people, do anything but dance to the whims of shareholders. Not you and your embarrassing little brokerage account, but about 15 people who were promised perpetual revenue growth 3000 years ago.
>>733664575They publicly publish their earnings reports dude it's like 60%
>>733663870>you know all that stuff you hated?>yeah, that was their fault.>Are we going to start doing good things again? GOD nonot sure what their plan is here
>>733671803introducing Windows 12
>>733663870It was impossible not to offend everyone the direction the company went, they at least tried to salvage it with a campaign.
>>733670702>here's how the titanic can still come back home:
Yeah, all the xbox exclusives like..... uhhh.... ............
>>733663870Are people saying Xbox Anywhere is bad? It's awesome to be able to make progress in shit on my Ally x while i'm on a flight.
I swear 99% of people commentating on modern Xbox have no idea what they're talking about. Yes, it's true Xbox is in a terrible place, but their ideas on why are just wrong.Xbox anywhere is not bad inherently. The entire video game industry is currently in the negative or stagnant when adjusting for inflation, I believe we are currently in the first stages of a crash.Consoles are on their way out. They cannot compete with phones, PC's, social media, steaming. Especially with three consoles from major players, it's a saturated and doomed business. What this means is that Xbox anywhere is smart long term. Remember; regardless of the current market outlook that there is no money in hardware, it's all in software (especially when you can sell virtual clothes to children, aka Fortnite).Xbox anywhere puts their software everywhere. Yes, it cucks their console audience, but exclusives are an antiquated idea from a bygone era before the internet and social media revolution. Even Sony is slowly coming to terms with this by putting their games on PC.Microsoft's current problem is that they bought endless amounts of studios and have zero output. They spent 6 years working on Perfect Dark only to scrap it.They've spent almost a decade on rebooting Fable.Halo is managed by a incompetent studio.They have a never ending amount of IP's that are sitting there doing nothing.These retards could literally pay a team of 12 college students to make glorified ROM hacks of Banjo Kazooie, call it Threeie, and it would probably make more money than some of their major studios.They've got all the money, and even some of the talent, but the studios are mismanaged, and they're out of touch with audiences. Their only two genuinely successful franchises/games in recent years are Forza Horizon and Sea of Thieves.This new CEO has the opportunity to turn it around. But she needs to kick in doors and put her boot up arses.
>>733675618that's a lot of words considering that she was merely hired as the fall guy to take the blame for sunsetting the entire brand
>>733675992>two more weeks and xbox is deadbeen hearing this for over a decade now. maybe another two more weeks?
>>733662180Redeem my white cock you jeet whore sitting under my real CEO desk
>>733675618>Microsoft's current problem is that they bought endless amounts of studios and have zero output.literally the only thing you should have said, they spent a lot of money on studios, they made no games exclusive to their ecosystem
>This is an Xbox
>>733676238But that has nothing to do with Xbox anywhere, which is always the complain from retards.Audiences would buy into their ecosystem regardless of if they were exclusive games or not. Microsoft just needs output.
I liked not needing to buy a console.
this is the part where every faggot pretends they didn't spend the last 7 years crying bout xbox having fewer and fewer exclusives?
>>733670702this was one of their most profitable gens, rtard. think beyond your autistic console war shit
>>733663870I keep being told how amazing black women are. Here one was given huge amounts of power and she utterly failed.Can one of you leftist trannys explain what's going on? Why is your entire movement based on objective lies.
>>733667113>They cant produce any hits to begin withthey were toping ps5 charts for months, shit like doom debuted top of steam, hollow knight silksong was a game pass day 1, your autistic line of thinking is not based in logic. "Xbox games" sell, just not (as well) on Xbox., you retard
>>733675618>This new CEO has the opportunity to turn it around
>>733677137The jokes write themselves
>>733677528it's an objective fact that she has the opportunity to turn it around though. I wouldn't bet on it, but the opportunity is there.
>>733663870MS is so fucking retarded. They deserve everything they get.
>>733677448Forza sold well for sure
here’s how microsoft could actually get back into the console market>pull consoles for 2 or 3 console gens>major rebrand, zero traces of xbox>make an actually appealing console with actually appealing games>once your new brand has been cemented for a few generations, make a marketing push for “retro games” (xbox and xbox 360)this is of course assuming microsoft is willing to play the long game, but we know they wouldn’t do that
