this was super retarded
>>733782094This why the conman was fired.
>>733782094Phil's legacy. Lies of P. Bringer of hype, destroyer of studios.
>>733782094And to think this was before they put an indianness in charge
>>733782094They made sure nobody will buy their next system so at least they won't drag it for decades now.Especially now, with the new CEO. If we are lucky she will destroy Xbox even faster.
>>733782094I don't know what was going on in Microsoft's head when this Ad campaign was launched. No, I don't want my PC to be an Xbox, I want an Xbox to be an Xbox, retard. So glad Cloud gaming fizzled out like the grift that it was.
>>733782483It was the timeless strategy of cater to tomorrows customers while ignoring todays.
>>733782094The concept was fine. The execution sucked."This is an X-box" (clearly playing input laggy streamed from a non-X-box to your phone image)They also stumbled out of the gate by using ASUS and making the ROG Ally X $1000, $300 more than the most expensive Steam Deck. Plus:>No TrackpadsWHAT THE FUCK was Sarah Bond thinking by just using Chink Shit instead of copying the 'Eck?
>>733782094And? That's the course MS set long before it, you can pray to jeets but nothing would change. Nadella in first years pushed the multiplatform office hard and moved the line up. That's his only trick
>>733782094it was an ad campaign without any actual strategy attached to it
>>733783351>without any actual strategy attached to itthe strategy was pushing xbox cloud gaming in the hopes that people who already have something else like a ps5, pc, or switch or just didnt have an xbox would flock to cloud gaming because now its on smart tvs which a lot of people already own. its stupid and i dont know why they thought it would work no one wants cloud gaming its not taking off and this was trying to force it to
>>733782171There is literally nothing he could do to change that, if Phil hadn't bought Activision Blizzard the whole Xbox department would have been fired way quicker.>>733782837The problem with 'eck rivals is always the same.>way more powerful than 'eck>1080p or higher res>120hz or higher>larger batteryIn the end, all this stuff makes it more pricey than the deck. People don't WANT a powerful deck that plays the same games as the deck, they want a BUDGET deck, but for some reason, all the budget 'eck rivals never get mass-produced.>>733782261Microsoft has been trying to kill Xbox by all means since 2020.
>>733782094this post is an xbox
>>733783445Don't forget that they raised subscription prices by 50% not even gradually like Netflix.
>have game app fully integrated in the OS where you play hundreds of games with monthly sub>people still prefer to install steam and buy games from thereWhat is even the future of xbox at this point.
>>733782261I'm pretty sure there will be no next system, component costs make it completely not worth it to even bother
>>733782125>>733782171>>733782250And they replaced him with a Microsoft AI exec. They're not changing course. They're just being more honest with who's pulling the strings.
>>733783467There isnt much money in making a 'eck rival, which is why the other companies are going for a higher price point.
>>733782094what's an xbox?
>>733784715this is an xbox
>>733784715This
>>733783803>There isnt much money in making a 'eck rival, which is why the other companies are going for a higher price point.Which end up being futile, because people aren't going to pay a higher price just to play the same games that they can play in the 'eck
>>733783581The new AI bobblehead CEO will probably drop the price of game pass to rope in the third-world userbase to record them and train some shitty AI to sell some kind of automated QA testing tool to developers.
>>733785368That's not even a black guy cock more like some dragon dildoIt would look good if it was neon blue or red
>>733782094This clearly should've coincided with a new product. Releasing an ad that tells people not to buy from you is impossibly backwards.
>>733787491I feel like they could make Hololens a thing if they could get the price down, but of course they killed it. All the actual cool shit Microsoft does they either fuck it up and/or kill it. The Kinect was cool, the implementation just sucked shit. I don't even know what they could do to resurrect Xbox. I miss the days of actual custom hardware and not just modified PC components.

>>733783628I would say the same but I know MS better. They will release it at some ridiculous price point then use the zero sales to kill the entire hardware business.
