Crazy how the Xbox 360 was so succesful and then this nigga just fucked everything up and turned Xbox into a joke
>>
>>737891171
Yeah brand reputation tanked. However, Phil didn't really do enough to bring the brand back. Compare that to nintendo who had the huge failure of the wii u followed by the massive success of the switch

No, he's still wrong.
>>737891171
It's not that crazy. All of the Xbone's bullshit was preempted with better alternatives and the target audience that lured speculative investors during 7th gen completely failed to materialize even as they appealed to successively lower common denominators.
The Xbox would have been a joke with or without him, because it was already a joke.

>well, we saw most users were using their xbox for streaming apps
>so we decided to give our consumers more TV as the focus
This will never not be funny

What it did was pretty neat before HDMI-CEC
>>
>>737891060
No because they tried this in 2012, it's 2026 now anon nobody cares that they have to connect to the internet on their always connected devices lol

>>737892431
HDMI CEC didn't exist back then? What did it use then?

I can almost guarantee that PS5's probably spend more time playing Netflix videos than actual games. In hindsight, he was right.
>>
>>737891060
This move killed Xbox and it will soon kill Playstation
>>
>>737893090
You're obsessed with the PS5
>>
>>737893183
Guarantee it won't, Xbox just tried it too soon, 2012 consumers were still too used to actually owning their products
>>
>>737893090
But no one has to advertise that.
Apple never spends half a presentation on a new iPhone to tell tou you can watch TV shows

2020 doesn't count, PS sold because of covid induced shortages/uncertainty and the fomo that came with it, exceptional circumstance.

He nuclear holocausted whatever gains 360 made.
They literally never recovered.

This may come us a surprise to a libtard like you, but most red states didn't change suddenly in 2020---life went on.

Xbox is dying because zoomers never bought it. Nintendo will always be the family console, PlayStation is for poors/browns, PC is for gaming now.
>>
>>737898919
PS5 is 800 dollars now, my dude.
What "poor brown" is gonna buy that?
>>
>>737899037
>he thinks poors and browns buy things with their own money

YOU pay for their iPhones and PlayStations anon. Time for a tax hike!
>>
>>737891060
No? Lack of competition made Zony into what it is today, lazy and uppity.
>>
>>737891565
Don't worry Nintendo has shoah'd their brand in a similar way with Shitch 2
>>
>>737891060
I apologoze to everyone who bought an Xbox One lol.
>>
>>737891060
No, and Sony can fuck themselves all the same for it.
>>
>>737898919
Pre-Ipad Baby Zoomers grew up on the 360 and all bailed to play on PS4 or PC after because the One was dogshit and the one selling point of Halo also became dogshit.
>>
>>737891060
I bought a brand new xbox one for $50 7 years a go. I still feel ripped off
>>
>>737891060

It's crazy how one man can destroy a billion dollar brand overnight and still be employed after that. Don Mattrick should be a hobo begging for change in a sane world.
>>
>>737891060
I'm sorry Xbox One, will you forgive me?
>>
>>737891060
Thank you for killing PlayStation and Xbox and returning me to Nintendo and PC gaming under Valve in SteamOS. Without you, I probably would have still been either a Snoy or an Xbot. Thank you, Don Mattrick, thank you for helping me see the light.
>>
>>737891060
DON MATRRICKS YOU FUCKING FAGGOT

THIS GUY LEGIT GOT HIRED IN 2009
PRIME XBOX YEARS AND STILL FUCKING LOST

THEN HE MADE THE XBOX ONE

FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

Crazy how they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
And these faggots get paid more per year than most posters here will make in 10 years, just to ruin a brand through sheer incompetence.
And no, Phil Spencer didn't save XBOX either, he was just less of a faggot in comparison to Mattrick.
>>
>>737891060

He destroyed the brand image for them. He cost them potentially billions thanks to the way his decision making was received.
>>
>>737891060
Why? Don Mattrick led to Xbox's decade of mediocrity and relying SOLELY on Gamepasses
>>
>>737891171
it takes years to build a reputation but only a few minutes to destroy it
>>
>>737906298
Best analogy I ahve seen is that Mattrick gave Xbox a stab wound, Spencer failed to stem the bleeding.
>>
>>737891060
you killed halo

I'm sorry. You were right. Gaming was always going to go online only and xbox was just ahead the curve. You were right, if you don't have access to stable internet connection there's a product and it's called xbox 360. Without your guidance, Phil Spencer was able to come in and completely tank the xbox brand by giving away their exclusives and confusing the market with the names of their consoles.

Let's be real. Companies make PR mistakes all the time and Phil Spencer had 13 years to right the ship. He did absolutely nothing but tank it. If Don Mattrick (who reigned during the peak of xbox) was given more time xbox would not be in the situation it's in right now.
>>
>>737891171
It really wasn't when you consider how Peter Moore was the only Xbox CEO who knew how to market games consoles to people hta tplay games. All the other SEOs have yet to actually do anything of the sort and as of now actively do the opposite.

>>737906298
You're right. Spencer's job wasn't to stem the bleeding / revitalise Xbox, it was to extract as much blood from the stone while they could on the way down. It's why Phil's legacy is Game pass (a second subscription). Sharma will also be a bloodsucker

They had the right idea considering how smart TVs took off but spending most of your console reveal talking about TV is beyond stupid.
