>xbox says they're going back to exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution>they're not timed exclusives, they're real exclusives xbros, we're so back!!>also on PC>...so it's a nothing burger and xbox is scheduled to keep dying, good to know
>>740926364Consoles are a dead paradigm, they can't keep up with PCs upgraded piecemeal and the constant cycling of shortages means that delivering one whole machine that's a reasonable upgrade on the last for a reasonable price is exponentially more difficult, even if you hide 2/3rds of the price in subscriptions and upcharges.
>>740926364Microsoft also own Windows
>>740926364So it's like back in the good old 360 days?
>>740928121>Microsoft also own WindowsThat's irrelevant. It's not an exclusive if there's ANY other device that can play it. "Microsoft owns both" is the same fallacy that made Phil Spencer fail. If it can be played on a PC, it is not an incentive to buy an Xbox.
Sucks for them that Gears has been gayniggerAIDS since the original trilogy ended.I can't say for sure, but I get the impression that the market for Gears of War has changed from Dudebro to leftist Millennial faggot, same as Mortal Kombat.
>>740928325fuck you exclusive niggers your console its doomed since xbox juan and deserve death for the jew online sub and more shit
>>740928325Windows means DirectX and its exclusive to Microsoft and their IHVs.
>>740928325Retarded faggot.
>>740928210How many games were even released in that format? Halo 2 (the "Windows Vista seller", 3 years after the Xbox release lmao), Gears 1, fucking Shadowrun?
>>740928864>>740928876No, you are retarded. We are NOT interested in what's "exclusive to Microsoft" (a concept that's fucking stupid to begin with since all Windows games can be played on Linux now). We are only interested in Xbox, the physical fucking machine Xbox and nothing else at all. THAT is what needs exclusives to have a reason to exist. And if it can be played on ANY other platform whatsoever, including fucking Windows, it is not good enough. It needs to literally be hostage on only the actual physical Xbox console or it's not good enough.
>>740926364Next consoles will be in $1000+ price range. If everyday people are priced out, then it'll flop. Playstation too.>but muh smartphones cost that much tooYou need a phone. People are constantly on their phones. You don't need a console. People are getting poorer and poorer, and then further bled dry from corporations in every area of living. They're not going to shell out $1000 just to play a few games that aren't as good as the old ones.
>>740926364Unironically how much more would have xbox one sold if it kept every game as exclusive? It was only a year into the gen until that cuck Spencer announced every game will come to PC
>>740930294It was basically doomed no matter what. The sheer nosedive in quality after 2011 for the general gaming industry just couldn't pull Xbox out of the hole they dug for themselves with the Xbone reveal, especially after reactionary Sony quickly filled in their own identical hole before they had a chance to jump into it, which allowed Sony to surf on all of the 7th gen momentum that was left without actually doing anything.Microsoft did everything wrong and everyone else was also doing everything wrong, there was no point in hoping that someone would bail them out they needed to start the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish cycle from scratch and find something worth corrupting and fucking up, as well as someone stupid enough to trust them and use more of their garbage APIs.
>>740928210>>740928939Yeah a ton of 360 games didn't make it to PC, even Gears of War 2 is still a 360 exclusive.
>>740930793>58 million is a failureif we are gonna spin it like that, sega fans would have to kill themselves
>>740926364
>>740929051Yep, you get it. It'd be nice go back to how it was in the 6th/7th gens. An actual reason to get a console. If that shit is on Windows too what's the fucking point? Snoy also realized this and is why they're pulling back from PC. Making exclusives multiplat damages the brand.
>>740930294>>740930793The Xbone would've fared better had it not decided to port its exclusives, 100%. It sold half of what the PS4 did and the current Series systems have sold half of that. If you're in the console game you need exclusives otherwise you're fucked.
>>740926364Is a shitty pc better than a console? I don't want to stick with xbox net Gen and I'm not cucked enough to buy a PS system
>>740930874>Quick, throw the big numbers at himFor Microsoft, that is absolutely a failure, considering that the 360 has 84 million lifetime sales.
>>740927281>dead paradigmLmfao. What's dead is PC. Consoles are the future, with these fucking PC part prices we need companies to front some of the cost.
>>740931046No. Just get a used PS5. Optimization is dead and pc parts are too expensive. What do you mean by cucked? Xbox won't even let you play your on disc games without making an account.
>decide to bring back console exclusives>have no idea how to do it so just lie about which games were console exclusives>too lazy to clean up your mistakes
>>740926364>>740929051It's the same shit as always.Same paid shills/Indians too. Threads about Xbox suddenly appear when there is a new console, then there is nothing after releaseThen you have genuine retards (fanboys) who believe shit like >>740928121>Xbox is PC too :^)>Xbox had the best presentation (multiplats only) >>740928325That was the best thing to happen though>>740931032What games did they have back then anyways?
>>740930959Why do you want a reason to buy a console? Is the fact that you need a reason not proof enough that consoles are shit? PC doesn't need a reason to buy one. You buy one because it's the best platform available. Why would you want to go back to the days where games are held hostage on shitty underpowered plastic boxes instead of being able to play anything on your PC?
>>740931154cucked as in having to still with deal monthly subscriptions, limited game library and paying for mods, perhaps I will look into handhelds
>>740926364Did you forget your PC and phone are also Xbox?
>>740928121Haven't found a single one that doesnt run on Linux.
>>740931046>Is a shitty pc better than a console?Yes. The sheer amount of freedom you sacrifice on console is never worth it. And you can always upgrade the PC.
>>740931076Consoles are just shitty budget prebuilts with adware, spyware and deferred costs. No one compares PC prices by taking out an 8-10 year loan and then just pretending that the loan doesn't exist.
>>740931189ridiculous but this pretty much confirms that they listen to console fanbase. Now if only they added achievements in og xbox games and did new additions
>>740931729lol, delusional pcfoid
>>740931580they rolled that back. Now XBOX is XBOX.
>>740930294What exclusives nigger? ekbok always was the console for poor niggers whose parents couldn't afford a PS
>>740932218Dead Rising 3 5.7 million Dead Rising 4 1.8 million Forza Horizon 3 2.5 million copiesForza Horizon 4 8-10 millionCuphead 6 million Ori 1 and 2. 15 million Gears 4 and 5. 6 millionNow remove pc and other platforms from that equation and consider how many would have bought xbox because of that
>>740926364Gonna end up on PS Pentruple anyway, maybe even Switch 2
>>740933262Yeah that's what I think too. When nobody buys the new xbox yet again it's what they'll resort to eventually. You can never trust what xbox says, they flip flop like crazy.
