They been irrelevant all generation. But we never seen a "console" before with multiple storefronts.
I dunno what the plan is, if any.

They have to give their core diehards a new console even if only for Gamepass, but many are done with them.

They should try something like a version of gamepass with only Microsoft Game Studio games to see if Nintendo and Sony would bite on that being on their storefronts. Similar to EA Play and Ubisofts.

I know they can't completely bush Gamepass, but they're in a fukked up spot. But it's ALL their own doing.

360 came out 19 years ago....it was an anomaly. Cats need to let it go.

Their plan is to test the waters with these different niches and hopefully expose more people to Game Pass.

That's why they dropped the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition earlier this year too.

and that flopped too.

they literally look like they're throwing shyt at the wall.

the dumbest thing they did was put their 1st party AAA games on Gamepass Day 1. It was gonna catch up to them. A Very shortsighted decision.

But Phil is still employed and getting bonuses :dead:

Naw I think the bigger issue was they kept dropping brick after brick when it came to their big exclusives this generation.

Even today the best "Day 1" games on Game Pass are mostly 3rd party deals or COD.

reason I said that is these AAA games costs too much to be putting on a subscription service day one. Others I can understand, but not your big joints.

COD on there Day 1 is retarded. But again, when they started this shyt, anyone with a brain could see that all it would do is cannibalize your sales and condition your base to think they are getting your exclusives on there Day 1 so why buy? That shyt should have ended this generation. Wait a few months THEN put it on there. But it was too late.

shyt was asinine.
