I am not in the business to shyt on Microsoft, but I think it's fitting to recap WTF has happened with this damn brand since Mattrick made that disastrous announcement at E3 2013 as Microsoft gets ready to launch project Scorpio.

The Kinect was a fukking disaster...there is NO spin @PS4 and @MeachTheMonster can do to justify including this shyt for gamers. It is a cool device, but completely unnecessary and a HUGE part why the PS4 got off to the start that it did and now crushing the XBOX One in overall sales. Nothing in this market sells well for $500+. New XBOX ONE S doesn't even come with the port to connect to it and have to either buy an adapter or get one free from Microsoft if you previously owned an xbox one and a kinect. This is the biggest admission a company can make to admit that they fukked up. Releasing and forcing a $150-$200 (retail) accessory that nobody wants.

Focusing so hard on TV and original programming like it was something gamers were after in the first place. Most of that focus has obviously been either scrapped or shifted their focus to gaming. It's good to see that they finally stopped focusing on shyt that the core gamers don't really care about.

"Power of the Cloud" was such marketing nonsense that I have called bullshyt on for 26424 hours and counting. What a fukking failure to try to justify the baby-shyt GPU inside the XBOX ONE and thinking that the "power of the cloud" would more than make up for it. Biggest feature to date? Driveatars and game saves...:comeon:

The DRM shyt...I don't even have to elaborate on this :heh:

Should have a removable hard drive instead of coming out with different SKUs to hopefully recoup some of their loses.

With the negativity does come some positives however:
Backwards compatibility :tu:
Humbled to a certain extent, price drops like crazy and bundled with 3-4 games depending on retailer.
XBOX One Controller was already better than the DualShock 4, The Elite is the GOAT controller
XBOX One games are pretty much all coming to the PC now (some even for free)

I think they are on the right path. Spencer has done a good job.

In fairness, I believe the partnership with the NSA was what forced Mattick to make those shytbrained decisions. There's no way a for-profit company would have actually done any of the shyt they were talking about doing. It made no logical sense.

I never liked Kinect. Them shoehorning that into the a$$hole of xbox owners was another big gaff (also driven by NSA initiatives).

And of course, the real misstep was having shytty software. MS has unlimited funds, there's no reason they can't fund a few AAA IPs every year.

This generation was theirs to lose, and lost it they did.

shytty software? More like they don't really focus on in house studios...what they did to RARE is a gaming crime.

The XBOX (Windows) Dashboard does so much more than the PS4 dash...

There's nothing to rebut.

What are you 12?


All of this stuff happened 4 years ago(or in the case of DRM it never happened)

And you've been making posts/threads saying the same shyt for 4 years.

Damn clown. Supposed to be the moderation around here :smh:

Nah,they still arent on the right path.

They are still clueless and directionless with no vision.

They shuttered one of the few studios they have(lionhead) and all their other studios are just factories for forza,halo and gears,all series that have to continued to sell less and less.

They announce a s version of their console,only to announce another new version of their console coming next year that makes these 2 models obolete. What reason does anyone have to purchase their current consoles on the market or the s? 0. They just torpedoed their own products :dead:

They have been in the market for 3 generations and have only a handful of actual studios. They should be opening new studios to create more games.

They announced all their games are coming to PC,their by making the xbox one absolutely pointless to own.

This entire gen has been a complete disaster start to finish. They are floundering.

You don't remember the PRISM debacle from a few years back? A lot of tech companies were signed up to build backdoors into their software and devices so the NSA could access them at will. All under the guise of "anti-terrorism". That's why the XBOX one required kinect and why it required you to be connected to the internet at all times. 24/7 NSA surveillance in your living room.

That wasn't the reason at all. They wanted it on 24/7, so you could say "Xbox on" whenever and the X1 would turn on

You're on your tinfoil hat shyt right now
