Xbox General Discussion 2K24
Rumor is that the success of the show is a surprise to Amazon, so MS is probably equally surprised. It's one of the reasons all the episodes were released at once. Amazon tends to do that with ip that had a small fan base or is kinda an unknown, they did that with “the boys” and a few other showsunionvgf.com
MS sacked everyone except the one that should get the boot.
MS got a lifeline at beginning of season when supply for PS5 was limited to be respectable.
All they need was consistance flow of good exclusive titles....
They cannot secured 3rd party exclusives, slow and not critically acclaimed 1st parties. Their games are going PS5 (the other direction is not happening), and dev are questioning is it worth to have their game on Xbox consoles.
Sales of xbox consoles have nosedive year of year..
Some think I am a PS fanboy which is funny since I do not own a PS5, or have intention to own one. The "evidence" is I am harsh to MS than Sony. Sony are not contantly shooting their own foot.
First off, I think Sony is bad company, worse than MS when it come to anti-competition and consumer, but they are producing the hits.
I hate monopoly (everyone should), and MS is not provide meaningful compeition. I don't want a future where we have one firm dominated the console market.
Yeah... it's a great console, but they don't make gaas games, so the hype dies pretty fast after newly released games and the good multiplatform games usually comes a few years after initial release (skyrim, witcher, doom etc).Yeah I always laugh at how dead the switch section is here. I'm pretty sure several members here have one and game on it.
Maybe it's due to the lack of negativity towards that brand and Nintendo?

Xbox was way worse before he got the positionBeen s*** since he got the position.
Although I feel someone else is really making the decisions and he's the fall guy.
There was a period of time yes, but he was also the head of studios during that time she he could have been part of the problem. For all his talk he hasn't really done much to fix anything other than open the checkbook. I saw someone on a podcast call him Phil Spender the other day and it made me laugh a little.Xbox was way worse before he got the position
But he does take very little heat for any bad or questionable decisions that get made
At least they had features and general X1 improvements like backwards compatibility. Which a massive reason its considered a standard. Regardless of whether game pass works out long term its still great to have now. Plus he deserves some credit for getting them to spend. They may have gone overboard as it turns out but they had to spend. First party was ridiculously barren and he inherited a mess.There was a period of time yes, but he was also the head of studios during that time she he could have been part of the problem.

It's just insane to me that a company that has those resources and the technical talent in so many areas there can be so mismanaged. They haven't created a single new hit IP under his leadership and the ones they had have all dropped in popularity. Is that all on him? No, I'm sure it's not but he's the face of it and he has more power than Mattrick when he ran the show as well as being allowed to spend a lot more money.
Yes he does deserve credit for getting them to finance it but he forgot that they need talent and a creative vision not just a checkbook. Yes the studios need to be given some freedom, at the same time there has to be a structure and expectations set.At least they had features and general X1 improvements like backwards compatibility.

But their studio management doesn't seem any better. I could believe all these new studios would work out really well if you could really point to many of the old ones as flourishing.
A good chunk of their games were exclusive, and a majority of all their games were on one console. Did they sell their previous ff games on only Steam, on pc?Looking at the slides, Square Enix really didn't hit their expectations. Like they were way off.
Most of SE releases were already multiplatform outside of ff7 remake series, Forspoken.
According to Square, they had exclusives out there.
"aggressively pursue a multiplatform strategy that includes Nintendo platforms, PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs"
So going by what Square Enix said (not some twitter poster crazy fanboy like Zuby), they clearly don't see a future where they have exclusives on PS anymore (as well as PC and Nintendo).
