the 360 was dead last
the og xbox outsold the gamecube, the xbone outsold the wii u, but the 360 will only be remembered for shit like star wars kinect
Handhelds will dominate.
literally nobody cares about achieving muh native 4k 144hz graphics any more. Upscaling DLSS/FSR works good enough for 99% of gamers who aren't graphics autistics.
You can basically run Crysis on a Steam Deck on medium with ray tracing off and it'll be playable. Art style, direction and good programming is far more important then specs that are wasted on pajeet outsource asset farms 40000 poly background npcs with fully modeled teeth.

There are different gamers. Mobile market is huge true. But ye there are also people who play CoD on their 100" TVs they ain't gonna switch to lol handheld.
>Xbox 720 is a shit name because normalgays would associate it with 720p.
Agree.
Xbox 500.
Then Xbox 700. 900. 1000. 1200. Etc. dull flat inoffensive. But easily to understand and saves naming disaster that was Xbox 360.
Should've just called it the Xbox 1080 instead of One. I do wonder who ever came up with those names after the 360.

Better than Series S/X tho, which is peak soulless corporate slop.
Literally and I mean literally no one said that at the time. Is this some israelitetube streamer’s opinion? Not ONE single person ever thought the 720 was a dumb name because of screen resolution when I was in middle/high school
>Xbox extinguish phase actually succeeds >all-digital, all transactions must occur over the Microsoft store, all peripherals must be Xinput, all online happens over GFWL, remote attestation prevents any 3rd party shenanigans
Microsoft always wants to be the middleman, Bill's dream is to return to a time when people needed to pay for computer time, even after personal computing became mainstream.
The Xbox plan for success
if the xbone, wii u and vita had a good exclusive, people would have bought them even despite any other reason.
they don't.
great games DO sell consoles, and phil spencer will be remembered as one of the biggest buffoons in the history of gaming
xbox did itself in by letting ps4 take the early lead by peddling a digital-only future a decade too early, destroying consumer trust in process, then also abandoning the idea of exclusive games, also a decade too early
not having a moronic naming pattern would've helped, but not enough to win the race
>>The alternate timeline where the Xbox 360 came out
???
Did I shift into one where it didn't?

>the 360 was dead last
Pretty big cope, but I understand that the NDF's had a pretty hard week with their reliance on twitter ecelebs and all.
but microsoft itself is a huge fan of nintendo, they even tried to turn the 360 into the wii halfway through the gen.
Dumb don mattrick didn't know that he also had to get rid of all the games if he really wanted to make a grab for nintendo's audience.
>they even tried to turn the 360 into the wii
i don't remember microsoft releasing these
Reminder that DS4 lightbars are the left overs from PS Move, as PS4 was going to originally with PS Camera, similar to Xbone with Kinect.
How many snoys broke their anuses with those?
they call it the 720 because you turn 720 the cold food of out hot eat the food
cow tools
chatbot moment
>The design is very human
imagine being stupid enough to think consoles will exist in 10 years
Your phone will be running games in 16k/ultra and there's nothing you can do about it
You said the same in 2012
oh boy! voodoo shovelware, freemium slop and half baked arcade games!
wake me up when I can play my steam library
Okay? And you're a Black person, so you automatically lost at life.
have you got L rizz
I've been hearing this shit for 10 years yet phones STILL cant play Vidya without draining the entire battery in an hour

Have you lost your mind? The average gamer, your CoD, Fifa, NBA player doesn't want a handheld.
They do if you can easily plug it into their TV and use a controller.
Pipedream. Mobile market is pajeets playing candy crush and real games are PC/Consoles.
There are different gamers. Mobile market is huge true. But ye there are also people who play CoD on their 100" TVs they ain't gonna switch to lol handheld.
First heard this in 2009, mobile gaming has actually regressed since then
Xbros... we were robbed
Bungie Halo 4 on the Xbox 720 was supposed to happen...
What happened...
WE NEED TO GO BACK
>ynw the hype for the X sphere 720
we HAVE to go back
If they have released something like this, I would have bought it. Its unironically a good console design

xbox 8k.
HIRE ME MICROSOFT
Why didn't they name it 360 in the first place
Should've just called it the Xbox 1080 instead of One. I do wonder who ever came up with those names after the 360.
Alternate timeline
>Xbox 360
then
>Xbox 1080
>Xbox 4K
>Xbox 5K
and so on
but the Xbox 360 could do 1080p

MS should have called the Xbone the Xbox 4 and the Series X Xbox 5.
Microsoft is just incredibly moronic with names
Pic related: Windows
What were they doing between 2016 and 2021?
They gave up on phones and W10 was supposed to be the "last" Windows.

why did it being so big become such a meme? its a console that sits on a shelf below your tv why does it matter if its big
>alternate timeline
Kek, he doesn't know.
Xbox has literally one every single console war.
I own nothing and I'm happy
The sad thing about xbox is that they could have had it all.
do you think xbox would've done better in the console race if the naming scheme wasn't so confusing? might be the wii u did so poorly too
if the xbone, wii u and vita had a good exclusive, people would have bought them even despite any other reason.
they don't.
