This and even PS exclusive is failing. I have loved PS as a console up until the 5 but the only thing the 5 really offered that I wanted to get it for was R&C Rift Apart. I got a PS4 late since I've moved onto PC, and I wanted the Shadow of the Colossus remake and Gravity Rush, but the PS5 has nothing exclusive to it that i would want. Bloodbourne and Demon Souls maybe but the prior is a PS4 game and the later is meh. I'm not a Soulsbro and just want to try them. Rift Apart came to PC so I got a PS5 controller and it's just better.
I'll get one used or if they make a proper slim but as it is, it's kind of a mediocre system.

The update it got something like a year or two ago is objectively worse than the previous one because you are forced to see adds and you can only have your top two groups pinned to the home page anymore.
Physical copies still exist and you have all of the Xbone BC to work with. I exclusively buy them and they're usually cheaper.
>Don Mattrick being a moron poisoned the well since Xbone and it keeps going.
This right here for me. Xbox was the first system I bought with my own money and I absolutely loved my 360, but that's when I jumped ship. That gen I got a PS4 and built a pc, but now I just play on pc and whatever nintendo console. Oh and no exclusives I want since everything comes out on pc anyway.
I blame Phil for not turning things around. We've seen the other two either fix the console or make sure the next one was good. Phil failed both times.
Zero console exclusives. Game Pass is also an unsustainable business model that relies on them selling an infinite number of consoles. Game Pass really isn't a good deal either unless you're blowing throw multiple shitty games a month. Most people don't play that many games and get a better deal just buying the games they do want.
All of it, management is lacking, they keep letting the studios make mediocre shit and since now those studios are backed by a trillion dollars company none of them feel like they need to put some effort into their games, I think that unlike the others the hardware team did their job well but even if Series S as a concept is a good idea and the execution was perfectly fine, none of them took into account the nu hack devs that are plaguing studios crying about having to optimize their games so having 2 skus backfired.

No one's gonna be asking for an Xbox for Christmas over a PS5 or even a Switch or Steam Deck. Vidya consumers are fricking stupid but even they know where to draw the line.
t b f as shallow most of them might be, those are still way better than any recent Sony release.
not exclusive
Exclusives are a dinosaur from the past. And thank the gods for that. Console is just another platform to play games on. Also MS=PC=Xbox its the same beast.
>Exclusives are a dinosaur from the past.
not when sony and nintendo still getting them. Hell even steam has exclusives. Microsoft playing nice is only leading to eventual death of xbox
>Sony
The only Sony exclusives which won't get ported to Steam in the coming 2-3 years are the Souls games and GT7, timed exclusivity is fricking meaningless unless you're a braindead consoomer. >Nintendo
Easily emulatable, come back in a year and you might have a point.
People don't care about exclusives except a few select gays on Ganker and maybe reddit, most people won't purchase a console for a couple of games a year when they already have a backlog.
>timed exclusivity is fricking meaningless unless you're a braindead consoomer.
Nintendo is in a niche of its own. Sony though ? lol. Limited time exclusives dont count. MS and Xbox knows they cant compete in console sales, they dont give a frick. They could literally give them out for free. Their aim is gamepass and selling as much games as possible.
>Limited time exclusives dont count.
Timed exclusivity counts and it's insane you're discounting it. To (You) it doesn't matter, to the general public it absolutely does matter. You think someone who wants to play Spider-Man 2 is gonna wait until the PC release in two or three years rather than playing it on a PS5 right now and talking about it with their friends right now? Get real. If Starfield was only on Xbox and not on PC with a timed exclusivity of three years you better believe their marketing + hype + Bethesda would have moved Series systems regardless of how good of a game it is or isn't. As long as they do the marketing right, it's something people are hyped for to begin with, and you can't get it anywhere else people are going to cave because of it being popular and not wanting to be left out.
>You think someone who wants to play Spider-Man 2 is gonna wait until the PC release in two or three years rather than playing it on a PS5 right now and talking about it with their friends right now?
Yes. It's called not being a manchild with ADD or letting FOMO take over. Most people are capable of such self control
Also if Starfield was a console exclusive Microsoft wouldn't have had a strong case in the FTC trial. Again, the only people who care about exclusives are actual autists, there is nothing good about restricting content to an arbitrary platform and if you think it's a valid tactic you're part of that same cancer.

That's due to hype, not FOMO. Who is going to feel that they've missed out on a game which hasn't even released? Evident by the strong sales of Spidey/GoW/Horizon on Steam, people are willing to wait if it means they don't have to buy a $500 paper weight for one or two games. Anywho, I'm on the verge of puking knowing I'm conversing with a tripgay so you can have an evening.

It's due to both, how can you not understand this? FOMO influences the hype cycle because they don't want to miss out on playing the game to talk about it with their friends. If you buy Spider-Man on PC no one but PC players are gonna care to talk to you about it because they played it like five years prior.

No, they don't. That's evidenced by people mass buying systems when a big game comes out like Spider-Man 2 or Starfield.

Minecraft Legends death brings me joy. They created a spinoff for the best selling game of all time. Only a handful of people even cared that it released and quickly dropped it after a week. Nobody remembers it at all deapite it getting ongoing updates. It's beautiful how hard it flopped.
For all the talented studios they've acquired, they really have done frick all with them. I think both big games (Psychonauts 2 / Starfield) that launched when owned by Xbox were already pretty much done before they were bought.
Their FLAGSHIP franchise was laughed at and meme'd so badly that they almost went back to square one and it still turned out luke warm. Who is running the show at Xbox really? It doesn't seem like anyone is accountable there at all.
I think the most amazing thing is how much better Halo Infinite has gotten from just firing literally everyone in a major lead position at 343i except the guys who wanted to fix MCC.
Literally every one of them did their job horribly and firing them and rolling the dice was a flat upgrade.
With XSX? Nothing. In fact it is much better than the console that killed the xbox brand.
A better dead body is still a dead body.
A corpse should be left well alone
Tell you what fellow Xbro I would upgrade when the hardware revision comes out. The one that was rumored to be 2tb faster wifi and controller updates. I'm planning on getting one of those for the living room.
Unfortunately, you missed the $350 walmart sale a couple days ago.

This. It has no worthwhile games. The leader of Xbox believes good games won't sell consoles. He forced them to focus on a subscription service that's pushes that so much instead of the actual console. He's a fricking moron and should he fired.
It's just not attractive enough to make anyone switch over
PC? There is no such thing as an xbox exclusive so why bother
Playstation? It already has exclusives over xbox and it's only a tiny bit weaker than the series X. Xbox might have SOME worthwhile games that playstation doesn't have (most recent example is hi fi rush) but that's not enough for normies to straight out drop fricking god of war and spiderman and start playing on an xbox
Gamepass is good if you're either poor or have been on a coma for the past 10 years and need to catch up but that's about it. And BC is nice too but no normie is gonna lose their minds over being able to pop an old ass split/second 360 copy or something like that; BC is only fuel for console wars
On top of all of this, phil is a dumb c**t. He's got a trillion dollar company backing every decision and basically has infinite money to fund all kinds of dream games but we end up with the most soulless and disappointing pieces of shit regardless. Sony barely shits out 1, maybe 2 AAA slop a year and even then this dude can't fund big budget DECENT games to save his life >oh there's no universe in which we win against playstation no matter how good our games are that's why we don't even bother boo hoo please let us buy all these companies we cannot compete!

Basically. After the horrible xbox one generation, Phil had literally only two options. Light a small fire and try and rekindle the xbox fanbase or go all in on gamepass and hope it's lucrative enough to entice people into the ecosystem. Because of activision's frickup, their stock price plummeted and led to Phil immediately betting it all on option 2 after buying them. Now he's stuck with shitty xbox console sales AND a hard limit on gamepass subs because nobody has a fricking xbox and PC gamepass subs aren't good enough. Now their best bet is xcloud (cloud gaming) and try and hope xbox sales somehow magically improve along with gamepass subs (not happening kek). There's just not enough good games on the thing to entice people.
Gamepass, kind of.
Stores don't make that much on consoles, they do on game tho. So they need to carry huge as boxes so they can sell those games. In europe, stores stopped selling xbox's because almost nobody buys physical games for the damn thing, so why sell consoles?
>Games, management, hardware
Everything went wrong, simple as.
They released an expensive console, with no exclusive games, almost no releases and where you can just pay 18€ and have access to the latest new game for a fraction of the price.
Plus, the recent price increase for a console with literally zero compelling arguments to buy it is a rather poor decision.

I don't know in all honesty. If you don't care about the PS exclusives like most people, it's the better console choice.

Xbox is just a game pass machine.
I didn't realize it had a disc drive. What's the point of that, when there are no games for the console, and Game Pass is pushed so hard?

It's just a software company for business man that happened to join the videogames console market. Please understand.
