This video is like a month late, which is why there may be some things in this video that may have aged a bit poorly now. Nevertheless, I felt like I still had enough good things to say in this video to make it worth uploading. So I hope you still enjoy the video regardless. As I stated at the end of the video, I'm going to step away from making these type of doomer "modern gaming bad" videos & go back to making more or less the same style of videos, but for topics about Nintendo. I personally get a lot more enjoyment & fulfillment from making those videos than I do with these types of videos. Anyways yeah, thanks for being cool, see ya in the next video! :P
There is nothing late man. What, just because 2 weeks ago Xbox did a showcase where they confirmed that a bunch of their 2020 announced games are............ still coming with no release dates, happened? State of Decay 3 got another 100% outsourced CG trailer........ FOUR YEARS LATER after its reveal. Xbox fans are simply coming off their usual Xbox showcase high right about now. They are realising about now that they are in the exact same place they were a month ago like I said above........... there are games..... from 2020..... and they are coming....... at some point.... just wait wait wait wait wait. But the ONE new detail was that lord and savior Phil himself confirmed that more games are going multiplatform........ right after the showcase where for the first time ever in a decade they didn't say "CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE" after a single game that was shown. Nah, that's just a coincidence.
@@andrewsqualdude Grand theft Auto is coming out next year of course you're not going to put any release dates at least for the 2025 games because they don't want to put it in harm's Way of the monster that is coming
It should be mentioned that the ps5, the xbox, and the nintendo are all selling their console at likely losses to the parent companies, and all get their revenue through peripherals and games, which is why launching games on gamepass is so bad for buisness
The fact that Nintendo is what people remember about this generation is crazy because the switch is already 7 years old yet its doing much better than the Xbox and Ps5
That's because the Switch appeals to a totally different kind of gamer and because it's also portable . I mean the original Game Boy sold allot more units than many consoles over the years .
@@Shadowman820 It's also the fact that many of us are aging. After growing up with stuff like Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and Assassin's Creed 2, a lot of games nowadays feel formulaic and rarely add something new to core formulas that were established during the 7th generation of consoles. In the last few years, many of us found ourselves going more and more for Nintendo stuff, who keeps putting out games that generally focus on gameplay. They tend to be family friendly, but they are fun and often act as a breath of fresh air from the open world bloat that we're getting nowadays. So I think that there's also a good chunk of people who are already invested in a specific platform, like PC, Playstation, or Xbox, but who also got into Nintendo to add variety to a relatively stagnant Triple A gaming market.
@@Shadowman820the switch is pumping out games, what a shocker right. The whole its a different type of gamer crap is nonsense, you sound like a journalist from the 90s describing something they know nothing about😂
@@yeahyeahwowman8099 Well frankly it is a different type of gamer . The ones that like huge open world AAA games are not gonna buy a switch to play those kinds of games on it , even if some do eventually get ported to the Switch with visual downgrades .
i dont think valve is a competitor.its called the console wars and its between NINTENDO, PS AND XBOX. NINTENDO is the winner in this regard. PC (NOT VALVE) is not in competition with any of these 3, because it was and always has been clearly better than all of them
The winners of this gen are as follows 1. Steam-PC gaming is killing it, no duh 2. Nintendo Switch-Slammed Sony and Microsoft combined in sales 3. PlayStation 5-Not doing as well as last gen, but still far better than Xbox 4. Xbox Series X-Completely dying at this point, they’re failing to even match the Xbox One in sales, no one wants an Xbox.
It's because the disc drives always stop reading discs, they won't read 360 backwards compatible discs, they won't read some xbox one games, it's disgusting how they are scamming
I ❤️ Halo, and I'm an online multi-player beast. Still play Halo Infinite. It's a damn crime how the coked executives at Microsoft have mismanaged it all.. flawless blueprint was laid out by Halo 2, and yet somehow the coked out executives completely fumbled
@@AnimaTriste how is it stupid if its true.... it's like apple no matter what crap they make people will buy it its just how it is.. it's the same with playstation currently
@heresay_36 unfortunately.. they have decided to give playstation games instead.. which was absolutely shocking.. to me if seemed like phil was no longer in control of xbox once the act blizzard deal was done... there is only one way forward for xbox now and that's to bring pc gaming too xbox...that would massively expand their library, make it near impossible for game devs to ever skip xbox again since there will almost always be a pc copy,.. will let them bring a bunch of their newly owned franchises like starcraft and wow over to xbox gamers without the need to pay for ports and it's a huge feature that pretty much only xbox would have cause I dont think either sony or Nintendo would ever do it with their own hardware
@@insertnamehere2022 when I first saw this silly comment I ignored it... We're gonna act like Nintendo and Sony didn't lead the charge on some of this shyt.
@@insertnamehere2022 I would literally have to pay for a subscription that I don't even care just to access the multiplayer feature from certain games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne or Resident Evil 5 and 6, it's utterly ridiculous. Right now, I'm considering buying a gaming pc so I can play games that I get to access multiplayer feature anytime I want, free of charge.
@@riegen. Yeah i dont even pay for it myself since all the multiplayer games I play are free to play (meaning they dont need plus) and single player games are single player. Also the "free" games they give are always 🗑
You said that those corporation get money from hardware sells, it's not true. Reason why those consoles are "cheap" is because they are always sold with a loss and then when you get into their closed system, they can charge you whatever they want, put behind a paywall whatever they want, that's how they get the money from games and subscriptions and why everyone gets easly fucked, cause they can't do shit, it's closed. The only one i could think is even close to selling consoles without a loss is Nintendo but maybe even Switch is with a loss... 100% not even close as much as Sony and Microsoft lose but still
Depends on the console, point in a consoles lifecycle etc. A company like Nintendo made profit day one on hardware sales, if not then within the first year. Most companies do eventually start making a profit off of hardware sales. We are probably at the point were both PS5 and Xbox Series, especially Series S are making these companies some kind of profit with each console sold.

You're talking about when the consoles first launch which was always the case. Then the costs to make it drop quickly. PS5 Digital for example was already making profit on its hardware sales by early August 2021.
@@captaindestruction9332Nintendo sells hardware that's a generation behind... They got away with it because their games don't need high end and their customers aren't there for graphics. If the Switch 2 is anything the leaks say it is, Nintendo will have razor margins like the competition.
@@andrewsqualprofit is anything... .01 is profit, XBox and PlayStation aren't making much on those consoles. Components aren't lowering in price. They might start making actual profit if they don't drop to 300.00 when components get cheaper.
You mentioned that zenimax had no relationship with Microsoft before the acquisition bruh were you alive when morrowwind and oblivion hit Xbox with Microsoft help?
He also showed Activision's logo during that same sentence, Call of Duty's close relationship with the 360 made the series go up to where it is today, he clearly didn't research!
@@thepriceisright2443 Yeah but then Activision went over to PlayStation 4 during that generation. I wouldn't say Activision had a close relationship with either Xbox or PlayStation, they were just taking COD where the most money was.
I do have a slight bit more hope for the brands future after the insane showcase they had, arguably the best of the summer, but until we get proven results, I don't trust Microsoft to do anything right in the gaming space. Both them and Sony have absolutely sucked as of late, real shame.
I think both put too much focus on big AAA titles but those take years to make and so even if you have 20 developers making games for you you're never gonna have more than a trickle at any given time .
So according to this comment section, one really good Xbox Showcase is enough to make up for over a decade of corporate incompetence, mismanagement, failed consoles, useless peripherals, unfinished games, broken promises, overspending, a lack of exclusives, anti-consumer practices, and studio layoffs. Xbox fanboys are so delusion, it's honestly just sad at this point
Let me tell you one of the reasons why XBOX is in such a difficult position: They mostly release their games on both the console and "the PC", for me not making their games exclusive to only their console unlike their competitors is a big L move...
Most PC gamers run windows which is owned by Xbox’s parent company, Microsoft. Also please don’t suggest that Xbox should make more of their games exclusive, it might be good for their revenue but it’s so bad for the industry and consumer. Less exclusives means more people can play more games.
Microsoft made PC games for almost 50 years, so of course they can't ditch PC. MS even made PC exclusives during Xbox/360/One generation. MS made PC Games over 23 years before Xbox even existed and those were never remade for Xbox besides Motocross Madness. Also. Microsoft's Age of Empires were PC exclusive for over 20 years, until last year or so. Flight Simulator were a PC exclusive for 40 years. Oldest game franchise on the planet. 42 year old.
So true. I feel like I was the only one asking in early 2020 how well the "series x" at the time was going to sell when it launches, when ALL OF ITS GAMES FROM DAY ONE ON, are available, BETTER, on PC. I thought it would no doubt hurt the console just like Xbone sales practically came to a halt around 2016 when everything went to PC compared to how it was selling the first 3 years before that.
@@andrewsqual PC are starting to hurt Sony consoles too as majority of games are ported with new PC exclusive features like 31:9, Full Ray Tracing etc. which PS5 can't handle on top of unlimited frame rate. Sony is known to be a sloppy company doing half-assed efforts, but damn they are not sloppy with most PC ports. This is why they bought Nixxes to make sure the PC ports are upgraded and please PC Gamers. As you know PC plays all Series X games and almost all PS5 exclusives, and a lot of PS4 exclusives as remasters. 100% of games on PC runs at minimum 60 FPS too, unlike on consoles. Why even bother with consoles?
@@texassherman7093 yes but how did Xbox manage to become a shell of itself? PS3 stumbled compared to the ps2 and ps1 but the ps4 was significantly better than the Xbox one.Nowadays owning an actual Xbox has no value since all of the games are on pc and some of the games are coming to PlayStation
They chose to lead the DRM and always online movement... The only reason they won the 360 gen is because Sony thought they could sell 600.00 consoles. They misinterpreted their market support.
Some quick clarification: Psychonauts 2 was in development long before Double Fine was bought out by Microsoft. It was originally a crowdfunding effort, but funds were running dry. So Microsoft bought them out and gave them the time and funding to make the game they wanted.
@@autobotstarscream765i mean they did the same with hellblade. The only really suspicious acquisition was activision. There seemed to be a bit of corporate espionage there, like think about it, microsoft is shopping around for a huge acquisition deal, while activision is doing great overall, then at the perfect time for microsoft, some people come out of the woodwork and make accusations against blizzard upper management, tanking activisions stock and making them susceptible to a buyout.
Valve is literally the clear winner of this generation of gaming with the steam store and the steam deck because most of the popular games from PlayStation and Xbox get released on pc which then get released on steam which THEN gets released on the steam deck
Every..... single..... Xbox..... game comes to PC since 2016 and to Steam day one since 2019 starting with Gears 5. Some even come to PC before Xbox consoles themselves like Flight Simulator and Age of Empires. But that is true, Valve getting that sweet 30% in sales. Its a shame PlayStation single player games don't sell 3 million in 3 days on Steam though. They would be lucky to get that in 5 years lol.
@@andrewsqual true. I get that Microsoft is foremost a pc company but putting ALL OF THEIR GAMES ON PC shoots the Xbox in its foot. The reason people buy consoles is Exclusivity Price Performance The newest Xbox series x is 600 or 700 bucks which is already more expensive then the steam deck or any mid lvl pc / laptop. High end pcs perform better than the Xbox, and we don’t even talk about exclusivity…. I think there’ll be one more generation of Xbox consoles and then Microsoft will cut production which is sad but honestly deserved since they are terrible at making compelling consoles now
@@COUNTVLAIDMIR how???? If there aren’t exclusive games on a console then what’s the point of buying that console instead of a different one, a pc, OR A STEAM DECK. Stupid take
@@1moblin2 who was talking about Japanese games???? And do u have a source for those statistics? Look,i understand the appeal of a ps5 or consoles in general. But With the new consoles in this generation it’s a lot more expensive then either buying a switch or getting a steam deck considering for the steam deck even though the upfront price is the same, all the extra stuff like the games, extra controllers, accessories, and usually having to buy an ssd card for extra storage, it’s alot better to buy a steam deck to play those same games for less. Not saying the consoles themselves are bad, but there’s no point in buying them
@@netherofficial still, this strategy is somewhat "stupid" because they are trying to build their reputation on pc that already has steam and other well-known platforms. I say they should focus on the already known platform aka Xbox and improve on it, still that's my opinion, if you have another point of view, you're free to share it😊
With all of the layoffs, zero games, and buying up studios to make up for their own lack of interesting IP, yeah Xbox definitely deserved this. Good video btw!
Big facts, the leaders at Xbox are so talentless and horrible at management that they had to BUY their gaming library since they couldn’t build it on their own.
gaming feels so fucking bleak this year, sony keeps stepping on rakes while xbox just ensured we're never gonna see anything like HFR ever again by killing off tango and then continuing milking cod/fallout for all they're worth like nothing happened
Even though PlayStation has its own problems to solve, at least the PS5 is still selling well and PlayStation as a brand is still popular. While the Xbox Series X hasn't been selling the best and and Xbox has been relying way more on Gamepass then providing great exclusives for their console. The Gamepass strategy, that they have been focusing on recently, isn't sustainable.
Microsoft has said multiple times that gamepass is profitable they profit off of it on Xbox, PC and I think on Mobile as well your so narrow minded also PS is losing money as well their strategy of paying for timed exclusives isn't working and companies like Square are dropping them
Sad thing is, little story that made its way around the block - during the 360's life japan was really begining to like the platform, alot of exclusive games were made for the system in japan and the outlook on it was "the second coming of the saturn" which was huge in japan - although you can thank don matrick for that, apparently there was a meeting at somepoint circa 2011-2013 where executives met with the japanese branch and told them to tone down the japanese trends in favor of the western trends (sports and fps etc..) and it was more of a mandate then it was a suggestion, that was kinda the final straw for japanese devs on the xbox platform. Reminder that don matrick led the charge for xbox during the reveal and development of thw xbox one - the guy was full of good decisions.
I'm not kidding. When you said, "Kid Icarus will be back for the next-" my screen glitched out, and youtube froze for a second. Like a damn Omen or something.
As an Xbox fan, I can understand where you're coming from but... perhaps this video being a month late might have impacted the viewer response in a way you weren't prepared for. It's the Playstation that isn't performing as well as Sony had hoped, and after the recent Xbox showcase a lot of these points have grown moot. Maybe do an updated video in response to how your thoughts may or may not gave changed after the recent showcase and news from Xbox?
@@NinoNakanoSupremacy No. A quick online search shows the PS2 was Sony's most profitable, and the PS5 isn't making as much a profit compared to the PS4. We even have the Sony leaks of emails from last December to add more context behind those claims. Console sales aren't producing the amount of money Sony is looking for, and they aren't selling as well either. I'm comparing the sales of the PS5 to the previous Playstations.
In all honestly, GAMERS, and i really mean GAMERS, people that play games, really REALLY need to step away from social media or at least not let it affect their hobby, PLAYING GAMES!!! Dude, at this point, theres so many games that came out and i bet a lot of gamers, myself included, that missed out on certain games and didnt play them. Instead of people worrying about what the entire company is doing, i wish people would just go back to enjoying themselves because thats what games are for! To help escape reality. Same for movies and shows, so many people just critique nonstop about E V E R Y T H I N G. And it honestly pisses ne off because the general public masses will never know the developers personally. We need to stop trying to get sooooo attached to everything. But idk im pretty sure im gonna get bashed for saying i dont care for other's wellbeing or some shit. But honestly, a lot of people today, not just me, have so much shit theyre already dealing with. Why the fuck are people stressing themselves about the decisions companies make. Just go home, play games, and relax ffs!! I got so much stress in my life that i dont need to worry about a developer that made 1 ONE O N E game that a lot of people praised. Idk sorry for the rant for whoever reads this.
Loved this rant man keep your head up! dw abt being bashed about others wellbeing it doesnt matter its the internet! I agree on the fact that we should just enjoy the games and not getting attached to this nonsense. You got sense man.
This is exactly how I've felt for a while now and am surprised so few people online feel this way (which I guess makes sense), while yes the things these companies do can be stupid and deserve to be critiqued, I feel like it gets to the point where it feels like some miserable corporate job, where the games are work and the higher ups are making things difficult, when at the end of the day for us, it's just entertainment, to enjoy gaming, all you have to do is play games, it's not some responsibility
@tremorchrist dude yes, like every single person has shit going on. If they have youtube and social media, it's just another distraction from real life, maybe not all the time but a lot more people are getting glued and attached to their phones where they have to voice their rage or disagreement over E V E R Y T H I N G * Gamers * should just be that. . . Sorry for ranting lol
So basically "shut up and eat the shitty games that come out" is what you're saying??? Well, that's exactly why Microsoft is in the crappiest state they've ever been in.
As much as I have Game Pass games on my Xbox, the ONLY reason for people to own an Xbox Series X is Sonic Unleashed with the 60FPS patch, since it’s not legally available on every other console as of making this comment.
Xbox is focusing on future proofing its brand. Mainly going for cloud gaming and subscription services for games rather than first party, full priced IP. But that’s not what we want. It’s just not. We saw how subscription services basically turned streaming into cable television again, and internet tech is just not widespread enough to provide minimal input lag and bandwidth speeds for a seamless experience across the board. Make a console, make full priced games that get people to buy the console. Sony is monopolistic and are trying their hand in controlling the gaming market after they realised recently that Xbox doesn’t give a shit about market share. That’s part of the reason why the PS5 pro is €930 all included. Fucking tragic.
As much as it pained me back in the day not being able to play any game on the console of my choice (as a PS player, I really wanted Gears of War and Forza, and God, did I want to play Mario games on my PlayStation), exclusive games were some of the best in the world because they needed to be good to draw people to their console, to sell consoles. They were front and center. Competition creates great results. When you compete with someone, you try to do your best, but if any game is going to be anywhere with billions of people available to buy the games or, well, to now get a subscription, there is no need to be the best; you just need to be good enough...
my feed lately is just: xbox sucks or Playstation took the L at the showcase. you guys are more worried about billion dollar companies than actually playing video games
This Whole video sums up why i stop listening to youtubers hate bait so much fake info its disgusting's. TH-cam gaming media is a bunch of dudes trying to pray on mob mentality i swear if yall stop watching them a play games. You would start to enjoy way more games
This comment really sums up what’s wrong with most consumers. You don’t need to plug your ears and yell “fake news” at all criticism to still enjoy games.
What they should've done was put Rare in charge of Halo when Bungie left since it was clear that Bungie was done with Halo, Rare was done with Banjo, and Rare wanted to move on to shooters such as Perfect Dark according to L.O.G.'s dialogue, instead of throwing Rare in the Kinect dungeon and running off all the original talent to the point that Rare is a shell of its former self and Microsoft had to buy Crystal Dynamics at the Squeenix munky jpeg addiction sale to make the Perfect Dark revival.
In your how do consoles make money portion, you really should have replaced hardware sales with peripheral sales. As the consoles themselves are being sold at a loss. What is profitable is all the peripherals: controllers, head phones, docking stations, etc. Other than that I completely agree, Game Pass and Microsoft's weird and inconsistent stance towards it is X-Box' biggest issue.
This whole 9th gen of consoles are a downfall. After 4 years I still don't see reason to get a PS or XBOX from this gen. Maybe next year when GTA VI releases I'll get an XBOX because of the backward compatibility but as soon as GTA releases on PC I'll sell the XBOX.
Yeah that’s what a lot of people are gonna do. I keep seeing this narrative that once GTA VI comes out that the 9th generation will truly kick off and people will buy Ps5’s and Series X. These people fail to remember that 1. GTA VI will come to PC within 2 years and a lot of people are patient and 2. Most people aren’t gonna buy a console for one game, and if they do they’d just return it after playing that 1 game
As a kid I could barely afford to get one Xbox, so when I finally did get one I was kinda upset to hear that a new one was released and no new games would be released for the Classic Box, I kinda felt robbed. I eventually did get the 360 but I only got to enjoy for roughly two years before the One came out and once again made my current system obsolete. Eventually got the One and now history repeats itself with the Tower Box and now I've decided, enough. I've migrated to PC where I look forward to playing all my games and future games without worrying about getting a new system every few years or paying a subscription to play with other people.
People say AAA gaming is 💀 need to understand it doesn't apply to everyone. If we stopped focusing on the games that do deserve it, it'll be for the best.
Gamers are probably one of the most stubborn group of people I have ever seen. It’s simple, if Xbox is going to succeed again, they need good, EXCLUSIVE, games, which mean not available on pc. It’s that simple, yet I see people complaining saying it better that’s it’s on pc and not an exclusive. If your one of those people all I have to ask is if that’s the case, then why was the xbox 360 one of the greatest console of all time. During the 360 era, they had their biggest games be exclusive to the Xbox 360, like halo, gears of war, etc.
The thing is - there are only +-20 millions of XboxSeries consoles. It is not enough to make expensive (very expensive these days) games and then sell it to basically nobody, and somehow making profit. Just impossible.
@@dmytrosoboliev935bro your science is brain dead, why do you think Xbox has low sells... because people are buying ps5s...why are they doing that? THEY MAKE EXCLUSIVES THAT MAKE YOU WANNA ACTUALLY GET A PS5 it's all about games these days nobody cares about the system frfr just playing there favorite games like spiderman and god of war
The fact Xbox has no games is just baffling. Imagine spending that much money on studios and having no quality titles coming out. Like what exactly have they been doing with their time?
A PC can't be hooked to a TV. It just can't. You could go through the hassle of it but why would you? Buy wireless accessories, turn on TV, turn on PC, make sure to update Steam/EA/Battlenet/Epic/Uplay, update your drivers, then play game. All of this vs turn PS5, play game right where you left it. PC is like an F1 car. Of course it goes faster than your toyota but which one would you choose for commuting? Both ecosystems have their place.
What type of games Xbox hates: GOTY worthy, popular, innovative, revolutionary, ground breaking games The games that Xbox loves 😍: Burning money simulator, dung eater sinulator, men kisser simulator, 🐔 sucker simulator, closing all the worthy studios, 343i halo (literal diarrhea)
also, bethesda has a long history with xbox, morrowind was released on the original xbox as a flagship title, and oblivion was a launch game for the 360. Fallout 3 was released first on xbox and same with skyrim.
Screw game pass.. I got the Series X and I play Halo multi-player ONLY - used to play Fallout, Skyrim/Ovlivion, GTA, Saints Row, Borderlands.. BUT those franchises all are stagnant. Halo only game worth playing
I think online gaming ruined video game production. It seems like no one I know seems to care about story mode anymore. Pay to win also caused things to go downhill. I’m old school. I like a good story in a video game. COD used to be cool to me until they started getting futuristic. I don’t like that.
So I’m holding my newborn watching Destin. The video ends I drop my phone then this little weasel guy plays next. I couldn’t reach my phone so I had to endure 6 minutes of this guys misery. Finally my wife walked in and took the baby. Where’s the do not recommend button? Gaming TH-camrs are almost as bad as the rap guys
Couldn't even endure 34 seconds of the video cause he baught up HI FI rush even though the DEVS confirmed that they weren't a profitable studio hence why Microsoft pulled the plug on them
I bought a Series S in 2022, mostly to play Fortnite while at university. I enjoyed Halo Infinite for a couple months then checked out and never got much interest in any other Xbox IPs, I tried titles on game pass like Grounded, Flight Simulator but nothing really interested me. High Fi Rush was the biggest highlight but ultimately I just used the Xbox to play Fortnite and Modern Warfare. I recently bought a PS5 and sold the Series S on eBay. I saw zero reason to keep it going forwards even with setting up dev mode emulation.
Apparently it might be that Shinji mikami director of a Resident Evil left the studio and he was the director of The Evil Within one which sold well but not two which sold bad and HiFi Rush which did well but I guess they figure since he's gone the studio doesn't have any star power or creative jeans so they shut everybody down.
Halo is my favorite gaming franchise of all time, and I've spent an embarrassing amount on Halo Infinite, but even I don't own a series console. Nearly all the time and money I've spent on one of Xbox's first party IPs' within the last ~5 years has been on Steam. I really don't see a point in having an xbox if you aren't allergic to gaming on a decent pc. You can fork over the price of a modern fast food meal a month, and get xbox games without buying into the little fridge for hundreds of dollars.
This ain't it chief. I get it, there's a lot that's wrong with the gaming industry at large right now but Xbox is like lesser of all evils currently available to us.
@@mineralwater6736 Every youtuber worth their salt is criticizing this entire generation instead of singling out an obvious underdog and beating the dead horse while putting a blind eye on the competitors pulling way more egregious shit. If he did a video like this for all three it would be fine, but he's apparently stopping at xbox which is not only a low hanging fruit but comes across as an implication that what the others are doing is completely fine when it's far and away worse.
@@Diwasho Microsoft literally buys up studios to shut them down years later because they’re pissed the studio isn’t making games, when they never cracked the whip and told them to get to work in the first place. Now with fucking Activision and Bethesda in their pockets, they have the formula to success, if they still lose, it’s all their fault and no one else’s.
@@mr.cheese9571 No, I just wanted to mention it when the video came out before Xeno mentions the xbox showcase. It did not wash away the bad stuff but it shows that xbox is going in the right direction or at least knowing how to hype people up.
With the whole game pass argument it is correct for me, I’ve cancelled it a few times already just because I often leave my series s collecting dust. I’d rather use my switch or heck older gen consoles like my 3ds or ps4. I have considered selling my Xbox many times.
Sony is doing way worst, those final thoughts are backwards. That showcase showed me they put time into more games. Alot of the games shown were from the purchased IPs.
True but games like Doom will be released on other platforms. They're betting on Game Pass to make people want to play on Xbox, but the sustainability financially has not been proven yet. PlayStation is ass though.
How is Sony doing way worse when they had the entire first year of exclusivity on their hands while Xbox was suffering studio shutdowns? And how is Xbox putting time into CGI trailers with no release dates?
@@Thespywhoteabaggedme It's called business. Covid hurt a lot of companies. I'm not saying this is the only reason, but we did see gaming numbers inflate dramatically with people stuck at home. Now the reality is everyone has sealed their wallets due to rising costs, and a return to more responsibilities. Gaming isn't as much of a focus as it was during the pandemic. This means sales of games are in decline. And everyone needs to stop holding Microsoft to a higher standard than Sony. It's ridiculous. Both Sony and Microsoft had studio closures and layoffs due to poor sales and performances. The loss of Tango is unfortunate (stories are surfacing that there were problems before Microsoft purchased them). Sony has in fact, cancelled more projects and laid off the same percentage of workforce as Microsoft.
There is one Xbox exclusive worth buying this gen that you cannot get anywhere else. Sonic Unleashed at a smooth 60 fps. Sonic Unleashed was released on the PS3 and 360 but terribly optimised and very taxing on the systems so the framerate (capped at 30 fps on 360 and 60 fps on PS3) is pretty poor and inconsistent. Playing it on Xbox One through backwards compatibility doesn't fully fix the framerate, and the game never got a PC port. But the Xbox Series S and X finally have the power to play it properly, and thanks to the Boost option they added you can FINALLY play Sonic Unleashed at a silky smooth 60 fps.
I have never purchased an Xbox system. Even during the brand's supposed high point of consistently failing 360 units, their exclusive line up still sucked. I never saw what anyone saw in the Xbox brand other than they had one, and had to convince themselves it was good. The 360 still lost to the PS3 and Wii, so Xbox's supposed high point was enjoying its least embarrassing last place.
I had the feeling that Xbox had no identity. I used to own the Xbox One S back in 2019 and while I had some good time with it, seeing their Game Pass giving access to play on PC made something click in my mind. While I only owned potato PCs at the time, I knew that things will spiral down (and that was back in 2021 when I figured it out), now it's even more disturbing to find out I was actually correct 3 years ago. Since that "clicking" moment, I jumped from Microsoft (I also had a Nintendo Switch, still have it) to Sony since I didn't wanna bother with 3000+$ gaming PCs. While I don't have that many games on my now PS5 and VR 2, they're still far better experiences on them (heck, I bought Diablo 2 Rez on it so I could resume my online characters)
Hi Fi rush wasn't a profitable game the studio behind it didn't make enough money so they simply closed it down like any other business would do I swear you guys have never worked a day in your life
Microsoft never really cared about hardware. They care about software. I think the XBox was a power play from the start. The company that makes the best console doesn't win. The company that makes the best games does. Now that they took out the software competition and showed they could be hardware competitors, they are ready to make the gaming version of Microsoft Office.
I remember in 2021 or 2022,Phil Spencer said that Sony and Nintendo are not their Opponents in this business.They're more focused on Google(Stadia)and Amazon(Luna)who has released their Cloud Gaming System.Maybe it's also bc the 3 of them are trillion dollar companies Well,looks like their Ego is killing themselves 😂
Wonder how this video sounds if it waited til after the xbox showcase. Seems every youtuber had amnesia and started praising xbox after they dropped serve after serve
So many common issues between both consoles which shows the dire straits that gaming in general has. But at this point what even is the point of Xbox? At least PlayStation has something unique not offered elsewhere
The console wars are long over… Xbox doesn’t care about console sales or game exclusivity. It’s very obvious too see that they don’t want to be a console or video game game… they just want to be the Spotify of video games which is why the have games on all platforms now and not just Xbox.
I'd say its still more embarassing for sony, they were massively ahead going into this generation and they have done nothing with it while microsoft have made small steps forward
The series x has been my favorite console. I don’t think it was made for you. Stick to playing switch. I mean if forza is just a car game to you well then Xbox isn’t for you
Xbox isn't a racing system, forzas mid nobody wants to rep races 24-7 Xbox is originally a nitty gritty game made for men, gears of War and halo type shi obv u don't know what console your playing ya nancy
Let’s not glaze over the fact that call of duty. One of the biggest franchises will be an Xbox exclusive eventually and also first party exclusives don’t sell nearly as much as third-party exclusives like men call of duty in NBA 2K exclusive would be lucky to sell a 10th of the amount that something like NBA 2K would sell people do not usually buy consoles for their exclusives.
I swear if Xbox had a cooler looking controller I’d be all in. It’s stupid but idc. You seem to get the best bang for your buck with Xbox. Sony is the iPhone of gaming. 👎
I jumped to pc this year but I still hope microsoft learns from its mistakes & listens to constructive criticism, if they don't make good games across the board by the next xbox generation I'll just stay on my pc and vote with my wallet
You know maybe you should have kept the Game Pass subscription because you had access to 500 free games in the fact that you unsubscribe because Microsoft shut down one IP is not Microsoft problem that’s your pro and that’s a terrible financial decision. That’s your problem. You canceled a great deal of a subscription because they shut down one when you could play all these games, I just feel like you like
Okay, I have to stop watching this video after 4 minutes because you straight up ignores many IPs for some reason, which makes me feel like this is going to be a biased video. I don't know you. I don't care about consoles, but make a fair comparison next time.
The Xbox community is happy as fuck wdym 😂 if you truthfully believe the ps5 is the better gaming experience you gotta stop smoking fr. I own both ps5 and Xbox series x and the only benefit to the ps5 is the exclusives they have, however almost every single game has zero replay value, worse online servers, a drastically worse game pass, less games overall
Also saying Xbox only has 4 or 5 exclusive Ip's is actually wild. All the backwards compatible games down to the original Xbox, 3rd party games, indi games, your fliboying like a mf, "I'm JuSt StAtInG fAcTs" most of what you said is bs 😂 cope
The series x would be great if it wasn't a massive scam designed to make you re buy every backwards compatible disc you already own on the digital store, as the discs will stop reading, even some xbox one games don't read

This video is like a month late, which is why there may be some things in this video that may have aged a bit poorly now. Nevertheless, I felt like I still had enough good things to say in this video to make it worth uploading. So I hope you still enjoy the video regardless.
As I stated at the end of the video, I'm going to step away from making these type of doomer "modern gaming bad" videos & go back to making more or less the same style of videos, but for topics about Nintendo. I personally get a lot more enjoyment & fulfillment from making those videos than I do with these types of videos.
Anyways yeah, thanks for being cool, see ya in the next video! :P
Yet you still put it out, making you stupid.
There is nothing late man. What, just because 2 weeks ago Xbox did a showcase where they confirmed that a bunch of their 2020 announced games are............ still coming with no release dates, happened? State of Decay 3 got another 100% outsourced CG trailer........ FOUR YEARS LATER after its reveal.
Xbox fans are simply coming off their usual Xbox showcase high right about now. They are realising about now that they are in the exact same place they were a month ago like I said above........... there are games..... from 2020..... and they are coming....... at some point.... just wait wait wait wait wait. But the ONE new detail was that lord and savior Phil himself confirmed that more games are going multiplatform........ right after the showcase where for the first time ever in a decade they didn't say "CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE" after a single game that was shown. Nah, that's just a coincidence.
@@andrewsqualdude Grand theft Auto is coming out next year of course you're not going to put any release dates at least for the 2025 games because they don't want to put it in harm's Way of the monster that is coming
It should be mentioned that the ps5, the xbox, and the nintendo are all selling their console at likely losses to the parent companies, and all get their revenue through peripherals and games, which is why launching games on gamepass is so bad for buisness
Switch is part of the same generation as PS5 and Series X. Get your facts straight!
The fact that Nintendo is what people remember about this generation is crazy because the switch is already 7 years old yet its doing much better than the Xbox and Ps5
That's because the Switch appeals to a totally different kind of gamer and because it's also portable . I mean the original Game Boy sold allot more units than many consoles over the years .
@@Shadowman820 Exactly, it's why it is selling so well until now...
@@Shadowman820 It's also the fact that many of us are aging. After growing up with stuff like Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and Assassin's Creed 2, a lot of games nowadays feel formulaic and rarely add something new to core formulas that were established during the 7th generation of consoles. In the last few years, many of us found ourselves going more and more for Nintendo stuff, who keeps putting out games that generally focus on gameplay. They tend to be family friendly, but they are fun and often act as a breath of fresh air from the open world bloat that we're getting nowadays. So I think that there's also a good chunk of people who are already invested in a specific platform, like PC, Playstation, or Xbox, but who also got into Nintendo to add variety to a relatively stagnant Triple A gaming market.
@@Shadowman820the switch is pumping out games, what a shocker right. The whole its a different type of gamer crap is nonsense, you sound like a journalist from the 90s describing something they know nothing about😂
@@yeahyeahwowman8099 Well frankly it is a different type of gamer . The ones that like huge open world AAA games are not gonna buy a switch to play those kinds of games on it , even if some do eventually get ported to the Switch with visual downgrades .
Valve is the clear winner of this generation of games. Sony and Microsoft are literally giving their games to PC on a golden platter

Psvr2 removed features and no day and date single player games for pc from ps.
2 years later at twice the entry price. Such deal, much wow. Moron
Hopefully Sony realizes their mistake.
i dont think valve is a competitor.its called the console wars and its between NINTENDO, PS AND XBOX. NINTENDO is the winner in this regard. PC (NOT VALVE) is not in competition with any of these 3, because it was and always has been clearly better than all of them
The winners of this gen are as follows
1. Steam-PC gaming is killing it, no duh
2. Nintendo Switch-Slammed Sony and Microsoft combined in sales
3. PlayStation 5-Not doing as well as last gen, but still far better than Xbox
4. Xbox Series X-Completely dying at this point, they’re failing to even match the Xbox One in sales, no one wants an Xbox.
W list
It's because the disc drives always stop reading discs, they won't read 360 backwards compatible discs, they won't read some xbox one games, it's disgusting how they are scamming
I ❤️ Halo, and I'm an online multi-player beast. Still play Halo Infinite.
It's a damn crime how the coked executives at Microsoft have mismanaged it all.. flawless blueprint was laid out by Halo 2, and yet somehow the coked out executives completely fumbled

What do you mean "you feel?" IT WAS THE DOWNFALL!!!
It started with the announcement
You said that those corporation get money from hardware sells, it's not true.
Reason why those consoles are "cheap" is because they are always sold with a loss and then when you get into their closed system, they can charge you whatever they want, put behind a paywall whatever they want, that's how they get the money from games and subscriptions and why everyone gets easly fucked, cause they can't do shit, it's closed. The only one i could think is even close to selling consoles without a loss is Nintendo but maybe even Switch is with a loss... 100% not even close as much as Sony and Microsoft lose but still
Depends on the console, point in a consoles lifecycle etc. A company like Nintendo made profit day one on hardware sales, if not then within the first year. Most companies do eventually start making a profit off of hardware sales. We are probably at the point were both PS5 and Xbox Series, especially Series S are making these companies some kind of profit with each console sold.

He just can't make his own research
He also showed Activision's logo during that same sentence, Call of Duty's close relationship with the 360 made the series go up to where it is today, he clearly didn't research!
I don't even keep up with Xbox/Microsoft and even I knew this
Bethesda and Microsoft definitely had a relationship.
@@thepriceisright2443 Yeah but then Activision went over to PlayStation 4 during that generation. I wouldn't say Activision had a close relationship with either Xbox or PlayStation, they were just taking COD where the most money was.
I do have a slight bit more hope for the brands future after the insane showcase they had, arguably the best of the summer, but until we get proven results, I don't trust Microsoft to do anything right in the gaming space. Both them and Sony have absolutely sucked as of late, real shame.
I think both put too much focus on big AAA titles but those take years to make and so even if you have 20 developers making games for you you're never gonna have more than a trickle at any given time .
guy's voice reminds me of Mr. Slave from South Park.
I stopped taking this video seriously after he said that MS and Zenimax didn't have anything to do with each other before the acquisition.
Yeah what is dude on about. Also Microsoft having no relationship history with activision are we forgetting the 360 era with cod.
He's just riding the wave and parroting... Still not as bad as a lot of these "creators."
this is what happens when you try to pull a needle from a haystack while blind folded.
So according to this comment section, one really good Xbox Showcase is enough to make up for over a decade of corporate incompetence, mismanagement, failed consoles, useless peripherals, unfinished games, broken promises, overspending, a lack of exclusives, anti-consumer practices, and studio layoffs.
Xbox fanboys are so delusion, it's honestly just sad at this point
Let me tell you one of the reasons why XBOX is in such a difficult position: They mostly release their games on both the console and "the PC", for me not making their games exclusive to only their console unlike their competitors is a big L move...
Most PC gamers run windows which is owned by Xbox’s parent company, Microsoft. Also please don’t suggest that Xbox should make more of their games exclusive, it might be good for their revenue but it’s so bad for the industry and consumer. Less exclusives means more people can play more games.
Microsoft made PC games for almost 50 years, so of course they can't ditch PC. MS even made PC exclusives during Xbox/360/One generation. MS made PC Games over 23 years before Xbox even existed and those were never remade for Xbox besides Motocross Madness.
Also. Microsoft's Age of Empires were PC exclusive for over 20 years, until last year or so. Flight Simulator were a PC exclusive for 40 years. Oldest game franchise on the planet. 42 year old.
So true. I feel like I was the only one asking in early 2020 how well the "series x" at the time was going to sell when it launches, when ALL OF ITS GAMES FROM DAY ONE ON, are available, BETTER, on PC.
I thought it would no doubt hurt the console just like Xbone sales practically came to a halt around 2016 when everything went to PC compared to how it was selling the first 3 years before that.
@@andrewsqual PC are starting to hurt Sony consoles too as majority of games are ported with new PC exclusive features like 31:9, Full Ray Tracing etc. which PS5 can't handle on top of unlimited frame rate.
Sony is known to be a sloppy company doing half-assed efforts, but damn they are not sloppy with most PC ports.
This is why they bought Nixxes to make sure the PC ports are upgraded and please PC Gamers.
As you know PC plays all Series X games and almost all PS5 exclusives, and a lot of PS4 exclusives as remasters. 100% of games on PC runs at minimum 60 FPS too, unlike on consoles.
Why even bother with consoles?
No reason to own any console other than you can only afford a console. Pc is the way.
I question how Xbox managed to fumble the bag so hard when Xbox 360 was regarded as the best console during its era
That was almost two decades ago 😂
@@texassherman7093 yes but how did Xbox manage to become a shell of itself? PS3 stumbled compared to the ps2 and ps1 but the ps4 was significantly better than the Xbox one.Nowadays owning an actual Xbox has no value since all of the games are on pc and some of the games are coming to PlayStation
They chose to lead the DRM and always online movement... The only reason they won the 360 gen is because Sony thought they could sell 600.00 consoles. They misinterpreted their market support.
@@shakeeluddin23wii was much better
The difference between Peter Moore and Phil Spender is night and day.
Yeah, Phil makes more money for the company.
Some quick clarification: Psychonauts 2 was in development long before Double Fine was bought out by Microsoft. It was originally a crowdfunding effort, but funds were running dry. So Microsoft bought them out and gave them the time and funding to make the game they wanted.
I miss that Microsoft, don't buy successful stuff and kill it, buy struggling stuff and give it new life for some hype exclusives.
@@autobotstarscream765i mean they did the same with hellblade. The only really suspicious acquisition was activision. There seemed to be a bit of corporate espionage there, like think about it, microsoft is shopping around for a huge acquisition deal, while activision is doing great overall, then at the perfect time for microsoft, some people come out of the woodwork and make accusations against blizzard upper management, tanking activisions stock and making them susceptible to a buyout.
I'm still waiting for the physical copy of Hi Fi Rush to come out 😒
Valve is literally the clear winner of this generation of gaming with the steam store and the steam deck because most of the popular games from PlayStation and Xbox get released on pc which then get released on steam which THEN gets released on the steam deck
Every..... single..... Xbox..... game comes to PC since 2016 and to Steam day one since 2019 starting with Gears 5. Some even come to PC before Xbox consoles themselves like Flight Simulator and Age of Empires.
But that is true, Valve getting that sweet 30% in sales. Its a shame PlayStation single player games don't sell 3 million in 3 days on Steam though. They would be lucky to get that in 5 years lol.
@@andrewsqual true. I get that Microsoft is foremost a pc company but putting ALL OF THEIR GAMES ON PC shoots the Xbox in its foot. The reason people buy consoles is
Exclusivity
Price
Performance
The newest Xbox series x is 600 or 700 bucks which is already more expensive then the steam deck or any mid lvl pc / laptop. High end pcs perform better than the Xbox, and we don’t even talk about exclusivity….

Not saying the consoles themselves are bad, but there’s no point in buying them
the big problem is that xbox EXCLUSIVES are for pc too on DAY ONE. i mean look at sony they publish an exclusive game on pc after two freaking YEARS?!

Even though PlayStation has its own problems to solve, at least the PS5 is still selling well and PlayStation as a brand is still popular. While the Xbox Series X hasn't been selling the best and and Xbox has been relying way more on Gamepass then providing great exclusives for their console. The Gamepass strategy, that they have been focusing on recently, isn't sustainable.
Microsoft has said multiple times that gamepass is profitable they profit off of it on Xbox, PC and I think on Mobile as well your so narrow minded also PS is losing money as well their strategy of paying for timed exclusives isn't working and companies like Square are dropping them

Sad thing is, little story that made its way around the block - during the 360's life japan was really begining to like the platform, alot of exclusive games were made for the system in japan and the outlook on it was "the second coming of the saturn" which was huge in japan - although you can thank don matrick for that, apparently there was a meeting at somepoint circa 2011-2013 where executives met with the japanese branch and told them to tone down the japanese trends in favor of the western trends (sports and fps etc..) and it was more of a mandate then it was a suggestion, that was kinda the final straw for japanese devs on the xbox platform.
Reminder that don matrick led the charge for xbox during the reveal and development of thw xbox one - the guy was full of good decisions.

In all honestly, GAMERS, and i really mean GAMERS, people that play games, really REALLY need to step away from social media or at least not let it affect their hobby, PLAYING GAMES!!!
Dude, at this point, theres so many games that came out and i bet a lot of gamers, myself included, that missed out on certain games and didnt play them. Instead of people worrying about what the entire company is doing, i wish people would just go back to enjoying themselves because thats what games are for! To help escape reality. Same for movies and shows, so many people just critique nonstop about E V E R Y T H I N G. And it honestly pisses ne off because the general public masses will never know the developers personally. We need to stop trying to get sooooo attached to everything. But idk im pretty sure im gonna get bashed for saying i dont care for other's wellbeing or some shit.
But honestly, a lot of people today, not just me, have so much shit theyre already dealing with. Why the fuck are people stressing themselves about the decisions companies make.

This is exactly how I've felt for a while now and am surprised so few people online feel this way (which I guess makes sense), while yes the things these companies do can be stupid and deserve to be critiqued, I feel like it gets to the point where it feels like some miserable corporate job, where the games are work and the higher ups are making things difficult, when at the end of the day for us, it's just entertainment, to enjoy gaming, all you have to do is play games, it's not some responsibility
@tremorchrist dude yes, like every single person has shit going on. If they have youtube and social media, it's just another distraction from real life, maybe not all the time but a lot more people are getting glued and attached to their phones where they have to voice their rage or disagreement over E V E R Y T H I N G

I just like playing games man I don’t care about which metal box I play them on
Xbox is focusing on future proofing its brand. Mainly going for cloud gaming and subscription services for games rather than first party, full priced IP. But that’s not what we want. It’s just not. We saw how subscription services basically turned streaming into cable television again, and internet tech is just not widespread enough to provide minimal input lag and bandwidth speeds for a seamless experience across the board. Make a console, make full priced games that get people to buy the console. Sony is monopolistic and are trying their hand in controlling the gaming market after they realised recently that Xbox doesn’t give a shit about market share. That’s part of the reason why the PS5 pro is €930 all included. Fucking tragic.
As much as it pained me back in the day not being able to play any game on the console of my choice (as a PS player, I really wanted Gears of War and Forza, and God, did I want to play Mario games on my PlayStation), exclusive games were some of the best in the world because they needed to be good to draw people to their console, to sell consoles. They were front and center. Competition creates great results. When you compete with someone, you try to do your best, but if any game is going to be anywhere with billions of people available to buy the games or, well, to now get a subscription, there is no need to be the best; you just need to be good enough...
When you say deserves it just means you don’t like Xbox but your opinion is still valid

Rare doesn’t want to make a banjo game that’s why he will never come back, when will ppl get that in their heads
What they should've done was put Rare in charge of Halo when Bungie left since it was clear that Bungie was done with Halo, Rare was done with Banjo, and Rare wanted to move on to shooters such as Perfect Dark according to L.O.G.'s dialogue, instead of throwing Rare in the Kinect dungeon and running off all the original talent to the point that Rare is a shell of its former self and Microsoft had to buy Crystal Dynamics at the Squeenix munky jpeg addiction sale to make the Perfect Dark revival.
In your how do consoles make money portion, you really should have replaced hardware sales with peripheral sales. As the consoles themselves are being sold at a loss. What is profitable is all the peripherals: controllers, head phones, docking stations, etc. Other than that I completely agree, Game Pass and Microsoft's weird and inconsistent stance towards it is X-Box' biggest issue.
I agree with you but I won’t accept Forza slander
You can already tell the like to dislike ratio ain’t favouring this guy.

This whole 9th gen of consoles are a downfall. After 4 years I still don't see reason to get a PS or XBOX from this gen. Maybe next year when GTA VI releases I'll get an XBOX because of the backward compatibility but as soon as GTA releases on PC I'll sell the XBOX.
Yeah that’s what a lot of people are gonna do. I keep seeing this narrative that once GTA VI comes out that the 9th generation will truly kick off and people will buy Ps5’s and Series X. These people fail to remember that 1. GTA VI will come to PC within 2 years and a lot of people are patient and 2. Most people aren’t gonna buy a console for one game, and if they do they’d just return it after playing that 1 game
I get the feeling their trying to pull a sega and back out of the console market.
they're*
As a kid I could barely afford to get one Xbox, so when I finally did get one I was kinda upset to hear that a new one was released and no new games would be released for the Classic Box, I kinda felt robbed. I eventually did get the 360 but I only got to enjoy for roughly two years before the One came out and once again made my current system obsolete. Eventually got the One and now history repeats itself with the Tower Box and now I've decided, enough. I've migrated to PC where I look forward to playing all my games and future games without worrying about getting a new system every few years or paying a subscription to play with other people.
Each gen has been like 6-8 years long bro

People say AAA gaming is 💀 need to understand it doesn't apply to everyone. If we stopped focusing on the games that do deserve it, it'll be for the best.
Gamers are probably one of the most stubborn group of people I have ever seen. It’s simple, if Xbox is going to succeed again, they need good, EXCLUSIVE, games, which mean not available on pc. It’s that simple, yet I see people complaining saying it better that’s it’s on pc and not an exclusive. If your one of those people all I have to ask is if that’s the case, then why was the xbox 360 one of the greatest console of all time. During the 360 era, they had their biggest games be exclusive to the Xbox 360, like halo, gears of war, etc.
The thing is - there are only +-20 millions of XboxSeries consoles. It is not enough to make expensive (very expensive these days) games and then sell it to basically nobody, and somehow making profit. Just impossible.
Make good games = More sells = More Money
Also this is Microsoft we’re talking about, the same people that own a bunch of gaming companies
@@dmytrosoboliev935bro your science is brain dead, why do you think Xbox has low sells... because people are buying ps5s...why are they doing that? THEY MAKE EXCLUSIVES THAT MAKE YOU WANNA ACTUALLY GET A PS5 it's all about games these days nobody cares about the system frfr just playing there favorite games like spiderman and god of war
The fact Xbox has no games is just baffling. Imagine spending that much money on studios and having no quality titles coming out. Like what exactly have they been doing with their time?
You should now make a video on Nintendo, but instead of it being a "downfall" of sorts it should be a "rise" instead lol
A PC can't be hooked to a TV. It just can't. You could go through the hassle of it but why would you? Buy wireless accessories, turn on TV, turn on PC, make sure to update Steam/EA/Battlenet/Epic/Uplay, update your drivers, then play game. All of this vs turn PS5, play game right where you left it. PC is like an F1 car. Of course it goes faster than your toyota but which one would you choose for commuting? Both ecosystems have their place.
What type of games Xbox hates: GOTY worthy, popular, innovative, revolutionary, ground breaking games
The games that Xbox loves 😍: Burning money simulator, dung eater sinulator, men kisser simulator, 🐔 sucker simulator, closing all the worthy studios, 343i halo (literal diarrhea)
You have amazing taste in video music bro! ❤️
also, bethesda has a long history with xbox, morrowind was released on the original xbox as a flagship title, and oblivion was a launch game for the 360. Fallout 3 was released first on xbox and same with skyrim.
Screw game pass.. I got the Series X and I play Halo multi-player ONLY
- used to play Fallout, Skyrim/Ovlivion, GTA, Saints Row, Borderlands.. BUT those franchises all are stagnant.
Halo only game worth playing
I think online gaming ruined video game production. It seems like no one I know seems to care about story mode anymore.
Pay to win also caused things to go downhill.
I’m old school. I like a good story in a video game. COD used to be cool to me until they started getting futuristic. I don’t like that.
So I’m holding my newborn watching Destin. The video ends I drop my phone then this little weasel guy plays next. I couldn’t reach my phone so I had to endure 6 minutes of this guys misery. Finally my wife walked in and took the baby. Where’s the do not recommend button? Gaming TH-camrs are almost as bad as the rap guys
Couldn't even endure 34 seconds of the video cause he baught up HI FI rush even though the DEVS confirmed that they weren't a profitable studio hence why Microsoft pulled the plug on them
I bought a Series S in 2022, mostly to play Fortnite while at university. I enjoyed Halo Infinite for a couple months then checked out and never got much interest in any other Xbox IPs, I tried titles on game pass like Grounded, Flight Simulator but nothing really interested me. High Fi Rush was the biggest highlight but ultimately I just used the Xbox to play Fortnite and Modern Warfare. I recently bought a PS5 and sold the Series S on eBay. I saw zero reason to keep it going forwards even with setting up dev mode emulation.
Apparently it might be that Shinji mikami director of a Resident Evil left the studio and he was the director of The Evil Within one which sold well but not two which sold bad and HiFi Rush which did well but I guess they figure since he's gone the studio doesn't have any star power or creative jeans so they shut everybody down.
This made me think, who actually earns more overall software and hardware combined? is it Xbox vs PS?
Nintendo
Such a shame that they f*cked it. I enjoy using the Xbox more than other devices.
Halo is my favorite gaming franchise of all time, and I've spent an embarrassing amount on Halo Infinite, but even I don't own a series console. Nearly all the time and money I've spent on one of Xbox's first party IPs' within the last ~5 years has been on Steam. I really don't see a point in having an xbox if you aren't allergic to gaming on a decent pc. You can fork over the price of a modern fast food meal a month, and get xbox games without buying into the little fridge for hundreds of dollars.
This ain't it chief. I get it, there's a lot that's wrong with the gaming industry at large right now but Xbox is like lesser of all evils currently available to us.

@@mineralwater6736 Every youtuber worth their salt is criticizing this entire generation instead of singling out an obvious underdog and beating the dead horse while putting a blind eye on the competitors pulling way more egregious shit. If he did a video like this for all three it would be fine, but he's apparently stopping at xbox which is not only a low hanging fruit but comes across as an implication that what the others are doing is completely fine when it's far and away worse.
@@Diwasho he has a video about Sony as well.
@@Diwasho Microsoft literally buys up studios to shut them down years later because they’re pissed the studio isn’t making games, when they never cracked the whip and told them to get to work in the first place. Now with fucking Activision and Bethesda in their pockets, they have the formula to success, if they still lose, it’s all their fault and no one else’s.
Ummm Xbox Showcase?

It was quite amazing but I still don't know if I can trust them
So one good showcase washes away the 10 years worth of L taken and bad PR decisions like the Xbox one reveal and shutting down tango Gameworks
@@mr.cheese9571 No, I just wanted to mention it when the video came out before Xeno mentions the xbox showcase. It did not wash away the bad stuff but it shows that xbox is going in the right direction or at least knowing how to hype people up.

Xbox should stop making consoles
Do people just get paid to hate on Xbox? It's getting boring now. What a pathetic time to upload a video like this as well.
With the whole game pass argument it is correct for me, I’ve cancelled it a few times already just because I often leave my series s collecting dust.
I’d rather use my switch or heck older gen consoles like my 3ds or ps4. I have considered selling my Xbox many times.
Sony is doing way worst, those final thoughts are backwards.
That showcase showed me they put time into more games.
Alot of the games shown were from the purchased IPs.
True but games like Doom will be released on other platforms. They're betting on Game Pass to make people want to play on Xbox, but the sustainability financially has not been proven yet. PlayStation is ass though.
How is Sony doing way worse when they had the entire first year of exclusivity on their hands while Xbox was suffering studio shutdowns? And how is Xbox putting time into CGI trailers with no release dates?
@@Thespywhoteabaggedme It's called business. Covid hurt a lot of companies. I'm not saying this is the only reason, but we did see gaming numbers inflate dramatically with people stuck at home. Now the reality is everyone has sealed their wallets due to rising costs, and a return to more responsibilities. Gaming isn't as much of a focus as it was during the pandemic. This means sales of games are in decline. And everyone needs to stop holding Microsoft to a higher standard than Sony. It's ridiculous. Both Sony and Microsoft had studio closures and layoffs due to poor sales and performances. The loss of Tango is unfortunate (stories are surfacing that there were problems before Microsoft purchased them). Sony has in fact, cancelled more projects and laid off the same percentage of workforce as Microsoft.
The difference is once the games come out PlayStation’s lineup is actually good.

There is one Xbox exclusive worth buying this gen that you cannot get anywhere else.
Sonic Unleashed at a smooth 60 fps.
Sonic Unleashed was released on the PS3 and 360 but terribly optimised and very taxing on the systems so the framerate (capped at 30 fps on 360 and 60 fps on PS3) is pretty poor and inconsistent. Playing it on Xbox One through backwards compatibility doesn't fully fix the framerate, and the game never got a PC port. But the Xbox Series S and X finally have the power to play it properly, and thanks to the Boost option they added you can FINALLY play Sonic Unleashed at a silky smooth 60 fps.
It's going to take more than that to catch PS5 (Switch has this gen won).
I have never purchased an Xbox system. Even during the brand's supposed high point of consistently failing 360 units, their exclusive line up still sucked. I never saw what anyone saw in the Xbox brand other than they had one, and had to convince themselves it was good. The 360 still lost to the PS3 and Wii, so Xbox's supposed high point was enjoying its least embarrassing last place.
The Wii kicked the 360 in the nuts on its way in and the PS3 overtook it on the way out, so there were always options.
I had the feeling that Xbox had no identity. I used to own the Xbox One S back in 2019 and while I had some good time with it, seeing their Game Pass giving access to play on PC made something click in my mind. While I only owned potato PCs at the time, I knew that things will spiral down (and that was back in 2021 when I figured it out), now it's even more disturbing to find out I was actually correct 3 years ago. Since that "clicking" moment, I jumped from Microsoft (I also had a Nintendo Switch, still have it) to Sony since I didn't wanna bother with 3000+$ gaming PCs. While I don't have that many games on my now PS5 and VR 2, they're still far better experiences on them (heck, I bought Diablo 2 Rez on it so I could resume my online characters)
Yep because all pcs cost 3k plus. You are a clown
i am lost my heart
i am lost hi fi rush
Hi Fi rush wasn't a profitable game the studio behind it didn't make enough money so they simply closed it down like any other business would do I swear you guys have never worked a day in your life
@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005 The game is about big corporations bad, so...
Microsoft never really cared about hardware. They care about software. I think the XBox was a power play from the start. The company that makes the best console doesn't win. The company that makes the best games does. Now that they took out the software competition and showed they could be hardware competitors, they are ready to make the gaming version of Microsoft Office.
respect gears
Not anymore
I don't think the Xbox needs to exist anymore, like Windows.
Cool story bro
I remember in 2021 or 2022,Phil Spencer said that Sony and Nintendo are not their Opponents in this business.They're more focused on Google(Stadia)and Amazon(Luna)who has released their Cloud Gaming System.Maybe it's also bc the 3 of them are trillion dollar companies
Well,looks like their Ego is killing themselves 😂
Forza is fucking Goated, and so is Cars 3.
Wonder how this video sounds if it waited til after the xbox showcase. Seems every youtuber had amnesia and started praising xbox after they dropped serve after serve
So many common issues between both consoles which shows the dire straits that gaming in general has. But at this point what even is the point of Xbox? At least PlayStation has something unique not offered elsewhere
The console wars are long over… Xbox doesn’t care about console sales or game exclusivity. It’s very obvious too see that they don’t want to be a console or video game game… they just want to be the Spotify of video games which is why the have games on all platforms now and not just Xbox.
I'd say its still more embarassing for sony, they were massively ahead going into this generation and they have done nothing with it while microsoft have made small steps forward
The Xbox One Series X is the Wii U of Microsoft Consoles but without exclusives.
No it is not.
The series x has been my favorite console. I don’t think it was made for you. Stick to playing switch. I mean if forza is just a car game to you well then Xbox isn’t for you
Xbox isn't a racing system, forzas mid nobody wants to rep races 24-7 Xbox is originally a nitty gritty game made for men, gears of War and halo type shi obv u don't know what console your playing ya nancy
@@raymargreene2985 I know it well. Also I have a life outside the console and I touch grass unlike your bitch ass.
Let’s not glaze over the fact that call of duty. One of the biggest franchises will be an Xbox exclusive eventually and also first party exclusives don’t sell nearly as much as third-party exclusives like men call of duty in NBA 2K exclusive would be lucky to sell a 10th of the amount that something like NBA 2K would sell people do not usually buy consoles for their exclusives.
What’s that BGM that comes on with final thoughts? So familiar but can’t place it.
I’m picturing a main menu in a Sonic the Hedgehog collection 🤔
I swear if Xbox had a cooler looking controller I’d be all in. It’s stupid but idc.
You seem to get the best bang for your buck with Xbox.
Sony is the iPhone of gaming. 👎
Hey, my guy, in 2024, what games are coming to Playstation, I'll wait???
Astro bot just dropped with a 94! Has Xbox EVER had a game breaking that? Lmao...stay with the mediocrity bruh
Not a great time, but definitely not a downfall.
Gamepass has 35 to 40 million subs ultimate costs 20$ do the math thats 20$ from 40 million people every month.
I jumped to pc this year but I still hope microsoft learns from its mistakes & listens to constructive criticism, if they don't make good games across the board by the next xbox generation I'll just stay on my pc and vote with my wallet
You know maybe you should have kept the Game Pass subscription because you had access to 500 free games in the fact that you unsubscribe because Microsoft shut down one IP is not Microsoft problem that’s your pro and that’s a terrible financial decision. That’s your problem. You canceled a great deal of a subscription because they shut down one when you could play all these games, I just feel like you like
Okay, I have to stop watching this video after 4 minutes because you straight up ignores many IPs for some reason, which makes me feel like this is going to be a biased video. I don't know you. I don't care about consoles, but make a fair comparison next time.
The Xbox community is happy as fuck wdym 😂 if you truthfully believe the ps5 is the better gaming experience you gotta stop smoking fr. I own both ps5 and Xbox series x and the only benefit to the ps5 is the exclusives they have, however almost every single game has zero replay value, worse online servers, a drastically worse game pass, less games overall
Also saying Xbox only has 4 or 5 exclusive Ip's is actually wild. All the backwards compatible games down to the original Xbox, 3rd party games, indi games, your fliboying like a mf, "I'm JuSt StAtInG fAcTs" most of what you said is bs 😂 cope
The series x would be great if it wasn't a massive scam designed to make you re buy every backwards compatible disc you already own on the digital store, as the discs will stop reading, even some xbox one games don't read
Greta video. The editing is great. Looks like it took a lot of work.
Was really surprised at the low sub count
But you did omit gears of war is a relevant Xbox brand franchise
