"I can tell you how economics work: You make money - or you don't make money." 🤣 Unfortunately, it seems to me that many if not most of the high-paid corporate execs often don't really know more about the topic than that.
It’s simple, games industry isn’t growing because a) people don’t have that kind of disposable income no more b) Modern AAA games budgets are overblown and the games themselves are mediocre with a few good releases here and there c) Nothing can grow forever, Earth’s resources and people’s time are not infinite and games like any other entertainment product have to compete for people’s attention and engagement. With the kind of grindy boring games released these days, gaming isn’t appealing for a vast majority of the audience. People these days would rather prefer watching other people play video games than play themselves. That should tell us lot about how unappealing video games have become.
Just finished Jedi Survivor on Xbox and canceled my gamepass subscription there's nothing good left on gp I've bought so many games on ps5 in preparation for the Xbox dry spell I only pray that avowed and the fable reboot are good I know the girls but ugly but you can customize your character so that shouldn't affect my playthrough
I am tired of her bragging that she created a "Forwards Compatibility" team, like she cares about games and preservation. Xbox are the only company that limited backwards compatibility to the games they could sell. I am glad they made 30-35% of xbox OG and xbox 360 games backwards compatible. But it was not based on popularity or historical importance or any preservation criteria. It's just the games publishers/developers wanted to & were able to sell. At the time we had xbox one being a sales distaster and not much in the new xbox one digital store. Backwards compatibility with some enhancements is a great way of getting a lot of content, including xbox exclusives which were a rare beast on xbox one. They DID NOT make HALO & HALO 2 backwards compatible as they wanted to force gamers to buy a masterchief collection instead. They refused to preserve the two games that made xbox OG a success! The accountants wanted to focus on the digital store as it's a safe risk free 30% on 3rd party games. At that time the accountants loved that easy money and hated risking millions on 1st party exclusives with lower returns. Sarah Bond is looking at future hardware which may be ARM instead of x86. So do you think Sarah Bond & the accountants are worried about the xbox digital store have no content to sell for the next console. Or do you think she is worried about Sunset Overdrive not being playable on the next console????? Sony, xbox & amazon make billions from their digital store. When amazon make a new kindle do they try and brag that they are investing in book preservation by making your old books readable on the new kindle? It is crazy to imagine Amazon saying we have a new kindle and there are 10 books you can buy and read on it. It is commercial suicide to go from a massive digital store to an empty one. The original xbox is PC based the xbox one & series x are PC based. Backwards compatibility is technically much simpler than xbox OG games running on the xbox 360. And yet WAY MORE xbox OG games are playable on xbox 360. They don't really care about preservation. It's all about getting content on the digital store and adding buzz words like HDR to make it look more relevant & increase sales.
You guys care way too much about the future of a single company, if they cant innovate they will get cut off like nokia.. but a true gamer plays on all platforms
DEI is everywhere, it's not just xbox, playstation has similar problems and pc well thats microsoft, only place left is Nintendo and that is not really aimed at me
@AlcoveShadow Games for all should be the goal. Exclusives only live to divide and further the progress of a "console war". Which arguably Microsoft has lost. Nintendo has not been king since the 90s, PC also is the safest place to game currently and the least predatory and other than the entry fee of buying the thing, cheaper. Digital games vs physical copies make no difference..take the memery put it on a drive boom game preservation. Just like a copy. But the crew has proven that even a physical copy can be made little more than a paper wieght. Especially with these online-only titles. We are pretty boned until laws get passed that protect our rights as customers we get bent over behind every ULA & TOS. But nobody reads those. And as for RE 7-9. They must have been to hard/scary for you. Bet you loved the remakes.
Xbox has been going in this weird all inclusive super diverse bs direction since the end of the 360 days. It’s finally caught up to them and they are fckd.
Unpopular opinion. When you are over 16 and you still play on a child toy you maybe did something wrong. And arguments from the point of authority are not a great take. And bringing new players in means make children. But that's what so many forgot. We have dedicated people who wants to stay child free. Maybe we entered the universe 25 and it's scary.
Ohhhh Noooo, Im not going to be able to play on my XBOX anymore. How many times is XBOX gonna die since 2002 for me. Game Pass is trash and i dont pay for it. But i sure will use the hardware. 😁

I imagine most woman sleep their way to the top in the game industry just like every other industry. Qualifications rarely factor into it. Men are the only ones that get their positions based on merit
That's a bit extreme (even though it surely happens here or there), but far more than this it's stupid quotas that large companies everywhere apply nowadays - preferring women over men, or people of color over white people. In case of Sarah Bond, both may apply.
There will always be games... Why are you giving a fuck about a multi billion company if they fail it's because they don't deserve you're money... Move on to another platform... Screw the allegiance to a plastic box.. Gamers play games not toss yourselves over a plastic box
didn't watch the whole video, I am not a fanboy , i have a ps5 and a rig, why do I care ? because I can see more then 5ft infront of me. Video is mainly about DEI and how its destroying the west, as for there will always be games, hows the gaming scene in the 3rd world ? maybe look around you and you will see most of the western countries are becoming 3rd world which means no games. Another point if you think less choice is good for anyone apart from nintendo and sony then you need to have along think
You're speaking nothing but truth in this video and yet people will still fan boy for Xbox and PlayStation alike even though it's clear as day that they're both failing neither company is as good as it once and they actively f*ck their consumer's. between both companies they've made consoles completely pointless the only reason to ever get one is because it's far cheaper then a gaming PC.
The thing is you'll fanboys have been saying Xbox has been dead for the last 20 years but yet it is still here and it takes more than Windows in profit
They could use Sarah Bond to inflate hot air balloons...
She's a gamer, played games with her dad and knows about candy crush...

Her brain is a neverending loading screen
Not only that Xbox talk like they been making AAA games like Sony every game thats on Xbox is mid at best
Love the video and liked and subscribed. Hope you stick with it!

It's just a good way to shit on Microsoft. Looking at consolidation across the industry lately, this has been par for the course

@@NoBullOxGaming meh.. you acting like shareholders and not gamers, but kudos to you for the topic and views it really does draw attention..
Make and produce games that the gamers not the activists want! And just make games and fun not agenda based control systems!
She sounds like that black chick in the white house when they have the press release
you slowed down her speech. didn't ya... a bit more, and she would have sounded drunk.
They have been did since the begining of las gen it's just the trillion dollar company just keeps beating that dead corpse for over 11 years!
Is Sarah pretty 👀
Microsoft doesn’t need to worry about Xbox there a enough windows pc out there

I've been saying this for years, they died with the red ring of death. Only people keeping Xbox alive is loser fanboys. Keep losing Microsoft. Please.

They dont declare profits just revenue. They could have probably made more profit by keeping 70 billion in the bank.
Xbox has been on the record saying they have never made profit off of Xbox.
