      I switched from the 360 to ps3 ( when the last of us came out) then stayed on PlayStation until about 6 months ago, because I’m sick of the remasters, the ugly female woke characters that have plagued Sonys games recently and because their pride flags on the store. Plus I wanted to play halo infinite. It appears I made the right choice because I liked the look of a lot of the Xbox console exclusives on display at their recent showcase, while Sony continues to release woke trash like concord. Plus gamepass offers more value- never remain loyal to any company go to the one that offers you the best value at that time.

      This was my absolute favorite. But when the whole hype about the Xbox died, i simply switched over to PC and never regret it.
      I now also have a old used Xbox one to play Multiplayer games and old games like Injustice 2, Modern Warfare 2 etc.
      but thats it. There is no reason to buy an xbox if it doesn thave any cool exclusive titles. I would rather buy a playstation / nintendo Switch for play all the nice titles it has.

      @sangan3202 it's not. People are well behind if still saying gaming is dead (buggy spiderman 2 and bastardized ff7 rebirth that made me celebrate goofy crisis core, with mario unlimited until spring 2024 was pretty bad, though wonder was a breath of fresh air). If uninitiated, a ton of console games just went on sale, and next week there's gonna be rocket knight re-sparked that was nice enough to do an intro sale everywhere. I also enjoyed MLB the show 24 on game pass, and college football 25 should be fun if they do better than madden.
      Tomba, astrobot, gori, and shadow of the ninja reborn are a few more fun upcoming games too. Then of course pc handhelds/hybrids for free demos not on console (ps plus premium was bs but at least they're gonna add vr2 games outside of demos, and the pc adapter may be something for those who want to use PC albeit limited, as meta quest has so much software despite needing accessories).
      Definitely something for everyone, though you can't encourage predatory purchases like those $100 games with all the crazy season add-ons, or multiversus doing bs for extra payment, ban iron giant from unranked or censoring velma's police call.
      I could go on about more, but gaming made a good turnaround. There's still some bad stuff like the legend of heroes trails through daybreak I mocked, but I did have fun with the misty battlefield (physical includes cool art and sound) and wargroove 2. Sales do help also, as I could tolerate dragon quest infinity strash's limitations as I do like the battles and playing as multiple characters.

      Overall I dont really see Nintendo ever becoming Number 1 in a very long time and if they do then it will be because Sony got complacement or pulled a Microsoft but no doubt when Nintendo closes that gap it will absolutely push Sony and lit a fire in them to cause them to take the generations more seriously.

      Nintendo I used to place third with the Nintendo Wii because I always felt it was niche platform and they had a lack of third party games on their and due to the WiiU being a bomb it really set them back a long time until the Switch came out and since the switch they have rebuilt their reputation and are releasing lots of exclusive games and are now importing third party games and I see the switch 2 continuing this trend and momentum.

    Xbox 360 was incredible before Kinect, if they kept investing in good IPs it could have paid off. Three Gears of War games in the same generation, two numbered Forza games and Forza Horizon, XBLA...It even had some great JRPGs, Eternal Sonata is beautiful.

      4 Gears of War games on 360. Eternal Sonata was pretty bad, but Blue Dragon and Star Ocean 4 were worse, Lost Odyssey is significantly better. 360 also had huge LAN support for basically every game until near the end. Games like Dead Island and Dead Space 3 don't have LAN. Music player functionality while playing games and it paused for game cutscenes. Media Center functions. VGA cable. First time a console had access to game demos via internet, and many games had demos. XBLA games having mandatory trials/demo. Games were restricted to 10MB for a game update. Games didn't need to be installed until late GTA5, Far Cry 4 years unlike PS3 games often needing an install. Limited backwards compatibility.
      Biggest faults of the 360 were proprietary HDDs and memory cards, early game cases digging a ring into discs, one of the worst/sloppy D-pads, the loud disc drive at full speed, the failing consoles for 4ish years until the S model appeared. Big failings: HD-DVD, making paid themes worthless after console UI updates (Blades, then Xbox Avatars, then Metro). XNA games not working after updates. Wireless microphone, Nickel batteries, Kinect, Wireless wired steering wheel needing batteries, early models didn't have HDMI, and were restricted to composite, component, VGA.

    Crazy to think Microsoft got it so right with the original version of the Xbox 360, it was just so perfectly executed, it had a really snappy fast dashboard that was simple and easy to navigate, it had almost no perceivable latency at all, it had immaculate analogue video via component/VGA/RGB and fantastic digital image quality via HDMI and the 360 supported a plethora of different resolutions and aspect ratios (and it actually renders them all properly and adjusts POV accordingly), the games ran either off the disc just like precious generations, but you also had the option of installing the whole game on the main drive, giving you much faster loading times and faster texture rendering, and you could still enjoy high-quality digital direct CD audio as the game was still in the DVD drive, and then there was the really spot on HRTF audio the 360 had that every game had natively baked into the game, giving the 360 proper multi-positional surround sound thanks to it's 256 32-Bit audio channels, MS mandated every game be encoded in high-quality DD 5.1 at the minimum, and many were in DTS, the 360 just got the audio spot on, Dead Rising for instance has really good HRTF audio baked into the engine.
    Then there are the games, there were plenty of single-player exclusives like Dead Rising, The Darkness, Gears of War series, Halo series, Forza, tons of exclusive gems and tons of multi-plats that played best on the 360, and that was just the main game platform on the 360, it also had the incredible XBA platform that MS had put strict limits in place that turned out to be genius because it meant we got a huge library of digital only exclusives that were consistently released on the platform at good price points, gems like Splosion Man, Limbo, Shadow Complex, Trials HD, Boom Boom Rocket, Battlefield 1943, and dozens more and they were nearly all bangers, one after the other, this wouldn't have happened has MS not put size limits in place for XBA games that forced devs to focus on gameplay instead of just fancy presentation and so on, there was even the Indies platform that had it's own guidelines and size limits, and it gave us gems like Dig Deep Miner, it was the spiritual successor to PlayStations Net Yaroze project, we even got some of the first HD remasters, and these were actually well done remasters that left the spirit of the game intact and just upgraded the resolution and in some cases audio quality, we got gems like Resident Evil 0 HD, Beyond Good & Evil HD, XBA had very little shovel ware due to MS placing quality standards not seen on current platforms, which is why moderns digital platforms have so much shovel ware.
    There were also great quality of life touches on the 360, like being able to mix your own music CD's into video games you were currently playing, and it did it so well because it properly mixed and balanced the audio levels with he current games audio effects and disabled the games normal soundtrack but left the SFX intact with proper sound levels, that was all purposely done and thought out by the MS devs, Microsoft employed their best dev talent that normally worked on Windows for the 360s initial Blades OS, which is why it was so good, sadly MS destroyed it though with the awful dash updates that just got worse & worse until it reached peak terrible levels with the Metro dash, the NDE was good in comparison, but nothing came close to the snappy Blades GUI.
    Oh did I mention the 360 also had near perfect OGXB backwards compatibility with over 96% of the library playable in 1080p & DDL 5.1, what about the native PC monitor support that can do 4:3, 16:10 aspect ratios as well as traditional 16:9, what about the immaculate online multiplayer network with perfect always on HQ party voice chat, the instant messaging in game by either voice or text, the matchmaking that just works and works well, or the sub 5ms latency over HDMI or sub 1ms via VGA or RGB on a CRT, the brilliant achievement's that can really extend the replayability of your favourite games and add a real challenge, leader boards and high-scores, MS gave us all of those things with the 360 (and even the OGXB for some of those features).
    All that momentum, amazing games, console hardware and software MS built was destroyed with the 360 E type with the Metro Dash and Xbox One, which had dog slow user dash riddled with latency, COD Ghosts felt as if you were playing through quick-sand, MS forgot how to make exclusive games, except for Rare Replay, the Xbox One has nothing worth buying the console for, the digital platform was just a generic digital storefront, gone were those special and creative Xbox Arcade games, gone were those experimental Indies, gone were the QOL features that we got to enjoy on the 360, gone was the plug & play choice of just playing of the disc in seconds, gone was the optional update choice, gone was the low latency gameplay, Xbox went from the gold standard video game console, to the pointless paper weight with no games, piss poor online network performance, no always on voice chat in the name of censoring people, I could go on.
    With MS dead in the water now, there may be an opening for a newcomer to release a console that lives up to the original Xbox 360 Arcade console.

      Right now no one is interested in buying Xbox because the games can be played on PC anyway. For some consumers that is great, they can buy one less system and for strictly PC players is great as well since they get games they weren't getting before.
      But this means that the console is pointless and therefore low sales. and the lowers and lower sales go the more it will be pointless to exist as a platform and ether just shut down or because another PC store or simple game developer.
      The guy who invested in an Xbox also feels duped as well. He bought that system to get something unique and he realises is pointless having it.
      Is like if Apple went and put iOS and every app they have and every operating system and tech they have in every other system. Now you can get everything Apple by just buying any Pc or Smartphone. Some people will love it but Apple will become a much smaller company and people that invested in their highly priced products will get so annoyed they will want to smash them on the nearest wall.
      Nintendo understands this which is why they keep their stuff and don't give it to everyone even if a Mario game on PC will make good money.
      A good example on how console sales matter is the fact that Playstation Plus has more subscribers than Game Pass despite Xbox promoting and leaning on game Pass much more heavily. Microsoft has been pushing Game Pass like crazy paying billions to enhance it and yet Playstation Plus has a lot more subscribers simply because more people have Playstation.
      And more people have Playstation because more people thought there is still some value getting one. Sony though is following the mistakes of Microsoft on PC releases even to lesser degree and they will start feeling the pain in future consoles sales if they think they can put everything on PC and it won't hurt their console sales.

You could get nVidia GeForce Now installed on a FireStick, pay the $200 a year nVidia subscription, and Cloud play PC games. HD TVs supposedly will also be able to play Live Service games, too. On the PC side you'll probably need to pay $500 for a video card that compares directly with consoles, say the PS5, like RTX 3080 and RX6080, so, basically you'll need to build about a $1500 PC. Don't forget to buy MS Win 10 & 11, too. Sure, you could go with an RTX 2070 for $300, but that just means that you'll end up building a $800 - $1200 PC. So, since PC games are all digital, why spend $1500 when $200 will do? Yes, right now the PC is the way to go, but in a few years you may not need a PC to game. What if MS came out with a streaming app on your TV that would allow you to play all their games through your TV and pay $200 to GamePass? Oh, right now you'll need to go hard-wired Ethernet USB adapter, like CableMatters, but eventually TVs will move away from USB2.0 and go with Wi-Fi 6 chips, or Wi-Fi 7. $500 consoles are still cheaper than $1500 PCs, so they're not exactly irrelevant.

      Firing people and then saying they need more games like the ones those people made is one of the worst takes I've seen in gaming history, and only adds more cynicism to the already cynic landscape of tech development.

      Exclusives are becoming less and less economically sound, games are taking longer and more expensive to make, PlayStation is miles ahead of the Xbox in terms of sales and Nintendo pretty much owns the handheld market thanks to the Switch.
      There's not really any more room for Xbox to grow besides subscription/cloud. Maybe the story would have been different if they took iPhone seriously in 2007 and Windows Phone would have dethroned Android. They could have done something around mobile and maybe Windows as a whole should have started to migrate to ARM since then. All of these issues are all symptoms of the bigger problem which is Microsoft.
      Of course, having a subscription service with a slow stream of content of varying quality is not going to make your service any good. If you're taking ownership from costumers then you have to distract them with new content constantly.

    The Wii's popularity with non-traditional gamers is what ruined Xbox. The Wii was smartphone games before smartphones. It sold like hotcakes because smartphones didn't exist yet, and Microsoft foolishly thought that this was a permanent trend and wanted a piece of that pie.
    But whoops, then smartphones became a thing and all the non-traditional gamers played their shovelware there. This is why the Wii U and Kinetic failed. Their target audience all got smartphones and left consoles behind.
    That's the trouble with catering to the casual masses instead of real gamers. The casual mob is fickle. MS chased a brief trend (the Wii) and lost badly to Sony because of it.

The tech came hand in hand, being great for people who might just want a cheaper* blu-ray player and also for gamers since games were again stored on fewer discs.
    I don't see how focusing the Xbox One on forcing the kinect to be on, having constant internet connection, not being able to trade games, was doing anyone any favours, it wasn't like an icing on the cake like the ps3. End of the day it was just a stupid re-design that focused on a group of people that weren't instrumental in the success of the console in the first place.
    Now we're at a point where Microsoft is slowly turning into a publisher rather than a sony competitor which is just bad for everyone. I feel like the moment Microsoft announced they'd be porting their games to the PS4/5, they basically started waving the *white* flag.

    And even to this Gen Microsoft are making failures and mistakes, Xbox Series S is one of them making a less powerful version of the series X has caused release delays, due to that to release on Xbox the game needs to be playable on both consoles. And lastly the lack of exclusive console only games, exclusives are what makes people buy your console, not having them means the console is not worth buying. Sony will soon need to learn this lesson soon, with some of their exclusive titles being available on PC.

      I agree. The previous captain crashed the boat and it began to sink. The second captain came in with a smile and reassuring words, then started selling off parts of the boat and everyone clapped at him because he did it with a smile, then they realized they have less boat now.

    Main reason Microsoft failed with xbox was their decision to make cross platform with PC. Think about it. What's the reason to have Xbox when you can get PC and a controller and end up with xbox but better? And no, you don't need high end PC to match the power of current consoles. 3 years ago sure, but deffinetly not now.

      There have been talks about allowing 3rd party stores on Xbox. This could be pretty cool, but why do that when I can get a cheap stream box, install Moonlight and stream from my PC to my TV with near unnoticeable latency and quality loss?
      The only thing Xbox Series are good for is playing 360 games.

      @@Ozzianman I do not think that third party shops would do any good to be fair. They would have to optimise for hardware that not many people are using. Agree on the backwards compatibility tho. Thats where xbox clearly wins.

      That's probably the path Microsoft will continue to go down. They are a software company first, and they want people to buy that software on as many platforms as possible.

    Its so sad to me that the Xbox and the 360 were two of the best consoles ever made, and the xbox one and series x are possibly the most boring. Ive had an xbone and series x for the last 9 years respectively and the only games I can truly say are timeless classics that can be replayed countless times, is everything in the master chief collection (except halo 4) and those games came out way before the xbox one. Sony and Nintendo have multiple franchises that are on that level. I do believe Don and whoever else thought his shit was a good idea killed the console, but microsoft has been failing for 10 years to bring it back. Im not saying Sony and Nintendo dont have their problems, and the PS5 might be more boring than the Series X, but theyre still killing it. The only good thing has been game pass. Not infinite, not gears 5, sure as hell not halo 5, hifi rush and sea of thieves were pretty good, but now you can play SOT on playstation and they just killed the company that made hifi. I used to defend xbox, but its impossible with how poorly its been handled even after a decade of its biggest mistake. Just take me back to the 360 and wii days

    Xbox pivoting to compete more with Nintendo than Sony was their biggest mistake during the last years of 360. The 360 was in the best place to be at Sony and then Microsoft shifted focus. Nintendo hasn't tried to compete with Xbox and Playstation since the GameCube. Nintendo has resigned itself to being its own thing.

    Phil Spencer has been a dud. He sold us a lot of promises for exclusives. it only took about 10 years for just some of those games to come out to mediocre reviews and now they are further diluting the console by bringing over exclusives to PC and playing around with the idea of bringing exclusives to other consoles. they focused on purchasing studios for Game Pass and I have yet to see any of them do a worth while game. And then there is the many studios they have been closing. It feels like they are questioning the path they chose (As they should given its a bad path) and are now wondering if they should ditch the Xbox as a platform despite their insistence that they are committed to it. It definitely doesn't feel that way and once they lose that trust, people start moving away and at that point they lose control of the situation.
