Still. Yelling promotions on just Twitter is far from enough. Man needs to be replaced with someone who really understands how to market Xbox worldwide and not some places here and there with Xbox McDonald’s collab posters.

This is the worst time in Xbox history to be a Xbox gamer. 7 year old console. $800 for a 7 year old console that was $275 a year after release and $300 for years. Xbox gave Playstation all their exclusives. Claimed your microwave and toaster were also Xbox's. Playstation released a Pro console years ago and Xbox did nothing.

u/Odiekt 19h ago

It's arguably just a really bad time to be a gamer in general.

Not only has Xbox had Console price increase but Sony and Nintendo had as well.

In regards to Sony. They have probably released 40-50% the amount of games they did for PS4 and not every one of them is doing well (Marathon has struggled massively, Helldivers 2 hype has also died down. Even with an Xbox release . Wolverine didn't sell as much as they had hoped nor did the review well, Spider Man 2 was also not commercially successful either). They have pretty much abandoned PSVR 2(who didn't see that coming?) and they are stopping disc production which has turned a lot of people against Sony and now they have the massive Jailbreaker exploit that's only getting worse (better) as the days go by.

Nintendo are still hung on the Switch. It's hard to go from one of the best selling consoles ever to now trying to get that audience and newer people to pick up the next "upgrade" in the switch 2 when people aren't that pushed due to financial or personal reasons. They have/had that massive Palworld lawsuit that has completely gone against them so they don't have control on "monster-catching" patients, Rights etc

There's hasn't been much Nintendo downfall (imo) but for Xbox and PS5 I think this generation has been equally bad for both of them just for different reasons. But out of the 2 I think Sony are going down a deeper path of being tones deaf of what their customer what's vs how to get max profits.

At least with Asha it seems Xbox has been listening to the community more and trying to turn the ship. So we will see what happens over the next few years. But as it stands. It's a really bad time to be a gamer imo.

u/lars1216 18h ago

Switch 2 basically has the same problem as the Wii U did over a decade ago. It was preceded by a HUGELY succesful product, bought not just by gamers but also by lots of general consumers. And that succesful product (Wii / switch 1) was also discounted to oblivion late in the life cycle. So many of those customers stuck / stick with their Wii / switch 1 for literally a decade, cause it was cheap entertainment and still great for their use case and the successor launched into a financially tough time for lots of people (the financial crisis was just over but people were still suffering the consequences when the Wii U launched and the switch 2 launched into inflation armageddon).

Both Wii U and Switch 2 never did and never will live up to the expectations placed upon them by the succes of the previous generation.

2

u/krishnugget Series X, PS5, Switch 17h ago

The switch 2 is selling well though, the Wii Us issue was never the Wii being so successful, there was much bigger reasons behind it

1

u/Firmteacher 16h ago

I’ve always seen the games typically being the problem on Wii U and now currently the switch.

1

u/lars1216 16h ago

I wouldn't say that personally.

The most popular games on the switch 1 were ports and/or remasters from the Wii U versions. There's a reason for that. Wii U had great games, but the system just failed horribly, mostly due to Nintendo and their marketing combined with some bad luck.

1

u/Firmteacher 16h ago

There are people who buy Nintendo just because it’s Nintendo, but what console selling games do they have? Have they ported or upgraded any more of their switch 1 library or has that also stagnated and stopped after the first year?

It’s like they swing it out of the park, then let off the gas every other generation.

1

u/lars1216 16h ago

I agree, it is like that. 😂 Atleast commercially. NES and SNES were both great, but since then? N64 was great, gamecube was a failure, Wii was great, Wii U was a failure, Switch 1 was great, Switch 2 isn't doing as well it seems.

Somehow it was different with their handhelds pre-switch though. Gameboy was great, gameboy color was great, gameboy advance was great, DS was great, 3DS was still pretty good considering the smartphone dominance by then.

1

u/Firmteacher 16h ago

Only thing they got going for Switch 2 right now are ports of games that the Nintendo only fans are finally getting. Like Elden ring, resident evil remake games to name a few lol otherwise it’s just a more expensive new console that doesn’t make all your switch games look and run better

1

u/DjSpelk 15h ago

Spiderman 2 was commercially successful.

Don't listen to Reddit complaints and narrative. It sold 18 million copies. It was the fastest selling game made by PlayStation selling 2.5 million in it's first 24 hours. It beat Mario and Sonic that released games at the same time and won D.I.C.E awards.

There are plenty of complaints about story pacing, length and the like but to say it wasn't successful is well wide of the mark.

1

u/Odiekt 13h ago

I myself know that it was commercially successful.

But from Sony PoV it wasn't as successful as they wished it had. They wanted it to ship 50+ million console, to reach at least 100+ million copies. It never reached those heights.

Because Sony is ran by "Yes" men that look at numbers and think "yeah we should aim this high because our stats show this specific path to growth".

If SM2 was as successful as they had wished it would have never been released on PC to push more sales.

I probably could have said SM 2 didn't sell as mush as Sony had hopped rather than not being Commercially successful. I was just thinking from Sony PoV when I wrote what I did.

1

u/DjSpelk 11h ago

Apart from you making all that up. 100 million is ludicrous. Only the likes of tetris and GTA have done that (and GTA was over about 4 releases of the same game and multiple platforms).

The insomniac leak showed an expectation of 10.5 million sales. Break even started at 5.5 rising to 7.2 million.

u/PlayBey0nd87 Touched Grass '24 22h ago

Lowest on a Series X was Target red circle or the online or GameStop Bundle going for $350. Like that deal was incredible - and lot of gamers brushed off the opportunity to upgrade.

Or maybe the demographic is different when compared to Sony because people were upgrading as soon as they came in stock

As a consumer I want exclusives that use a system’s exclusive features. Whether that should be a thing is the question, but as long as Joy-Cons and DualSense don’t work on other consoles the games built around them have to be exclusive and I like those enough to be fine with exclusivity. I’m not gonna pass up Astrobot just because the other systems don’t support DualSense features.

This is a marketing slogan that Xbox used before (E3 2008 for example)

They pick one exclusive they have and two popular games. And then they say "You can only play these three games on Xbox"

I think in 2008, it was Xbox 360 is the only place you can play Call of duty, Halo and Grand Theft Auto 4

3

u/tensuron 1d ago

Yes they only have one exclusive so far they really need more.

On the other side of the fence they could say that PlayStation is the only place you could play God of War Laufey, Phantom Blade 0, GTA 6, Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Silent Hill Townfall, Kena 2, The Lost Wild, Talos Principle 3, Guild Wars 3, etc etc

That’s why Xbox desperately needs more exclusives than just one per year

u/ThisAppHatesFreeSpea 1d ago

This sub don't really have many real Xbox fans. They are 100% fine with PlayStation exclusives but get pissed at the idea of Xbox exclusives. I for one can't wait for Xbox to make elder scrolls, fable, halo and everything else they make inhouse Xbox exclusive so that people actually have a reason to choose Xbox over PlayStation. Otherwise Xbox won't exist after next generation. The big picture isn't exclusives are bad for gamers because Sony refuses to stop. The big picture is less competition is bad for gamers and Microsoft abandoning Xbox because of bad sales is bad for gamers

This is also basically the only time ever he can make this statement and use place/platform instead of console, since GTA 6 isn’t on PC.

All their games come to PC day 1 that’s something else they have to address, exclusives don’t work to sell consoles as much if they aren’t truly the only place or platform they are available on. No one’s gonna want to admit it but everything day 1 PC is hurting the console sales and console value even more than the games they put on PS5

Most PC gamers don’t want a console. If you think in the current financial climate that taking games off PC is going to have PC gamers rushing out to spend 700+ on another piece of hardware to play a handful of games I think you’re crazy personally.

Xbox have created a combined Console and PC ecosystem and it’s pretty awesome if you are using both or just a PC gamer who has no interest in a console. There’s no way taking games away from PC at this point isn’t going to be a huge net negative. It’s nothing like another console.

u/drewbles82 19h ago

It feels like arguing with Trump/Reform supporters when it comes to exclusivity. 10% of console owners actually buy exclusives, they usually cost more than most of the 3rd party games out there and you want them to restrict their sales to one device... the less money these studios make, less likely they will survive. The pressure their under to do good as well cuz if they screw up, it's a lot of jobs gone... at least selling to every platform, you have more chance on a bad game to make some money back. As a dev you probably are gonna take less risks, less innovation just incase those don't pan out. I get keep the CORE games exclusive like, Gears, Halo, Forza, Fable etc but stuff like Fallout, COD, ES is just plain dumb. It's not going to suddenly make millions of people sell their PS to move over to Xbox. Maybe 15years ago but now, with consoles over 500, most of us having digital libraries we've spent 1000s on over the years, people don't want to just let them go.

Personally I'd keep newer Games exclusive like Gears, Fable, Halo, Forza would be timed as 5 sold over 6 mil copies on PS so that's not something to ignore. Fallout/ES should be timed only exclusive. COD should be for everyone as that game makes a ton.

u/Ninja__Gaiden 24m ago

If XBOX wants to stop sucking they'll go full exclusive. It's annoying that Playstation gets to keep Marvel games off XBOX platforms yet people are telling MS to hand their games over to Sony? Hell naw.

Playstation has GT why the fuck would they need Forza? XBOX is gonna continue to decline as a hardware unless they give people a reason to come to their box. Not just core franchises. I dont care how expensive consoles are, if XBOX makes everything exclusive gamers candy-asses will go out and buy an XBOX. Digital libraries can always be rebuilt. No one is telling then to sell their Playstation. XBOX is in a better position when they have millions more boxes in the living room not less.

Eso se que la CEO de XBox escucha a la comunidad es una tomada de pelo ! Solo un tonto pensaría que eso es cierto! Ella hace lo que le dicen que e debe hacer: Despidos masivos,introducción de la IA,Xbox Labs,más controlitos,cambio de interfaz ! Pero y los juegos?? Saldrán hasta en 5 o 6 años y mientras que??? Estamos muy mal !!

This post just shows how finished Xbox is lol.. 2 games that are available on PS5 and another that has a very niche fan base

1

u/Sinner_San 9h ago

I had hoped that gta6 woulda been a playstation exclusive forever. then you all would have to fight to get a ps5-6 lol

u/spooky__scary69 XBOX Series S 8h ago

GTA is literally up for preorder every time I open the ps5 store but go off

u/speedymaus1 8h ago

I hate my Series X. Its the worst console with the worst games ever. Im so glad i have a ps5 also. I only play Forza and Halo on my XBOX.

The PS5 has just a much better user experience. The menu is smooth, the story games are great, i can use my usb peripherals (dac/amp, microphone, headsets)

Imo the only people defending XBOX, are people who dont have a PS5.

u/RandalC1 8h ago

Except Nobody Wants To or Is Playing Gears E-Day , that being the Only Exclusive on the List you can still Play the 2 games people actually want to Play on PS5 & P.C. in 2-5 Months.

Last I'll Say C.O.D. MW4 isn't coming to GamePass so you'll have to buy it.

Valor Mortis , Dune Awakening , FH.6 all on Gamepass & We Got Metro 2033 , Stranger Then Heaven & WoLong 2 also all Coming to Gamepass soon though.

u/runaways616 6h ago

That would be a brag if in reality all of those are console exclusive but only one is.

1

u/WeaknessJolly3617 6h ago

I have the next week booked off ❤️

1

u/Ninja__Gaiden 32m ago

I thought GTA4 was already on Series X due to back compat

Isn't CoD MW4 also on PS5?

I concur that XBOX needs to come back to exclusives. Glad E-Day made the list. If Sharma makes Elder Scrolls, the next Doom, or Fallout exclusive then we'll have true competition versus Playstation and their Marvel games.

Its Marketing 101 for those comments that are triggered

u/LazyBoi_Matt 1d ago

I'm convinced this thread is triggered fanboys... Either that, or the reddit comprehension skills is lower than I thought.

What ever you think it is, lower it. Then lower it again.

u/Bubsy7979 1d ago

I really don’t understand why gamers want exclusive games? What’s the benefit for the consumer? I understand it from a business perspective but why would gamers want a smaller player base?

u/Pikminer5087 1d ago

It gives the console identity and a reason to buy them.

Zero benefit. But when the competition are both keeping their toys in their own sandbox, you’re conceding defeat by putting your titles on their platforms.

u/MrBlonde1984 1d ago

Also , exclusive games usually perform better when specifically designed for one thing .

When a game comes out for literally everything theres always issues with something.

u/WEAreDoingThisOURWay 1d ago

he also really understood the success of Hi Fi Rush

u/ADvar8714 1d ago

Also, you can play expidetion 33, Gears of War and Doom (entire series) merely on subscription

I love this fake marketing calling exclusive a multiplatform game lmao, just like Sony used to do for years, hope this keep going.

Just need him to understand the point and necessity of GOOD marketing

u/Alternative-Way4750 1d ago

Seems like another post full of people saying "anti-consumer" when they really mean "Wahhhhh, I want everything the way I want it and when I don't get it, I'm sad and mad and why can't they just cater to me I'm all that matters!".

u/Muzza25 1d ago

Reminder, the only people who win from exclusives are the people making the consoles, players and gem devs both are negativly impacted. Fuck off with exclusives

u/Diligent_Silver194 1d ago

lol, the only game im playing is gta6

u/FujiFL4T 1d ago

I think if everyone wanted to play gears, we wouldn't be having this conversation lmao

u/eveningcaffeine 1d ago

as an Xbox gamer, there are also a ton of games that only Xbox CAN'T play

1

u/JodouKast 1d ago

What a seriously stupid statement. Throwing weight behind the only factual exclusive is just clout chasing. He can delete this now.

u/eddielopez_91 1d ago

yea well im getting it on ps5 whether you like it or not..

u/RazorSlazor XBOX Series X 23h ago

I don't understand being proud of gatekeeping. I get that it's a necessity because all the competitors are focused on exclusives and there needs to be a purpose in buying a console.

But still. Shit sucks. Anti consumer af.

u/damont87 23h ago

Xbox leaderships‘ need to talk constantly on social media is embarrassing. It’s obvious they don’t know shit about gaming. Remember when Asha tried to show off her profile?

Misleading and desperate. Current Xbox leadership in a nutshell.
