This is what MS do when they are dead last! Imagine if they are the leader.
I didn't even know you need gold to play MP. No wonder I barely see any Xbox players on cross-play playing Fortnite


No it's cause Xbox gamers realised Fortnite was pants
 
LOL! No! Phil Spencer has had his position since late 2017. Took over a division that hadn't been funded for the previous 3 to 4 years. Had almost nothing in the pipeline from 2nd party. 6 studios. No identity. Head of Microsoft considered shuttering Xbox. Since has added 17 studios. More than 5x increase to staff. Over 20 million subs generated on a market disrupting product in that time without any major IP. Launched strong hardware. Recruiting highly regarded talent at a high clip. Head of Microsoft has gaming as part of his compensation for the first time ever.

It's not perfect. They are a bit disorganized and lack quality control. Happens when you expand any company quickly. They have to ride out the bad with the good as long as they continue to trend in the right direction overall. They're poised to have a big Fall. If they stumble this fall, then there will be questions. Until then, it still looks on track overall.
This is the reason why Xbox is dead last. People keep defending failure. He is not good enough. All the „achievements„ listed has more to do with deep pocket than capabilities. Give me 1 billions and I can recruit big bunch of people and studios too.
i give credit for Gamepass and maybe convince higher up to continue Xbox. At his position being good is not good enough, you want someone who is best in the field.

The first step is to fire Phil Spencer. I think this guy is living in an echo chamber/Ivory Tower & completely out of touch.
I have criticized him plenty, but this seems silly. The new hardware under him has been great, for all the negavity gamers give the XSS, it is actually a great little machine, I know cause I have one. Gamepass is simply what you do nowadays. He bought in a bunch of new studios.

While I certainly have issues with things, he has got Xbox going back in the right direction.

If anybody lives in an echo chamber it is gamers.
 
Fortnite is s***. Worst BR I have played...hell, I'd rather play Battlefield's Frestorm BR than terrible Fortnite.
Yeah, that's why Fortnite is dying.

"Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones." Kobe Bryant (RIP). :banana::banana::banana:

I know a lot of people do not like Fortnite, and not here to promote the game.

However, how the developer creates hype and talking point is an academic study in gaming & beyond. That's why it is the number 1 trending game in google.

While most BR games have maybe balance patches and some special event throughout a season, in Fortnite, the world literally changes throughout a season, making people guess the implication. Like adding helipad land zone, but without helicopters. So people know helicopters are coming. Its obvious but add anticipation. They have a mission where NPC asked you to investigate claw marks & other evidences. Then later investigate a crash landing of a spacecraft. People figure (not that its hard) Predator was coming, & he did, & beating him (cool fight where when he approach cloaked, you hear the hissing sound like in the movie) give you his skin, & you can get his cloaking device to cloak.

And it is still s***.

Dead last in what context? OG Xbox was new and had manufacturing issuess preventing price drops. Even so, i belive it still outsold Nintendo. 360 was pretty much even with PS3, so joint second. X1 was f***ed from before day 1. You wanna talk stuck in an echo chamber, that was Mattrick. Didn't see many defending that s*** show of a gen.

XSX/S too early. The gen hasn't even really started. They have a huge mountain to climb for sure, though.

Well, they already started out with not enough consoles to meet demand. So they need to fix that for starters.

I recall very vividly Xbox fans defending the Xbox One and the TV functions. A few here actually. I remember when there were votes predicting a 2:1 sales for the PS4 and people went bonkers saying that was mad and not going to happen. Look what sales numbers are now? Consensus is PS4 sold more than double the Xbox One. People will say but MS did not report numbers. We have sales estimates from companies that actually track these sales data for a living. So I don't believe they are talking out of their ass.

Anyways I am sure Xbox will do better this gen as they seem to be focusing more on games. This is a good sign.

MS didn't give us sales numbers.

But seriously though, in my heart “the eliminator” in forza horizon 4 is best BR
 
March or April to find a console supposedly? I don’t recall people having to wait till April to find an Xbox One.
My brother-in-law and I bought three Xbox One systems between the two of us on launch day in store without camping out, which would have been unheard of for the Series S or Series X.

His strategy was the one that investors and Nadella bought into. He was able to get the billions. No other lead of the Xbox division has gained the confidence of the board and investors the way Phil has. That's literally 80 to 90% of the game right there.

They are the most profitable they've ever been and growing an industry leading platform (Game Pass) faster than expected. Console is only a fraction of the business and without this other stuff being successful, they wouldn't be getting the money. AAA games take 4 to 5 years to make on average. End of 2021 he'll have been in this position exactly 4 years.

There are people that will defend things because it appeals to them. There's a difference between evaluating what appeals to us individually and being honest about the business of it all. Xbox One, from a business standpoint, was objectively a failure. The things they did towards the end of the gen set them up well for the next cycle though.

Gone nowhere. I have always praised things that deserve it, but people only remember the negative.

But you have to look at the big picture, where X1 was not defended and got demolished.
