Some of these posts in here are laughable. Honestly we are talking about multi-billion dollar business with huge investments into there divisions.
Xbox 1 even though a lot seem to and want to complain about it, cannot ignore the fact the console is a success story regardless how far behind it is compared to its main competitor. It is generating MS money, its Live members alone is extremely profitable, there big 1st party games are profiting (Despite gamers saying Halo 5 flopped selling 5+m Units)

How about we wait and see what Xbox brings to the table at 2018 E3 before jumping on the hate band wagon. Most cases with new Hardware releases it takes majority of the spotlight and we can all agree on that now the X has finally released, that gives MS the chance to now move its focus to its Software. Switch started out with a lack of games and still does yet look at it. Hardware is out the way and expect bigger things from Nintendo despite Zelda and Mario already released.

XB1 2018
Sea of Thieves
Ori Will of the Wisp
State of Decay 2
Crackdown 3
Halo (Game)
Forza (Game)
Playgrounds next Game
Remedy next Game
Coalition next Game
Rares next Game
A bunch of promising Indy games
A bunch of more supported BC games
A bunch of AAA 3rd party games (Timed and Exclusive)
And the possibility of E3 surprise announcements and brought/New/Old IPs.

Wait and see, no point complaining about it in a forum, MS cant hear you here.

Especially most people don't have the money or time to buy all or play all these games.

Microsoft dominates Latin America (smaller than Europe in buying power admit-tingly). However, doesn't mean a whole lot when comparing to 1st tier countries Like USA, Canada, UK, ect.

I don't know, it's almost as if Xbox fans bought the Xbox knowing it wouldn't get games like Fushigi no Gensokyo 3 or Daisenryaku: Dai Toua Kouboushi 3. So I don't see a reason to be mad.

I like taki saski dragon 3 tho.

What's funny is I was expecting a reply from you.  forever the apologist. lol.  Anyways, take those "niche" games out and PS still leads the way with more compelling and more variety of exclusivess.  It's fine if some of those "niche" flavors isn't for you, but I'm pretty sure all would agree more  quality option is better than no option, no?  So I'll go  and play my niche PS4  games while you continue to tell me you're happy you can play 360 games.  Gamers like you are reason why MS continues to  have no clue why they are getting spanked by Sony this gen when they were at least competitive last gen.  Why try our risk when your consumer base dont care.  

Yeah sure, I've been playing Gears 4, Battlefront II, AC: Origins and Forza Motorsport 7 on X1X and that's definitely 6 & 7th gen graphics...

Good thing MS is giving us more quality options in 2018 then I guess. You continue to play your niche PS4 titles, I'll continue using my Xbone for the reasons I bought it. And if I ever want to dip my toe into those stupid Japanese titles, I can fire my PS4 or Switch up and give them a go. The glory of owning all platforms :)

I think MS knows why they're getting beat this gen, which is why they've tried to erase pretty much everything that sank the Xbone at launch. Hope that helps. Also, yeah, the consumer base doesn't really care, so I'm not sure why you get so emotional about it.

Yes, especially the posts by people who apperantly are MS shareholders. Why should a gamer care for how much more an IP is that would have existed 1:1 if MS wouldnt have aquired it? Why would a gamer care for the sales figures of some mediocre shooter of a game franchise that has become stale? Why would i care for (live) numbers if it doesnt benefit this favorite hobby of mine? Why should a buncha old, already existing games be imperative? Nothing new, nothing exotic, nothing out of reach. In the contrary, Microsoft being successful relative to the cheap effort, relying on efforts of others than on their own merrits is rather detrimental.

Anybody can clobber up some hardware. Even me. I just visit some hardware website order a superawsome rig with such n such gigs n rams n bites. See, thats how easy it is. Yes, im fully aware there is alittle more to designing a console. But there is a whole lot more work involved when producing a videogame, even more when developing a good game, and even more when creating great games, even more so if you want a great game to surpass all others and set standards.

A new hardware generation should represent the spotlight for a new generation of games. However, with the need to stay competitive, but not having the big guns as the competition has, the only way is  to... Shovel games... on to the platform. BC, early access, EA access, open the floodgates. No, more doesnt  automatically equal better. We see this with Steam, and this is exactly what MS aims for on the console level. Not quality, but merely quantity PR. And thats certainly not something i support. I value my hobby and dont treat it like five dollar hooker.

Exactly. There are enough unspecial and mediocre games. No need to praise MS for putting more litter on the already huge pile of grey averagness.

Speaking of laughable, your list is a perfect encapsulation of Microsoft's problem: four announced games and a wishlist of what they might do, because honestly there is nothing better.
Even just looking at those four, only two I've seen garner any amount of excitement : Sea of Thieves and Ori 2. Crackdown 3 and SoD 2 seem to only exist in "lists of XBox exclusives", with almost nobody showing any real excitement for either property.

Your comparison to the Switch is also ridiculous, as Switch's "lack of games" lasted between the release of BotW and Mario Kart 8, or around a month.
In Xbox's case it has been going on the entire generation, and by some accounts longer, as we've all seen the number of exclusives dwindle since the early 10s

Rather than explain away the unjustifiable and frankly inexclusable lack of content on the system, you'd have an easier time trying to convince me why I should have any interest in a parade of games where you "drive the car and shoot the gun" and do very little else.
