LOL....Xbox gamers seem to be attracted are dude bro games with multiplayer.  Xbox gamers dont usually play games like Scalebound unless they were multiplat last gen. Thats something Nintendo and Sony are more used to and supporting. Spencer knows the Xbox needs diversity, but when western AAA new IP's cant even sell on the Xbox the Japanese games don't even have a shot.  

As if the PS4 best sellers list isn't chock full of dudebreh MP shooters like Call of Duty, Uncharted, Battlefield, Battlefront, GTA, etc. What you're trying to say is US gamers are attracted to those types of games and the PS4 is this gens US dudebreh console of choice, where the 360 was last gen.

What new AAA western IP didn't sell on Xbox? Sunset? Maybe that has less to do with the userbase and more to do with the game.

Lol I never knew an Indiana Jones style story struck you as being dude bro like. Sunset overdrive would’ve sold well on the PlayStation. Sony just wanted the ip. So are you saying that it’s because of the quality of games like sunset overdrive, ryse and quantum break why they didn’t sell? No. Even Phil Spencer admitted himself... single player experiences seem to sell better with Sony and Nintendo’s core fanbases. If they want those gamers, they need to draw them back to the Xbox brand the same way the Xbox drew them from the ps2 to the 360. Good for Phil now working on those new ips. For all those gamers who complained and Phil heard, I salute them. Good luck to Phil taking those gamers because that’s the only way their market share will expand.
