Do you even live in the same world as the rest of us? I mean...no crippling brand image? Are you okay? Microsoft has been the laughing stock of the industry since the Xbox One's launch in 2013. No games, no exclusives, and all this talk of 'more power' in the OneX model did nothing, Sony still beats them senseless and they continue to give less and less of a reason to get an Xbox by putting all their exclusives and features on PC/Switch. They have nothing but the power, and history proves that Raw Power has virtually no impact on game or console sales. The most powerful console never wins their generation. PS4 was bested by Xbox OneX, Wii won that generation over two far superior consoles, PS2 was the weakest of the three of that generation. I don't actually know which was stronger between PS1 and N64, but the point is that, historically, the most powerful console doesn't get a significant boost. Nothing in the last seven years indicates any change in momentum for Microsoft. They're putting out exclusives at a slower rate than ever before, and all we're getting is a dozen rapid-fire promises and attempts to strong-arm the competition by buying smaller companies. All the promises in the world mean nothing if they've consistently failed and fell short over the last decade or so. (Seriously, I think 2009 was the last time Xbox was on top of anything) |
Microsoft has been the laughing stock of *some Internet fanboys*. Just fixed that 1 line.
I don't understand why Internet fanboys claim that Xbox is the laughing stock of the industry, when they don't work for or know anybody in the industry.
Maybe you personally don't like the brand, and that's fine, but "the laughing stock of the industry" is kind of a pet peeve of mine. Are we talking about the brand that every single major 3rd party publisher develops for? Even now very few Japanese devs avoid skipping it. A brand that is worth billions of dollars in revenue. A brand that's offering the best value in services in gaming? True they'll likely be in third place again, but a laughing stock? Come on now. Give a little respect lol.
