| Leynos said: No. XBO is the reason why MS bought so many studios. XBO was just known for canceled games and mediocre exclusives. I have seen consoles with more memorable exclusives with a fraction of the sales XBO had. Wii U had more memorable exclusives. XBO seemed redundant and mostly useless. I won't get into the politics of sales as it's not as cut and dry as it seems. People still talk about consoles from decades past but I don't think XBO will be. Just kinda oh yeah that other console next to PS4. |
^ this.
XB had a PR nightmare start to the gen, but a year and half or so, with better games output than PS4.
After that, the PS4 just had better games releases rest of gen.
XB1 didnt end on a high note, it was the "wait for next e3! console", and the "60 meta games" one.
I dont think it redeemed itself.
Xbox fans, basically where okay to just jump to a new gen, and hopeing things would be fixed by then.
MS did give them some hope, in going out and buying alot of new studios (which means things likely will be as well).
Was it successfull in terms of profit? maybe.
Was it successfull in terms of endeering it to xbox fans? or growing the fan base? I seriously doubt it.
I think alot of less hardcore xbox users, after the XB1 gen, decided to go PS5 instead of next Xbox.
Simply because of getting burnt on the xb1.
