That is brutal. But I really don't see the point in another Xbox generation unless it's a small market, boutique item they are aiming for. As of right now, the brand is in the gutter in the eyes of the mainstream gaming public and it's only going to slide down lower. Two years from now it will be looking up from the sewer. But also in two years the Switch 2 will be entering it's Prime and Sony will be gearing up for PS6, and Microsoft want to enter that enviroment with a new system that will have zero exclusive games? Why? Anyone with any common sense can see how that will end. |
I agree with almost all of that except the thing that we all have to differentiate is the "brand" in terms of gaming releases and revenue has never been better, they are very healthy because of their multiplatform strategy. Releasing on PC, PS5 and soon Switch 2 is what is saving them. The quicker they get rid of their flailing hardware and fully embrace the 3rd party route then the negative PR stigma of their hardware can stop holding them back and they will begin to function properly as the best 3rd party publisher with no downside.
