The thing is though, they've had what, ten years now to sort out their first party woes? At some point they need to show results, not just promises. Yes, games take longer to make now, but that's why they should sorted this stuff out sooner. It's no good waiting until your system has burned out to start releasing your big guns. Hifi Rush is cool and all, and does seem to be a good game, but that sort of thing is no match for the likes of Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, or Spiderman. Not many people are going to drop $500 on a new console to play Hifi Rush. |
Better late than never as the saying goes. We all know what MS should have done differently at the beginning of last gen, but they didn't. Recapping history and arguing about that now doesn't do anyone any good. What I care about now is, what they are doing currently. It's on record, Xbox almost went under during the Xbox one. Instead of Phil waving the white flag, they decide to go the other direction. It could always be a lot worse, like no Xbox at all. Of course there are some people who would have preferred this, but I'm not even going to humor those console war clowns.
You asked, what was the last critically acclaimed game. Hifi Rush meets this standard. If you played it, you would know this. Just because its no Spiderman or Mario in sales doesn't negate this fact. If you want Xbox to release a top seller, Starfield already did this. I guess this doesn't count because it's not critically acclaimed enough. At least Xbox is releasing new IPs. Something I hear Xbox doesn't do enough, but when they do and they are good, no one has nothing to say now. Goal post changing always seems to happen. Wonder why.
