If they focus on TV features.

Microsoft is too smart for the console business, it seems.

>And that's a good thing.

>Here's why!

XChads are too cool to care about Xbox.

Literally all Microsoft has to do is make actual fucking exclusives for Xbox. As it stands there's no fucking reason to buy an xbox over any other console
>Ps4 exclusives: can only be played on a ps4
>Switch exclusives: can only be played on a switch
>Xbox 'exclusives': You can pick them up on pc as well, windows 10 store or steam even with some titles
Exclusives are what sell a console, and xbox has none

yes. MS just needs to either make some core games via AA into AAA or buy publishers. They want an ecosystem where everyone pays them, PC, Console, Streaming, tablets and Phones.

The most important thing is the infrastructure. If xcloud can work it could be a game changer if tied to gamespass.

It's fine because Microsoft is shifting over to a game service provider vs a console. The Windows store and the Xbox brand will eventually make their way onto other consoles, mark my words.

>(And why this isn't a bad thing!)

I doubt it. Its library goes to PC as well, which is getting easier year after year to get into at a good level.

It has no house owned exclusives that to hold hostage as a result, and even it stopped the Windows ports of the few it has, they are from saturated genre. Xbox was born of old Pentium PC hardware back then and at this point there really isn't a reason to buy it over a cheap PC.

they're revenue plummeted because they announced the scarlett. No one is going to buy a xbox when the new one is on the way.

Microsoft made more profit with Halo and Gears than Sony and Nintendo combined. Their only concern is they can't snowball to earn as much profit as they did in their glory days. No other company has profited as much as Microsoft, and that doesn't mean raw money where your profit is a small percentage, we're talking actual profit.

Consoles have never made money off of hardware, and Microsoft figured this out.

Why do they still do it? Isn't it heavily mocked now?

except they aren't? outside nintendo,those two have awful software attach rates for exclusives. Wiiu had abunch of exclusives and it didn't do jack shit,it sold less than the xboner

No. They gave up every reason anyone should ever buy their console.
If you want a Xbox game then get a PC.

These people live in a bubble and anyone who criticizes their work are incels,nazi,fascists,drumpf supporters,etc

"game journalists" write 4-5 articles a day to justify their job, so originality gets cast aside
So when bad things happen in the industry, they half-ass an attempt to appeal to the dissenting opinion

>switching to pc and an open platform is what kills MS in the end
hearty kek

>Isn't it heavily mocked now?
Where is it heavily mocked? Other than Yea Forums of course.

>red ring of death

Reminder that Microsoft owns Windows 10
MS could care less if little billy switches from xbox because he will more than likely be switching to PC anyway (can you guess what OS little billy is going to be using to play games?)
It seems MS might get rid of their consoles (they might not also but who knows what the next 5 years is gonna be like) to focus solely on PC because they have the pull of game pass now and have completely cast aside xbox live memberships into gamepass ultimate

>Then Nintendo

Nintendo can lose billions a year for the next 30 years until they need to worry

Xbox was fucked from the start with “stick with the 360” - Don Mattrick. While the 360 was amazing xbone was a disappointment.

Crackdown 3, sea of thieves and recore were so shit it went straight to Game pass.
Halo 5 was absolute shit.
Quantum break is on pc and has been for ages, it’s an ok game.
State of decay 2 was so broken it went straight to game pass. State of decay was way better.
Greats of war ultimate was dead after a few months.
Forza 3 is good if you like driving games.
Gears of war 4 was awesome but the only active game mode was war zone.

I bought a switch for the family to play together, don’t regret it, it’s a very comfy experience.

I got a PS4 for Christmas after my power brick died for my xbone. The only thing I miss about the Xbox is the elite controller and I’ve bought 3 because they only last 6 months to a year. Also miss gears but I’m not buying a new console just for gears. I’ll stick with the switch and PS4 and I’m currently building a pc.
I used to love Xbox but they went in the wrong direction and they lost a long time loyal customer.

>wanting to play morrowind on the xbox one
LOL

i'll give them my money because i don't want them to leave the market

microsoft doesnt get a cut of a pc games sales unless its on the windows 10 store
if its on steam, epic, gog, uplay, origin, battle.net or any other store microsoft doesnt earn a penny

>Windows is a one time payment or free if you just pirate it

Yes but itll take a lot of investment in game development, Microsoft should just look at making affordable gaming PCs and market them as consoles then start developing for pc.

Doesn't matter
Youre still using their OS
Still using their services
Theyre making millions of dollars a day regardless if you pirate and never buy a game on it
And theres always that one user who buys the keys full price

This is because of next gen dipshit, I said this in the last thread.

Of course it can be saved. They just don't want to save it. As soon as they weren't totally dominating, they gave up immediately and went after an alternative approach.

This, Yea Forums is so stupid.

*ahem*

it has awful latency issues. the xbox games on pc run native, not streamed

that just means xbox has better services lol

You mean via data harvisting? yeah that works as a method to earn money I suppose

They should just supply hardware to Nintendo and release all their ips on Nintendo’s console. They’ve shown they can make something that isn’t a complete piece of shit when they try, like the surface pro

Why should I give a fuck? Imagine trying to save (((corporations)))

There's just no reason to spend money on a console that doesn't have exclusives.

Sony has several exclusives this gen that did huge numbers. They clearly matter to some degree.

>microsoft doesnt get a cut of a pc games sales unless its on the windows 10 store
Yet. They can afford to play the long game. One day they'll get a cut of everything sold on the platform. That's what they're working towards.

I play xbox but you can’t be serious, most of those exclusives are shit

Why would you want to save a cancer?
