Support NeoGAF

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

During the conversation, Spencer alludes Well.....there it is. Been suggesting for a while that Microsoft is moving on to other "hardware" than consoles, but seems I got that wrong.

Despite a portion of GAF's persistence it was never in doubt in my mind. It never needed to be Ricky Bobby-d.

Kudos for posting about being wrong. Sincerely.

Cool..another box to be curbstombed by "competition"

Good. Sony needs the competition.

Y'all celebrating and supporting the downfall of Xbox is some petty shit. You are ignorant if you think it won't effect the gaming industry in a negative way.

It's not that much competition when Xbox put its games on PlayStation too. Not like the old days anyway. With the "every screen is an Xbox" approach added to the multiplatform strategy for their acquired IP, Microsoft are not making a good case for anyone to buy their console. It'll have be an expensive box for the few die hards in my mind.

Their next box will be a streaming box. With the power of the cloud

We're calling firesticks consoles now?

As long as everyone is making money and providing a good service to their customers. Creating a healthy competitive environment to ensure we are the winners then it's the best possible outcome for us all.

The big question I have. Are the current Xbox users, still happy with Xbox? I'm an XSX owner and I'm certainly not. So will Xbox retain their existing users with new hardware - will they even migrate to another Xbox. And what are Xbox going to do differently to reverse the catastrophic drop off in hardware sales? And at a time where they are looking to push harder and faster into multi platform.

why are you not happy, if I may ask?

I own a series x and series s. I am very happy. no reason to switch to PS as primary console.

I know several people who are happy with their Xbox as they mainly play the usual COD and Fortnite and their sport title of choice and have no interest in the Sony exclusive games

Xbox does this shit to themselves. It's more eye rolling than celebrating

I was happy and excited initially on launch. Especially with some of the BC program and the likes of Auto HDR. But it all fizzled out. And then just got worse and worse as time went on.

Release after release lacking quality. Halo Infinite was a disaster. A revamped UI home page with an enlargement of the 3 adverts and downgraded customisation. Occasional full screen adverts when starting up the console even though I'm on GPU. A toxic fanboi community fuelled by Xbox themselves, who would eat you alive, if ANY constructive critique expressed. A broken Quick Resume feature which causes me problems on most games that use online functionality. And no innovation at all with their next gen controller, compared to the competition. An atrociously handled brand. With mixed messages and what came across as a total disregard for those who were invested with them. Then we have the lies, the lies and more lies. Things like 30fps being an artistic choice and damage control nonsense. I found it insulting.
