In any situation, the diehard fans who accept everything, make excuses for everything and go around behaving like paid PR/marketing drones are their own worst enemy and they don't even realise it. Change happens when the biggest fans demand it. When sports teams do badly, the fans demand change from the team, the manager, the board, etc, they don't pop off and attack their rivals while allowing their own team to take them for a ride and get away with murder. It's lunacy.
With years of experience in hating plastic toys and games they are not interested in.
This bit right here...... Sums up this guy perfectly⬇
Been on this train since the last couple years of the 360. They went downhill and never recovered. The people they put in charge of this division are just not treating it properly.
How they got so much right in the first Xbox generation against the PS2 and then the early 360 generation against the PS3 remains a mystery after watching them trip all over themselves ever since.
They were young and hungry, filled to the brim with enthusiasts. It’s just turned ultra corporate, with suits that are focusing on the bottom instead of it being a passion project. It’s obvious to enthusiasts like us.Been on this train since the last couple years of the 360. They went downhill and never recovered.

Because he can’t be passionate about his hobby? Common now.Or you could just move/get on with your life.

So they are delaying one game? Big deal. Plenty of games have been delayed this year alone, big ones too. The value proposition for XSX is still there, play the best console versions of popular games on the most powerful console.
COD, FIFA, NHL, Cyberpunk, etc. are going to be the games that sell the most. And XSX will play those better than any other console.
Just buy the best machine you can afford. You really shouldn't be emotionally invested in some fucking brand, it's nuts.
Yeah, because you guys don't care. Just as long as the box you chose still exists that's good enough for you. There could literally be no games on the console besides Teletubbies and Madden and you guys would still be happy.We don’t need to...we have an army of Sony fanboys doing it for us
No idea where this „no Series X exclusive game“ sentiment comes from. They absolutely have exclusive launch titles, like that Tetris game, as evident by their November launch article.While I welcome the news that Infinite has been delayed because it clearly needs more time, As of now MS have no system sellers for when the console launch. They need to back track on "no Series X exclusive game for 2 years" and statement if they want to compete against Sony this coming Christmas.
They need proper exclusives. Only available on that console. Not that watered down bollocks where it can be played on PC or timed exclusive.
In the meantime MS is running with a quantity over quality approach as they care more about filling GP then selling their new Xbox.
Corona virus happened. Everything is being affected. I cant be mad a them for delaying it.
Yes yes I finally get it!!! Xbox good and Sony bad!!! I made up this what if scenario in my head but guiz I swear it would but what to it happen!!!You guys need to just be happy Xbox exists and stop complaining. Without it PlayStation would be more expensive. The games would be more expensive and they would stay more expensive for longer. The hardware would also probably be shittier and the amount of games would be less. You think Sony does these things to be nice? No, it's because there is currently another option.
I can’t blame them for delaying it, but I think it goes much deeper than the Corona. TLOU2, Ghosts of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal, Nioh 2, Streets of Rage 4, FF7: Remake, Death Stranding(PC), Granblue, Doom Eternal, RE3 to name a few came out this year without too many problems to my knowledge.
No, that's how capitalism works. It's not a good vs bad. Corporations exist to make money and that's it. Just look at Nintendo. They have zero competition and everything of theirs is over priced and stays that way for years.Yes yes I finally get it!!! Xbox good and Sony bad!!! I made up this what if scenario in my head but guiz I swear it would but what to it happen!!!

To the point. Defending a company when it makes mistakes will NOT result in better decisions in the future. On the contrary.You need to be grilling them to no end, these constant mistakes and the never ending buffoonery needs to sink in as being totally unacceptable. Don't think they're reading this stuff right now? You bet your ass they are, and I have no doubt a lot of people are getting reemed as what's being said on these forum is being rattled off in Zoom meetings.
Don't praise them for delaying a game, because they should have had the foresight as a multi-billion dollar division of a near multi-trillion dollar business to have a contingency plan in place to account for the potential of Halo not making the launch window.. Their incompetence has further harmed the brand, they further put at risk game deals for you, content, sales which lead to more investment and so on and so forth. If you can't even be confident in a brand you have invested in then how is anyone else supposed to be? Do you think publishers and developers are really going to want to do deals with them now?
They're in tatters, this is worse mismanagement than what took place at Sega and killed them... Sega was still putting out awesome games even as they were nearly bankrupt and being driven into the grave, and you want me to thank these rich executives and studio heads who can't even get one game lined up for their next-gen console? Do you have any idea how asinine that is?
All of you know I'm all about them, it's no secret that I bleed green and I practically have a shrine for them. With that being said though enough is enough, we are the last vestige of hope for them. We are their consumers, we are the ones who have the capability to hold them accountable, and many of you think the answer is to be in denial and act like they're doing us a favor?
Come on, it's been years.... This was supposed to be when Phil was supposed to shine, when we were going to have our coming back moment, and it's all been dashed away because they couldn't be bothered to come prepared with literally years to do so... I think I'm more disappointed in a lot of you than them, the excuses are intolerable.

They don't need to win to be a viable option and stay in existence. If you actually care about value Xbox is way ahead of PS. Not everyone has time/money to play every game worth playing every year and is happy with a few game purchases a year. Gamepass is fantastic value and if you can only afford 2 games a year why not get gamepass and have 200 instead. Just because they are not doing what Sony is doesn't mean it's wrong.The thing, I’m insinuating that XBox fans want XBOX to continue to exist and be competent competition to Sony or a choice to make the industry healthier. With the mistakes they are making, it seems like they are being more detrimental than beneficial to the XBOX already tarnished brand. Gamers have the right to demand better especially when their hard earned money is concerned. When Sony and Nintendo are dominating the industry, Microsoft can’t afford to get complacent if they won’t to stay relevant.
The point at which it is only about "screaming fanboys" has long been passed. But turning a blind eye to it is part of the problem. Obviously far too many are still "satisfied" - but in truth they haven't been for a long time, but believe that if they defend Microsoft with all their might, then everything will be fine. But that's not how it works.On the other hand, listening to screaming fanboys of the rival console on a gaming forum will definitely also not result in better decisions.

When Sony fanboys are saying Xbox has no games, they don't literally mean it has no games at all. Of course the Xone has had plenty of exclusives, it's just games like Crackdown 3, Bleed Edge, Minecraft Dungeons, Recore, State of Decay 2 etc. aren't anything to brag about. Now, if you look at the top 10 best selling games on ps4, almost half of them are critically acclaimed 1st party exclusives.On one hand people scream "NO GAMES LOL" and on the other hand people yell "QUANTITY OVER QUALITY LOL". I got a feeling that no matter what they showed, the exact same people would still not be satisfied.

I do think that a focus on quantity doesn't necessarily mean bad quality, and I am enjoying the hell out of the smaller titles on GP like Ori, Gears Tactics, Grounded. However, if we're talking about buying a next gen console, I'm sure any Xbox fan would want to see some new AAA exclusive 3rd person exclusives of the same quality and critical acclaim we're seeing on Sony's platform. I mean aren't we hoping that Hell Blade 2 and the Medium will fit into that category?
I agree with Cop
If im a xbox fans il be upset at their current state
Xbox focus too much on gamepass
The halo infinite reaction tells you all you need
If you sincerely believe that then your'e very disconnected to how the industry works and games are made. Companies don't keep AAA games in their back pocket as contingencies.because they should have had the foresight as a multi-billion dollar division of a near multi-trillion dollar business to have a contingency plan in place to account for the potential of Halo not making the launch window
They are not in tatters. I assume that's in reference to your perception of xbox as in, now you like them less. But in terms of their business with regards to Xbox, they are doing very well even with half the consoles sold of the competition.They're in tatters, this is worse mismanagement than what took place at Sega and killed them
How about NONE of them going down, and we all just try and get on and enjoy gaming for once.Way past caring about corporations. They don't give a shit about you, why you should you care about them?
If Xbox goes down so be it. Same for Sony and Nintendo.

I mean all them games you mentioned were already baked already. They just needed to ship them. Halo infinite seems to me just wasnt cooked yet and rona caught them sleeping.I can’t blame them for delaying it, but I think it goes much deeper than the Corona. TLOU2, Ghosts of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal, Nioh 2, Streets of Rage 4, FF7: Remake, Death Stranding(PC), Granblue, Doom Eternal, RE3 to name a few came out this year without too many problems to my knowledge.
It is exhausting trying to be positive about Xbox on here, never thought i would see DynamiteCop crack though.
