Let's try literally everything to save Xbox

>Let's try literally everything to save Xbox.
>Except making quality exclusives.

Why are Microsoft so fucking daft? Why don't they realize games is what sell your system? Like who the fuck even talks about the One X anymore? It just came and went.

People want games, it's the reason why the Switch is selling, it's the reason why the PS3 could recover; if you got games people can't play anywhere else people will want your system. That's the problem with Xbox One: Everything it has can be gotten elsewhere. When backwards compability to play old Xbox exclusives is one of your biggest draws you know you fucked up somewhere.

When they announced that every Xbox One exclusive would be playable on PC they basically made the whole console redudant.

Even though it wouldn't matter, xbox exclusives would be fps or action games like crackdown.

Microsoft is in the game industry only for the cash otherwise they have no real idea of what the fuck are they supposed to do.

Sincerely, 360 owner

from how well pubg has sold on the damn thing, I don't think I know what the buyers want anymore.

There was nothing wrong with the 360 besides being region locked. It was the best system for multiplats almost always.

Nobody cares about exlusives anymore.

I really like play anywhere.i don’t see why you’re concerned with console sales and why you can’t just enjoy the games they put out. It shouldn’t matter if it’s on another platform or not. But it’s cool that my son can play rocket leavue on the switch, me on my pc and my wife on the xbone. Or we can all play Minecraft together on a mixture of devices. There’s a lot of potential there and the unification of platforms is nice. PC gets more games and xbone only players have a bigger player base to mingle with. BC is pretty fantastic as well.

> i don’t see why you’re concerned with console sales and why you can’t just enjoy the games they put out.
This. Why do you care op? Just play games and have fun!

They've gotta play the long game and set up nice for next gen.

>no Kinect no gimmick shit
>exclusives on new gen release
>backward compatibility all the way
>push Xbox Netflix games. It works with normies and they are adding triple A on release.
>affordable system with rivaling graph is.
>make the console not look like a box. 360 looked sleek for its time. Elite was even better.

Just keep trying to undercut Sony till the next gen to build good PR.

Because believe it or not if consoles stop selling devs will abandon them. Some will go to pc but most will fold thus losing good games
If switch didn't sell do you really think Nintendo would put the games on other platforms? Or make them?

>Because believe it or not if consoles stop selling devs will abandon them.
This happens only with nintendo. Xbox is always getting all relevant games for 18 years now.

>Why do you care op?

Because competition is good, the more threatened companies feel by the competition the more effort they'll put in.

If you're a Sony or Nintendo fan you want Xbox to be a threat.

The Xbone is selling better than the 360 did. It just isn’t selling as well as the absolutely fantastic switch or the PS4 which was cheaper at launch. It’s doing well on its own and gets literally every multi play that comes out in addition to plenty of exclusives. I own over 200 games on my xbone alone. Not including all the ones gamepass comes with

>make the console not look like a box.
that is completely irrelevant and has no effect on how a console sells

>make the console not look like a box
i like my living room rectangles, my ps4 makes me feel like a dumbass

It's coming you European mother fucker, shut the hell up.

>make the console not look like a box. 360 looked sleek for its time. Elite was even better
yeah that was xbones problem
too boxxy

Exclusives aren't enough.

Microsoft's biggest problem is that they fucked nearly every major 3rd party company and countless movie studios over at hundreds of billions of dollars during the last gen and pretended they did nothing wrong.

Unless MS can earn back lost favor with the Xbox Line (which seems unlikely before April 20th this year) Its likely they will suffer a series of compound losses in the gaming market for years to come.

Can an Xbro help me out real quick? 2 questions

1. Does the X provide better performance in 360 games over the original/S?
2. Does Ninja Gaiden 2 play at all yet on the Xbox One?

These greatly determine whether I buy one or not. Also fuck your console war BS, you Soyny faggot. The Xbox and 360 were great.

they think the solution to every problem they have is throwing money at other devs/companies instead of using any of that money to make games besides halo, gears, and forza.

>It shouldn’t matter if it’s on another platform or not. But it’s cool that my son can play rocket leavue on the switch, me on my pc and my wife on the xbone. Or we can all play Minecraft together on a mixture of devices
minecraft switch still cant connect to xbone, yet people praise microsoft for it anyways
>crossplay is easy, devs are ready to just flip a switch

Performance is really greatly improved on even a stock S. A lot of 360 games run in close to 4k on the one x.
I said mixture of devices not on the switch. Better together isn’t out on the switch but PC, Android,IOS and Xbox can all play together.

>(which seems unlikely before April 20th this year)
what happens then?

Stop asking for exclusives, they are one of the worst cancers upon the industry and should be abandoned.

3 of the largest publishers should stop funding games on their own hardware because poor niggers can't afford more than one console

Until we as a society have a day of the rope for cryptocucks, xbonex is now the most cost effective way to play games at decent resolutions/framerates. You could buy one and a year of gold for the cost of a 1060.

You can go back to laughing at it when gpu prices stabilize, but you're not playing 4K content on PC for anything less than two grand at the moment.

The gave a clear message about putting entertainment above video-games so fuck 'em!

The best we can get out of their suicide are the few games they hold hostage behind their failing win10 store.

Video games are entertainment. It’s also the only console you can watch 10 bit anime on

We get high

>console
______lol_____
Imagine buying a blu-ray disc that only works on Sony branded blu-ray players. All games should work on pc and consoles should die.

multiplats sells more than cuckslusives. uncharted 4 sold 6 million copies in one year, monster hunter world sold 6 million in less than a month and pc version is not even out yet. Cuckborne sold 2 million in one year, witcher 3 sold 3 million on pc alone.

>pc master race buttmad he can't play exclusives, but will pretend he didn't want them anyways, despite being mad that this "cancer" stops him from playing them
if you want the games, buy the console

>STOP FUNDING GAMES REEEEEEEEEEEE

No, I'm glad Bayonetta 2 and 3 exists thank you very much.

HALO 7 8K 240FPS

>uncharted 4 sold 6 million copies in one year
8.7 million in 2016

what? the entire red ring was a thing because they wanted to make an iconic design first then put the hardware in. marketing and look is extremely important

I'm mad because the consoles hold the games back. Bloodborne is an amazing game but the frame rate literally gave me headaches and the load times are insane, neither of which would be a problem if it was on pc.

>only 8.7
*INHALES*
bruh look at dis dood

>literally gave me headaches
soyboy faggot

It's like they're catering exclusively to the "cares about power but is too stupid to build a PC" crowd. Seems pretty niche.

Bloodborne was co-developed by Japan Studios, a company owned by Sony.

If Bloodborne wasn't Sony exclusive it would either be completely different or straight up not exist at all.

buy an ssd for load-times you autist

NO LIE

YOU KNOW DIS

>2013 DRM fuckup
>convinced a good fraction of consumers to jump ship to Sony
>4 years into the 8th gen, Sony already shipping 76 million+ PS4, compared to last gen's PS3 85 million+ shipped in 8 years.
>MS on the other hand last confirmed to had shipped 35 million+ on it's fourth year since the xbone launched. 40-42 million+ is the likely estimate by early 2018.in comparison, the 360 shipped 86 million+ by it's 8th year.
>Too fucking embarrassed to share actual shipment numbers because they know they're losing
>Investors hates the xbox brand and has called for MS to just drop it

3-5 good exclusives. no PC port. that's all it would had took to convince a few million former 360 fans who went with Sony this gen, along with several million idorts. actually try to pander to the weeb audience and you'd get several million.

but nope. The xbox brand is just a side project within the MS corporate structure according to their CEO (compelo.com/xbox-net-worth/). so it's not so much as "Nobody cares about exlusives anymore". it's more "MS doesn't care about the xbox"

The problem with Xbox One X is also that devs need to fucking support it.

You can shout 4k all you fucking want but if the devs aren't going to bother patching and optimizing their games that means fucking nothing.

PS4 has SATA II, a USB 3 HDD is faster.

>oh yes daddy please make me buy a piece of shit for 3 games I've been a bad boy

Ladies and gentlemen, sony fans.

We just got Xbone X we aint getting shit for next gen anytime soon. What I dont get is why the fuck they cancel every exclusive they had been investing time into

No one is forcing you to buy it.

its all about netflix baby, microsoft store for ps4 and nintendo soon. screencap this.

I'm glad Xbox One got btfo'd this hard. With Xbox 360, you could feel like they were trying to prove themselves against Sony and Nintendo who have been in the industry for decades while they only released their first console a few years ago.
Xbox One was a huge fuck you into everyone's face who cared about the brand with that smug cunt who spent an hour talking about TV experience on stage. Fuck them seriously

Imagine if Microsoft had just left Kamiya alone and let him make the Scalebound he wanted. Would it have been a million seller? No, but it would have moved fucking console units and that is fucking important.

Instead we got Beats by Dr. Dre with tacked on online co-op or whatever the fuck. Scalebound sounded amazing conceptually and I am forever mad.

Unless you want those games. Then you are forced to buy it.

the very minute xbox lost exclusive COD and FIFA deals like early beta and dlcs I knew right that moment sony won.

>How dare companies release their own console and games for it

Because they have already shot themselves in the face by making them go to PC aswell.
This means the devs have to spend resources on the games being multiplat which means the console privilege goes out the fucking window.
Also they don't have that many talented devs under their wing so they are shit out of luck since games are not only harder to make now but also cost more and take longer.

Nintendo and Sony draw every last inch of what their machines can give them while Microsoft doesn't seem to give a single fuck.

Depending on how good your computer is faggot. Also don't forget about they cpuld have made it for pc but poorly optimised it or spent longer making it run better on pc
Most console games that run poorly are not always the case of the pc but more of a case of lazy devs or pushy publishers

this one will never fail to make me laugh

Isn't it selling relatively well? Not stellar numbers but still manahing to turn a profit.

PS3 didn't recover because of exclusives, but rather because MS went full shoe-on-head with the Kinect.

Leave those goalposts right where they were, faggot.

Your literal complaint was how youre forced to buy a console the games were released for.

>but rather because MS went full shoe-on-head with the Kinect.

?

Kinect 1 was a fucking massive success, it's what made MS design Xbox One around Kinect 2 in the first place.

Exclusives are a double edged sword in that it puts extra stress on development to put something out on multiple platforms. That said, these most recent crop of consoles seem to be doing all they can to basically be the same box with different branding so I doubt multiplatform development is as much of a headache as it used to be.

Making it on ps4*

And yours is that no one is forcing you to buy it. Except they are. You want this game, you buy this console. They're within their rights to do it, but your hand is still forced.

A ton of people bought the Kinect, yes. Almost no actual good games came for the thing, and while MS threw their back into the casual audience like Nintendo did with Wii, Sony made a passive attempt with the Move but otherwise kept on keeping on. They didn't lose their focus to motion controls, MS did in the back half of the gen. Just look at how hard they pushed Kinect when launching Xbone, they really did go 110% on that motherfucker.

>cpuld

Dumb phoneposter.

kinect rejuvenated their sales for the last 3-4 of the generation

>muh exclusives
yo jamal, no one cares about exclusives except console war mongering virginios like you.

>I'm forced to buy a ticket because I want to enter this club. bullshit

>obsidian was making exclusive RPG for microsoft

BRUH LOOK AT DAT BOX
OHNONONONONO
*INHALES*

kinect had a spike of success but failed in the long run you fucking retard.

The console equivalent to the club ticked would be the fee you pay to use your own connection. And yet again you've changed your argument from "no one's forcing you" to "you are being forced but they're allowed to do it". Not how this works. But have another epic meme and one last (You) for the road.

The backward compatibility is a huge advantage for the future though. Next gen they gonna have classic Xbox, 360, One games running. They're on the hardware now, so they really just need to wait until the next gen and release a few better exclusives

Even if SB wasn't a multi-million copy franchise, at the very at least it would had help convince some Japanese devs to try out releasing some games on the xbone, just as a few did early in the 360's lifespan.

put some effort into nurturing that relationship, offer something Sony isn't giving to japanese Developers/Publishers, and maybe they might just break big into the asian market.

>And yours is that no one is forcing you to buy it. Except they are. You want this game, you buy this console. They're within their rights to do it, but your hand is still forced.

Welcome to capitalism faggot. You're offered a product, you can either buy it or don't.

Microsoft own Halo, Nintendo owns Mario, Sony owns Bloodborne; it's their fucking games and they can do whatever they want with them. You're not entitled to video games, they're not some kind of fucking human right.

>Instead we got Beats by Dr. Dre
you are implying that's not the style platinum was going for on their own

They originally wanted a girl as the protagonist.

your entire argument is that youre FORCED to pay if you want to play it. but this is not even a fucking argument you absolute retard. there is no such thing as forced when it comes to entertainment. you want to play those games, buy the console and thats it. forced means paying taxes. paying child support if you have to. paying bills youre required to.
you cant choose an OPTIMAL entertainment and complain about how youre FORCED to pay for it. that doesnt make any fucking sense retard. thats exactly like complaining about how youre forced to pay for a ticket if you want to enter a club

>Exclusives are a double edged sword in that it puts extra stress on development to put something out on multiple platforms
what

>the word "forced" only applies when someone has a gun to the head of my wife's son

When there's only one path to your objective and you're reluctant to take it, you've been forced. Enjoy the free English lesson.

I think he means that if the competition has good exclusives it puts pressure on the others to also have good exclusives.

giving up on your objective is always an option
so is postponing it to look for another path

video games are so unimportant on a larger scale that complaining about being forced to buy x,y is entirely pointless. its not like human rights, its just an optimal entertainment form like many others.

Yeah but even the worst ports can be fixed by mods or getting better hardware, something you just can't do on a PS4.

Glad somebody understood my point on that

>Saving

This is a more accurate evaluation of the situation.
