I mean… That’s part of their intentional pivot right? “Everything’s an Xbox”. They’re after subscriptions to their ecosystem. Play from your tv, tablet, phone, computer with no hassle. Not saying it’s the best or right for everyone, but it’s certinly a calculated business decision rather than a side effect of discontent by users.

• 343 fucked up Halo Infinite
• Starfield was a flop
• Can't find any games under $20 any more
• Game Pass price raised
• Can get the same game on PS5/PC cheaper and in better quality

I couldn't have done it worse if I tried. Xbox is already dead, they will discontinue the Xbox console in a year or so and slowly spin down the brand.

It's already disappeared from our game shops, it's just PS5, Nintendo Switch and some PC accessories.

• hardware gets more expensive: check
• game pass gets more expensive: check
• everything is a Xbox, so you don't need this system to play Xbox games: check
• games release multi platform: check

There is not really much incentive to buy a brand new Xbox console nowadays.

20 years of incremental hardware improvements and a big middle finger to the gaming community will do that.

If you’re not going to treat your console like a console, then people looking to buy one aren’t going to buy yours.

With no successor, no backwards compatibility for next gen. Why would any new gamer opt for it!

Bye bye. I won't miss you.

yes. please. drop further.
