      The definition of gluttony. My advice would be to take baby steps. They re getting ahead of themselves. Give something really solid to gamers to remember the recent gen of Xbox games. Focus all money and personnel. Smaller projects like Hifi Rush also works. But they have to choose either approach.

    i find it funny that people seems to forget that xbox:
    + Invested a lot in retrocompatibility
    + Invested and pushed Cross-play, cross-progression/cross-save. Free next gen upgrades as well
    + Invested a lot in acessibility
    + Invested a LOT in indie games with ID@Xbox
    + Xbox game pass: which is imo the best thing that happened in gaming the last decade
    + Better pricing and services

    Xbox fail video template
    1) somewhere somehow link xbox one to current day and your video somehow even when it has nothing to do with the context whatsoever. 2) mention halo and gears bcus you dont actually have anything new to add and need to pad your video. 3) disregard xbox and all their decisions as if competing against playstation was an easy feat. 4) over glorify playstation and reduce xbox achievements. 5) make sure to mention xbox one if you haven'r already. 6) place every tag on xbox and make sure to include microsoft in the discussion as if every other game company doesnt equally f over their studio or fans. 7) leave video not actually shaking the discussion around xbox and leave viewer in a state of hate against xbox. Barely trying to give any pluses since you didnt dig much of a piece to add in the 1st place

    Not relevant? Really? Then why all you see and hear from gaming media is all about xbox, game centric youtube channels talk about xbox. If xbox isn't relevant then why are people concerned about where their exclusives are going, what studios are closing, what studios they might acquire ect.. even this video contradicts your narrative. Why talk about it if it's not been relevant for a decade?! The latter part of the video is not even accurate. After doing like a history info on most part of the video, which I assume would require research, what happened to latter part? Seems you didn't even bother to check facts. All you did was inject opinions and guess work trying to pass it off as facts. Xbox is now one of the biggest publisher with big IP's, they are more relevant than ever.

Xbox consoles sales are down 30% and GamesPass is flat but trending down. Sure over all revenue is up but thats just the sales of game that came with the ABK deal. You would need 70 years of Call of Duty sales to break even.. Xbox themselves said that 130 million subscribers are needed for Gamepass to be sustainable. They at 35 million right now. If they would have spent that money on actually MAKING GAMES how could have Sony competed?

      The Zune was actually a pretty good music player, none of its features were any worse than ipod and some were better. I could easily put non-proprietary movies and music on my Zune and had a really cool custom library. Microsoft lost on software in the end. What has kept many apple devices afloat is all the people who bought into itunes well before Zune even launched. iTunes and (eventually) the massive amount of apple apps sold their devices due to ease of use for even the moat clueless user. This isn’t a bad thing, it worked. But while their devices were highly attractive (aesthetically) they weren’t that cutting edge and were the same thing repackaged for years with at the most adjusted storage capacity. This doesn’t mean everything Microsoft makes is gold either, windows phones were massive fails and the Xbox one was still a huge misfire in the wrong direction. The point is companies are not monoliths and none of this stuff was made by one person. The people in charge of departments are in a state of change over the years so a decade after a good idea all it takes is new management with bad ideas to tank a good thing.
