What I would do as the new #XBOX CEO:

1. Don't sell, don't work: sales first, accolades second.
2. No hardware: Xbox is a publisher. #GamePass coming to #PlayStation.
3. Day-One Everywhere: maximize cash flow, everywhere.
4. Mobile+Cloud first: All franchises require a mobile version, leverage cloud features.
5. By physical: All games sell online, except collector editions.

If it dies, it dies with the boots on.

Also, I don't believe #AshaSharma promise of "exclusivity". There is zero exclusive games in #XBOX.

The moment it's available on your hardware platform and another platform, it stops being "exclusive". It becomes multi-platform, end of story.

For #HaloCampaignEvolved, #GearsOfWarEDay, it means selling copies or #GamePass subscriptions, instead of letting it gather dust on Xbox Series consoles that nobody buys.

#LukeStephens says is it is: #XBOX is an old dog with a rattlesnake bite.

That dog can be saved by doing something crazy, or letting grandpa take him to the backyard for good.

Remember, this has a genesis: #DonMattrick, E3 2013. Everything up to this point can be tracked to that fateful moment. #AshaSharma is just the next reaper in line.

This is how the "XBOX Big Reset" will pan out:

1. Cut cost, subsidies and layoffs (July)
2. Push the #XboxSeriesS as the cheapest way to play #GTAVI (unless they're dumb).
3. Keep doing Xbox-PC "exclusives".
4. Launch the Xbox 720 at $799, just below the PlayStation 6 at $999.
5. People will buy the PS6 anyway and the brand will finally rest in peace.

«More exclusives when the business is healthy»

In other words, #GearsOfWarEDay and #ClockworkRevolution are going to #PlayStation5 in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

That "business is healthy" shit... no dawg. It's not healthy today and won't be tomorrow with the RAMpocalypse.

A #Switch2 is still my recommendation today.

You know what would be outrageous?

The next #XBOX console (#ProjectHelix) being sold at $399 with a 24-month commitment for GamePass or brick your console.

It's an asanine idea, but it may work if the console sells for $999 as things are going now.

Personally, I would rather push the next generation console for 2029/2030.

Just a FYI. Console exclusivity obeys platform sales.

I wish all games were available everywhere, but thet truth is that platform sales fund videogames.

The #ConsoleWar of 9th generation was just "peace through strength". Next generation war may be a do-or-break one... if we survive this one.

If you ask me, I find the #NintendoSwitch exclusives more powerful than Sony in terms of volume and quality, at least this generation.

#PS5 rided on #PS4 shoulders, and their #LiveService push left them anemic: #Saros, #MarvelsWolverine and ... #CodeViolet?

#PCGamers will really miss high quality games from #Sony, but it's course correction for #PlayStation as a brand.

- Sales numbers on PC are low.
- Users aren't buying #PS5.
- Weakens the PS5 brand overall.

I'll give credit where credit is due, #AshaSharma is doing good given the constraints.

✅ Reduced #GamePass price
✅ Pushed Xbox as a brand

The problem is still constraints.

- #COD rumored absense from Game Pass will depend on how "good" the next installment is.
- #ProjectHelix depends on how good the exclusives are

My guess? Sharma knows this is the last hurrah for #Xbox and she's doind a do-or-break.

I wouldn't find funny if the #PlayStation6 gets delayed because of the #AI hardware shortage.

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #PlayStation #Sony #ConsoleWar #PS6 #AIHardwareShortage #HardwareShortage #Hardware #Consoles

I don't think #PlayStation will stop porting their games to #PC.

First, they bought a studio for ports. They're going to use the whole tachometer.

Second, investment to make PC ports is minimal.

Third, multiplayer games benefit from user base. Games like #Helldivers2 are great as multiplatform.

The defense rests, your honor.

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #PlayStation5 #PCGaming #PCGames #Computer #Computers #Consoles #ConsoleWar

Then my recommendation stands firm: buy a #PlayStation5.

Don't wait and don't think.

If you cannot afford a #PS5, a #SteamDeck is another cheap alternative.

It's a shame that no even Valve's #SteamMachine can rescue #PCGaming from dying by a thousand cuts.

Imagine selling a $700+ #SteamMachine that doesn't play #GTAVI.

It's the same with the #XboxAlly, the #PlayStation5 is the second best deal in gaming for GTA VI, being the #XboxSeriesS or #SteamDeck depending if you want to go back to Vice City or not.

Pardon me, but I doubt people have a library on Xbox, at least that's bigger than Steam, PlayStation or Nintendo.

#Xbox problem is not that their current console generation is irrelevant.

Their problem is the next one. Whatever it may be. Nobody in their fucking mind will buy it.

They'll have to compete against the #PlayStation6, the #NintendoSwitch2 and the #PC (decks, desktops and laptops), with ZERO exclusives.

Unless their next hardware cures cancer, it's game over. That's how slim are their chances in the market.

Should you buy/keep an #Xbox console?

⛔ No

Why? Because there is no point:

→ Exclusives now hit PC, PS5, Switch even
→ Console and Game Pass will keep raising their price
→ Next Xbox will be pricey
→ Most GOTY are on PS5
→ PS+ is cheaper per year
→ No guarantee Xbox won't fuck up again
