I’ll be amazed if they survive this. They could have been such great competitors with Sony this generation. Given how much Sony is stumbling their way through this gen… and that just shines a light on how much Xbox is messing up, that they can’t compete with Mr. Magoo lol

I can't say I was happy with all of the decisions Phil made, but honestly, the company has to start being in top form for me to get optimistic about this

I say, as I go play more Avowed, heh

Avowed was a great game, sadly obsidian is making great games no one is playing. Sad to hear about outer worlds.

Yea I don’t see them coming back from this. I’m an Xbox guy and my wife already agreed to let me build a PC after we heard this.

Wasn’t Xbox talking about making a high end console? Or is that going out the door with Sarah Bond?

They'll be fine. I said a few years ago when they announced the plan to buy Zenimax, that they were going to go full publisher instead of console maker.

Big money is what they are after, and big money is in software, not hardware.

Xbox gaming will survive in some form for a while, if they countinue to diminish the brand and run massive debt for AI squeezing the other divisions they may end up selling it off.

Yeah, I hopped on that boat once the ABK deal happened. That amount of money made zero sense for them to become first party only devs.

I’m more talking about here the Xbox brand surviving. I’d almost bet they transition to “Microsoft gaming” or something similar.

They’re going to “HBO Max” this 😂
