I have to address something here. A lot of people talk about how all Xbox has is Gears, Forza, and Halo while simultaneously rooting on Nintendo for continuing to make games of franchises twice; almost three times their age. So what exactly can Microsoft learn from Nintendo?

The whole Xbox division, need to be fired. Xbox need new young blood. Those old people, don't know what gamers want.

I think Microsoft is doing ok, but they need to learn. Nintendo had to get knocked down with the Wii U before they learned. Sometimes, getting knocked down can help you rise to a bigger success. I really hope Microsoft does well, but they gotta learn from ruining great developers like Rare, Silicon Knights and Lionhead. They cannot continue to kill good studios or they will keep making the same mistakes as before, which would lead to their ruin in video games.

This is by far their worst year , Halo Wars2 in January amd crickets since

I think Nintendo learn from MS as well.
Nintendo needs to adopt ideas from MS online infrastructure.
Honestly at this point. The only criticism MS is facing is first party support. Once they do and if they do, there really isn't much to complain about from MS.

I find it funny how Sony never need to do any learning that could make them better like the person trying to make out only ms need to do it, I'd say they could all learn from each other in different ways.

I do hate articles like this that go on to make out one is a specific bad guy while praising another, it's called fanboy crap.

Switch cool but xbox take a lesson from PlayStation world wide sales leader generation after generation verse xbox since it lost to wii 2018 will be filled with exclusives and im assuming a ps5 teaser e3 2019 ps5 reveal release in 2020

'great' job lately'

Huh.

...like more local MP and SP games perhaps would be good? So many online-only games on this system it's crazy, cash grabbing over long-term quality SP/MP games imo.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

yep. they confirmed early that the crude humor the games are famous for is leaving to be more inclusive for the woke. and the rumors about the new online could make or break them.

$100 game incoming, or the most likely scenario is they will just follow Nintendo going for $80 for the base game

Can't believe anyone thinks it'll be over 70. They want as many people on it as they can to sell shark cards. The only way that happens is if they have a $100 deluxe edition with 3 days early access. Which would probably be smart for them because it'd fly off the shelves
