The intensity of the PS3/360 era was the best Microsoft ever conjured up. Peter Moore was the person that brought excitement to their console.. even with the huge console failure rate they still pulled it off with the public acceptance. Not saying I’m a fan of him, but no other boss made it exciting.. Phil Spencer although not the worse sure has done made a mess of things. But Microsoft is good at hiring slimy businessmen.

Don Mattrick created the 'beginning of the end'.
The 360 had a strong install base in the US market, then all of a sudden the next generation, a lot of them flocked to Playstation?

Why?
- Maybe the RROD was part of it and they were sick of it and were going to jump ship anyway?
- The Price of the Xbox One compared to the PS4
- The 'Always Online' aspect of the Xbox One

I believe all 3 of the above played a part in it and it couldn't have come at a worse generation. Everyone started buying more games digitally and building their digital library. Series X was going to be a fail from the get go, because no one was going to jump ship again when they had just established a digital library on Playstation.

I believe that one single moment and decision with the Xbox One caused all this and they wouldn't be where they are if those poor decisions didn't happen.

Such a shame too, because of this, it has caused Sony to drop the ball on purpose due to the lack of competition. Why put in effort if you don't need to?

Don Matrick is the final boss of fuk ups. The guy single handedly destroyed the xbone launch then jumped ship 😂

Nobody from them was ever a "boss" there.

My favorite was Peter Moore, he had great showmanship and ushered in some top tier games. Who could forget the tattoos.

I think Don really screwed up Xbox. Phill tried to save it and kind of did then did more damage to it than Dom.

Best one was Peter Moore.

In the words of Phil Spencer.

"Powa of Da Cloud" - Nothing came out of that

"World's most powerful console. 12 teraflops of Power" - PS5 Basically trades blows with it on multiplatform games and kills it with their first party games

"We're focusing on building world class 1st party studios" - Yeah, I guess by his definition, is forking out money and buying studios.

"Xbox top selling console" - When they're selling well

"Hardware sales numbers are not important" - He downplays the importance of hardware numbers when they're not selling well.

"Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

The amount of damage control and crap this guy has sprouted throughout the years. He's literally ruining Xbox and did a lot of harm to the gaming industry with the Game Pass model.

They really need to get rid of him.

But atleast they are not black so we don't just blame DEI like we would otherwise...we will actually consider why/where they messed up like ppl and give the next one a chance

Dunno what the ranking is because I'm not disabling my ad blocker for a trash site.

Don singlehandedly almost killed xbox existence.
