Alright so if capitalism is to blame for Xbox under performing for the past decade, then please inform us what's the reason why Sony and Nintendo are doing so well?
PS4 over 120 million consoles.
NSW over 140 million handhelds.
Seems that the industry is healthy. For some.
Excellent list. I also remember Xbox defenders claiming that MS was "saving up big games" for the Xbox One X launch, which of course never arrived (unless if you count Crackdown 3? Yikes!).
Then a couple years later, the defenders claimed that MS was "saving up big games" for the Xbox Series launch, which of course, never arrived. Xbox Series was the first console release in history to launch without a single brand new game.
NOT. ONE. NEW. GAME...
"May"? Replace the word, "may" with "will". He has undoubtedly ruined Xbox to the point of no return for millions of people, including myself.
I remember 10 years ago when people on message boards had a picture of him as their avatar, and under his image they had the word "BELIEVE", as in to believe in what Phil Spencer was going to do to make Xbox better. I knew it was ludicrous and laughable back then, and its even more so today!

I was looking forward to Scalebound. Then he canceled it and claimed that it was for the good of Xbox. Ah of course! Canceling games I want to play is good for Xbox, because LOGIC!
I kid you not, I'm currently wearing my E3 Scalebound t-shirt (bought it off ebay) as I make this post. Never forget.
Xbox was a great console.
Xbox 360 was a great console.
After that -- junk.
Controller breaks easily, too. Modern analog sticks wear out, and get drift far too soon.
He has dyslexia, he meant to type "dog".
Its part of the reason why I'm losing interest in modern games. Instead of increasing the QUALITY, they are instead increasing the QUANTITY, but the issue is that all they're doing is shoving more mediocre, boring slog, repetitive grindy trash down our throats.
A 10 hour masterpiece that doesn't get stale by the end has more replay value and is more worthy of my money, and more importantly worthy of my lifespan, than a 100 hour filler Ubi-junk game. I was a big ...
I remember when it was announced that he was leaving Tango, someone on N4G claimed that he was old and it was time for him to retire.
I couldn't help but laugh at the ignorance. Mikami (like most Japanese people), do not want to work for Microsoft, they want their games to be played by their fellow citizens, which means Switch, Playstation, and PC. But this fool couldn't comprehend that. 🤣
Was waiting for his return announcement, glad to s...
The embarrassing need for constant instant gratification.
Publishers need to be held accountable, of course, so what shall we do about that? BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY RIGHT NOW! Problem solved! Congrats.
Or, perhaps, not buy everything immediately? Not pre-order broken micro-trash-action filled games? I know the correct solution, but it appears that many do not.
Actually its the opposite, buying the games, and not buying the micro-trash-actions only makes things worse. Adding micro-trash-actions is trivial, doesn't take time, whether they are purchased or not doesn't affect the publisher. Whether the game is purchased or not will in fact affect the publisher.
Keep making the industry worse for everyone, including yourself. Thanks.
Very interesting, do you know the names of these adult films that Nintendo owns?
According to fans this was a let down. If you still have a CRT play the Saturn English fan translation, its the best way to play. The developers were told in advance that the visuals looked terrible for Grandia 1 'HD' and they didn't listen. They kept the awful blur filter.
Apparently Grandia 2 'HD' is good though.
Stop buying games day one. Wait weeks or even months after release, and stop being surprised when publishers do scummy business practices.
I'd like to see a reboot for the franchise, a fresh start, not clinging onto the past with the same story and characters. But I don't have any faith in Konami to do it right. I'd like to be wrong, though!
Maybe they could do both like CAPCOM has done with Resident Evil. They're doing remakes and new games simultaneously.
The founder of Limited Run Games bought the rights to the game, why would you think Nintendo would want to own this pervy visual novel? Unless if its sarcasm and I didn't pick up on it.
Lame article, he even got the title Kakuto Chojin wrong. Most of the stuff featured isn't even that bad.
The menu screen? Wow, way to go, Konami! 🙄
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
A good Stranger Things type of game, but the devs screwed themselves over by going for a Google Stadia exclusive for many years.
The game is short but worth a play, cleared it 5 times, I'd be interested if there was a physical collector's edition.
He needs to bring back Japan Studios and re-hire all that incredible talent that they lost. PlayStation needs to focus more on what made them incredible from PS1 to PS3 eras.
