So studios peel off the top layer if need be and make adjustments because that can be done within a year or so.

What are you talking about? I have no doubt that Xbox channels are going to post videos about this as well. Actually I just saw one. I hadn't watch it yet but I saw it posted already. But I clicked on this video specifically because I've realized that PlayStation centric people don't think about these other companies like Nintendo and Microsoft outside of a PlayStation context. My point being when Phil Spencer said making great games is not going to push console sales to the point where they like beat Sony. He was correct because unlike Sony and Nintendo, if Microsoft makes a really good game, you don't have to buy an Xbox console to play that good game. But if Sony makes a really good game you have to buy a PlayStation or wait a couple years if you want to play it on PC and if it's a Nintendo game. You have to buy a switch. Out of the three Xboxes, the only one that gives you an alternative platform that you can play their games on which will undoubtedly affect their console sales. So it makes it. So if starfield isn't 11 out of 10 you can just go play it on PC. Which is what Phil Spencer was talking about but people don't seem to understand that.

It's not about only having one console. Clearly there are some people who have multiple. If Xbox made quality games, they would be a part of that equation.
we still talking about "console wars" when both MS and Sony are putting all their games on PC nowadays? So, PC wins. And if were just talking about consoles, then Switch wins. I hope you dont mean Playstation, lol
*_Phil flat out admitted they have abandoned the XB as a hardware platform. it isn’t selling, and will continue not to sell. imagine investing in this ecosystem for 10 years only to be left behind for mobile and PC. RIP XB as a console moving fwd after this gen._*
Phil really needed to be a beast in this interview and it did absolutely come off as more of a "were losing, but thats also fine" sort of mentality. A couple of his admissions surprised me since it is counter to what I believe most gaming fans would agree with and that is the great games help you make more money and sell your platform. He is almost sounding like he is advocating for mediocrity and that is a SERIOUS problem. Also, I would like to know what sliver of Redfall the influencers were asked to play and how produced that section was. If the devs put a bunch of time into refining that sliver it is understandable that the influencers would walk away with an overly positive opinion. If it was over produced and refined that really sucks since its NOT indicative of the final product and made them and the influencers look f'ing stupid. Thanks for the video BG!
Phil just tanked console sales in this interview. He brought the low xbox was at to a new low. How can the head of xbox say that they can't compete by making great games? What the hell is all the complaining to Sony about let xbox compete about then? Phil has either bottomed out personally and professionally or this is a set up for some plan MS has in the big.picture.
Meh I thought it was the usual PR interview to hype up the upcoming showcase. He didn't expected that Redfall would bomb like that. Props to him for not cancelling the interview tho
Xbox as a whole is a joke since 2013 just look at the amount of canceled games in XBO era Xbox fans not fanboys have all of their fate in Starfield even if it's good even if it's 10/10 20/10 100/10 it won't save Xbox and the fanboys are blind and living in an illusion that xbox will be better then sony in the next year or the year after or the after
Phil is so out of touch. That’s the point. Get people to buy your console and into your service. People don’t have to ditch their ps or switch to get into Xbox. People can own more than one console. Xbox should start with releasing great games. That’s it.
Really great takes on this man. I feel like as one of the top gaming giants that Xbox-Bethesda currently is, they really need to be focused on setting a standard with their releases of bottoming out towards 75-80 minimum critical scores. You can't be this experienced and profitable and just accept below average standards from your partnered developers. The creativity aspect is perfectly fine to promote but the problem being dodged is releasing games that are fundamentally broken and lacking which is something that should never come out of a AAA studio, ever. We've all been too forgiving on that as a community and Phil's attitude towards the disappointment shows his lack of accountability. Executive heads make way too much money to not be held at the knife so to speak. A fire needs to be lit.
Idk why people say Xbox was competitive during the 360 era. They’ve been leaning on the same 3 games for the past 15 years. Why are people surprised…. Phil being direct is the best thing that could happen to fans who are perplexed as to where all the games are
The 360 had more exclusives then just halo gears forza. Also that was a time they didn't try forcing kinect or other bs like drm. It felt like a gaming console trying to compete with playstation, rather than a console willingly accepting defeat from playstation.
Bro when these influencers get paid by money 💰 they’re like yes people and they’re not going to be honest because they’re afraid of losing their money. This is why I love to keep it real just like you man. They don’t want to hire the people like us creators because they know we won’t go for the bull crap
His statement is incredibly shocking, I cannot imagine any Xbox fan being happy with that. It is enough to get fired or at least a sign that he is resigning soon tbh
Microsoft wants to have a monopoly on games the way they have a monopoly on OS's. They don't want you using anything else at all. If they can't have everything they don't care
I don’t believe what Phil said about great games (11/10) not bringing in people. I literally bought a WiiU just for Super Smash Brother. Nothing else, and I know I’m not the only person who buys system just for 1 game
Been saying this. At $200 for the x (with the expectation of a full priced gamepass purchase), I and most people would pay that just to play forza, gears, and Halo.
He did not say they don't have the desire to compete with PlayStation and Nintendo he said no matter what they do it'll never be enough to beat them he even said that star field scored 11 out of 10 people would not be selling their PS5 to buy Xbox
Going to respond to myself with one thing quick Colt Eastwood at the studios are running 1080p 60 medium settings and that the PCS look like store bought cheap computers not high and Riggs as your ranting about
SUREEE, but at the same time, that’s a goddamn copout because if you LEGITIMATELY IMPRESS THE HARDCORE with QUALITY RELEASES, they will go out and BUY YOUR CONSOLE to go ALONGSIDE the ones THEY ALREADY HAVE. So, no-I don’t necessarily AGREE WITH THAT sentiment. I would LOVE TO FIND A COMPELLING REASON to go invest in an Xbox (like I did with OG Xbox to go alongside my PS2 in the 6th generation and then I had the PS3 AND THE 360 in the 7th gen) BUT THEY JUST AREN’T GIVING ME ONE.
When someone like Phil Spencer has this kind of mentality (considering he's _only_ the CEO of Xbox), it shouldn't be surprised we keep seeing Xbox the way it is now. Trying to throw money at buying developers and not doing much with it, and then trying to do again... 🤦♂ Honestly, Xbox should leave the console market and just focusing on GamePass since that seems to be where they are putting more attention and resources towards anyway. Loser mentality sounds about right. He sounds like he's given up and he's not driven to innovate. Maybe it's time for a new CEO. 18:11 Phil Harrison? 🤔😏
Xbox needs people like Seamus Blackley, J Allard, and/or Peter Moore back in charge. Hell, the Xbox One had a better exclusive release lineup under Don Mattrick than it's ever had under Phil. Sadly telling. Mattrick also bothered to market those exclusives. Something that MS can't seem to do with top releases any longer (High On Life and Hi-Fi Rush were two games that had "sleeper hit" written all over them, yet were ignored so far as marketing).
Phil definitely needs to step down. Nice guy but he’s done nothing for xbox. They need someone with balls. That’ll take action and isn’t scare of Sony.
Don't forget. Phil Spencer cancelled Scalebound. Redfall was a game that had to be cancelled or production had to be started from scratch. Phil's judgement on quality games are trash.
Bro he literally said "we cant just make good games and expect to sell more consoles" like W in the actual F why would you put out bad games like are you kidding me. Loser mentality is spot on and as an avid xbox loyalist since its inception this was a slap in the face. "Next Gen" and you dont drop a single exclusive in all of 2022 and your first hugely promoted triple A console exclusive at a $70 price point and you give an interview where you not even owning up to fucking up. He needs to go, and a major shake up is needed this is completely unaccepatble.............MY XBOX IS ABOUT TO BE MY EX-BOX
I always love when people take this shit so seriously. It’s a video game console. Y’all in the comments are funny as fuck. Take everything so personal.
Out-consoling them is exactly what they should be actively trying to do. Especially since the Xbox is the only console on par with the PlayStation spec wise, they should be competing.
😂 no fire = no desire or purpose toward what you're doing. Phil needs to shape up, stop playing the victim while they're buying large companies left and right. Still can produce the games that the fans want.
There was A LOT of QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS in that Phil Spencer interview. I give him SOME PROPS for being THAT CANDID, but at the same time: - as the head of a product division, you NEVER ADMIT that YOU ARE CONTENT to ship finished products that are gonna be RECEIVED as “mediocre” - you looked at your internal reviews/metrics and THOUGHT Redfall was in “acceptable enough” condition to RELEASE - you lowkey admit DEFEAT in the face of EVER competing with your immediate competitors, PlayStation and Nintendo, by saying that you’re NOT even TRYING TO “out-console them” anymore - the man HAS TO BE SICK OF going on these “apology tours” with like EVERY OTHER FIRST-PARTY XBOX RELEASE; like at some point, YOU’VE GOT TO BE FEELING SOME TYPE OF SHAME Ultimately, this interview was INCREDIBLY INTERESTING but it seems like it was him MERELY waving the white flag. I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED to find that he’s NO LONGER IN HIS POSITION at this exact point NEXT YEAR.
This has to be the worst interview by the cosole head of all time😂 He basically admitted Xbox this week, They will never catch up the Sony and Nintendo he expected Redfall to do better😮. He was speaking in fast mode like a auctions salesman 😅 he's definitely gonna get fired
While I respect your opinion on judging Mr. Spencer, I disagree with "he needs to shut up". He's a human being like all of us and shares the same feelings that we should all have - "I'd rather be myself and be hated for it, then be what everyone else wants and hate myself"
"While it's true that we need to be more competitive, it's important to strike a balance. Unfortunately, some influencers have had a negative impact on the overall atmosphere. Nonetheless, given the recent acquisition and developments related to Xbox, I still believe it's important to maintain a third-person perspective."
He wasn't saying he didn't have a fire to compete, he was saying it wasn't going to beat them at their own game. The whole shift to Game Pass is because they know that's where they have a chance to win. 10-15 years from now, when all content is subscription and cloud, and consoles aren't a thing any more, Microsoft could be well ahead of everyone. That's *if* their strategy works -- they're looking at Netflix vs theaters and Spotify vs iTunes and trying to do the same thing. They they don't pull it of, they have no plan B though. That's how an executive who's just been reamed out by his CEO talks. Says the buck stop with him, admits all of the problems, and points to the work they're doing to make things better in the future. It's also how a man who was just scolded by his wife talks too though.🤣
The 360 was the only console that was on par with or slightly below the ps3. Ever since then, the xbox has been getting crushed. Like you said bg, they need that same drive that made us feel xbox was actually trying to be the best gaming platform. Their current management is laughable.
I apologize to the IGN guy who played Red Fall... I though he just sucks at playing but the problem is actually the game. Won't forget how ColtEastWood hyped Red Fall and always putting XBOX EXCLUSIVE! GAMEPASS! like bruh.
Stealth drop is a double edge sword. A lot has to do with the type of game it is and HIFI as good as it was, was a niche title. Not everyone cares for a rhythm based title. It definitely didn't entice me, figure I am not the only one out there that feels that way.
Yea, the game looked cool, no doubt, but it’s like a nice APPETIZER you get while waiting for the main course(s). But the fans of that platform have been SO STARVED that they were literally propping up this 5-10 hour “short but sweet” game with fairly simple gameplay mechanics as GOTY
Game Pass shouldn't be treated like, Netflix. And quality control should be a priority! And, publishers/developers need to get rid of this "we'll fix it later" mentality. Publishers and developers should ALWAYS have the mindset of making a quality, final build, when releasing to the market. Phil doesnt have the competitive mentality, thus quality in games doesnt matter as much to him. Games sell consoles. Consoles dont sell themselves. You gotta have the quality games and thats why Nintendo and Sony are killing them.

@@JonBlack413 understandable that’s why I mentioned regardless what sales say, and I still stand by what I said that because even today those games I mentioned is still played. I can’t speak for those ps3 games because they weren’t remastered for the new gen.
Don’t be sorry, be better.
After the ps showcase its impossible to not do better than ps. 😂
"Great games don't matter"
Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox
By the way fuck kinda funny, just wanted to put that out there
It's not about only having one console. Clearly there are some people who have multiple. If Xbox made quality games, they would be a part of that equation.
They would still 99% not top Playstation or Nintendo on console sales
It’s clear who won the console wars after all these years
we still talking about "console wars" when both MS and Sony are putting all their games on PC nowadays? So, PC wins. And if were just talking about consoles, then Switch wins. I hope you dont mean Playstation, lol
@@Neldog13 all their games? Lmao Sony only has like 5 of their games in PC bud
@@Eddycut facts lol
@@Eddycut they literally gonna release all there live service games on pc and SP games year or so later
@@Turkboyz20 oh yeah and where's Bloodborne then? Lmao you pc chodes have been begging for that game on PC and still nothing
*_Phil flat out admitted they have abandoned the XB as a hardware platform. it isn’t selling, and will continue not to sell. imagine investing in this ecosystem for 10 years only to be left behind for mobile and PC. RIP XB as a console moving fwd after this gen._*
BG you're a total sony shill but I 100% agree with you. Loser mentality. And the dude sitting on billions of dollars
man that interview was very soft, them talking about how games are not the main focus for xbox is rough
Xbox is literally a sinking ship
Phil really needed to be a beast in this interview and it did absolutely come off as more of a "were losing, but thats also fine" sort of mentality. A couple of his admissions surprised me since it is counter to what I believe most gaming fans would agree with and that is the great games help you make more money and sell your platform. He is almost sounding like he is advocating for mediocrity and that is a SERIOUS problem.
Also, I would like to know what sliver of Redfall the influencers were asked to play and how produced that section was. If the devs put a bunch of time into refining that sliver it is understandable that the influencers would walk away with an overly positive opinion. If it was over produced and refined that really sucks since its NOT indicative of the final product and made them and the influencers look f'ing stupid. Thanks for the video BG!
He attempted but sadly failed...we need a new person in charge.
Phil just tanked console sales in this interview. He brought the low xbox was at to a new low. How can the head of xbox say that they can't compete by making great games? What the hell is all the complaining to Sony about let xbox compete about then? Phil has either bottomed out personally and professionally or this is a set up for some plan MS has in the big.picture.
People will buy Nintendo switches just to play a few exclusives, so if Xbox started releasing amazing games I do think their sales would go up a lot.
Exactly. Big red flags
Bro said we are not in competition with Sony and Nintendo…this negative has lost it lol
Negro* lol don’t correct me UA-cam 💀
Meh I thought it was the usual PR interview to hype up the upcoming showcase. He didn't expected that Redfall would bomb like that. Props to him for not cancelling the interview tho
Phil telling the Xbox fanbase to not be too much excited for the showcase was hilarious.
Wait he said that?
@@TKaz10 Pretty much, yeah.
@@venomfuryx3250 no he didn’t dumb ass
Phil spencer being a joke since 2013 lmao
Xbox as a whole is a joke since 2013 just look at the amount of canceled games in XBO era Xbox fans not fanboys have all of their fate in Starfield even if it's good even if it's 10/10 20/10 100/10 it won't save Xbox and the fanboys are blind and living in an illusion that xbox will be better then sony in the next year or the year after or the after

Lmao throw salt on an open wound 😭😭😭
Phil is so out of touch. That’s the point. Get people to buy your console and into your service. People don’t have to ditch their ps or switch to get into Xbox. People can own more than one console. Xbox should start with releasing great games. That’s it.
That part.
I disagree
I loved that he answered everything, but he basically said f it , we can't catch up
Not in the style of Sony or Nintendo.
Really great takes on this man. I feel like as one of the top gaming giants that Xbox-Bethesda currently is, they really need to be focused on setting a standard with their releases of bottoming out towards 75-80 minimum critical scores. You can't be this experienced and profitable and just accept below average standards from your partnered developers. The creativity aspect is perfectly fine to promote but the problem being dodged is releasing games that are fundamentally broken and lacking which is something that should never come out of a AAA studio, ever. We've all been too forgiving on that as a community and Phil's attitude towards the disappointment shows his lack of accountability. Executive heads make way too much money to not be held at the knife so to speak. A fire needs to be lit.
Idk why people say Xbox was competitive during the 360 era. They’ve been leaning on the same 3 games for the past 15 years. Why are people surprised…. Phil being direct is the best thing that could happen to fans who are perplexed as to where all the games are
I rather him being real so I know exactly why I’m using this box as a coffee table
You haven’t actually looked into the 360’s library if you believe that.
The 360 had more exclusives then just halo gears forza. Also that was a time they didn't try forcing kinect or other bs like drm. It felt like a gaming console trying to compete with playstation, rather than a console willingly accepting defeat from playstation.
@@KnucklesWTD and few if any of those have moved consoles like halo and gears.
@@alexplummer6397 Most PS3 exclusives didn’t move consoles either. Especially during the first half of the generation.
Age 2 is a certified hood classic
Bro when these influencers get paid by money 💰 they’re like yes people and they’re not going to be honest because they’re afraid of losing their money. This is why I love to keep it real just like you man. They don’t want to hire the people like us creators because they know we won’t go for the bull crap
His statement is incredibly shocking, I cannot imagine any Xbox fan being happy with that. It is enough to get fired or at least a sign that he is resigning soon tbh
This thumbnail is hilarious lol
Microsoft wants to have a monopoly on games the way they have a monopoly on OS's. They don't want you using anything else at all. If they can't have everything they don't care
I’m concerned that Xbox lack of effort wil eventually make Sony lazy…
I feel like that too. They're focusing on TV shows, movies, and PSVR at the moment.
It is starting to.
This has already happened. It’s why there’s been no new announcements for example and Spider-Man 2 is all they have first party wise this year.
Some of this interview sounds like what a man would say when he's about to lose his job.
I don’t believe what Phil said about great games (11/10) not bringing in people. I literally bought a WiiU just for Super Smash Brother. Nothing else, and I know I’m not the only person who buys system just for 1 game
Been saying this. At $200 for the x (with the expectation of a full priced gamepass purchase), I and most people would pay that just to play forza, gears, and Halo.
i stay with sony because games i love and not leaving sony no time soon

He did not say they don't have the desire to compete with PlayStation and Nintendo he said no matter what they do it'll never be enough to beat them he even said that star field scored 11 out of 10 people would not be selling their PS5 to buy Xbox
Going to respond to myself with one thing quick Colt Eastwood at the studios are running 1080p 60 medium settings and that the PCS look like store bought cheap computers not high and Riggs as your ranting about
SUREEE, but at the same time, that’s a goddamn copout because if you LEGITIMATELY IMPRESS THE HARDCORE with QUALITY RELEASES, they will go out and BUY YOUR CONSOLE to go ALONGSIDE the ones THEY ALREADY HAVE.
So, no-I don’t necessarily AGREE WITH THAT sentiment. I would LOVE TO FIND A COMPELLING REASON to go invest in an Xbox (like I did with OG Xbox to go alongside my PS2 in the 6th generation and then I had the PS3 AND THE 360 in the 7th gen) BUT THEY JUST AREN’T GIVING ME ONE.
@Jay Thomas that's fine but his context was console market share not just add a few to sony players
Phil sounds worn out. I think its time to get some new blood in there to replace him.
You dont spend upwards of $80B to not compete. They definitely want to compete but they're doing it in the wrong way.
Phil spencer is trolling the Sony fan boys 😂
This was the video I was waiting on
Phil Spencer sounds like a tired beat up man who’s ready to give up
Imagine thinking any corporate America of anything cares about us or the actual product.
Sony supported and funded Death Stranding. One reviewer gave Redfall a higher score than Horizon Forbidden West LoL
lmao!!! "fire all of em!!" 😂🤣🤣🤣
When someone like Phil Spencer has this kind of mentality (considering he's _only_ the CEO of Xbox), it shouldn't be surprised we keep seeing Xbox the way it is now. Trying to throw money at buying developers and not doing much with it, and then trying to do again... 🤦♂
Honestly, Xbox should leave the console market and just focusing on GamePass since that seems to be where they are putting more attention and resources towards anyway.
Loser mentality sounds about right. He sounds like he's given up and he's not driven to innovate. Maybe it's time for a new CEO.
18:11 Phil Harrison? 🤔😏
Xbox needs people like Seamus Blackley, J Allard, and/or Peter Moore back in charge.
Hell, the Xbox One had a better exclusive release lineup under Don Mattrick than it's ever had under Phil. Sadly telling.
Mattrick also bothered to market those exclusives. Something that MS can't seem to do with top releases any longer (High On Life and Hi-Fi Rush were two games that had "sleeper hit" written all over them, yet were ignored so far as marketing).
I wanted them to have activision but now I want them to leave that and use all that money to invest in the studios they have
Bond somewhere rubbing his hands manically thinking about the video he's going to post.
Phil definitely needs to step down. Nice guy but he’s done nothing for xbox. They need someone with balls. That’ll take action and isn’t scare of Sony.
Xbox simply has no games it's a Netflix machine
Don't forget. Phil Spencer cancelled Scalebound. Redfall was a game that had to be cancelled or production had to be started from scratch. Phil's judgement on quality games are trash.
half the s*** you said I agreed with you. The other half was your PlayStation fanboy seasoning added on top of some s***😂😂😂
Bro he literally said "we cant just make good games and expect to sell more consoles" like W in the actual F why would you put out bad games like are you kidding me. Loser mentality is spot on and as an avid xbox loyalist since its inception this was a slap in the face. "Next Gen" and you dont drop a single exclusive in all of 2022 and your first hugely promoted triple A console exclusive at a $70 price point and you give an interview where you not even owning up to fucking up. He needs to go, and a major shake up is needed this is completely unaccepatble.............MY XBOX IS ABOUT TO BE MY EX-BOX
Kidsmoove better show up this Sunday lmao 🤣
Damn has anyone checked on smoove recently 😂
I always love when people take this shit so seriously. It’s a video game console. Y’all in the comments are funny as fuck. Take everything so personal.
I honestly think the influencers played a modified version of the game, to trick the consumer into buying trash
Thats the only possible excuse
Out-consoling them is exactly what they should be actively trying to do. Especially since the Xbox is the only console on par with the PlayStation spec wise, they should be competing.
😂 no fire = no desire or purpose toward what you're doing. Phil needs to shape up, stop playing the victim while they're buying large companies left and right. Still can produce the games that the fans want.
Crazy if in any other job boss said this they'll be fired or asked to step down
How many times have we heard this exact same thing?
Bond finna have a field day with this shit
Console war been over! I was just waiting for the clock to run out 😂
I think the video was the bat signal for the 360 team to come back help them
Phils gone senial time for a new face
There was A LOT of QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS in that Phil Spencer interview. I give him SOME PROPS for being THAT CANDID, but at the same time:
- as the head of a product division, you NEVER ADMIT that YOU ARE CONTENT to ship finished products that are gonna be RECEIVED as “mediocre”
- you looked at your internal reviews/metrics and THOUGHT Redfall was in “acceptable enough” condition to RELEASE
- you lowkey admit DEFEAT in the face of EVER competing with your immediate competitors, PlayStation and Nintendo, by saying that you’re NOT even TRYING TO “out-console them” anymore
- the man HAS TO BE SICK OF going on these “apology tours” with like EVERY OTHER FIRST-PARTY XBOX RELEASE; like at some point, YOU’VE GOT TO BE FEELING SOME TYPE OF SHAME
Ultimately, this interview was INCREDIBLY INTERESTING but it seems like it was him MERELY waving the white flag. I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED to find that he’s NO LONGER IN HIS POSITION at this exact point NEXT YEAR.
Phil was just being humble man..
This has to be the worst interview by the cosole head of all time😂 He basically admitted Xbox this week, They will never catch up the Sony and Nintendo he expected Redfall to do better😮. He was speaking in fast mode like a auctions salesman 😅 he's definitely gonna get fired
While I respect your opinion on judging Mr. Spencer, I disagree with "he needs to shut up".
He's a human being like all of us and shares the same feelings that we should all have - "I'd rather be myself and be hated for it, then be what everyone else wants and hate myself"
Phil must don’t know people have multiple consoles lol
When the game ratings are low, that means there will be no sequel... 💯
Go home Phil and in the way to the door take this L with you.
well said, all of that. frustrating to hear him accept defeat at times and overall seems similar to a lot of how he's 'answered' questions before.
You can give a studio creative freedom and still manage quality and production schedule. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
"While it's true that we need to be more competitive, it's important to strike a balance. Unfortunately, some influencers have had a negative impact on the overall atmosphere. Nonetheless, given the recent acquisition and developments related to Xbox, I still believe it's important to maintain a third-person perspective."
He wasn't saying he didn't have a fire to compete, he was saying it wasn't going to beat them at their own game. The whole shift to Game Pass is because they know that's where they have a chance to win. 10-15 years from now, when all content is subscription and cloud, and consoles aren't a thing any more, Microsoft could be well ahead of everyone. That's *if* their strategy works -- they're looking at Netflix vs theaters and Spotify vs iTunes and trying to do the same thing. They they don't pull it of, they have no plan B though.
That's how an executive who's just been reamed out by his CEO talks. Says the buck stop with him, admits all of the problems, and points to the work they're doing to make things better in the future. It's also how a man who was just scolded by his wife talks too though.🤣
U cld tell BG loved saying bitchmade 😂. U can tell he thinks hes a "great guy loves him to death"😂😂 keep it up, i loved this video 2 death!
The 360 was the only console that was on par with or slightly below the ps3. Ever since then, the xbox has been getting crushed. Like you said bg, they need that same drive that made us feel xbox was actually trying to be the best gaming platform. Their current management is laughable.
THATS FINE IM DONE!!!!!IM SELLING MY SERIES X I OVERPAID FOR MOVING ON TO PC LIKE AN ADULT
I mean, it's the same rhetoric every time it's not surprising. 😂
I apologize to the IGN guy who played Red Fall... I though he just sucks at playing but the problem is actually the game.
Won't forget how ColtEastWood hyped Red Fall and always putting XBOX EXCLUSIVE! GAMEPASS! like bruh.
Stealth drop is a double edge sword. A lot has to do with the type of game it is and HIFI as good as it was, was a niche title. Not everyone cares for a rhythm based title. It definitely didn't entice me, figure I am not the only one out there that feels that way.
Yea, the game looked cool, no doubt, but it’s like a nice APPETIZER you get while waiting for the main course(s).
But the fans of that platform have been SO STARVED that they were literally propping up this 5-10 hour “short but sweet” game with fairly simple gameplay mechanics as GOTY
As Xbox fan i respect your mentality here you didn't speak fanboy s*** you just said what you think
Xcuse BOX SERIES FAILS:
POWER YOUR MEDIOCRTY.
It's just sad.
Game Pass shouldn't be treated like, Netflix. And quality control should be a priority!
And, publishers/developers need to get rid of this "we'll fix it later" mentality.
Publishers and developers should ALWAYS have the mindset of making a quality, final build, when releasing to the market.
Phil doesnt have the competitive mentality, thus quality in games doesnt matter as much to him.
Games sell consoles. Consoles dont sell themselves. You gotta have the quality games and thats why Nintendo and Sony are killing them.
I’ll see y’all niggaZ Sunday 😂😂😂
