    14:19 I don't buy this argument whatsoever, because Xbox still has exclusives to its brand, and if their goals are to reach as much players as possible, then why not release Halo, Gears of War, Forza Horizon, and Starfield on Playstation and Switch consoles? Plus that ridiculous argument is only really applied to Sony and Microsoft; nobody complains that they can't play Super Mario or Zelda on Playstation and Xbox. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

      Sure, but then again Sony is saying the same things.
      Imagine you made $100K and got to keep $6K for investment, saving and to spend as you like. By any stretch of the imagination that is a disastrous result. That’s what Sony’s 6% margin on $10B represents. In fact, their margins have been falling significantly despite selling a lot of consoles. If you think, Sony is going to fundamentally change their business model, you’re not paying attention.
      In fact, we know they are going to change their model from their recent investments, public statements and information gleamed from the insomniac hack. They may move slower than MS with this stuff but the reality is, they also need to find more players or they have to charge their current players more.

      I assume main reason behind closing studios is covid money stopped going to consumers that irresponsibly spent it on gaming, and governments are tight for money since interest rates for debt are going up. So less irresponsible government money loans to gaming studios. When Xbox and others close studio, they don't lose existing games from that studio, only games that are in progress, and they are not lost, only delayed release. Fired employees will find other job or create new studio.

  • @Marqan

    Great video!
    Console exclusives are horrible, and ironically it's the main reason I never bought a console. Blatantly taking away customer freedom is not something I will support, and I don't know why any sane gamer would support it. Of course in a few years after that decision, it wasn't actually difficult to hold myself to it, since PC gaming was always better, and it only got even more ahead of console gaming in time.
    Xbox game pass however seems to be giving more options to gamers, as they get a lot of games without much of a commitment. I know some people don't like subscriptions, and a lot of them do suck, but Gamepass has more than enough content to get your money's worth.

    Another great video! glad to see the longer format! and impressive how it was still packed with content.
    ~~this comment is way too long but glad to engage anyway -look at me, algorithm!~~
    As a previous Playstation gamer and current PC gamer, I view Microsoft as having dropped the ball with their naming scheme; 1, then X & S ? Who knows what those are? 😅 Especially when Sony gives you 5, bigger number better!
    Plus having the Xbox Pass, Game pass? PC Game pass? other confusing names, that also seems to imply that all the games are on PC anyway. Why get a console?
    Anyway if they keep doing hardware it makes so much sense for it to be a handheld. I REALLY hope we see something really innovating as hardware, just for the fun of it! Gaming hardware is kinda getting fun again? Also PC gaming handhelds already double as living room TV consoles anyway. Big boxes under the TV are gonna disappear.. trading for docked handhelds, micro PCs.. AMD is really pushing crazy integrated graphics these days. on low wattage too. Really turning things upside down. Litteraly gaming PCs in the palm of your hand.
    Also it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to ''become'' (buy, lol) a publisher (many publishers) instead. Games can be played on so many devices. I'm still unsure how cloud gaming/game streaming will develop, if it'll really be popular in the near future. A part of it is a scary world where you don't own your games, and gamers aren't ready for that. But maybe a larger population is!? Still can't make up what that business model will be.
    Anyway I'm especially curious about what they can do on mobile. I didn't know they were going for that space! THAT is an area that needs huge impovement, as discussed in a previous comment! lol
    Never been a Xbox guy, but I'm on board it they can make me enjoy my smartphone again!! (currently just a sad notification and doom scolling machine).

    I don't think even the entire gaming industry is taking into account the current geopolitical situation on how gaming could evolve in the next 10 or 20 years thanks to the change of people's mentality about power. Many "de facto" systems in the world are going to receive competitors and some of those just replaced altogether by more realistic models that don't involve meaningless gratificiation, but something beyond the imaginaton. Beyond the usual and shallow cpmpensation. The very roots of power could see themselves in radical transformation, now that the oldest structures and rulers are fading away.

      ​@XboxxxGuyPretending the N64 was a commercial failure doesn't help your case. Disappointing when compared to their previous record isn't the same thing.
      And did you forget Sony's vast PS1 library? How old are you?
      Not to mention, the Gamecube is a perfect demonstration of what happens when you launch without a killer app.
      The Wii U was so badly handled that most consumers thought it was a controller, not a system.
      Learn your gaming history. Space Invaders, Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehog, Doom, Wii Sports, and Breath of the Wild speak for themselves.

    The epic movie music and um, Investigation Discovery (?) presentation ain't for me. Wish you success though.
