Honestly, they were far in the lead and thought that they had the market cornered.
This made the Xbox team believe they could try new things in an attempt to grow beyond videogames.
I think their endgame was for the "xbox" to be a core piece to any household, like a cable box.
Turns out they didn't have the market cornered as well as they thought.

The online only thing was awful, but the family system could have been great. Gamesharing is a fucking great thing on the Xbone. 99% of the games I own are digital, and even then I've only traded in 1 Xbone game and that was because I bought it digitally.

No, always online was one of the biggest fucking problems the Xbone launch had, and only marketers have a real reason to disagree. "we have a system for people who can't always be online, its called the 360". Also, I can't fucking believe that you are comparing a 400 to 600 price difference to a 400 to 500 price difference like they are the same fucking thing.
>>
>>381712126
Actually, the outrage at the Xbox One happened at the reveal, which happened BEFORE the PS4's price was revealed. It was outrage at the always online DRM shit. So no, the outrage happened before the prices were even revealed. Nice work revealing yourself as a newfag though, well done.

Sonybros msking a big deal about online doesn't mean anything. Just e3 shit slinging

The real damage was pricing a weaker system at 100 bucks more for kinect shit and showing kinect garbage. Don't kid yourselves, If the xbone was 400 at launch and as strong as the ps4, it would be much closer sales wise

That wasn't known at the time, what's so hard to understand? The Xbone's price was announced days before the PS4's price and the outrage happened during the Xbone reveal.

Nothing you're saying has any relevance whatsoever.

the xbox is dead. their big hitter for the One X is a racing game in their most saturated franchise.
>>
>>381713810

I was here and agreed the ps4 was the better deal. But I'm not retarded enough to miss that the cheaper console always gets more sales when all is said and done. Stuff like always online wouldn't have mattered much if they priced at 350 because they were pushing a system that was weaker at 500. Ultimately that caused their undoing. Consumers walk in and see the multiplats run better on a system 100 dollars less. They don't give a shit about what neckbeards like you cry over at the shitfest that is e3.

The Japanese. Xbox started off as a rebirth of Sega in some ways to the point where the original Xbox was planned to play Dreamcast discs. Unfortunately the nips will find ridiculous reasons to hate shit for no reason. Some of the reasons the gooks gave for not liking the Xbox include "The console is black and black is the color of death" despite the PS2 being black, but that's ok I guess. Another reason was "X is the letter of death" despite X not even being a character is Japanese and the PS2 controller apparently having death as a button. Another big blow is the Japanese legal system which makes it legally impossible for there to be Japanese first party studio for Xbox laws that were specifically lobbied for by Sony ever so conveniently. This was the main reason why they partnered with Sega for the original Xbox and why they funded the creation of studios like Mistwalker.

They were never innovative. They may have had some marketing guys create a name and their engineering guys created a good console, but they couldn't make any good games so they just bought studios. They fooled everyone until the Kinect came out which exposed that Microsoft was uncreative and an anti-consumer company at that.

As an ex-nintendofag I never liked the shit they were pushing like paid online and other internet related shit or the kinect shit which is similar to the shit nintendo was pushing with the wii
I remember watching that awful conference that everyone remembers, since that time I have never cared about the xbox
The fact that they are making a new console without exclusives made me laugh, well at least they announced backwards compatibility which for some reason Sony thinks is something people dont want

Xbone sold just as much as the 360 so far though

Microsoft makes me picture a billionaire who was bored one day, so he went and hired the best boxing coaches in the world, trained for three days, entered into boxing, and became the 3rd best boxer in the world, and when interviewed about it just says "it felt like a easy way to spend my time and keep from being bored", after having spent millions of dollars to make thousands.

It just feels like they are involved with games at all because they are bored or something.

They killed all the goodwill accumulated over a generation in their 2013 E3. The brand is probably dead for good now, which is a shame because I happen to think the Xbox and the 360 were the best consoles of their generations.

It wasn't just one thing, it was a culmination of everything. Always online, mandatory Kinect, no used games, weaker hardware (although lets be honest, the PS4 was outdated when it released too) and the higher pricetag. They rectified the always online, Kinect bullshit and no used games but by that stage the damage had already been done.

In the short term after the 2013 E3 it was the "Always Online" shit and the "You cant trade in games since you only rent the right to play them from us" which killed the Xbox brand

Don Mattick's infamous fuckup and Sony fucking dropping 10 tons of whoopass on Xbox with the cheeky as fuck "How to trade a PS4 game with your friends" video were the initial final nails.

In the medium to long term, the cold facts of Xbone having literally zero quality exclusives and it being much more expensive despite being far less powerful than the PS4 ultimately killed it dead.

They barely even tripped up with the PS3, which makes it even funnier.

The PS3 only suffered compared to the 360 in the initial years of the generation. It came back and vastly outsold the 360 in the latter half of the gen.

Xbox never had any real "lead" over Sony which makes their arrogance at all the shit they attempted to pull with the Xbone based in the belief of some kind of non-existant brand loyalty even funnier.

The RROD saga killed any brand loyalty towards Xbox
>>
>>381720487
The second half of the 360's life also hurt it in the long term, as someone who played primarily on 360 throughout 7th gen me and most of my friends were getting pissed at the lack of noteworthy 360 games coming out as Microsoft focused on Kinect and raped our favorite franchises with games like Halo 4 and GoW Judgement. We were also irritated that Microsoft raised the price of XBL while removing features we liked such as 1 vs 100 or Netflix sync watching.

Many reasons. Things like it's a pedestal item for investors, business and non-profits have to buy them, they can charge out the ass for it. Piracy is such a non-issue for MS for windows, that they can easily take the loss while touting to investors that they "actively" go after pirates.

In reality, Xbox is more about branding & another pedestal item for investors. If they can make a profit for it, hey all the better. But MS will always care more about Office & Windows than Xbox, it's an after thought.

That said, they had a good E3 this year.

Microsoft will never recover in the videogame industry. Or at least its products will never again be top dog.

Normies don't care about the DRM or TV shit.

The damn thing cost $500 and had worse specs than the $400 PS4.

It's still not capable of a PC can do due to no replaceable parts. But it is indeed as advertised the most powerful console on the market and the closest we've had to a console reaching PC potential due to x86 being the plan this gen from the start.

It will inevitably be outclassed by whatever comes next. I'd even go as far as to say that the next big leap in gaming will be more processing power that as always be underutilized because "we have to go beyond 4K resolution instead of making the game run better"

He didn't really have much to work with but he has done a better job than expected.
>>
Xbox One X can only run 30 fps

I still laugh about this

>>381722208
He's a great leader as far as reacting and listening, fixing mistakes, interacting with the press, being a figurehead for Xbox with him genuinely appearing to love and plays games, and holding the ship on course. He's down to earth and genuine. He was left with a dead brand in 2014 when he was named as the Head of Xbox division.

>>381722208
He's at the forefront of trying to give MS an identity beyond Halo, Gears, & Forza. If anything, he should be lauded.

And any executive is better than Don Matrick.

We're not gonna outsell you, were gonna kill you. Phil Spencer will put and end to the evil and save gaming. Just remember this 3 years from now.

>Draconian always-on DRM caused MASSIVE negative feedback/backlash the moment it was announced
>Despite reneging on the DRM Don Mattrick had the golden idea of forcing Kinect into every unit sold (despite motion control dying with the Wii and casual gaming moving to PC and phones) which in turn raised the price of each unit
>Not very many games, and what games there were blew ass. Forza 5 was a HUGE step back for the series, and Halo: Master Chief Collection literally didn't fucking work because 343 wanted to get it out the door to focus on ESPORTS
>Sony partnered with Activision for special content in Destiny, and early release stuff for CoD which coupled with the PS4's lower price did a real number on the Xbone
>Microsoft invests very little new games or IPs. Sea of Thieves is the first one in years, and even then it was outclassed by a fucking Ubisoft game
>>
>>381722208
>remove kinect
>Brought the s Backwards Compat, and now OG BC
>Did the Xbox one S and the upcoming one X
>Revamped the UI and brought huge amounts of functionality to the Xbox ecosystem including the xbox game pass and others shit
>elarged the brand to windows 10 (probably not his Idea but the CEO's one) and Crossplay shit. Also Crossbuy between Xbox and Windows 10 (buy one, play on both)
>Brought the Elite Controller and probably soon the mouse & Keyboard Elite.
The only probably is the situation of the 1st part studios.

Skull and Bones doesn't look that good though, it just looks like Black Flag without the Assassin's Creed parts, and while Black Flag without the Assassin's Creed parts sounds like it would be fun, it doesn't seem like it would stay fun for very long. Sea of Thieves genuinely looks like it would be a blast with a few friends, it's coming out on PC too though, so it isn't really a pro for Xbone.

Which STILL hasn't happened?

The only AAA first party “exclusive” they announced at e3 was Forza 7
>>
>>381722208
>Immediately unbundled the Kinect in order to cut costs because nobody cares. Hell I don't think MS even makes them anymore, or if they do it must not be many
>Closed down Xbox Entertainment Studios because they needed to focus on games and because if people wanted TV or movies they can get Netflix or something on the Xbox anyway
>Is far more public and approachable than Don Mattrick
>Genuinely seems to care, even if its producing the same Halo/Gears/Forza crap compared to Microsoft's prior LOOK AT THE KINECT crap
>Started putting games on PC

I mean the Xbox brand isn't going to get very far but Phil isn't the worst man at his job
>>
>>381722676
Game pass is pretty shit so far though, EA Access is a better deal despite having less games.
>>
>>381722676
he also launched ID@Xbox thing for Indieshit which brought things like Cuphead

Xbox has always been a mixed bag. The original was pricier, the 360 was for the most part terrible value for the money (while having better multi-plats), and the Xbone is stagnation incarnate (why hype all this hardware when there are no games? Not to mention Halo sucks ass now)

The "no games" thing is getting old.
>>
>>381723568

The original had better multiplats as well. It's what Xboxes have always excelled in.
>>
>>381723784
So where are the games?
>>
>>381723568
The 360 and PS3 were both largely crap at launch, as consoles tend to be. The 360 just had it worse thanks to its out the ass failure rate.

Japanese gaming is, for the most part, garbage. Xbox is and always will be the king of gaming. Weeaboos are objectively worse than nigger lovers.

It's dine, Halo is going back to its roots and finally ending the cancer of OC donut steals hijacking Chief's story since 2004 for all future FPS installments, and they rebuilt their hardware. Now Microsoft just needs to rebuild their software and they are already working on that.

>>381723784
But it's true. I bought a one s for the uhd player, since I already had a ps4, but what the fuck am I supposed to play on this thing? Halo? Gears (also on pc), the death of forza?

>>381724875
>Master Chief focused for all future FPS Halo games meaning no Arbiter, Rookie, Noble Six, or Locke, ever
>split screen and lan for all future FPS Hallo games

>Forge Lead is now the multiplayer lead
>new writer
>possibility of the Flood return
>possibility of Flood Juggernaut, Forerunner Sharquoi and War Sphinx, Scarab

>simple story that's keeping the books, comics, and spin offs (Halo Wars 2, that means you) out of the game
Yeah, it's going back to its roots.

Can you change the Wii U back to the one that gets the garbage can.
If you genuinely believe that it was better than any console out at that time, then your opinion has been discarded.

Killer Instinct?

He is so much better than Don Mattrick that guy is the real answer to this thread. the guy who truly ruined the Xbox brand, with some of the worst ideas and business decisions in recent history.

They kept shooting themselves in the foot, but I think one big mistake killed all their momentum. The Red Ring of Death. You could call up Microsoft and they would fix it free, but instead of giving you a new one, you got a refurbished one and it would overheat too. That alone cause so many people to make fun of Microsoft and fans just gave up on them.

I know I never thought of buying another Xbox after 2 of my 360s got the RROD
