The Best Buy that I work at literally only sells controllers so there’s truth to this regardless. We barely have an actual Xbox console in the store. We tend to have just one and it sits forever.
My series one Bluetooth stopped working and my series 2 both of them I may add had a Bluetooth issue or the rubber started lifting from the controller after only 2-ish years of use. I don’t think it’s worth it anymore. I prefer the elite controller, but I just don’t like the Bill quality very much since I constantly have a little issues.
I mean, it’s not selling out if you can still pre-order it that means it’s not selling out. And they also said the Rog x it’s only available at select retailers and it’s been stated that it won’t be a readily available device to begin with so it being sold out just means I sold through the initial units that they had projected to begin with. Microsoft typically pretty good about fudging their numbers and lying about general sales figures and stuff which is why they use things like active users and concurrent players as opposed to actual hard sales data.
Who’s your source for this information? Every site iv seen talk about dead islands success, and including their own tweets say nothing about Xbox game pass. The headlines this website uses are always head scratching. You either give Xbox more credit or kudos than they deserve or you guys imply in your headlines that whatever game you’re mentioning is specifically an Xbox title. It’s truly head scratching because you should be reporting things accurately.
@themightyant didn’t CD project red say they ported cyberpunk in seven weeks or something? Since they’re going for dedicated specs for individual system versus two (being the series x and S) it should be a smoother process
The Xbox is essentially a Wii U lol nobody wanted it. Everyone had a PlayStation now that their games are releasing on PlayStation Xbox games are selling. If you have an Xbox and no game pass, you’re most likely not using your Xbox. The Xbox has been selling terribly since 2013. That’s literally not gonna change and now that they’re doing a third-party push it’s kind of a no-brainer. Their games are going to sell elsewhere where people are actually playing
Lmao there’s a reason why Devs don’t want to release games for the Xbox. If it’s not on game pass, it’s not worth it because Xbox players seem like they refuse to buy anything.
XD absolutely not. I’ll have the switch 2! I have the Lenovo Legion go, steam deck oled and a laptop. Anything hand held or on the go related is pretty much set in my house hold.
Anyone willing to buy an Xbox now would seriously just like wasting in their money. They give zero incentive outside of game pass. They sold us on lies. Their exclusives aren’t good anymore. They have a severe lack of them. Or at least a lack of compelling ones. I’m tired of the “they acquired the studio so we just have to wait”. I’ve been waiting since 2016. Anyone willing to buy an Xbox now would seriously just like wasting in their money. I’m not gonna buy Xbox ever again. I’ll use the one that I currently have and anything that won’t work on what I have now I will play on other consoles and PC. Game pass is also PC so I’m not missing out on anything. The general argument of wanting a consul like experience is pretty much out the window when I can just go to steam big picture mode. Steam big picture mode is exactly like a game console experience. Xbox to me as a brand is essentially dead. They’ve gone the wayside like Sega so they might as well give up on consoles at this point.
This is isn’t hard to do considering they don’t have very much. Halo, Minecraft maybe sea of thieves. If it was a limited three, it would have to be some thing that has actual replay value and longevity without a true ending otherwise, you just be replaying the same game over and over and over again, which will get boring. Also, I don’t know if there’s a lack of clarification, but when you say Xbox, I would assume you mean Xbox only, so something that’s not multi plat? That would make me choosing sea of thieves and Minecraft redundant. Now we’re talking in general at the moment. The only thing I do play on Xbox is Fortnite and Minecraft that’s it.
Here’s a fantastic idea just don’t buy them? I had no idea they were even in the game but I have to say I’m not going to grab my pitchfork because I have this wonderful option called choice.
