@Sindayl Actually, I googled ‘xbox series global sales’ and the PureXbox article came up and I read it with your comment lol

Also, I think the Series S is a fantastic and capable machine. Just one problem… ‘It’s an Xbox’ 😁

@Scrubchub

Success is more than just Hardware capability. If that was the case, Nintendo would be a failure and you’d still be rocking your Microsoft Phone.

@Sinday “… Series S sold well…”

Xbox got completely obliterated the last 2 generations. Ironically, you said it yourself regarding Xbox sales

SindaylMon 29th Dec 2025, 3:13pm “..This is ridiculously bad for such a huge company.”

Microsoft is best at making a product that is worse than everyone else.

Marathon was #64 for daily player count on Steam for its launch day.

Highguard did better

Any combination of Sony/Nintendo/Steam is all you need. Not giving another dollar to these clowns at Microsoft. And I was there day 1 for the first Xbox. Shame really… so disappointed.

Actually, Relooted was this years first Xbox studio launch since it was discovered it was funded by Microsoft.

AI spyware within the app. Just as the new CEO mentioned her desire to do in previous interviews.

1. Double the price of Game Pass… with 80% ads and 20% loading screens.
2. Give away all our first-party exclusives to our competition… including the source code, so they can patch our bugs better than we do.
3. Increase our hardware prices while saying “Everything is an Xbox” from your fridge to your smart toaster.
4. Close 17 studios in one day, then spend $100 billion buying them back.
5. Declare “Games don’t sell consoles” and pivot to NFTs.
6. Announce the Xbox Phone.
7. Buy PlayStation… then immediately sell it back to Sony for Game Pass coupons.

He had plenty of time to turn it around. But he didn’t. Look at where we are today.

Xbox just gonna end up being be an app.
If they actually do ‘xbox pc’ they’ll end up teaming with another company like they did with the handheld. New CEO is just here for damage control - she will then be shifted to a new position once it’s announced Xbox will cease in the console market.

“…her Xbox gamertag is a shared home account that's being used "across devices"

So others are using her gamertag as well?

“..Fixed that this weekend and everyone is only playing on their own GTs.”

So she was faking it until she got called out lol

@BAMozzy

Phil Spencer bet on:

Multi-platform access and services > Games

He failed in epic proportions

@themightyant - a few more Phil quotes

“It’s just not true that if we go off and build great games then all of a sudden you’re going to see console share shift in some dramatic way.”

“This idea that if we just focused more on great games on our console that somehow we’re going to win the console race… doesn’t really lay into the reality of most people.”

“There is no world where Starfield is an 11 out of 10 and people start selling their PS5s. That’s not going to happen.”

“We’re not in the business of out-consoling Sony or out-consoling Nintendo.”

@Gemini53 I’ve been out. Microsoft will need to earn their business back

I stand by my comment from nearly 2 years ago

Phil Spencer is not a bad guy. He’d be a great neighbor. But I think people have a hard time separating the man from his job. He basically took over Xbox after the 360 era… and Xbox has been going downhill ever since. He even said “Games don’t sell consoles” 🤡 I honestly think, the sooner he gets replaced the better.

@themightyant

You’re right, everyone loved Phil, especially the competition - made their jobs easy lol

I already decided about a year ago that I’ll never buy another microsoft product. I made the right choice.

It’s going to go from BAD to WORSE!!

Cool, I’ll check it out on Switch. It’s $2.99 with expansions on Nintendo Eshop right now. I’d rather just own it.

The whole situation is suspect. It’s like one of those crypto pump and dumps.

Xbox Announces Consoles Will Be Removed From Xbox In …

Gamepass value is incredible to get quality games like this.

Lol i just commented on another article less than 24 hours ago that the upcoming ‘xbox pc’ UI will break with updates. This is a preview.

Imagine buying a $2000 dollar ‘xbox pc’ loaded with bloatware & spyware you cannot remove… along with a clunky UI that can break with a windows 11 update.

Xbox sold us on an ecosystem it suddenly gave away… along with price hikes and erratic corpo decisions. Many games unavailable on Xbox. People are leaving every day and will continue.

“Series S beats Switch 2!”

Not really something to brag about lol

I still bought it for Switch 2 instead of xbox and glad i did!

I hope it’s a great year for Microsoft because they’ll need to earn my business back

Microsoft made it pretty clear they don’t want people to buy games on their systems.

This article is inspiring me to dust off the xbox and start ramming people off the road 😂

Pre-ordered for Switch 2. Looks and plays awesome in handheld.

Xbox made it pretty clear they don’t want people to buy games on their hardware.

Lol, their team can’t even get Skyrim to run on Switch 2 (it ran great on Switch 1)

@carlos82

It’s to add to Microsoft metrics so they can say “Streaming games is up 10000% this quarter!! We’re a HUGE success!!” 😂

You couldn’t pay me to play this game

Streaming is up because a lot of people are streaming all those mediocre gamepass games without wanting to install them. Play for 10 min and try another.

Xbox 360 was the best!! What happened? I miss those days.

So many recent games released for Playstation/Switch/Steam but not on Xbox!! I’m so done with Microsoft!! It saddens me a bit, I’ve owned every Xbox console and don’t plan on getting another console by Microsoft!! I’m done.

Great move for Valve. Biggest loser is Microsoft!! They got beat to the punch!!!

Day 1 buy for me (on Switch 2)

Unfortunately, I cancelled and most likely stopped buying games for Xbox

a lot of people are surprised at microsoft’s strategy . Not in a good way either.

@Tasuki that will really show them 😂

This game is awesome. Can’t wait to play tomorrow

Junk. Doesn’t matter to me as I already cancelled my sub

How about a decent game? That would be great.

No. Already pre-ordered Switch 2.

But PS5 ‘is an Xbox’ according to Microsoft’s new marketing campaign 😁

Reading this while I adjust my dong size in Cyberpunk 😁

Going to be a smash hit just like Concord 😂
