We really don’t need new hardware. The Series X is more powerful than anything on the market, has a flawed but still solid library and the best online service if they would reverse the price increases.
Cancel all 3rd party ports, make amends with the gutted first party studios, focus on creating smaller AA games to increase their output and lower risks, lower the price of the base Series X to $450, and fire the CEO and MS can slowly become the best platform again.
Also the Series S should probably be lowered to $200-$220.
The people have spoken. Journalism was wrong again. After like 1 hour the reviews are overwhelmingly negative with complaints of poor performance and it being another generic slop shooter.
I agree I also think Forza…what do you mean Fable?
Respond to Forza was unanimously positive, the only good things people are saying about Fable is that here glad MS listened and added a character creator.
Ok here me out. MS bundles the controller and Forza Horizon 6 for $500. Delay the new Xbox that’s just a crappy PC for 3-5 years and get people into the client infrastructure.
Forza 6 is the only game people still care about. They need to protect it vigilantly.
If Xbox is going to survive this year is their last chance.
They need to drop the price of the base Series X to $450. Nobody can afford PCs anymore so the Series X is the best alternative but they have to move the product.
Reduce the price of GamePass back to $15 a month with a discount for buying a full year.
Consoles sales are down 70% but don’t worry because even though profits are down, margins are up. MS makes more money from every vanishingly rare sale even though they are making less money overall.

@Kezelpaso
The game can’t even reach 10k today and was overwhelmingly negatively reviewed. People tried it and didn’t like it.
Re: Hands On: Highguard Feels Smooth & Solid On Xbox, But Desperately Needs More Ways To Play
It’s ok to admit the game is DOA.
Some Concord devs worked on this, failing upwards is as strong as ever.

MS already said the next product will be a PC, and they are pushing ads on cloud.

“it's not Xbox-like at all”
Sadly the Series X will be the final Xbox, and we’ll be forced to use ads and cloud gaming on a low end pseudo-PC.

As long as they don’t butcher NV like they did Oblivion, a port on Switch 2 would be the greatest game of all time.

Re: Black Ops 7 Sales & Players Down Massively On Last Year's Call Of Duty, New Data Shows

Because they got 70% of the sales. Also MS losing that much does not bode well for Gamepass.
