Re: Xbox Boss Explains Her Gamertag Activity, Says 'Faking Would Be A Terrible Idea'

There's an incredibly toxic crowd out there. They mistake anger and bullying for a response. Sharma is new to the job. Whether he does good things or not, I don't understand all this backlash right now. People are looking for something to get angry about instead of enjoying the game. Honestly, all I want to say since Sharma took the job is: what's wrong with you guys?

This is a professional job. Everybody talks just like an expert about everyting. I will wait sharma's and microsoft's move and i'll choice pay or not for their products. That's all.

Re: Xbox's 'Pivot Away From Console' Had Been Failing And Questioned At Microsoft, Claims Report

I don't think any Xbox user cares whether Call of Duty is exclusive or not. Personally, I think it's better if it's not exclusive.

The brand has values ​​like Halo, Gears etc.. and thetiy want to be exclusive for new projects that other studios will produce.

They can offer Call of Duty and a few other games on multiple platforms. But brand-specific products should remain.

Re: New Xbox Boss Makes Official Statement As She Takes Over From Phil Spencer

In my opinion, there's practically no Xbox anymore. The Series X is my first and last Xbox console. I don't want to go back to PlayStation. I've bought all their consoles except the PS5. But the overrated exclusives and their closed-minded attitude towards innovation led me to Xbox. Ultimately, the Xbox excitement of 2021-2023 is completely dead. Reluctantly, I'll return to the PS6 after 2030. Actually, I'm pessimistic not just about Xbox, but about classic console gaming in general.

It's a slim chance, but I hope things will improve for Xbox.

Re: Sony's Bluepoint Games Might Be Gone, But We'll Never Forget Their 'Impossible Port' For Xbox 360

@Questionable_Duck

Absouletly. Sony and Microsoft don't produce consoles just for the sake of selling consoles. What's important is software sales. Believe it or not, I heard a friend ask if there are any games other than FIFA on PlayStation, and I witnessed a game seller in my country saying that game was free on the PSN Store, and then asking that how could i go to the PSN Store. They all have a Playstation but not profitable for Sony.

Sony had already stated during the PS4 era that exclusive games were cumbersome and unprofitable. Sony games have started coming to PC. Xbox isn't the only one having problems. Microsoft is just taking an early position. We should not forget: Xbox is not everything for Microsoft but Ps is everything for Sony. That's why microsoft could take risky decisions.

Profits are not enough for both of them. Especially for a big company just as Microsoft. Like stated above, tradational console gaming is dying. I wish that there was a alternative brand.

Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following February 2026's Nintendo Direct

Tsubasa is amazing for me! I wasn't expecting it! Honestly I last played Tsubasa during the NES era and it was one of the favourite games when i was a child. It's awesome that it's coming to Xbox.

I bought all three classic Turok games for Xbox already. I didn't have a Nintendo 64 back then, but it still feels great today. I'm awaiting Turok Origins as well.

Re: 'We've Been Talking To Microsoft' - Epic Games Wants Its Store On The Next Xbox Console

Savex

Yesterday AMD, today Epic Games. Every company except Microsoft cares about Xbox.

There is an interesting detail:

"I'm fairly certain that'll require us to build an app that functions there."

Then Pcbox that we'll see is not a complete pc. It looks like a powerful console that runs other stores. Basicly, all consoles are "pcbox" today. What is the difference then? Why we call it pcbox?

In addition, if microsoft has plans about xbox, why does share their market? Despite everything, the most profitable platform for selling games is the Xbox Store for them.

Re: We'll Start Seeing More GTA 6 This Summer Ahead Of November Launch, Says Take-Two CEO

Savex

I'll buy gta 6 probably. I am sure, it will be a good game but expectations are going to be unrealistic day by day. When i was a kid gta san andreas changed my world but i think i'm done with this style. Today, GTA games are tiring for me. They don't offer much freedom to the player while completing missions. These games are too cinematic. I'm already tired of the open-world style. So this isn't the game I'm most looking forward to. Fable or new divinity, maybe resident evil requiem much more interesting for me.

Re: Microsoft CFO Admits Xbox Revenue Was 'Below Expectations' In FY26 Q2

Savex

The Series X is my first Xbox console. Previously, I used the Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and PS1–2–3–4.

One of the factors that changed my decision was that, aside from The Last of Us, I didn’t really enjoy PlayStation exclusives that much. Moreover, despite very high sales numbers, Sony had halted its operations in my country. Xbox, on the other hand, was offering regional pricing. But more importantly, at the beginning of this generation, Xbox inspired confidence and hope. Game Pass, the studios they acquired, a more economical way to enter the new generation, and a more powerful console all made it feel like Xbox could make a legendary comeback.

Indeed, between 2020 and 2022, Xbox was gaining momentum. At times, we even saw news that Xbox had surpassed PlayStation in weekly or monthly sales in Japan and the United Kingdom. Of course, this was also related to the chip shortage and stock crisis, but people were not hesitant to turn toward Xbox. If Xbox had managed to release one or two high-quality games and executed good marketing, things could really have changed. But guess what happened? They made the worst possible moves. They failed to deliver an exclusive game on the level of Sony’s. Starfield fell short of expectations. Then there was nothing left that was exclusive to Xbox. Xbox, already not very well known outside the United States, remained a meaningless console.

In fact, despite all these bad moves, Xbox is still a console brand with potential. An 18-month-old series that had never appeared on Xbox before managed to sell 1.6 million copies. There is still a chance for a comeback, but I’m convinced that Microsoft doesn’t want this comeback.

Of course, as consumers we can’t understand the market as well as professionals do, but one thing is certain: “classic gaming” is losing blood. Microsoft wants to take an early position.

I have never regretted buying the Series X. I love this ecosystem and this console, but as a new Xbox user, I wouldn’t choose Xbox today amid all this uncertainty. It feels like they’re acting as if they could say “we’re shutting down” at any moment.

Re: Talking Point: Three Years Later, What Do You Think Of The GoldenEye 007 Port For Xbox?

Savex

Despite the good graphic style, fps games getting old badly. Still loaded on my series x but i didn't complete yet.

@Mr-RC Regarding the idea of ​​retro games, I absolutely disagree. I have a lot of old consoles at home, but I often prefer to play collections that are easily accessible on my main platform. On the other hand, an unplayed game is new. If you like it, it doesn't matter which platform it was released on. How many games are as fun as Contra Hard Corps these days?

Re: Four New Games Added To Retro Classics On Xbox Game Pass In January 2026

Savex

Every game that hasn't been played before is new. Because of that, retro classics project excited me so much at first. Additonaly I can describe myself as a retro fan. I bought almost all retro collections. Especially 16 bit era is my favourite. However, as the user above also stated, this collection is full with Atari 2600 games. Game industry evolved fastly even in late 80's, these games were very old and clunky. I say this as someone whose first gaming console was the Atari 2600. They're totally unplayable. If retro classics is to have any meaning, it should have high-quality 8-16 bit games. I do not mention meanless adventure games... Old games of a dead-genre is not making any sense...

I am sure they'll add "real games" someday. At least i hope.
