I’ve cancelled my Ultimate GP. Can I afford it? Yes. Do I think it’s great value for money for me now? No. So it’s gone and I’m spending money on games I want to keep, mostly on Switch 2 now.
My advice to Xbox execs would be to shut up until you’ve got something concrete to say. Forget the ambiguous comments leaving everyone 2nd guessing. It’s not helpful. Sony must be loving all this.
You can’t help but think it would have been better if MS had released a dedicated handheld that let you play all of your Xbox games. By that of course I mean console games, which is what an Xbox is. They should then talk about Xbox ‘streaming’ for anything that isn’t actually playing it natively. Maybe they could talk about Windows PC editions of Xbox games where you could hop between console and PC. The sort of phrases that make sense to consumers who know the name Xbox means a console like those from Sony or Nintendo. MS have botched their comms no two ways about it. You can’t help thinking the bigwigs above those running Xbox have been behind all of this. You know, the bean counters who are total dimwits but things look good on their Excel spreadsheets. Phil has been quiet of late. That can’t be a coincidence. The massive rise in Gamepass prices is another sign the accountants are in charge. It’s really not a great time for Xbox right now.
