Completely gut Xbox, review the games in development, see where costs can be cut, no doubt Helix will be redesigned and developed to make it sub $1K
Me too. Hell, I'd even subscribe to his fucking patreon for it.
thats was 5 years ago. Time to go.
So with Activision Blizzard + Bethesda + investments in GamePass money hats we are at or above $100 Billion… and people constantly go on the PR charming offensive for these folks… smallest
…
Isn't it like the whole industry is closing studios and laying off people?
This is the only benefit from these layoffs. Asha, as an AI Agent is incompatible with wokeness.
They should still do it. That is the correct way.
That was pretty much all he said, and was what led to him choosing to leave. He's not an idiot
, he's a man of few words at the best of times, not one to leak / spill the beans on the companies he works for.
Looool those decisions were likely made last week.
MS's Xbox accountability margin isn't a YoY growth in profit measurement and there's no temporal growth factor to it; it's simply a means of gauging profits in relation to cost of generating them, so basically just a profit margin for the division expressed as a percentage of revenue. (profit/revenue) x 100 = accountability margin.
See, that's not why you bring in an AI CEO. She's not here to troubleshoot a flailing gaming production operation and make it work as it should have been doing, not here to Make Xbox Great Again.
This xbox perception issue in the wider world is surely lost on her. Everyone that's been leading her through this Dummies Guide to Gaming CEO, teaching her about the business, has largely been NA-based or NA-centric, and there's a big wide world out there that's going to be pretty apathetic to yet another xbox is so back, baby cycle.
Well, she at least won't have a single drop of loyalty to any of them and will happily replace them with those that align with her true intentions for xbox - as we've seen with all the exec-level AI hirings.
Phil almost completely killed it, time will tell if it's even fixable
The only thing you should be impressed by is nintenda greediness, because their consoles always selling at profit from the get go, they have a room for maneuver selling cheap overpriced garbage
I heard that gamepass is sustainabl
huh, it's almost as if we knew it all along. makes the following a real head scratcher

Microsoft's logistics leverage on a grand scale is miniscule compared with Nintendo or PlayStation.
Microsoft's logistics leverage is minuscule compared to Nintendo and Sony?
They kept blaming Don Mattrick who was running Xbox at its most profitable stage. Phil should have never took over.
Yup. Cancelling the Gears Ps5 Version wss just dumb
I'm still with Jeff Gertsmann on that issue. Gears will be made an example of why Xbox will keep the PS5 publishing after the game flops.
Entire MS consumer hardware division (we ignore data centers here because they are whole anothe sector of economy) is nowhere near in volume or buying power of Sony PlayStation (that actually produces tons of other gaming stuff outside of consoles) and Nintendo. It's not a controversial take, it's just a fact. And even they are struggling hard with the rising costs and access to nodes and required volumes.
Why do people say exclusives won't help Xbox? For years the main complaint was that Xbox had no exclusives, and that everything was also on PC or PS5. Now Xbox is trying to bring exclusives back, and suddenly people are saying it won't matter.
Because it's another race to the bottom at this point, and Xbox is alredy a huge moneysing and exclusives (that will cost north of 100m each) won't help with that by limiting the potential audience with excluding way more successful platforms.
He bought activision and choked to death on it.
