At 7:48 he shows how many real Xbox fans (not the fake ones doing PR) like zanny, XBG, Stallion83 (The guy with worlds biggest Gamerscore in Xbox)
I still remember playing Phantasy Star Universe on Xbox 360 everyday after school.

As soon as Moore left in 2007 and the corporate suits took over the end was inevitable.
Every "mistake" since then is a result.

Yup. This is when Xbox changed for the worst and never recovered in my opinion. Xbox from 2002 to 2007 was fantastic.

No wonder later on there was a huge push for Kinect that would eventually be Xbox One's downfall.

Off topic - 0:54 - Joe wearing that Superman shirt. I had the same exact one back in the day. I used to call it the fat man's go to shirt. Got rid of it when I lost all this weight.

What will happened in a alt universe Xbox didn't acquire ABK, but putting their funding and effort on XGS+Zenimax and raising smaller 3rd party studio gem to GP?
like fixing redfall to a 8/10 game, better development of Starfield, operating better on halo infinite etc, with selection of tasteful small studio work like palworld and COE33

The absolute BEST thing that will come out of Microsofts' new direction is seeing the cancerous, Xbox centric content creators succumb to irrelevancy.
I'm talking about the 40-50 year old miserable cunts who are trying to make pennies by milking people even dumber than they are by creating false narrative and console-warring content only.
I think we all know who they are and they know who they are. Have fun drowning with the ship losers!

There were some "come clean Microsoft" narrative in 2017-2022, at that time MS want pushing "We are evil in 90's and 2000's, but we come clean now"
Beaucse evil Google with other giant new tech company exists, so they did improve some of them reputation

But Microsoft keeps doing very shady stuff. Not only with Xbox.
Just look at the nightmare tat is Copilot and Recall. Or the forcing of a MS account with Windows installation.
This is still an evil, manipulative company.
The point is, you assume Phil Spencer knows how to make games, how to evaluate games, and how to support game developers.
That lunatic Phil approved that Halo Infinite trailer that looked like a PS2 game running on an emulator with a resolution boost. Raving that it was better than Horizon Forbidden West... That idiot Phil only knows how to "spend daddy's money" while fantasizing about buying a Nintendo.
