The fanbase is hungry for games. They gave them a fish to shut them up for awhile. If they had consistency in their releases, HFR wouldn’t get a shadow drop release like this.
The raving wouldn’t be so strong if they had year after year consistent releases.

You are right. He got the leadership position in March 2014 so it is 8 years and 10 months...

He said something similar last year.
Microsoft's investment in ChatGPT is paying off. They will soon be able to replace the sole thing Phil seems to do. Twitter Ambassadors are next.

Already released one next gen first party game this year, we know we're getting at the very least Redfall, Forza and Starfield also.
It was always going to take longer to release next gen only games, they also support releases for years with new content. Forza Horizon and Sea Of Thieves had a lot of new drops, that keeps people engaged for years not 15 hours and done.
Looking forward to a great year.

and i called the opposite pathetic narrative as well.
people given credit to MS/Xbox for things they didn't make. just look at Hi-fi Rush credits at the begging.
and I ask you the same question.
There is no "opposite narrative" to this delusional reality you live in where Zenimax isn't owned by Microsoft. You're just simply wrong.
How utterly stupid would it sound if Nestle tried to claim Quaker Oats, Tropicana, Gatorade or Mountain Dew aren't "real" PepsiCo products because PepsiCo (Nestles biggest rival) simply acquired them and don't actually "make" the products?
That's not how business works.
Just keep saying whatever sooths you and makes you sleep better about the situation though.

In what world is that crying? I simply stated it. Mods are not visible here ag least you have no clue who. So i just made clear that it was absolutely not my intention to troll or anything like that. But i also know the line beetween a joke and trolling can be hard for mods. So i get that too.
Over 250 posts in little over 2 days. Was always going to end in tears.
Did i write like a madman in the last 2 days? Absolutely but im also in bed with covid. I only game, eat, sleep,internet. right now.,Almost like an era mods life.

There's not much he can do when he is asked the question in an interview is there?

Pretty much. There's only so many times I can hear the guy say 'we didn't do well enough' before I throw up my hands in resignation and file him under incompetent until proven otherwise. He seems like a nice enough guy but holy shit he's bad at making sure games get made.

To be fair, he was probably expecting some sort of award instead of an interview.

yeah, stop doing interviews trying to garner good will? i don't think i've ever seen or heard Nintendo's president do an interview and Jim Ryan does them rarely and it's to say something of substance when he does.

Just to side track a little but are you able to get erected? One of my friends who got covid wasn't able to get it up for a whole week and he got so worried. I'm still a covid virgin myself lol.Did i write like a madman in the last 2 days? Absolutely but im also in bed with covid. I only game, eat, sleep,internet. right now.,Almost like an era mods life.
Anyway, get well soon!

Same excuse being made over and over.
”There’s not much he can do” Does he have a gun pointed at him to do these
”interviews”. Also these are not real interviews with hard questions, this is just a fluff piece. Not a singel hard question being asked here.
For example:
”Why do you keep promising and underdelivering for so long?
”Why did you let Halo be mistreated by 343i, you clearly knew about it and did nothing?
”You made it clear that you’re against exlusive deals. So why are you buying up pubs to take away games from other platforms and make them exclusive”
”Why do you keep on lying every time you open your mouth”
Etc.

And he addressed it. My man's even said, "I try to be careful stating how important this year is for Xbox because of community fatigue".
There's no "cry wolf" going on here. He knows 2022 was fucked. None of this is lost on him. He acknowledged it. The only wolf crying I see is fanboys changing their stance when Phil says things and follows through. In particular, the "Xbox has no games" mantra. Or, "Microsoft needs to compete" and "there is no warchest". Soon as he follows through it's always, "no! Not like that!" from fanboys. The Halo community was the worst for it. Shit was embarrassing.
halo saw huge success last year. Received a fuck ton of awards after so many fanboys screamed Halo wasn't even relevant. What happens? "No! Not like that!".
10 to 1, Microsoft has a huge year this year, and by the end of it, fanboys will still be talking about how Microsoft is still hurting from the days of Xbox One and the bad decisions they made back then. Or how they still have a long way to go from the 360 days.
Shit is just old by now. And it's embarrassingly predictable.

2022 was not good, but there were a lot of fantastic games during the last years.

I have it now the third time, but i am also type 1 diabetic so it hits me harder.
Yes i am but its much harder(nu pun intended). To get one. Even weeks after being well again it is a bonerkiller. i simply stopped porn and sex for 2-3 weeks and it was good again.
I also had loss of hearing on 1 ear for weeks.
The wildest thing i know from is from a german hardware forum where i am a member since decades. One member got blind on 1 eye from it because it attacked his optic nerve. :/ ( but he was also an idiot and conspiracy theorist so completely unvaxxed), now he regrets it deeply. I am 2 times, my immunsystem already knows it well by now, its my hobby to cure covid. 3 times fuck me
but thanks

Every fucking year the same promise by Mr. Spencer. Maybe you should find other job Phil.

If you stare at pictures of Phil or watch videos of him saying he is a gamer, this might help you get harder.I have it now the third time, but i am also type 1 diabetic so it hits me harder.

What a sad way to look at things. Especially when a majority of AAA games are cut and paste focus tested crap.

Probably one of the most important posts I've seen on gaf. Phil Spencer has been ending/starting years with variations of the same hollow PR statement. But this crystallises why most have stopped believing in Phil Spencer.

There is ZERO overlap between Wrg players or Bethesda Fans and Zelda players l, though.
BOTW was also a one time thing, Zelda will never sell that well again.
With that said, Bethesda's biggest releases are Elder Scrolls and Fallout which got big after years of building up those brands.
Starfield is new, putting it in November might actually kill it, being trampled by other big November games like a senior citizen on Black Friday.
They have to release it earlier to build hype and reputation.

AAA is a high budget game and I don’t think psycho naughts 2 is a high budget game. Same goes for Returnal, high on life, or ARK even if they charge full price.
AAA big budget games take like 5 years to make and MS didn't invest sadly until around 2018 in their first studios. 360 didn’t have many first party titles and that carried over to Xbox one because MS thought they can survive on just third party marketing. That is why we are now just starting to see their investments pay off.
With that being said, I will take most of these AA games like hi fi rush or pentiment over most AAA games that are the same cookie cutter games.

Phil's been directly in charge of gaming teams and planning since he got promoted in 2014, and giving him a few months after that to settle in.
The first changes he made at Xbox, and put money into, were not even related to games, but trying to increase revenue streams after losing money unbundling konnect and coming up with new ways to generate income.
Phil was never a gamer, he's just like Jim Ryan, only difference is Jim Ryan isn't quickly running games into the ground anywhere near as quick. Though we will see how that goes in the next two years.
