Bringing back Peter moore or j allard would be great. Outside of Them….. maybe Bobby kotick because he would probably be aggressive with exclusives….. but on the other hand he has no real love for games and how they are made.
Ideally somebody with a creative flair…. Strong leadership skills. Believes in the brand, and recognises that ultimately exclusive content sells platforms. Somebody who appreciates quality. Somebody who looks at the competition and tries to not only put do them but play to their own strengths simultaneously.
With all the studios and resources they have they should be the number 1 in the console space. An insane amount of studio. They could outspend Nintendo and Sony in R&D easily for any new gen hardware at any time. They have the money to outbid them on every deal……
And yet for all that. MS just can’t seem to get any of the crucial things Right. It’s laughable that it’s this bad. I just have no words for it. Honestly se or red a lot better, for them after acquiring Bethesda and ABK.
With the right management…. They would be a power house of a 3p publisher with stuff like COD and their GASS games. While also having the Xbox be treasure trove of exclusives made specifically for the hardware, with all those studio under one umbrella. Phil spencer and co completely lack balls and any sense of vision. They need somebody who lives the brand and loves to compete. Somebody who features to be number 1. I never get that impression with the current team. They all seem better off working in the windows or surface departments. They lack the claws, teeth and aggression to really compete against Nintendo and Sony. But that would change with the right management.
Sony never beat Xbox. Xbox management just keep holding xbox back from what it could have been. And that will continue to be the case until they find a leader with believes in xbox and can walk that line of also being a 3p publisher with some of its games. Instead they are putting games on other consoles and continue to do things that diminish Xbox. They all need to be fired.
Infact. Let me run xbox
. It would be a massacre in that board room meeting. Only the devs would be safe.
