Xbox is a great case study where bad leadership's can destroy the entire brand
From market leaders with 360 to falling back and now almost irrelevant in 2 gens.
If brain dead people were running Xbox they would've run it better than don matick and Phil Spencer.

Don Matrick was send out to capture the living room. His tenure was really short, just a few years. But they did deliver exclusives back then.
Xbox one launch period, had games that are still talked about.
They got the newest game from the makers of COD, titanfall.
- Titanfall
- Ryse of Rome
- Killer instinct
- Sunset overdrive
Something changed after Don left, wonder what it was

The fact people thought they may not be coming to Xbox is part of the problem.

Yes, marketing is so petty....
You guys want to attack Xbox no matter what they do, and it does not make sense. Them tweeting out what games are also coming to their platform is not petty, it is informing people. No issue with Sony or Nintendo doing it as well. These events almost never show what other platforms the third-party games will be on. The big, AAA games from from Ubi, EA, and others, you usually know they are going to other platforms. But the other smaller, third-party games can be a crapshoot if they are or not.
I do not see this as petty, but simple marketing. They know people are watching the State of Play and will get excited about these games. Of course you want them to know they will be on your platform as well.

Great customer service.They even updated the tweet after some thought Lunar wasn't coming to Xbox.
So nice of them.
I was among those wondering about this specific game.

People are also forgetting that the usuals, and Sony themselves, were on Twitter informing people that xyz was also releasing on PlayStation after the last Xbox showcase

Show me where Sony does the same pettiness in tweets within minutes after a show. You can't, they just share them 24 to 48 hours later after the slimy platform things™ gag order, and make no mention in a warring nature such as this. Stop making up SonyToo stories.People are also forgetting that the usuals, and Sony themselves, were on Twitter informing people that xyz was also releasing on PlayStation after the last Xbox showcase

The ones being trolled are you and certain other individuals in this thread - which is evident from your reactions.

We'll get more great tweets about stuff tomorrow morning once their TGS stream is over, while other channels could be as slow as 48 hours to report the same thing.
They do a great job letting people know things on-time.

You're missing the irony that Xbox during their own showcases have embargos on third party games where publishers are not allowed to announce them for other platforms for 24-48 hours. Poor Xbox being attacked.

There's no pettiness in the Xbox tweet though? Just the usual dumbass hurr hurr we're relatable marketing gibberish everyone does.

Yeah, their marketing does suck. This is true.

I think most people would agree that it does and is a far cry from the 360 days.

They are coming to PlayStation too so not sure what kind of sales pitch they try to make here?

If you yourself create contracts with embargoes for your shows, yet you tweet out fake nice reminders when you are the on the other side.
You don't see the hypocrisy in that?

It was that 1 e3 where Xbox lost the entire gen in that hour.Don Matrick was send out to capture the living room. His tenure was really short, just a few years. But they did deliver exclusives back then.
Xbox one launch period, had games that are still talked about.
They got the newest game from the makers of COD, titanfall.

Kinect kinect kinect mandatory online and Xbox one never really recovered from that disaster.
Same in Phil's case promised games for like 5 years and when the games actually started coming they made sure you don't need an Xbox

So, yeah, that is a bit strange, yes. If that same embargo applies to Sony, who isn't able to do the same thing MS is, then yes, definitely hypocritical of Microsoft. Otherwise, it just looks a bit silly because had it been exclusive to a Sony platform, it would have been announced as such.

The fact that it has to be explained to some of you is the real comedy.For a brand that is almost dead.... I had no ideia that a simply tweet could trigger so many people

Halo 3’s launch felt like a huge event at the time. I remember grabbing it early morning on launch day and playing the hell out of it for weeks until RROD broke the streak.
I think that launch was the peak moment in Xbox history.
Compared to Xbox today it feels like a lifetime ago, for some people on this forum it probably was.

"Some of you" is this a cult talking or what?? Lolol
What the hell are you talking about...
There is something wrong if people take serious the tweets of consoles brands... specially when they use bait like this.

Who the hell is taking it seriously? People are rightly calling out their hypocrisy.

Lmao. No wonder Xbox is in the state they are in. Instead of demanding better of them, or even supporting games by buying them, their cultists (no other way to put it if you're still onboard the Titanic at this point in its sinking, claiming all is well) brag about triggering PS fans with tweets.
Sorry, but the truth is the rest of the gaming community is laughing at you and Xbox with their pathetic #metoo tweets. Not only does it reek of desperation, they've basically sunken to the level of a jealous high school girl.

I think this ends up highlighting the games they are not getting, that I assumed were multiplats. Cause they don’t mention the exclusivity in the state of play.
