I will reiterate the wise advice of @Gamernyc78 .
If someone is getting on your nerves, just use the ignore option.

just kill Xbox altogether, Microsoft would be so much strong in Gaming if they were a third party publisher, it's not good to limit your games to a failed console gamers DON'T WANT to buy just because a few fanboys on twitter would get mad, Xbox is not in the casual mind since what? 2012/2013? it's not going to change and acquisitions proved that, despite them acquiring 2 publishers, releasing games like Hi-Fi Rush and Starfield, all they saw was console sales drop
What is funny is that even their biggest fanboys also don't want to buy it. They use all sorts of tricks not to pay for games, $1 conversion, $1 trials, Eneba and even have a Series S instead of a Series X.
So back on topic... all of this feels like a sea change moment for Microsoft. The fact that they're taking so long to craft a response probably means they actually had to scrap a lot of their medium and long term plans just recently, it actually really does feel like Starfield was the straw that broke the camel's back and CoD underselling projections made Satya step in and finally cut all of Phil's bullshit out.
You're right, I have a better solution.
One thread banned issued and we can go for more. Let's leave this petty nonsense behind. Thnk you all.
don't worry. Phil is a visionary.Xbox is so healthy that they are getting out of the physical media business on their strongest market.
franchises like Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable would FINALLY see the 10 million copies sold mark on Switch 2 and PlayStation 4/5, these games don't see that amount of sales since the 360 days, i can only imagine how frustrated these developers feel not seeing their games sell, not receiving bonuses, how frustrated Insomniac felt of Sunset Overdrive only making 500 dollars in profit, imagine how Remedy feel about Quantum Break, or Crytek about Ryse, i mean, it's not worth it anymore, specially now that they have 30+ studios, limit these games to that failed box when it comes to native console gaming is only going to lead to more layoffs long term
Curious to see how she's going to spin this in a way that makes the zealots feel like they're winning.
Starfield was definitely the water shed moment when it failed to move hardware or subs / player retention.
Activision Acquisition brought a huge spotlight from shareholder's on the gaming segment from Shareholder's, which got Satya involved and had be out on TV bluffing his way through stuff he had no idea what he talking about but had to sell it to his overlords.
Satya and others are looking for returns now, they gave them their blank checks and nothing is changing especially after the disastrous holiday season sales.
at the end of the day, Phil Spencer will be known for killing Rare, killing Lionhead, and killing Xbox, everything this man touches turns into dust, and despite all of that, he still receives promotions, it's unbeliavable
i can already see: "we always said we wanted to create a world without boundries, a world where you have more options to play the games you want, with the people you want, on the devices that you want, wether is a PlayStation, a Nintendo or an Xbox, we will continue to support both because when everybody plays, we all win"
Satya Nadella: So Phil, after more than $80B spent on acquisitions, years in the red with us aggressively investing on Gamepass and Xbox, what do you have to show for it?
Phil Spencer: Xbox Series is selling less than Xbox One and on a downwards trajectory, Xbox is unprofitable everywhere, cloud isn't taking off, Gamepass is stagnant, we have no significant presence on PC, Starfield flopped, Call of Duty didn’t top the yearly sales charts for the first time since 2009, we canceled the long awaited Blizzard new IP and fired their leadership and our direct competitors are all doing better than ever. As you can see, I saved Xbox.

My god. Phil is uploading this exact speech into Sarah Bond AI chip.
