Those games need to be good first tho.
No reason to think they'll be any better than they have been so far.

Xbox Studios, Bethesda, Activision and Blizzard are all in terrible shape. These Xbox exec's arent the ones that are going to fix this situation, the challenges they are facing now are just a much bigger version of the things they have failed at repeteadly for over a decade.

So far all they have done is attempt to milk estabilished franchises with very questionable success.

Yep. and once you look at Xbox´s track record running studios/IPs...😬.

They either stagnate or decrease in quality. The most recent example of this is Ninja Theory with Bleeding Edge and HB2.

As we been saying since December. Xbox is 3rd party publisher that just so happens to have a console.

I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as most make it out to be, they grew 80 billion dollars bigger, and had to adjust accordingly. Thinking that this was all about Xbox was very naive, they wanted to breakthrough the entire industry.

For now, with the lineup of consoles they showed up today they'll be out of the market in no time. No way that having all these SKUs with poor value in the market is a profitable business in any way.

The worse thing about Xbox business rigth now is that Gamepass is already decreasing in size so it's all dependent of how CoD will boost their subscribers count, if that fails they have nothing left to try.
