Say what you will about Xbox misses. They were never a “whatever” company. And Phil Spencer is a gamer at his core who always wanted to make great games.

It was very simple…they stopped making games, stopped making exclusives and didn’t focus their attention on gamers

They made baffling choices buying the studios they bought. Bethesda is in the toilet and Starfield was an embarrassment. Blizzard is the only hope and MS is too greedy to focus on single player experiences which would boost console sales

They keep buying great IP and game studios and then just closing them down doing them nothing with them. They have single-handedly been destroying the game industry just to obliterate anything it deems as competition

PlayStation and Nintendo have absolutely wiped the floor with them in terms of exclusive games. There genuinely hasn’t been a must-play exclusive for Xbox in over a decade.

calling online play "unpopular' in 2001 is like calling Britney Spears unpopular in 1992.

343 Studios ruined Halo. Bungie had it on lock!

The brief answer is no; I doubt they can stage a comeback, particularly while Game Pass exists in its current form with day 1 releases I’ll say no.

Microsoft cannibalized their own business with Game Pass. I had full access to that for years because they offered players the chance to upgrade their existing memberships for just $1. People were paying a single buck to get Game Pass access for 3+ years!

If only gaming companies could find an executive that actually played video games. Unfortunately, gaming is so extremely rare, where could you even find someone like that.

all they have to do is make good to great Xbox exclusive games. that's the biggest issue it faces for the average gamer and a hardcore one. I have this Xbox but nothing exciting to play
