A plea for Phil Spencer and MS to reconsider their position on an XBox handheld, and why doing so could allow them to create problems for their console competitors. An opinion piece by Agasicles Stamas, editor for GamersSphere.com.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The last time i heard anybody talk about a Xbox handheld was when the Nintendo DS & PSP came out. Everyone just automatically assumed that since Microsoft was still sort of a newcomer to gaming industry that they were gonna just gonna follow suit and directly compete with Sony & Nintendo in the handheld market. I don't see them entering that market and even if they did they wouldn't be successful. Nintendo owns that market and always will.
I don't know what to make of this.Ms doesn't need a handheld for now and besides Nintendo will be really hard to compete with in that market as their handhelds have reigned supreme in every generation..I don't think MS should bother about that now imo they need to put all their focus on the xbox one.
Phil is right.releasing a handheld wouldn't be a wise deceision.
handheld halo would be great.
A handheld would be a massive failure.
I would buy it in a heart beat. I just hope it doesnt turn into a gameless machine and actually be worth the hype. Unlike the Vita.
