Forza and Starfield made zero impact.

[Crows90]

We all knew they wouldn't make any impact. Only Xbox fans had those hopes. They refuse to believe that they are far far below the other competitors despite Phil Spencer stating the same

[jznrpg]

Damn 5-1 ratio in PS5’s favor.

Xbox Series S/X declines in the third year and loses more ground to Xb1 which is considered the worst Xbox console. That is just bad no matter how you spin it.

[Hofstaderman]

Waiting for the usual XBOX ambassadors and their multiple accounts. Their mental gymnastics are worthy to be included as case studies in the DSM V and other psychopathology literature.

[ocelot07]

Nah, he won't be in here any time soon. It's to negative and not a single positive to point out. Patiently waiting for a Phill Spencer says piece or a Sony employee has left their job piece to comment on.

[RupeeHoarder]

They won't comment on this one. Just pretend prediction numbers from Windows Central

[andy85]

@heje I've literally seen this exact comment posted by 3 different accounts within a couple of days. And 3 instant likes on the comment. If you're gonna use multiple accounts to try and push a narrative at least be more discreet about it 😂😂

[ziggyzinfirion]

@Heje
If your going to post that, at least have the audacity to use your real account instead of hiding like a coward on a newly created account. The fact that you needed to create a new account everytime you need to respond and vote up your own comment using your other accounts is just.. sad.

[ironmonkey]

Those usual guys prob dont play Xbox, prob not even good at gaming as well.

[repsahj]

It looks like the series X/S will get the XB1 title of worst Xbox ever. XD

[ocelot07]

How is the Xbox selling so badly compared to the much worse Xbox one at this point in its life cycle? Series S/X life has not been bad tbh. The Xbox one was dog s***.

My guess is Microsoft did so bad last gen a lot of their fan base left and got a ps5. Don't blame them tbh.

[RupeeHoarder]

I definitely think the sales numbers is the lack of confidence in the brand at this point. They burned alot of people the last 7+ years.

[shinoff2183]

Most people I know with an xbox over ps , had one while they were younger bought by parent/s as a 1st console. Like an xbox og or 360 or their fake fk yea only buy America everything. Those fk yea buy only America people I usually like to ask them where their socks and shoes are made.

You take away 20 to 30 percent of those sales and you get 50 to 60 million which is about where xbox seems to sit. So it would add up right on.

[Crows90]

So Xbox and Microsoft have a way of inflating their numbers and making things seem better than they actually are. For instance they claim so much success on the Xbox 360 era but refuse to acknowledge how many of the Xbox 360s sold where a response to the red rings. I had to get another Xbox because even after they supposedly fixed it they f***** up other aspects

[RupeeHoarder]

I counted as 3 Xbox 360's lol.

[shinoff2183]

It's said rrod could of been as high as 33 percent. What they sell 86 million 360s. We're they counting warranty replacements as sold. I wouldn't be surprised, this the same company who instead of sales gives us how many hours someone did misc things in game

[ThePacemaker]

Where are the toxic Xbox Ambassadors?

Yeah they are very busy gloating in one of the posts that say “Harry Krueger” departs first party Housemarque 🤦🏻‍♂️

[ChasterMies]

Holy bejeebus, Xbox is going extinct in Europe.

[Crows90]

You have to have a presence in order to not be considered extinct....Xbox doesn't have a presence in most of Europe. It is by most accounts already extinct.

[Jingsing]

So we are 10+ years into the Phil Spencer tenure and he still isn't stepping down? competitors have already had multiple executives come and go in similar positions so why is he still hanging around? Failing managers are supposed to step aside and let someone else with a fresh vision guide the company. You had two good attempts to get a win and didn't you can't just keep hanging around forever like a bad smell thinking the next generation will be the one.

But seriously pretty much all major executives in this industry have stepped down from major company positions as they knew it was time but Phil just wants to hang around forever.

[Chocoburger]

But Sony and Nintendo love having Phailure Phil hang around! I'm sure they're glad he hasn't been replaced yet!

[gold_drake]

damn, xbox is dropping hard and fast.

[S2Killinit]

Thats 6 to 1 for PlayStation! 😳

[SimpleSlave]

Since Microsawft has been trying buying everything under the sun and for some reason allowed to do so, the best case scenario for gamers is for them to drop the XBOX console and go full Third Party.

I'm all for the console space to be made up by Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Panasonic, Phillips and Atari.

Let's go!

[Crows90]

I'm content with Nintendo and Sony. It's already pretty much like that and has been so for the last 2 generations...wouldn't change much other than stopping further Xbox shenanigans.
