Stadia held out the promise of being able to separate the hardware needed to play a game at high resolution and frame rate from the hardware on which players play. The powerful servers in Google’s data centers would do the heavy technical lifting and 4K 60 fps games would be streamed to TVs, PCs, laptops, tablets and phones. The ability to stream technically advanced games to any device was Stadia’s key selling point and the basis for the dream that in the not-so-distant future games with technical demands that no home device could hope to match could be streamed and enjoyed at home.
That was the promise, the reality is different. Given the compute power in Google’s data centers, it was expected that Stadia would at least match the resolutions displayed by the Xbox One X. But that’s not what’s happening. Stadia’s 4K stream frequently falls short of the resolution seen on the One X
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.

Well thats nice considering Ive heard it consistently performs worse when it really shouldn't.
Now if only Lenovo would do the same for the legion go
Expectations? Interesting word.
It's actually really good...not sure what people are talking about..I have used X Cloud and PS Now and this is miles better...and only the first week...give it a break...sooo many hit pieces on something thats actually good
Its called bandwidth.
I had low expectations from the beginning and therefore everything is playing out as expected. Sony and ms will do these services better (ms already is on track with a superior product) - but most importantly, these will be features on say ms, they’ll still have Scarlett as their main Xbox draw. stadias primary features are available as secondary bonus features on gen9. That seems like a problem cuz the infrastructure just isn’t there to support a main product. That’s why it’s failed in the past. Technical problems are only the beginning of what’s wrong with stadia tho.
Yeah, physics.
