![]() Halo Infinite's campaign is my favourite campaign in a shooter bar Portal or Splatoon, and Halo the Master Chief Collection is my favourite shoorfer overall bar Splatoon. Forza Horizon 5 is my favourite racing game, perhaps my favourite game ever full stop, full of amazing scenery, tear-jerking writing and jaw-dropping, if a little stiff at times, gameplay. With that said, some of my favourite games are Xbox exclusives. I play Xbox because it's extremely convenient, has an extremely large library stretching back to the original Xbox, and even some N64 games, and of course, game pass. ![]() I use mine every day, but very rarely for Xbox exclusives. I actually think that the abismal start of Xbox One wasn't their lowest point nor the reason for the current situation. ![]() And that's probably a Microsoft and Satya decision, they will have to chose if Xbox keeps being a console and competition to Playstation, so they start actually competing, or it becomes just a gaming service and publisher. Sorry for the long post, it's just that I think the current Xbox division needs a change. Turning their console into a "rent machine" is better than trying to compete with Sony as they did in the 360 era. They also thought that buying studios is better than doing their own games. who cares? If it had had a great catalog, with a great Halo experience, a constant feed of innovative first party games, and great third party deals, people would be playing on Xbox One no matter what.īut no, they thought having a more powerful console with just a few games is a better idea. Xbox One was less powerful than PS4, but. They tried everything but focusing on the only thing that matters: games.Ī perfect example of this is the One X. They started buying studios, backwards compatibility, gamepass. Instead of focusing on feeding the Xbox One with lots of high quality games, they disappeared. Xbox had to fix that initial fiasco by making big decisions, and they did, but honestly, it was under Phil Spencer management when things went really wrong. They had those awful policies like the always online, not sharing games, and a bad E3 presentation, but it still looked promising with big games like Scalebound, and they came from the success of 360. Greenlight a new Banjo-Kazooie that will come to XBox and Switch and PC at a reasonable budget.Ĭlick to expand.I actually think that the abismal start of Xbox One wasn't their lowest point nor the reason for the current situation. Nintendo's own market research shows like 65%+ of Switch owners also own one of a XBox or Playstation console. games to come to Nintendo Switch, get Master Chief into Smash Brothers, aim to be the no.1 3rd party on the Switch and turn that 120+ million Nintendo fanbase into one that is more XBox friendly than Playstation friendly. Get celebrities in your commercials.ĥ.) Allow ports of older Halo, Forza, Killer Instinct, etc. Take a page out of Sega's playbook from the Genesis-SNES when they started to rip Nintendo openly and loudly. Also might as well pay for exclusive content while we're at it.ģ.) Start money hatting games that are close to completion, none of this "we bought studio XYZ but their first game won't be ready until 5 years from now".Ĥ.) Step up your marketing and attack Playstation directly, play up Game Pass as being a better deal than Sony's "rip off" $70 a pop pricing, etc. If I was running the division I would take the following steps to shake things up.ġ.) Forget the Activision sale, $70 billion just for them was always a bit over the top.Ģ.) Instead pay Activision a few billion (still gonna be a lot but less than the 70 billion) to have new COD titles come to Game Pass day 1. (I also feel a new Banjo/remake would be exclusive to PC and xbox for like a year then come to Nintendo due to said association cause of the amount who won't buy it there, mixed with them making more money if you buy from them so year of only there and not announced til like 2 months of exclusivity ending so people who would buy Nintendo if day 1 but will only buy once are taken, + people like me who'd buy it a 2nd/3rd time but this is way off topic) (want the box + more sales to signal we want Banjo to be a big deal) without actually buying a console, like in the timeline where you literally have to buy a Series X/S to play Banjo I don't know if I buy it but like the fact that's basically off the table, is it an issue and makes expanding variety not worth it since Nintendo esc gamers will just go to PC anyway? Real talk though, with making this point-is the PC and generally lack of exclusivity an issue? Admittedly this thread is very IP heavy so perhaps console sales don't matter, but like I'm in a position of being a big enough Banjo fan to buy it on PC and buy the physical Xbox version.
