They really do seem dead-set on transitioning to a software rental company. Let the hardware languish and shove another tier of Game Pass into the marketing grinder.

Well… could it be that they saturated?

I mean, the consoles been out for a while, I suspect at this point everyone remotely interested has one?

optissima ,

That’d make sense, but that’s still a negative sign, as PS5/Switch have yet to meet saturation.

Because no one wants a console with ads, has no gyro aiming, strange support for older Xbox/games.

Thatuserguy ,

Maybe don’t close the studios making your only good games next time? Dunno, just a thought

This was the reason I left. Don’t fire your flagships.

It’s one of those pieces of advice like “Don’t lie on the ground naked next to a fire ant colony” but I guess some people really are that stupid.

They could stop charging gamers a subscription to play the paid games (they “own”) online.

This could attract some customers that don’t want to deal with PC or don’t want to add fixed costs to their monthly or yearly bill.

This is one of the key reasons why I own PS5, but I don’t play or invest in it. Even though couch gaming is much more comfortable for me.

To be fair I don’t think I’ve seen good things about Micro$oft in years. I’m honestly not surprised.

I’m not surprised. My experience with Xbox has declined over the last few years now so wouldn’t recommend it to anyone anymore.

What has changed if you don’t mind?
