It’s so true how bad marketing is. It’s probably also because I grew up on the halo 3 Burger King days, you couldn’t go anywhere without being hyped tf up for halo games.

Welcome and thank you!

The issue affected PS5 as well and they are doing much better. The problems with xbox are systemic and all emcoposing from management to the image of the brand with younger generations. There is a lot you can point to why xbox is failing but scalping and limited supplies early on while a contributing factor is not why they are failing.

This is true and affected ps5 but ps5 sales have dominated Xbox significantly and a lot of that is because like Nintendo you associate it with consistently good quality games. Xbox is constantly trying to reinvent itself when it should stop trying to compete with Sony and try to carve itself as its own ecosystem like it is. But they need more patience it’s not going to happen over night like they want.

As someone who has always been a PlayStation guy I respectfully disagree. The 360 was an amazing console. A much better console than PS3 and I loved my PS3 at the time. The system itself was nowhere near as good. I’m talking the system not games BTW.

@@Oneil1570 You can disagree all you like based on personal opinion but I am not using personal opinion. I am using hardware specs. The PS3 was a superior system to the 360... the PS3 CPU had 7 CORES to the 360s 3 cores. These two are not even comparable and the CPU was an embarrassment for Microsoft. The PS3s GPU had DEDICATED memory. The 360s had SHARED system memory. While the eDram did give the 360 a bandwidth advantage, it lacked the clear general performance of the PS3 that comes with dedicated memory. The above shows Microsofts lack of understanding of how consoles work...shit, it does not even make sense on a PC. Now the ram...the PS3 had XDR ram that was far faster and efficient while the 360 was using already outdated DDR3...that was SHARED. Hell even the flipping storage was far superior in the PS3 with its 2.5 SATA that was faster AND had more storage PLUS was 100% UPGRADABLE while Microsoft tried to lock theirs down to FUCK OVER their customers by trying to make them have to buy an entire new system with more storage capability... Well wait, how about the disc driver, surely Microsoft can get the win here right? Not even close. The PS3 had a Blu-ray drive and the 360 had an HDD. HDDs spun single layers much faster but had 1/4th the storage space and a dual layer disc had no advantage so the 360 could not even have the largest games the PS3 could on a single disc and the 360 had no ability to also be the movie player everyone wanted. Lastly. The 360 had mostly games in 720p while the PS3 was 1080 all the way...Microsoft could not even get that right even though 1080p had been THE standard for years before its release... Microsoft could not even match them on the audio front either. PS3 had 7.1 surround while the 360 was sporting a decade old Pro-logic II. So long. PS3 wins on all fronts.

@@thomasjones4570 I don’t care about the specs. PS3 was notorious for being difficult to use. Yeah it was powerful but developers defaulted to 360 because of ease of use and sales. Also, I had both PS3 and 360 at the time. updating and downloading on PS3 was horrendously slow. This is not hyperbole but easily proven facts. As someone who preferred my PS3 for the games the 360 was a better machine by far. Power is not the whole story of a console. You can live in your delusion all you like. Have a good day.

@@Oneil1570 So you say you are not talking about the games because the games were obviously better on the PS3. Now that you were shown the hardware is better, you are not talking about the hardware specs. Now...its "use". You literally have nothing and are just shit posting because your new argument also holds no water and cannot be proven. it CAN however be proven wrong. The PS3 outsold the Xbox not only in units sold, but game copies sold. There was no "companies defaulted to 360" bullshit. There are a grand total of ZERO games that were on both systems that sold more copies on the 360 than the PS3. In fact of the top 10 selling 360 games the CLOSEST the 360 came to selling as well as the PS3 was Grand Theft Auto 5. 22.95 million copies on the 360... compared to the 29.95 million on the PS3 I mean, that is only a difference of about $300,000,000.00 in sales for Rockstar Games...but yeah, go on tell yourself they DEFAULTED to 360... Just post that YOU liked the 360 more and move on...trying to prop up a personal opinion with lies is double moronic and makes you extremely pathetic.

The original xbox was like 3 times more power than the ps2.

Also, keep in mind the Xbox Gold subscription is $10. Xbox gamepass ultimate is like what 15-20? It's by far worth it to people who play on xbox, not so much on pc.

@@thenassim3512thank you for the comment! And true I think overall Xbox isn’t going to lose that many subscribers especially for console players because the value is too good when you can’t trust if a game will be good or not. And I really don’t think they’ve been losing money I think they’re just seeing the profits not rising enough VS the amount they had to dish out on the acquisition. But yeah I think cloud is their future which honestly would be crazy cool being able to boot up games almost seamlessly without worry of hardware and storage space.

Probably good for consumer because ultimately all digital will happen anyway. Gamepass has been the best bang for your buck gaming wise for the past 8 years coming from someone who has all the platforms no fanboy ish
