Bro if you weren't interested in the brand then you sure are not interested in the brand now....@@Pswayze23 I've been with the Xbox brand for 21 yrs. And I'm always interested in what's next for Xbox.
Given the cost of living all the world at the moment and with increased prices of a gaming console. Gaming has taken a back seat for many!!! Most families have to choose what leisure’s are more important over others. Share holders and investors have to accept that times have changed and will only get worse before they improve.
Why do people in these comments get pissed about more controllers? Do yall think if they didn’t make some of these controllers that there would somehow be more games? Because that’s not how it works lol
This episode is absolutely amazing. So much knowledge from all Ryan, Destin and Paris. See how much better this podcast is without Stella. Please remove Stella permanently from podcast unlocked. She has knowledge in other areas but she doesn’t belong on a Xbox podcast. Great show everyone.
Hardware is not a focus, doesn't mean it isn't relevant. It becomes just one portal for access. It still makes sense to create hardware. 23:45 the Series X and the PS5 have been on sale at Wal-Mart and Amazon and such within the last month.
The gen alpha argument is weak. They play mobile games on phones and tablets but the big actual video game games are played on consoles or pc. Why did the mobile ports of re2 and 7 sell like 5 thousand units if ppl just want games on their phones?
Exactly. The desire to play AAA games on mobile devices is near non-existent, just like the desire to play Candy Crush on console is near non-existent. Hardware has never really been the barrier to entry for gaming Xbox believes it to be, it's all in the games. The only thing that can convert a non-gamer to gaming is coming up with new games that offer something that hasn't been offered before already.
People can barely afford food right now. Let alone a console thats $500+. What do you expect? You raise prices people choose whats important and buying a console isn't important when you have to put food on the table.
@danissary Nintendo Switch Lite is $150, Regular switch is $250 and The Switch OLED is $350. It doesn't hurt nintendo because of their price point. Sony is hurting they lowered their console projection 3 times this year. They consoles aren't selling either. Nintendo Consoles are cheaper and have better games. Sony is hurting hints all the layoffs.
@@illestReason Yet the Switch OLED, which costs more than an Xbox Series S, accounted for 60% of their units sold last year and the Lite only 16%. PS5 sold 40% more units than all Switches did combined that same year despite being more expensive, and is selling in line with the PS4. Sony adjusted their forecast because they had a very ambitious target of 25m consoles sold in one year but still ended up selling like 21m consoles. The year before that they actually outsold their projections by 1m. These things fluctuate, what matters in the end is the results and they've sold almost 60m PS5s. The idea that it's "not selling" is ridiculous and totally removed from reality and the data. Meanwhile Xbox hasn't even reached 30m units sold despite having a $300 entry-level model that's frequently discounted. It's tracing behind the already poor results of the Xbox One, let alone its competitors. And it's only going to get worse. It's very clear only one console manufacturer has trouble selling their hardware and it has nothing to do with the cost of these machines and the cost of living.
@@_theduckofdeath_ earning report arrived, they sold 61m+ consoles so far. Still outselling the Switch every quarter, unlike Xbox Series. Only slightly behind the PS4 LTD despite having had a price hike instead of price drop. Again, price is not the problem here. If anything price sensitivity would benefit Xbox more than PlayStation because they have the Series S. PS5 is the best selling console every month despite being the most expensive. The truth is that Xbox’ woes are just that: Xbox’ woes. It’s not an industry-wide phenomenon like Phil Spencer would like you to believe. Nintendo and Sony are able to sell their consoles just fine.
Im sorry but halo is more IMPORTANT then doom and half this list. they have failed to keep it that level but for XBOX halo is still very important even if they keep failing with it
Xbox lost their way ten years ago. They haven’t realized that the fan base they cultivated during the 360 era grew up. Xbox just didn’t grow up with their fanbase. They still think people care about Gears and Halo and they clearly don’t. It’s not 2007 anymore. New players don’t care about these franchises and it’s stale to older fans.
That’s just not true, 😂 cause for the most part those games almost always sell really well, you are so wrong, across the industry, no new ip outsells established franchises consistently
@@Super_NoHero they dont, if they sold those games strictly on consoles like they did before those sales will plummet. their console sales are bad thats why they go to pc and now playstation
They are making new IP along with reviving/carrying on old IP. As for growing up, Sony released how many Spider-Man games in 5 years? Nintendo fans online will swear 80% of Switch owners are adults.
Whole lot of conflating Microsoft and Xbox in this video. Here's a tip, if a series, like Doom, releases day and date on Playstation then it means nothing to Xbox. It just doesn't, it moves the needle not at all for people debating what to buy.
@@StephenYuan after the price hike, its better to just buy the games, xbox doesnt release that much games to keep people subscribed. their first party line up this year is embarrassing
What really ruined Xbox is when their most popular homegrown IP like Halo (Bungie), Gears of War (Epic), and Fable (Lionhead) lost their original creators.
At this point if anyone is still deluding themselves into thinking that msft isn’t going fully 3rd party in a couple years or so, you really need help.
The sentiment "why are they still making hardware" makes me laugh. Because there are still 40+ million people that still prefer console apparently. The plan is to expand the market, not shrink it
Parris spoke about 1st party software. However, by putting games on PS5, xbox has no 1st party games. They are effetively a 3rd party software company that happens to make hardware. Hardware that doesn't sell.
If you’re going to talk about the fiscal year report why not also bring up the fact most casual gamers haven’t had reasons to upgrade until now. The Series S has been flying off the shelves the last few weeks because of College Football coming out. The more games that are current gen only that are must haves for the casual, the more people that will feel the need to upgrade.
You guys ignore that Nintendo games are not costly to make in comparison. NTM, the device is portable and targets children. First party games follow a cast model similar to Disney characters; Disney characters targeting the youngest audience possible audience.
43:54 ubiquitous Tango reference. Perhaps, without Shinji Mikami [sic] could Tango create a horror game? Oh, last but not least Humble Games anyone?😂 crickets chirping.
They should do a Halo tv show starting from the moment the first game started. Centre the show around Chief/Cortana, Johnson and Keyes all featuring in different storylines on the ring. Remember they are all split up for most of the game. The fall of reach could be shown in the form of flashbacks from the pov of the marines. Use a cgi model for cortana based on the Halo 2 anniversary look and use Alan Ritchson as Master Chief. You're welcome.
Doom, cod, halo, fable, Elder scrolls, fallout, pillars of eternity, wolfenstein, Spyro, crash, Tony hawk PS, WOW, Diablo, Forza, flight sim. And that’s not to mention the smaller franchises like State of decay, Outer Worlds, Perfect Dark, psychonauts. Not every game is a banger but no one else has as many hard hitting franchises 🤷♂️
Parris what are you doing on this Playstation fanboy site? Just listen to dustin Asking why are we having another xbox? Why didn't ign ask this question to nintendo After the nintendo wii u?
Microsoft IS focusing on software first.. Spencer SAID that multiple times. He stated they are not getting out of console hardware at all. Why’s this a discussion?
This was a great cast. Would love to see Parris on here more often
If we had more games than controller variants we would be seeing a much healthier Xbox generation...
More like quality over quantity games. My backlog is weighing heavy on me cos there's so many games! And Xbox Game Pass keeps dropping on em my head 🥹
Well if you were on PS5 this gen, you would have even less 😅
Apropos controllers...way to expensive for cheap plastic that doesn't function anymore after few months. Pathetic

Nostalgia seems like a desperate move for Xbox at this point. They have to reinvent themselves and show us why we should be interested in this brand

@@Pswayze23Getting new IP doesn't mean you can't also refresh the old core franchises.

Hardware was down 42% not 31%

Great conversations overall, and having Paris along with his insights and thoughts was nice to see this week! A solid episode overall 👏
Top notch crew this week
“It’s time for them to be held accountable” Who gets held accountable for Xbox then?
it should be Phil but "he's such a likable guy" so nobody wants to hold him accountable
Real dumb question
Isn't Phil Spencer the one in charge if not whoever actually in charge.
Nintendo was able to sneak in thier price increase by creating a Switch console with an OLED screen.
Xbox is not Nintendo.
@@TheKennyboy92 if you watch the video, they actually talk about Nintendo and Somy as well regarding price increases.
But didn’t Xbox hardware drop 42% this quarter, not 31%? Not sure when this was recorded
Yeah it’s 42%
Goated line up this week, Paris and Destin always have great takes
"open world uncharted" is the biggest positive you could sell me on for the game. Yes please!
McCaffery's eyebrows are something else
Phil Spencer should hire Ryan McCaffrey.
For what? To cuddle his ball while he plays?
Hardware is not a focus, doesn't mean it isn't relevant. It becomes just one portal for access. It still makes sense to create hardware. 23:45 the Series X and the PS5 have been on sale at Wal-Mart and Amazon and such within the last month.
It should be on Netflix as an animation like what they did with League of Legends
Watching this podcast post the Ubisoft collapse is interesting. Parris was right about Star Wars.
10 out of 10, you feel like a star wars
- ign
Paris, you're awesome! Fable deserves to be in the conversation. 1. Elder Scrolls, 2. Fable, 3. Fallout

Oof
Bad parenting
@@superbadisfunmy 🤣
Always enjoy Parris being on the show
At this point they should just give Halo to Infinity Ward. Just for one game, see how it goes
They will abandone Kaits story just like they abandoned Spartan Lockes story
Halo needs to have other studios do spin off games. 343 can do Chiefs story.
People can barely afford food right now. Let alone a console thats $500+. What do you expect? You raise prices people choose whats important and buying a console isn't important when you have to put food on the table.

Welcome to Official Negativity Podcast. Halo show was great, btw.
Destin was saying MS should cancel Xbox console hardware. IGN should cancel this show, posthaste!
The Halo show did need some work, though. 😄
Pretty sad state when the majority of Xbox’s “top franchises” are ABK franchises. 🤦♂️
Great episode Gentlemen.
Parris is awesome man, one of the best episodes in some time!
If PlayStation can’t slash prices for the hardware of course the projections change Xbox literally can’t sell the box .
