Amazing specs, buying up new developers, lowering load times, and whatever else.

Do you?

No

The only reason the 360 was even a thing was because the PS3 launched at $600

PS3 exclusives sucked. Yay, God of War, a dime-a-dozen beat 'em up, which I can't believe is even still an existence genre. And hits like Haze and Resistance, remember how good those were? Me neither.

I honestly can't name a single first party title for Xbox outside of Halo, so they definitely need more of those if they want purchases.

I think they've got a really good foundation for next gen with their focus on Game Pass

GamePass is amazing. That alone makes it worth it.

I think they might actually get rid of the gold subscription and make online free and just have GamePass.

If it's priced lower than the PS5 it'll probably do really well.

They are much more gamer friendly than Sony. I own a pro but seriously, fuck Sony.

Tbqh I hope it flops so Microsoft has no choice but to officially partner up with Nintendo in order to remain competitive in the market. Like, Microsoft manufactures the consoles with Nintendo's direction, and they combine IPs on it.

It's like my biggest video game wet dream.

I do they have Sony beat at everything except exclusives right now.

Superior UI
Better hardware
Faster and more secure network and online infrastructure
Gamepass
Integrated social hubs for games and matchmaking for groups for all games

They seem to have dropped the gimmicks like kinect if they focus on games their good

Turn its fortunes around? Do you mean crash and burn? Because currently Microsoft is the highest valued company (recently surpassing Amazon).

Not a bad scenario really despite my qualms with MS and especially Nintendo.

i hope not.

they might begin to think their console business becomes hot shit again and go back to ditching PC and/or trying to rope 3rd parties under their wing yet again for PC releases(gfwl).

not like the detrimental effects would stop there either since it would also serve in console gamers' best interest to keep MS at the bottom unless they already forgot how MS wanted to release the xbone with a strict no used games online check drm as well as shoving kinect down everybody's throat.

the best place for MS to be is in the "just enough to be profitable" category.
