When xbox comes back to win the 9th Generation.
10 years ago today, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One in what must be the worst console press conference of all time
- Thread starter Return of the Jedi
- Start date
Pull Up the Roots
I have a good time when I go out of my mind..
I remember this, but I forgot they only showed that fake Forza video, some EA sports shyt and Call of Duty. A brand new console reveal with such a pathetic amount of new games is crazy.
Yeah, I recall. But really they were buoyed those first few years by being the first mass-market blu-ray player.
Console wars were always a cyclical process where the leader in market share fumbles the ball (Nintendo refusing to move to discs for the N64, Sony charging too much for the PS3, etc) and the competition catches up as a result..up until this last gen, where Microsoft fumbled after hitting parity with Sony (in the west anyways), allowing Sony to run away and never look back

I distinctly remember a game journalist asking one of the Xbox people why there wasn't an option a Kinect-less Xbox One because there was no reason for it to be mandatory, and the response was something like, "OH SO YOU KNOW BETTER THAN US??!!"

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
Yes. Watching this car crash shambles of a show is still entertaining a decade later.SSN BACK AT IT AGAIN
Brehs have seen births and deaths, lost old puss and gained new strange, seen 3 presidents. Yet when somebody says TV, TV, TV I think Xbox.
I live in the US where xbox and playstation have always had parity.
If selling 68 million consoles is a failure to you then you're just trolling.
Either way, I'm up from 38 to 300 a share on my MS stock since the release of the xbox one

Wow, I never saw this before. Christ.
Parity has been gone for a decade bro. PS4 outsold the Xbox 2-to-1 in North America and early numbers are trending in the same direction this generation. It got so bad Microsoft stopped reporting XB1 sales.I live in the US where xbox and playstation have always had parity.

Of course MS stock has had a great decade, they're like one of the top 3 drivers of technological innovation. They're arguably the most important company in human history. They just shyt the bed with this console.

Microsoft tend to have big ideas but fumble them.
Zune, better than the iPod in many ways but failed in image and marketing. Also had Zunepass which was a precursor to Spotify. They could've own the streaming market but killed off the product when the zune died.
Windows Phone, great hardware let down by lack of apps.
Game pass is a great idea but going day and date will hurt it.
The kinect and all what was promised in terms of media were good ideas poorly executed and presented. I bet brehs complaining about always on have now got Alexa or a smart TV.
Sometimes MSFT are too early for their ideas to become palatable to the masses.
MSFT cloud computing, Microsoft Office, Windows and services are the money makers of the company and keep going to make profit.
