Has Phil Spencer/Microsoft spent a single dollar on Xbox console marketing this year?

It's not like they have a stock shortage. They have both consoles in stock fairly regularly at major retailers.

I don't recall seeing a single TV commercial, billboard, youtube ad...nothing for Xbox.

Phil Spencer recently admitted that they lose $100-$200 per console, he said they peaked on console Game Pass subs, they continue to fumble its biggest franchise, they are going a whole calendar year without releasing any notable games for it.

[Kanye voice] Phil Spencer doesn't care about the Xbox console gamer experience [\Kanye voice]

The writing is on the wall.

If Microsoft doesn't care about Xbox, why should we?

Looks like they will aggressively chase growth sectors of PC and cloud where its a numbers game and exclusives don't matter as much.

seen plenty of ads for GamePass

I've also seen Series S and PS5 in stores, but never a Series X

I hope Starfield is a decent game for everyone's sake
Yeah as a sci fi fan I’m really hedging my bet. I’m copping a Xbox when this drops I’m praying this extra time is used to polish the game because we all know how their games are on n release
