I love watching two people who don't play games talk about solving the problem they are paid so much money to not relate to.

Her responses were terrible. Nothing but word salad.
Xbox as a brand is dead.

u/comfybonfire May 10 '24
I don’t understand why anyone would choose to buy an xbox at this point

u/StratagemScribbler May 10 '24
Exactly. Xbox execs basically said they don't care about hardware sales, and their actions prove it. If they don't care, then why should anyone care?

Game Pass, acquisition of Activision Blizzard and therefore potential perks around their games, Xbox Play Anywhere. I mean, there are reasons I think.

Gamepass, best Controller, really cheap, that's why I got the series x anyway

u/UnpopularThrow42 May 10 '24
When you say cheap do you mean the series s?

u/poingypoing May 10 '24
I mean series x is the best bang for the buck in terms of performance and price, sure the series s is cheaper but it's also kinda shit (only digital, 30 fps and whatnot), I had a series s and sold it to get the series x

in my experience ps+ has been pretty good with their offering. they don’t have day 1 releases but they got a solid library

u/poingypoing May 10 '24
Can't really say one way or the other since I don't have a ps, but ye I know it's an unpopular opinion but for this Gen I chose the Xbox and I'm standing by it, we'll see when the next gen comes rolling what's up with what

Most corporate communications is nothing but word salad to please everyone

Going to sound like a sexist pig here but wtf is she doing as head of Xbox?
Does she truly know/ understand what Xbox is?

u/PinkyGrape May 10 '24
To be fair, she does have proper gaming background. There is much worse out there in key functions at publishers.
2
u/Engiie_90 May 10 '24
Fair enough, Just hard to see people in these positions with the sole purpose of profiting. No care to the actual fan base who pour hours of their lives and money into the products and games. Fans should have their feedback and voice heard all the way to the top and then from the top, take note & go from there.
Totally understand and appreciate that we cannot have it all, but even if they made an effort to show that they are listening and start to give us more of what we ask for and not what they think we want.
Hard to know anymore
2
u/PinkyGrape May 10 '24
Yeah. I feel you. Words do not match actions. It rarely does feel real. Studios do more than often care about what gamers want but publishers are far from it.

u/poingypoing May 10 '24
Why do you assume she doesn't know?
2
u/Engiie_90 May 10 '24
I made no assumptions at all, I was asking if she is even fit for the job, as in, does she even know or care about the brand and direction/ understand the fans and community
2
u/StratagemScribbler May 10 '24
How can people trust anything this team says any more? Xbox execs have ruined the brand.
2
u/Qbert2k May 11 '24
So they went with diversity over a white guy that would push great games out? I’m all for diversity but this bimbo couldn’t “um yeah” her way out of the park
2
u/NowLoadingReply May 10 '24
Corporate speak.
Actions speak louder than words. We all know Xbox is dying, no matter her word salad.
2
u/Jazzyjeffrey22 May 10 '24
Xbox is done for. Thanks for not giving a shit about the fans or the devs! And we appreciate the complete bullshit answer you gave us! Can’t wait to blow my brains out to these god awful games coming to game pass now 🫠

Man, they should not let her do interviews. That was 17 minutes of yeah, you know, non answers.
