MS mgmt sucks so bad they couldn't even pull off their Sarah Bond fall girl announcement. Now people might actually be upset at their godking Phil fathead Spencer.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Doesn't look like that at all. You're almost overdosing on hopium and copium.

What a trailer that was!
These were the glory days. They were on fire back then and a great machine, even though I went through 3 360s due to RROD. Fond memories of the 360 and playing COD in to the small hours on Xbox live.

I'm interested in hearing

thoughts ....
All these excuses and more ..... I just can't wait to see how Phill will spin this now. Wouldn't be surprised if Sarah Bond is the one to deliver the final blow and Phil announces his retirement and rides off into the sunset

thoughts ....- Xbox doesn't need to charge $70
- Gamepass only needs Xbox and Pc to grow
- Xbox doesn't care about console sells
- A Series S and X strategy will not hurt next gen
- Redfall was just a over sight
- "this year will be different"

I remember being at a friends house in 2000 (or ‘99?) reading a copy of Games Master magazine and seeing a little box with a story about a rumour that Microsoft was going to enter the console market.
Ah well.

My guess is that they go with the leaked all digital console and will do so going forward and some "1st party" games will release 1st on it and Gamepass, but everything they have will eventually be available elsewhere.
Digital only Xbox will be much cheaper to mass produce allowing for a lower cost entry point.

Phil used no exclamation points in that post. I think that says the rest.

They're whole lot of nothing, waiting a week for inevitable, is better than their games.

Man, those were the days. Honestly seeing that makes me want to go home and replay the old trilogy right now.

I'll be honest, in a way I feel bad for Phil. Clearly the decisions have been made and the Xbox bosses likely wanted to control the timing and narrative of the announcements to mitigate the backlash. But now there's a million fires from leaks and no amount of control will fix the damage done (and will continue to do for another week). If he confirms them, he's going to get blasted. If he backpedals, he's going to get blasted. Trust is completely evaporated. It's a pretty shit situation to be in all around.

Wrong way around -- if they were not going third party, he would come out and level some assurances to fans and everyone else that all this is BS. Being intentionally vague and referring to a big business event leans it closer to being the opposite, that what we're hearing is the truth. Microsoft going third party would be the biggest news in this industry in 20 years since Sega did, it won't be dropped in a tweet, lol.

I think if any of the current rumors were that outlandish, he would have had at least some specific refutations of them. But there were no refutations or corrections.
