The Deserved Downfall of Xbox 

This video is like a month late, which is why there may be some things in this video that may have aged a bit poorly now. Nevertheless, I felt like I still had enough good things to say in this video to make it worth uploading. So I hope you still enjoy the video regardless. As I stated at the end of the video, I'm going to step away from making these type of doomer "modern gaming bad" videos & go back to making more or less the same style of videos, but for topics about Nintendo. I personally get a lot more enjoyment & fulfillment from making those videos than I do with these types of videos. Anyways yeah, thanks for being cool, see ya in the next video! :P

You mentioned that zenimax had no relationship with Microsoft before the acquisition bruh were you alive when morrowwind and oblivion hit Xbox with Microsoft help?

Valve is the clear winner of this generation of games. Sony and Microsoft are literally giving their games to PC on a golden platter

This is a guy who clearly doesn't understand how a business works.

You said that those corporation get money from hardware sells, it's not true. Reason why those consoles are "cheap" is because they are always sold with a loss and then when you get into their closed system, they can charge you whatever they want, put behind a paywall whatever they want, that's how they get the money from games and subscriptions and why everyone gets easly fucked, cause they can't do shit, it's closed. The only one i could think is even close to selling consoles without a loss is Nintendo but maybe even Switch is with a loss... 100% not even close as much as Sony and Microsoft lose but still

I stopped taking this video seriously after he said that MS and Zenimax didn't have anything to do with each other before the acquisition.

I do have a slight bit more hope for the brands future after the insane showcase they had, arguably the best of the summer, but until we get proven results, I don't trust Microsoft to do anything right in the gaming space. Both them and Sony have absolutely sucked as of late, real shame.

The difference between Peter Moore and Phil Spender is night and day.

Phil Spencer is on record saying: "I don't believe Good games would improve hardware sales" He said. The head of Xbox.

Let me tell you one of the reasons why XBOX is in such a difficult position: They mostly release their games on both the console and "the PC", for me not making their games exclusive to only their console unlike their competitors is a big L move...

You can already tell the like to dislike ratio ain’t favouring this guy.

gaming feels so fucking bleak this year, sony keeps stepping on rakes while xbox just ensured we're never gonna see anything like HFR ever again by killing off tango and then continuing milking cod/fallout for all they're worth like nothing happened

Valve is literally the clear winner of this generation of gaming with the steam store and the steam deck because most of the popular games from PlayStation and Xbox get released on pc which then get released on steam which THEN gets released on the steam deck

Forza is fucking Goated, and so is Cars 3.

Even though PlayStation has its own problems to solve, at least the PS5 is still selling well and PlayStation as a brand is still popular. While the Xbox Series X hasn't been selling the best and and Xbox has been relying way more on Gamepass then providing great exclusives for their console. The Gamepass strategy, that they have been focusing on recently, isn't sustainable.

I'm still waiting for the physical copy of Hi Fi Rush to come out 😒

I'm not kidding. When you said, "Kid Icarus will be back for the next-" my screen glitched out, and youtube froze for a second. Like a damn Omen or something.

With all of the layoffs, zero games, and buying up studios to make up for their own lack of interesting IP, yeah Xbox definitely deserved this. Good video btw!

the big problem is that xbox EXCLUSIVES are for pc too on DAY ONE. i mean look at sony they publish an exclusive game on pc after two freaking YEARS?!

As an Xbox fan, I can understand where you're coming from but... perhaps this video being a month late might have impacted the viewer response in a way you weren't prepared for. It's the Playstation that isn't performing as well as Sony had hoped, and after the recent Xbox showcase a lot of these points have grown moot. Maybe do an updated video in response to how your thoughts may or may not gave changed after the recent showcase and news from Xbox?

It’s feels good to know I’m not the last kid Icarus fan on earth

wtf r u talking about

I question how Xbox managed to fumble the bag so hard when Xbox 360 was regarded as the best console during its era

Can you make the "Earned Successed of the Nintendo Switch", It would be really funny if you had all three! 🙃

Apparently it might be that Shinji mikami director of a Resident Evil left the studio and he was the director of The Evil Within one which sold well but not two which sold bad and HiFi Rush which did well but I guess they figure since he's gone the studio doesn't have any star power or creative jeans so they shut everybody down.

respect gears

One random RU-vidr makes one video on a subject, then every other bandwagoner follows suit.

Rare doesn’t want to make a banjo game that’s why he will never come back, when will ppl get that in their heads

19:11 New beat 🐱👍

I had the feeling that Xbox had no identity. I used to own the Xbox One S back in 2019 and while I had some good time with it, seeing their Game Pass giving access to play on PC made something click in my mind. While I only owned potato PCs at the time, I knew that things will spiral down (and that was back in 2021 when I figured it out), now it's even more disturbing to find out I was actually correct 3 years ago. Since that "clicking" moment, I jumped from Microsoft (I also had a Nintendo Switch, still have it) to Sony since I didn't wanna bother with 3000+$ gaming PCs. While I don't have that many games on my now PS5 and VR 2, they're still far better experiences on them (heck, I bought Diablo 2 Rez on it so I could resume my online characters)

Downfall? Bro they are fine lmao hahaha

As much as it pained me back in the day not being able to play any game on the console of my choice (as a PS player, I really wanted Gears of War and Forza, and God, did I want to play Mario games on my PlayStation), exclusive games were some of the best in the world because they needed to be good to draw people to their console, to sell consoles. They were front and center. Competition creates great results. When you compete with someone, you try to do your best, but if any game is going to be anywhere with billions of people available to buy the games or, well, to now get a subscription, there is no need to be the best; you just need to be good enough...

Greta video. The editing is great. Looks like it took a lot of work. Was really surprised at the low sub count

Let’s not glaze over the fact that call of duty. One of the biggest franchises will be an Xbox exclusive eventually and also first party exclusives don’t sell nearly as much as third-party exclusives like men call of duty in NBA 2K exclusive would be lucky to sell a 10th of the amount that something like NBA 2K would sell people do not usually buy consoles for their exclusives.

I agree with you but I won’t accept Forza slander

So many common issues between both consoles which shows the dire straits that gaming in general has. But at this point what even is the point of Xbox? At least PlayStation has something unique not offered elsewhere

Okay, I have to stop watching this video after 4 minutes because you straight up ignores many IPs for some reason, which makes me feel like this is going to be a biased video. I don't know you. I don't care about consoles, but make a fair comparison next time.

This made me think, who actually earns more overall software and hardware combined? is it Xbox vs PS?

The series x has been my favorite console. I don’t think it was made for you. Stick to playing switch. I mean if forza is just a car game to you well then Xbox isn’t for you

As a kid I could barely afford to get one Xbox, so when I finally did get one I was kinda upset to hear that a new one was released and no new games would be released for the Classic Box, I kinda felt robbed. I eventually did get the 360 but I only got to enjoy for roughly two years before the One came out and once again made my current system obsolete. Eventually got the One and now history repeats itself with the Tower Box and now I've decided, enough. I've migrated to PC where I look forward to playing all my games and future games without worrying about getting a new system every few years or paying a subscription to play with other people.

In all honestly, GAMERS, and i really mean GAMERS, people that play games, really REALLY need to step away from social media or at least not let it affect their hobby, PLAYING GAMES!!! Dude, at this point, theres so many games that came out and i bet a lot of gamers, myself included, that missed out on certain games and didnt play them. Instead of people worrying about what the entire company is doing, i wish people would just go back to enjoying themselves because thats what games are for! To help escape reality. Same for movies and shows, so many people just critique nonstop about E V E R Y T H I N G. And it honestly pisses ne off because the general public masses will never know the developers personally. We need to stop trying to get sooooo attached to everything. But idk im pretty sure im gonna get bashed for saying i dont care for other's wellbeing or some shit. But honestly, a lot of people today, not just me, have so much shit theyre already dealing with. Why the fuck are people stressing themselves about the decisions companies make. Just go home, play games, and relax ffs!! I got so much stress in my life that i dont need to worry about a developer that made 1 ONE O N E game that a lot of people praised. Idk sorry for the rant for whoever reads this.

Here before this blows up

As much as I have Game Pass games on my Xbox, the ONLY reason for people to own an Xbox Series X is Sonic Unleashed with the 60FPS patch, since it’s not legally available on every other console as of making this comment.

Do people just get paid to hate on Xbox? It's getting boring now. What a pathetic time to upload a video like this as well.

I bought a Series S in 2022, mostly to play Fortnite while at university. I enjoyed Halo Infinite for a couple months then checked out and never got much interest in any other Xbox IPs, I tried titles on game pass like Grounded, Flight Simulator but nothing really interested me. High Fi Rush was the biggest highlight but ultimately I just used the Xbox to play Fortnite and Modern Warfare. I recently bought a PS5 and sold the Series S on eBay. I saw zero reason to keep it going forwards even with setting up dev mode emulation.

Did nintendo won the console war?

i am lost my heart i am lost hi fi rush

You know maybe you should have kept the Game Pass subscription because you had access to 500 free games in the fact that you unsubscribe because Microsoft shut down one IP is not Microsoft problem that’s your pro and that’s a terrible financial decision. That’s your problem. You canceled a great deal of a subscription because they shut down one when you could play all these games, I just feel like you like

So I’m holding my newborn watching Destin. The video ends I drop my phone then this little weasel guy plays next. I couldn’t reach my phone so I had to endure 6 minutes of this guys misery. Finally my wife walked in and took the baby. Where’s the do not recommend button? Gaming RU-vidrs are almost as bad as the rap guys

I just like playing games man I don’t care about which metal box I play them on

Wonder how this video sounds if it waited til after the xbox showcase. Seems every youtuber had amnesia and started praising xbox after they dropped serve after serve

You should now make a video on Nintendo, but instead of it being a "downfall" of sorts it should be a "rise" instead lol

This ain't it chief. I get it, there's a lot that's wrong with the gaming industry at large right now but Xbox is like lesser of all evils currently available to us.

Hey, my guy, in 2024, what games are coming to Playstation, I'll wait???

The Xbox One Series X is the Wii U of Microsoft Consoles but without exclusives.

I feel like you missed the point of gamepass, it’s big because of its profitability and its slowed down mostly because it’s reaching saturation of Xbox users, also Xbox is not just its console it’s really nice being able to play with pc friends after years of that not being an option and still really not one on ps

Not a great time, but definitely not a downfall.

I have never purchased an Xbox system. Even during the brand's supposed high point of consistently failing 360 units, their exclusive line up still sucked. I never saw what anyone saw in the Xbox brand other than they had one, and had to convince themselves it was good. The 360 still lost to the PS3 and Wii, so Xbox's supposed high point was enjoying its least embarrassing last place.

😂😂😂😂😂😂or just saying u can buy series x ps5 and pc so no matter where it releases u can play it common sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂I own all three

This Whole video sums up why i stop listening to youtubers hate bait so much fake info its disgusting's. RU-vid gaming media is a bunch of dudes trying to pray on mob mentality i swear if yall stop watching them a play games. You would start to enjoy way more games

Yeah the writing is def on the wall. Microsoft is leading Xbox into a full on game publisher/studio and they’ll eventually sunset all hardware operations

Microsoft never really cared about hardware. They care about software. I think the XBox was a power play from the start. The company that makes the best console doesn't win. The company that makes the best games does. Now that they took out the software competition and showed they could be hardware competitors, they are ready to make the gaming version of Microsoft Office.

I finally went with a pc. I doubt ill buy a console ever again. Tired of their little ecosystems and drama. Pc gaming truly is the way.

This whole 9th gen of consoles are a downfall. After 4 years I still don't see reason to get a PS or XBOX from this gen. Maybe next year when GTA VI releases I'll get an XBOX because of the backward compatibility but as soon as GTA releases on PC I'll sell the XBOX.

my feed lately is just: xbox sucks or Playstation took the L at the showcase. you guys are more worried about billion dollar companies than actually playing video games

Now waiting for a Nintendo vídeo 🥶

Your dunk on Forza and Cars 3 is corny AF and not nessesary

Lmao sure

So according to this comment section, one really good Xbox Showcase is enough to make up for over a decade of corporate incompetence, mismanagement, failed consoles, useless peripherals, unfinished games, broken promises, overspending, a lack of exclusives, anti-consumer practices, and studio layoffs. Xbox fanboys are so delusion, it's honestly just sad at this point

Even with the new games showcase like Gears 6 it's still not good enough. Imo I'd love a 4k Halo 3 and not a Master Chef collection just Halo 3 make it feel like 2007 again that's what I want anyway that was the golden days of gaming for me. Gears of war 1 & 2 are the best and 4-5 were destroyed by crap story lines and microtransactions. Gears of war should never have microtransactions period but uno greed so until Microsoft go back to how gaming was in 2007 I wont be buying any new games because everything is woke shit.

I’m just stating the facts more triple A games than Nintendo and Sony combined. The only console that supports emulation giving you access to more 1st party Nintendo and Sony 1st party IP than PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The best gaming controller for 3 generations straight of gaming that Nintendo and Sony felt the need to copy the design. Avowed Indiana Jones Gears if war E-day Blade Fable Perfect dark and every main line call of duty day and date on gamepass ultimate you can’t compete with that value even if you play on pc master race

Yes🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Xbox has going third party. If you own an Xbox then rip to you

LMAO! You're struggling, aren't you? Xbox told you Nintendo and PS weren't competition, and they just proved it. But hey, look at all the games, Sony.... LMMFAO!

Xbox should stop making consoles

Even if this video is a month late, there is no downful of the Xbox brand (yet) anyway, there is a downfall of AAA gaming in general. It is heading towards a 1983 style crash. In terms of new, this generation exclusive games, the PS5 sucks too. This entire generation sucks (so far), and the next generation will be even worse. Sony will be forced to finally release a software emulator on the PS6 to allow PS1 through to PS5 games to work on it just to justify its existence for its first 4 years. By the time 2028 comes along, MS gaming will be a great place on both Xbox and PC. Even if GamePass is unsustainable. I personally will not be buying the 2027/2028 consoles until at least 2032.

PlayStation doesn't care about their customers

Say no IPs Minecraft: 🥺

The deserved downfall of Xenokayoh’s mom

Ummm Xbox Showcase?

Baby, wake up, Xenokayoh posted.

3:52 lmao 😂

I think it’s funny how the Xbox fans were shitting on Sony in that video you made and now lots of them are in this videos comments saying your wrong and defending the console with their lives 😂

So basically this video only exist, because he were butthurt over the Xbox showcase and all it's non PS5 games?

xbox baits rlly feeding these bums

A PC can't be hooked to a TV. It just can't. You could go through the hassle of it but why would you? Buy wireless accessories, turn on TV, turn on PC, make sure to update Steam/EA/Battlenet/Epic/Uplay, update your drivers, then play game. All of this vs turn PS5, play game right where you left it. PC is like an F1 car. Of course it goes faster than your toyota but which one would you choose for commuting? Both ecosystems have their place.

Xbox Showcase will not change anything. This console has been losing for 10 years. It is likely that Game Pass will also be a failure for Microsoft. There are only 2 serious consoles on the market Nintendo and Playstation. Xbox is a total lack of prestige and trust. No one wants to buy an Xbox. In Europe, only one Xbox out of every 10 consoles sold.

Oh shut up😂 🙄 💀☠️☠️💀💀💀💀

There's no Downfall towards Xbox..

u know the overweight, 30 something cap wearing Xbox crowd will seethe 😂

PlayStation brand is not on decline it's only going up PlayStation has very Good IP such as the last of us uncharted et cetera

Hey look this has to be the 100,000th video about Xbox dying posted this year

Sony is doing way worst, those final thoughts are backwards. That showcase showed me they put time into more games. Alot of the games shown were from the purchased IPs.

Are you salty PC is making both Sony and MS huge profits? Even though you have Steam, you sound like a console fanboy.

Downfall lmao they make more money than they ever have . It’s Microsoft too 3 money money maker . You know that trillion dollar company that has it toes in everything . Top three

This dude posted a late draft of a vid I could care less about the studios they closed, those studios put out all they could.Also as much as I like dishonored I rather not have more of the same they already made 2 including dlc and hi fi rush is overhyped lol so considering they shut up many mouths with the showcase, Xbox has a brighter future than PS for the next 3 years forsure

Weird , they are doing loads better than sony and nintendo

Ps5 is better than pc

You’re a horrible gaming journalist, bro, you don’t even know the history.

If xbox deserves a downfall, what about playstation? They are doing way worse, less good games, no games in 2024 but remasters and paid exclusivity, no road map, failed hardware like ps portal and ps vr2, live service games, forcing pc to have a psn
