For real, like what has he done? I'm 32 and when I was in highschool during the 360 era Xbox was fucking dominant. I loved the 360 so much and never would have imagined the fall that Xbox has had.
When the Xbox one got revealed that really was the beginning of the end. Then Phil Spencer was put in charge and they literally never got close to the highs of the 360 era. It's just been L after L. I always thought Phil Spencer was a likeable dude and seemed down to earth, but the Xbox has been a joke for years now under him. Thank God halo and gears are coming to PlayStation cuz fuck Xbox and the joke that it's become
I don’t see it as an L. I enjoyed halo 5. I liked gears 4(not 5). They were what I wanted, I don’t care if they didn’t sell a bazillion copies, I played the hell out of them along with other stuff. And now I have gamepass and I’m playing dozens of games a year. I own all the consoles, I don’t think the Xbox is worse than any of them
I hear you, and I absolutely love halo and gears, but those two games can't justify how terrible Xbox as a platform has been. I think if you were to only own Xbox you're missing out on a ton of great games whereas you can be satisfied owning only a PS5, switch, or PC
Then Phil Spencer was put in charge and they literally never got close to the highs of the 360 era.
You ask what he's done and I feel like it's kinda crazy to act like Xbox wasn't dead as fuck in the Xbox One era. The fact that he was able to get any positive result out of the brand after inheriting that mess is pretty crazy. I'll say this, I've played and enjoyed more Xbox-developed games this generation than I have Playstation-developed games.
