Okay Zig Forumsirgins.
Phil Spencer fell into a manhole and you are now head of his god forsaken company.
How do you save it?
Okay Zig Forumsirgins.
Phil Spencer fell into a manhole and you are now head of his god forsaken company.
How do you save it?
Sell it all to the Chinese, run with the money.
Convert it to SEGA and make the sega series x
Free Gold.
PS5 btfo.
Rebrand Xbox as a PS5 and hope no one notices.
Sega is autistic garbage.
>fire all womanz
>make all games exclusives
>rush gaylo with new crew for xmas launch (MP mainly campaign comes out piece by piece )
By lowering a rope into the manhole and saving Phil Spencer, the savior of video games.
Invest as many resources as needed into a JSRF HD remaster. After this is done I retire, for my work is complete.
Make more Forza, Gears and Halo crap while I get comfy check.
6-Step Plan [Phil, if you're reading this, take notes]
Step 1: Make XBOX Live free.
Step 2: Funnel enough money into AA Jap devs to release their backlogs onto their platform.
Step 3: Keep 343 under close watch, make sure Infinite is so good it rivals 2 in quality, and brings back a new age of in-game skits.
Step 4: Rebrand the Series consoles as Sega ones in the East, to get the Japs on board
Step 5: Make sure Avowed reminds people of 2000's Obsidian, not late 10's Obsidian.
Step 6: Once you gain the trust of the East, drop a nuke by making Persona 6 an Xbox and PC exclusive.
It's the only way it'll make a profit in the East.
Based
Partnership with Nintendo
Dump the back Catalog to Sweeny/Epic and dip
Gut 343 and make a new studio for Halo games
Hand the IP to another studio for a smaller spin-off to tide people over
Halo being delayed is a good step. Isn't Gamepass going to be a cash cow for them anyways? I even saw Poptarts at the store have a two week subscription for it.
>Step 1: Make XBOX Live free.
Lose billions Of dollars
>Step 2: Funnel enough money into AA Jap devs to release their backlogs onto their platform.
Lose billions of dollars and realize no Japanese will buy an American home console.
>Step 3: Keep 343 under close watch, make sure Infinite is so good it rivals 2 in quality, and brings back a new age of in-game skits.
Good idea
>Step 4: Rebrand the Series consoles as Sega ones in the East, to get the Japs on board
Lose Billions of Dollars while losing your American/UK stronghold to PS5 completely.
>Step 5: Make sure Avowed reminds people of 2000's Obsidian, not late 10's Obsidian.
Good Idea but story games don't make money
>Step 6: Once you gain the trust of the East, drop a nuke by making Persona 6 an Xbox and PC exclusive
Xbox will never gain the trust of the east atleast not in home console business and Persona 6 will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to buy exclusivity while only selling 4 million copies.
END RESULT
*Microsoft sells Xbox Division to Amazon or Google
Microsoft breaking into the east has never been fully worth it because Japs simply buy Jap products. There's already a Xbox exclusive SMT.
Moneyhat a bunch of third party exclusives,
Make Online Multiplayer Free
Allow users to install Windows (optional)
Allow Porn games on the Xbox store
That last one is not a joke btw, Microsoft needs to do everything Sony doesnt allow to appear like the better choice. Allowing Ero VN's would be a huge deal in Japan for example
>halo delayed
Invalid thread but nice try
Push for pc b/aa developers to become pc/xbox only.
Money hat for this year/next year if no ms aaa are ready.
Green light Halo ODST sequel, Mechwarrior port, Shadowrun next gen game via obsidian,
push for indie games.
Keep xcloud going hard via money hats if necessary to get japanese dev onboard even if they have to kill off the 30% cut for a while.
Have Rare doing their thing, copy nintendo via establishing a kart game, adv horror games (gore is not needed for all games if the concept is good).
Buy SE if they can, all japanese games in japan go to nintendo, xcloud and xbox ecosystem.
ALSO all older games should run 4k, hdr, 60fps or higher w possible rt via ML (if they have it). There are a lot of current gen games on pc via 2080 maxed looking beyond consoles.
Halo 2 AV edition w rt (forced) looks beyond current consoles. These games can be demoed and shown compared to current/prior demos to show the leap. This is necessary to get fan excited and keep interest for first 2 years.
Get sega to run japanese division, and fund some of their games. Same strategy as SE above.
A percentage of console gamers have backlogs, this entices them to finish them off, while getting 20% into next gen.
Lock every current employee and head of 343 in the building, and then burn it to the ground
Press the Fired button.
Make these parasites unemployed.
No golden parachutes.
No pensions either.
Money will go only to talents who bring the good games.
..By being proficient at designing, producing, and marketing.
VOODOO VINCE 2
Ok, bear with my, for this is about to get BASED
>Put timed exclusivity on all titles before they go to PC

>Have Rare doing their thing, copy nintendo via establishing a kart game
>tfw we will never get a Chief Kart Racing game
I have an idea so crazy that it might just work. Just hear me.
I'll use some of my gazillion million dollars to release... some videogames! Crazy shit uh?
Free online. Take the COD exclusivity month back form Sony. Disc based BC with EVERY previous Xbox.
Attempt to muster up somthing NEW.
Out Naughty Dog Naughty Dog.
>Viva Pinata 3
this guy fucks
FPBP
Problem is rare will probably fuck it up like sega w sonic racing allstars. Underneath the sonic game is an actual racing game. That should only exist for ultimate cup (highest difficulty). MK64 had the best ai because it was designed to be fun.
