Wait, why do we think he's based again? Phil acts like a cool gamer dad but he's running Xbox into the ground the same as Mattrick.
The problem with PSNOW is the same as with every game renting service: it needs to have day1 AAA titles. The only thing MS realized is this and they added over value on top of it. No wonder Game Pass beat PSnow despite being on a joke brand and PC (where it battles literally all the popular stores and piracy). PSnow can never catch up without Sony putting their titles in day one which they won't obviously.

>took over Xbox one year after Xbone came out and there wasn't a single good exclusive the whole generation false. He got really in charge like in 2017.
Cooper Ross
You forgot pointing out that this moron was responsible for first party studios during the worst era of the Xbox 360. The guy is a fucking hack and a constant "Next year will be better" con man
Wyatt Rodriguez
He was only in charge for three years and inhereted what Shane Kim did. The only things he greenlit during then was Killer Instinct and organizing the Minecraft port. Everything else like the Kinect titles and even Lococycle started with Shane Kim
James Lewis
it's fine because he wear cool t-shirts to events

>it needs to have day1 AAA titles That's only xbox titles though
William Taylor
they have been. The Initiative (whos game we've yet to see) consists of a lot of talent from Sony.
Grayson Brown
All of Microsoft's studios in California like Initiative, Obsidian and InXile have been grabbing a shitload of talent who are ex-Naughty Dog and Santa Monica. But then it's not really surprising considering reportedly 50% of ND full time left the moment TLOU 2 shipped never mind contractors. The lead writer at Initiative was one of the writers of both Red Dead games as well.

>worse performance than PS5 That's a lie
Isaac Richardson
>there wasn't a single good exclusive the whole generation Exclusives hurt vidya as a whole. This is exactly why he's based.
Brody Harris
>Let's 343 continue working on Halo after their terrible handling of Halo 5 and MCC Maybe because Halo 4 and 5 were good and sold very well.
Is it ever coming to pc? I played it a bit at a friend's house but Its literally the only xbox game I'd like to play that isnt on pc

The truth is that the Xbox was on life support until Phil got promoted as VP by fall 2017, their acquisitions started by E3 2018 and they already have released Obsidian's Outer Worlds (overrated shit I know) and Wasteland 3 (One of the best CRPG of the year). Nadella is known for being very strict and wasn't fond of Nokia and Xbox.
To think that they have been draining Santa Monica and ND best talents so hard that it makes me wonder why SM hired Alanah Pierce this week.
Adrian Turner
To be fair you're not going to see Microsoft really start making the Xbox worthwhile until some of these studios they've got their hands on start actually making some games purely exclusive to PC/Xbox. Right now the platform is still just treading water from the lousy showing last gen. It's going to take years to see the fruit of those purchases. I think by mid-gen they might start to give audiences a reason to go with them. Especially ES VI being an exclusive now.
