Why doesn't it have the pop culture reach that the PS5 does? It'd also sold out and highly coveted but SNL isn't doing a song about them, women on Twitter aren't talking about it, normies don't give a shit at all.
Don't they know about the 14 Teraflops? Don't they know about the advanced backwards compatibility?
I'm fine with it keeping a low profile because it means daddy MS tries harder to bring in more people and I reap the benefits. Gamepass Ultimate for 60 bucks a year is a fucking pants on head retarded proposition and I just love it
>Gamepass Ultimate for 60 bucks a year wtf are you on about

The playstation brand carries more weight in 2020 than microsoft. The only time this wasn't the case was between 2006 to 2010, when the 360 was the undisputed king (wii wasn't really direct competition at the time) This has nothing to do with the quality of next gen hardware, it will take about 2-3 years of fierce competition for xbox to catch up with the brand recognition

same reason apple has pop culture same reason marvel movies do
just luck and good timing

>he actually doesn’t know
Jonathan Wright
show me then bc I'm still pretty sure you're full of shit

>we didn't gatekeep enough. Gaming is ruined now. >bros, why does the sexbox not reach out to the normies?????
so which is it then?
Jordan Collins
that means they create a new account and buy 1 year of xbox live gold and then convert it to ultimate for 1 dollar every year.
John Williams
You don't need a new account and you can stack up to 3 years of gold
xbox doesn't have the same 'cool' factor to normies as playstation, even though they're both equally soulless and boring now. i don't really understand it to be honest
Ryan Brooks
That's because Sony is paying for people to shill their console. You think SNL made that shitty song out of the kindness of tyheir hearts? No, Sony shoved some shekels down their throats. MS is too busy making the Xbox dangerously based to care about marketing.
>undisputed king only in anglo countries. that's hardly undisputed.

The PS5 is kind of like an iPhone and the Xbox Sex is kind of like an Android device.

True but I didn't mean to imply otherwise Sometimes I forget there are people on the internet who aren't Americans

PS5 actually has games Microsoft fucking ruined Halo aka the only reason to get an xbox

XB1's dogshit launch. At the beginning of last gen, there was literally no reason to buy an xbox over a playstation unless you really, really, liked Halo, a franchise whose last highlight was 6 years in the past. Now PS has more cultural presence simply because that's where most of the playesr are. It will take MS at least another generation or two to recover.
Xbox = Halo Halo is now shit and irrelevant to normalfags so therefore the Xbox is as well. Playstation is nothing special anymore either but Sony gets to coast on the good memories people have of the PS1/2
They don't have any good exclusives anymore. The 360 won because of Halo, Gears of War etc.

You can also just wait until black Friday every year, you should see deals for $30/3 months. I believe you can get up to 3 months for free by exploiting the "turn on recurring payments" thing so you end up getting a year for $60 plus taxes.
Mason Anderson
Name 3 good games. I’ll wait.

Genuine question: what did Xbox do last gen to make Xbox users want to buy the new console or to make PlayStation or Nintendo users jump ship?
I know this is always the argument against Microsoft, but the lack of exclusives absolutely ruins the Xbox line for me. I feel like I’m missing absolutely nothing by having a PS4 and a Switch. And when there’s a next gen game that I want to play, I’ll buy a PS5 probably. I’d much sooner build a gaming PC than I would purchase an Xbox.
Also, this is a petty gripe that doesn’t affect me at all, but imagine a parent going to buy a new console for their kids on Christmas. It’s very easy to tell what the newest and best PlayStation is, but they’re going to see the Series X, Series S, One X, and One S in stores and online this year, and there are plenty of parents and grandparents too retarded to tell which console is the latest.

All the silly marketing you mentioned aside the Xbox brand is Microsoft's highly niche and dwindling gaming division that they've promised not to give up on because they've already put in the initial investment and have a devoted fanbase (no matter how small). If they keep their foot in the door they can immediately take advantage of the situation when one of the more important guys fucks up
basically NEVAH GIVE UP
Benjamin Kelly
No regular person is getting a next generation console for Christmas, only streamers and Youtubers. Imagine shelling out free consoles to influencers for marketing reasons when normal people can’t even buy the damn things.
Kayden Russell
Game Pass is the only one I can think of and even then there is a version of it on PC. Maybe the Perfect Dark will change my mind on Xbox but then again I imagine that will come out on PC also.
