10 years after maybe one of the worst press conferences in gaming history, do you think Microsoft ever fully recovered from this?
They never recovered
Complete shambolics. I still remember going on GameSpot the next day to read about the reveal and being so disappointed in what their plans were. Compulsory Kinect, always online, preventing people from playing used games
Went with PS4 and I'm probably never getting a Microsoft console again
Still cant believe they topped "599 US dollars"
Truly that seemed disastrous
Crazy I still bought the thing off the strength of the 360….honestly thought the concept was cool but was an absolute disaster in practice. Been PS gang since
To be fair it was a cool concept if they hadn't pushed so hard on the drm. If they started gamepass at launch of xbox one lol
Xbox one had better exclusives at this point than the current gen btw
gamepass and having no console exclusives is just an entirely different strategy
This officially lost Xbox a shot at ever competing for the top spot in the console market
Sony became the casual gamer console of choice overnight where everyone decided they would play their sports and shooter multiplats (only thing that really matters for sales).
Crazy how Microsoft were right, "always on" is the norm now and no one bats an eye at it.
