10 years after maybe one of the worst press conferences in gaming history, do you think Microsoft ever fully recovered from this?

game pass goated.

They never recovered

They even said they never recovered. Odd thing to look back on

This is when I abandoned Microsoft and I have yet to return.

Except for Windows OS u know

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

This was the beginning of a neverending snowball of Ls

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

xd

Tv!!

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.

Xbox One with Kinnext was lit 🔥

loved this system though s/o bo3's xb1 community

Man I bought this s*** and the ui was so buggy and slow. I hate how they were more focused on entertainment than games. They’re going in the right direction now though
