Where does Xbox need to improve? | Let's be constructive about it

You make it sound so easy. MS need to do what they are doing, keep talking to the studios, getting the games on XGP, manage and grow Tango. Maybe acquire Platinum.

I did not make it sound easy. I said what they need to do and they need to make a splash there. The approach “grow little by little” just won’t work.

It will, as it shows to the market MS give a dam, and are willing to make an effort. Arrogantly trying to buy a publisher is the worst thing MS could do and it wont work in Japan.

That’s a take for sure :rofl:

Seeing some of your takes so far, stand up comedy is something you should try my friend

You know, I’m something of a comedian myself (с)

Yeah I agree! I’m curious how they are going to market Starfield and the other Xbox Games Studios

I think the marketing for games will be better when they are ready. Xbox needs to market their individual games 1st and game pass 2nd.

Hopefully Starfield is the breakout moment for Xbox.

What current Xbox games aside - Halo - have issue with post launch support? I heard that AoE4 has the same issues.

  1. A bit more marketing, you don’t need to spend gangbusters because honestly smart marketing >>>>> spending half of the budget for something you could spend less and get the same returns.

  2. Studios like 343i (I think its the current only example) needs to be told to delay the games for months rather than releasing in unfinished state, its even jarring that in the industry where the corporate heads are the ones mostly responsible for ordering rushing out we saw a reverse, a developer who wanted to release in an unthinkable state having to be convinced otherwise.

  3. Expand official sales to more countries.

I find it weird that the Soul Hackers 2 trailer hasn’t been posted by Xbox on youtube yet. Sony has a marketing deal with it?

PS is a lot better at YT as well, surprised.pickachuface.gif.

That wouldn’t prevent Xbox from putting the video on their channel. RE Village trailers were uploaded to the Xbox channel and that had HEAVY Sony marketing.

It’s still uploading, they’re on dial-up internet

Xbox youtube channel engagement is pretty damn low, like it struggles to do 20k views on some videos that PS channel does 100k easily. The opposite happens on Twitter where Xbox even won Tweet of the Year awards.

Xbox YT channel is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, even Serie A channel handled by old geezers is better updated. XD

That’s because they are ALWAYS late, the rare instances when they upload things concurrently, the engagement is similar. It’s only a matter of understaff/budget and/or less capable staff, it’s easy.

Elden Ring launch trailer is there, Soul Hackers 2 has nothing yet, what the fuck are they thinking?

This is an event on Xbox’s history and they have nothing for it?

Probably the YT staff at Xbox don’t have the material to upload or they don’t even know about it. XD

I don’t see it as a big deal because I’m accustomed to Xbox YT being crap, I have both it and PS and the difference is staggering. Considering also uploading videos on YT is a child play nowadays, it’s really a bad look for Xbox marketing…
