Not getting even a single tentpole game is a real bad look. I’m sure I will be happy myself with tons of great smaller stuff, but still not a good look for the brand.

Well no one will care when theres like 5 games in the first 6 months of the year

[pg2g]

Just show me games that look amazing and I won’t care whether they are 3, 6,9, or 12 months away

I mean, people still care about 2013 launch and some still care about Sega leaving console business so

They should probably move on

They will care lots in the holiday season without anything major to anchor the platform. Sure, 2023 will be even more insane but still huge disappointment from me wrt how it looks.

Absolutely, I was saying this last week and the response was that Xbox doesn’t need to release anything.

While it’s true they don’t need to, it’s still extremely sad and disappointing.

Do you expect they won’t be able to move consoles without major first party releases?

Just shelve the games and release them during the dry periods

Ironically it won’t affect sales much but only Game Pass growth at best.

I think we’re kinda jumping the gun too with this notion that 2023 will be insane and that there’s automatically gonna be like 10 big games or something crazy…

I’m not worried about console sales, I am saying the brand image will take a huge hit going an entire year without a tentpole 1P game at all. Hoping maybe we can get a surprise Wolfenstein 3 or something.

Well, if we’re not getting anything in 2022 that means we getting 5 games in the first half of next year

I can’t play Xbox sales numbers 2022 edition, right?

They are selling better than ever with no games

They will be fine for another few months

@TavishHill

Not getting even a single tentpole game this whole year is a real bad look. I’m sure I will be happy myself with tons of great smaller stuff, but still not a good look for the brand.

While I agree, I believe that Microsoft will just ride out the second half of 2022 especially if they have a game in February/March 2023.

@TheBrightestSun

True. 3pm EST for me with XboxEra at 6pm EST.

@Proven

Agreed. If the first half of 2023 is packed, it will lessen the impact of the games that were delayed out of 2022.

@TavishHill

I think most of the world will only care about Modern Warfare though.

But it proves again that Microsoft should start locking down the games exclusively whenever possible.

It will be the most temporary brand hit in history. Once things hit, nobody will think that Xbox was ever light on games.

I mean I’m not even trolling when I’m saying this….I’m not expecting 5 major games in 6 months when they can’t even get 1 out this year, sorry.

That’s kinda crazy to me….

We automatically assume stuff that’s rumored for 2023 is actually coming out in 2023.

Agree 100%.
