I think something Microsoft missed with the streaming model that is an advantage Netflix had which they wouldn't necessarily have with gamers: a vault of old content. Id wager a large portion of gamers have large steam libraries if they get bored where not as many people even have DVD players and those who have something like a Plex server are and even smaller group. I just don't think the subscription model will ever be sustainable in the gaming industry from a churn perspective but Id be interested to hear your thoughts.

Do you believe Xbox will just get to the point where you can play the games on any device. You can choose to build your own gaming PC or have the pre-built consoles for easier setup?

There’s a lot of negative sentiment on xbox considering all that’s happened, admittedly I’m part of the people who partake in the negativity. But playing devils advocate if you will, shouldn’t we wait until the next Xbox’s launch at least to see whether the brand is “dead”? The argument I hear and say myself is that “they’ve been buying up all these studios where are the games”, but I catch myself and think, have we really given them enough time to restructure and then on top of that actually make the games? Not a defense they’ve put themselves in this predicament (rip tango games). But I have to remind myself that it’s been three years since zenimax and half a year since activision buyout. The expectation of a turnaround this generation seems extreme. If they have no big games as actual day one launches for the next Xbox the will I have no doubts.

Honestly I think Sony needs to drop the PS5 digital to $300, base PS5 to $400 and the Pro at $500 if they are serious about selling the console. I am surprised the PS5 hasn't had a price drop yet, I'm sure Sony is making alot of margins on each console sold.

As someone who has worked on dev teams (non-game related) and watched 100% turnover after an executive change, is XBox trying to retain talent?

Given that Xbox doesn't have its own handheld (yet), what do you think the logic is for launching Xbox Mobile now? Especially since (as far as I can tell), they're not paying Steam Deck competitors to include vouchers for it.

While Microsoft are in a precarious situation with Xbox, the whole gaming industry is going through some turmoil. Do you think that helps Microsoft in any way or is making a bad situation worse? Have Microsoft made any good decisions recently regarding Xbox?

Travis Gooding

Retrospectively, I think Phil Spencer’s whole shtick on “Having so many developers/teams that we’ll aim to release major releases every X amount of months” was one of the most insane and out of scope things I’ve ever seen an executive try to sell. From what I’ve seen of the leaks, his mentality, how he sees Xbox fans as “evangelized gamers” and his personal wishlist of buying MAJOR game studios and even wanting to own Nintendo(“Nintendo games will do best on Xbox, they just don’t know it yet”). He is quite literally IMHO the worst CEO and leader Xbox has ever had. People hate on Don Mattrick but he delivered games and experiences. He didn’t turn Xbox around, or even pushed anything unique during the xb1 generation. The ENTIRETY of Xbox’s recent acquisitions and Gamepass loss leading has been due to Microsoft and the CFO fronting tens of billions to try to turn around a division that has had its leadership completely fail its audience and development teams. 1. An Xbox handheld…. What’s the selling point? Trying to push windows store against Steam is an even worse uphill battle than fighting Sony on what was once an even battle ground. Even if you could play games from Steam on it like it’s been alluded to, there’s absolutely going to be a licensing cost for making anything XBOX related and I doubt Microsoft will eat costs for all these manufacturers to “compete” against Steamdeck and the established ROG Ally E.T.C handheld lineups. For all the money in the world Microsoft has, they can’t buy mindshare.

Hi Tom. With all of the ARM on windows talk, I can't help but think about Windows mobile and continuum. While I'm not a huge fan of windows, I think the idea of unifying desktop and mobile was ahead of its time. With phones and desktops both running ARM64, what's the difference anymore? Could we see a native version of game pass on mobile, for games that already have a native ARM windows port? Or could you see someone like Samsung marketing that their phones can emulate windows ARM games with something like proton, on low settings of course. I think it would fit in with Samsung DEX resembling a windows desktop. With most phones being more powerful than a switch, I think its the Google play store holding android gaming back.

Will a mobile Xbox even help the Xbox brand? Will it be something people would choose over something like the Switch 2 or Steamdeck, even with Game Pass? I have my doubts on that one.

Do you guys think Sony is aggressive enough with the PS5? The games, while good, feel like less than during PS4 and a lot are remasters/remakes. There have been no official price drops beyond Days of Play sales either. I used to be a big PS+ as well (especially when it originally came out), PS4 PS+ was fine but price was going up, but on PS5 price is too high for the beginning tier IMO and I feel with my purchasing habits PS+ is...lackluster at best now but they almost pigeon hole you into it if you want save back ups because you can't manually back up saves like PS4 and previous generations.

How would you guys have handled the bad PR/state of Xbox One coming into the Xbox Series generation? Pretty vague question but I feel like at this point in time it's not being ran as effectively as it could be.
