From the PlanetPlaystation.com feature editorial:
"Admittedly, Microsoft had some tough competition this year. With Nintendo pulling through with a brand new console and Sony playing their hand tight—but leaking out quite a bit of intriguing information—the XBOX 360 didn’t have very much to contend with. However, even disregarding the competition, Microsoft botched up their presentation with a mediocre performance. Here are Microsoft’s five mistakes that made an average presentation terrible."
Uncover the spending behind Xbox's Game Pass subscription. Discover how Microsoft invests a billion dollars annually in securing third-party games for the service.
Good.
Now that you´re releasing games and making big money from every gaming platform, you should double that amount and give us even more day one third party games!
I like how they twist cannibalising game sales into "invests".
No lifetime sales with MS, they'll F-up gaming the same as streaming services have done to the movie industry and it's workforce.
we know this, we have known this since last year.
this is not new or news.
Phil Spencer has sent a letter out to employees informing them that 650 jobs would be cut from Microsoft's gaming division.
The original story is from IGN as they are the ones who got the memo.

Still sucks!
A combined $80 billion spent on consolidating a massive part of the industry, thousands fired all to line the pockets of the already wealthy and turn the gaming industry into a rental service.
FU MS.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but here in Brazil we have a say that goes like this:
'May the last one to leave please turn off the lights'
What the heck is MS even doing right now?
Shaz from GL: “Amidst recent concerns surrounding Xbox, Phil and Co. need a win. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be it.”
Not worried about facial animations , but I do hope the gameplay is fun . Most definitely I will purchase this on PS5, if the gameplay is fun .
nice hit piece. I notice the writer didn't mention any of the journalists / creators who had good things to say. From what i hear, it has riddick: escape from butcher bay in its DNA. To me that sounds like something to be Optimistic about rather than pessimistic.
It’s odd to have a first person perspective for an adventure game with stealth and brawling. But’s not without precedent. Wolfenstein: New Order and Wolfenstein: New Colossus had a lot of adventure game elements. They were in the league of the greatest games ever, but they were both fun games. Indy looks fun too.
Yes, Indy looks like Todd Howard. Something feels way too off.
Sony def. won the pressers...
Not sure it was that bad
Honestly, I didn't think it was as bad as this article makes it out to be. I was disappointed, yes. However, I was disappointed with all three this year. The only one that really excited me was Ubisoft. They're doing an incredible job with their games.
What is this trend now with every other article being a list of " TOP X " or " X reasons ".. i mean damn... isnt there anything else to write?
They had Usher as a major part of the conference. And they ended how we expected them to start. Definitely the worst of the big 3. With one of their major big new IP announcements being..... Nike. Nike. NIKE?
