Has Microsoft destroyed their Xbox brand?
The Xbox brand has from the start tried to disconnect itself from Microsoft, if you look at your controller and box the Microsoft logo’s are barely visible.
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC is Hatsune Miku - The Planet Of Wonder And Fragments Of Wishes.
Oh, I remember this one on the Switch. Super charming art style, absolutely zero substantive action in the gameplay, basically a glorified minigame collection, and not even an extensive one at that. A bit odd that is coming to Xbox of all places, given that it`s the only modern platform that doesn't have access to a actual Project Diva game.
"Xbox used to be associated with core gamers and big titles, in the early days of the 360 there used to be awesome demo’s coming out all of the time, now they are most Kinect family game demos.
They are trying to tap into the same source Nintendo used to sell loads of Wii’s now look where it got them with the Wii U.
Microsoft’s first party titles and amount of studio’s compared to Sony are laughable
I’ve been an “Xbox guy” since the original one came out, but now I’m seriously doubting the Xbox brand as to first party titles."
I think that sums up how almost all hardcore gamers feel about the Xbox brand these days. MS should take a long hard look at what abandoning the hardcore did to Nintendo when they tried to get them back with the WiiU. MS also needs to consider on thing since they want to take over the living room and that's the fact that casuals already enjoy free apps for free with their Android phones, iphones, PS3s, Wiis, WiiUs, Apple tvs, Google tvs, and all other devices completely ad free so they will never pay MS to rent these free apps. XBL is a free app rental service where you rent free apps that are free everywhere else. The PC gamers didn't fall for it and neither will the casuals.

Thats obvious. When people think PlayStation people think hardcore games. When people think Wii and Xbox people think casual games.
I wouldn't say destroyed the Xbox brand, more changed. They are moving away from the gamer audience that elevated them to the point they are in the first place. thing is a lot of the 'feautures' of the new Xbox will probably be built into TVs in the near future anyway, just look at samsungs smart tvs, they even have kinect-like gesture and voice control.
'Levitates'? Or were you thinking 'elevates'?
It's like MS don't want to succeed...
