Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 147814, member: 215120"] To offer some perspective to bring the conversation away from the unanimous “hell no” you seem to have gotten: I think the XBox SHOULD become something new. What I can’t say, but I feel like the brand is dying due to a perceived redundancy of the XBox as a system. They need games, yes, and we can talk all day about their horrible management, but what they really need is a direction to help inspire people to make games. You are very right that they’ve failed to compete with Sony. Not because they can’t (it’s literally Microsoft), but because the company sabotaged the XBox brand. I mean, XBox began as dark and cool and powerful and edgy. Does that SOUND like Microsoft? I miss that vibe, but that ship has sailed and was never going to fly for long. I can’t offer up specific suggestions, but they need to find a direction that the company, the WHOLE company, believes in which isn’t so clean cut and user friendly. They’ve pushed more people away over a long time than they have brought in because everybody can tell “corporate fake” to some extent. They need a passionate team with bold ideas and the funds to make those ideas a reality. In short, if they aren’t interested in doing anything interesting, they shouldn’t still be making consoles at all. It’s a lot of wasted resources to keep XBox around if truly nobody in the company believes in it. [/QUOTE]
