New Xbox promo ad - I'm an Ex-Boxer

[ThunderBoy]

lmao

I think this type of marketing is crap.
It causes more harm than good.

 

[pr0xy]

Oof.
Well… that sure was something.

90s ad

And with good reason.

If everything is Xbox that means nothing is Xbox

Wow, with just 9 words you crashed Microsoft stock prices yo!!!:

ayy lmao

 

[Matricks]

You can turn lit. everything on Windows11 into Xbox FSE overlay, so that ad is pointless as it will be intergrated in the W11 updates.

It isn't the worst pun... Not sure if it is going to convince people to buy whatever that is, I do not understand what this ad is trying to sell me.

Also who is this guy? Is he a famous athlete? I hope so, because he is not a good actor. The ad would be less cringe if there was better delivery

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Yeah... no

It is not a bad ad, is just that, is only to promote more services and stuff, like zero games on it. You can see that the ones that designed this ad dont play games that much.

I dont know, i would have put Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, or any other hijacked IP from MS on the ring, talk about games and THEN say "Did you know that everything is an Xbox (for s subscription price ofc)".

Dang it, how far gaming as an industry have fallen:

And normies will tell us "it is good today as well! ok!"

However, I think Microsoft is starting to overdo it. It's somehow getting worse and more embarrassing.

 

[Bakuma1997]

"we have a product for those customers and it's called the xbox 360" Ahh moment

 

[iamthemilkman]

Xbox needs to bring back Peter Moore and J Allard if they want any chance of success. Those men took the brand to its peak and then Don Mattrick and Phil Spencer threw it off the cliff.

 

[Luxfin]

To quote the AVGN:
It blows my mind. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?

This shite is why I cancelled my Game pass subscription and now treat my Xbox Series as a Streaming service/Home Video platform.

I was waiting for his ex to show her box. Missed opportunity.

I'm not really feeling the new batch of Xbox ads in general.
The one with the 2 dudes playing NES in the basement starts off actually kinda neat! Where he takes out the cartridge then plays it like a harmonica. Felt like it there was some soul there or something.
But then it just cuts to them browsing through games on gamepass in total silence. Which I think is a slight oxymoron because it's just showing a lack of charm. Idk, maybe that's just me.

 

[moonbits]

damn, that's cringe
