Thanks for watching guys, this one was a heck of a trip.

Halo was the reason a lot of people bought Xbox’s and now that game is in shambles. That plays a huge factor

[Takato]

Xbox nowadays isn't about Xbox anymore. This is Microsoft Gaming.

For me personally, there was a very specific reason why I loved the 360. My parents were divorced and I'd change houses every saturday. Because of this, I had a 360 at my dads house and a second 360 at my moms house. The beauty of the 360 was that you could take off the hard drive and swap them between consoles. So every week, I'd just bring the HD along with me and continued playing.

And ofcourse the massive catalog of great SINGLE PLAYER games. This video touched on GoW and Halo 3, but don't forget the golden COD run of MW1, MW2, Black Ops & Black Ops 2. You had GTA4, TLAD, TBOGT, & GTA5. Ac2 & AC Brotherhood were also fantastic. And don't get me started on Halo Reach, imho the greatest Halo to this day. The 360 era was so great because all of those gaming titles were in their prime too.

"they chase the people that don't care about their products" is so 2010s and 2020s. Seems like every franchise, ever company, every studio is doing just that, ignoring their core audience and just chase ghosts, ghosts who don't buy their products

[AustinOgonoski]

Xbox 360 thrived on console exclusives. PGR and Forza sold me. Halo 3 sold all of my friends. When those franchises went to shit, I stopped caring.

Shame on Xbox and Microsoft. They had it all in their hands and they fumbled, bad. They’re still chasing an audience, though. Modern Audiences.

[PotatoFarter]

I'm almost 34, when I talk to these kids who are just a few years younger than me I feel like I'm talking to someone from a different time period. It's amazing and sad how quickly gaming changed.

[xKamix]

As Phil Spencer once famously put it "If we lose our way with Halo, we lose our way with Xbox"

343 Industries didn't just kill Halo. 343 Industries ruined Xbox's identity.

[UltimateFlowObjects]

Listening to you talk about the halo 2 release made me legit cry. Rip to the hood ol days

[azaelandy]

that E3 2013 moment was the single biggest mistake Xbox made and haven’t recovered since. Sony been fumbling for a minute and Xbox still can’t catch up

[prekx]

Youtubers like you are to game journalists what indie game creators are to AAA devs, you bring us the content that the more established brands seem to close their eyes to over and over again.

[PunksterOS]

I disagree that they are buying their way _OUT_ of problems, I think they are *buying their way **_INTO_** problems.*
The acquisitions of studios, only to close them, is a desperate move by a company that has spent too much and put out nothing of worth.

[FrancisYorkMorganFBI]

one thing that always makes me chuckles are the bethesda and activision buy-outs.
if you told young me 10 years ago that bethesda, activison as well as blizzard would become xbox studios, i would tell you that you from now on NEED to own an xbox system.
Now tho. who cares? bethesda can't make a modern RPG to save their lives and activison-blizzard-king is really goddamn disgusting.
i legit couldn't care less about a new elder scrolls and i am to old to still give that much of a shit about COD or be hyped for a new WOW expansion.

Gears of War - November 7, 2006
Resident Evil 4 - January 11, 2005

[PunksterOS]

Small correction: Resident Evil 4 was the first to try the over-the-shoulder camera angle, Gears of War couldn't possibly inspired that, seeing how RE4 was released in 2005, while Gears was released in 2006.

“In their future the console is no longer the endgame, instead they are aiming for a world where subscriptions reign supreme - this shift isn’t about convenience for the customer, it’s about control.”

52:09 for the timestamp.

This is scary stuff. I don’t like where we are headed.

I worked at EB Games (Canadian version of GameStop) for the Halo2 midnight launch. It was absolutely insane the hype that was there. Even us employees working were super stoked about it.

[lexfrenchy]

Interesting video to me because I am a "Sony kid" that only owned Playstation systems since the PS1 era. My interests in videogames are solo player experiences, and heavily story focused games like RPGs, so I never actually played Halo nor Gears (I do own the Masterchief collection on PC now but don't have time to play it for now).

So I am not super aware of it is for Xbox fans these days compares to how it was back then.
Yeah, it was a quite informative video. Thanks.

Thinking about the Xbox 360 and the dashboard brings tears to my eyes. The sound it made when you got an achievement made it feel like and accomplishment. Good times
