Console gaming is a 'good and established business,' and console represents a 'really healthy part' of Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, Phil Spencer says.
Updates that fix bugs come to PC far earlier than Xbox sometimes never coming at all. Games, when not on gamepass, even from Microsoft, are typically cheaper on other platforms. And sometimes they just don’t even put content on the Xbox
Last fall was halo 2’s 20th anniversary. If you only played Xbox, you could have forgotten it. Microsoft did nothing on the Xbox about it. But on PC, they promoted the released E3 demo levels
Finally there’s the lack of investment in any hardware upgrades. The controllers still use the same crap alps stick modules, the vibration is still two big dumb motors, and the buttons are still just graphite pads on a PCB. Even on the $200 elite controllers. There’s no single channel wireless headset available first party, just stereo ones, and the add on storage still remains horrifically overpriced years later
