Xbox has been having a hard time selling consoles lately, and it didn't get any better over the 2025 holiday quarter. The company has just reported hardware sales were down 32% year-over-year, after quarter upon quarter upon quarter of hardware declines.
Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball
Well according to Frank O’connor, a non-zero number of them hate Halo. Its why they were hired. If I had to guess, from the way they have mistreated the franchise, its more than 60% of them at the least.
💯. I remember the first game they made (halo 4 I think?) they had to go and introduce a whole new race just to put their own mark on the game. Guess what? The Prometheans were fucking stupid and that game sucked. I went from hardcore halo gamer to casual at best. I still haven’t finished 5 even though it’s installed on my PC.

I couldn’t have done it worse if I tried. Xbox is already dead, they will discontinue the Xbox console in a year or so and slowly spin down the brand.
It’s already disappeared from our game shops, it’s just PS5, Nintendo Switch and some PC accessories.
They had it all with the 360. 2013 was the beginning of the end.

Halo 5 is only like 4 hours long. It’s absolutely pathetic, nonsensical and boring AF. Now you know all this, feel free to uninstall.
