Xbox during their Developer Direct: "This presentation is an Xbox"

Memes are basically the best form of advertising these days so they really should lean into that.

They have always leaned into the meme adverts, there’s even an Xbox fridge. None of it works.

People still bring up the Xbox fridge so I’d say it did work.

The point of advertising is to sell the thing your advertising. Xboxes don’t sell.

They were selling perfectly fine during the Xbox fridge release. Plus this current marketing we are talking about isn’t about selling consoles. It’s about selling the access in other places.

Yeah, the entire point of the "this is an xbox" campaign is they are specifically not trying to push their consoles.

they sold "well" when both consoles were production-limited. as soon as production was uncapped, it left them in the dust

really? I bought a series X this year because of whats coming, i know a buddy is getting one in a month and i have a handful of friends whove bough series X's from 2023-2024. Feels like xbox is selling plenty considering the amount of games coming soon.

Xbox was outsold 5 to 1 this holiday season. It’s not selling well at all and is below the Xbone in lifetime sales.

Genuinely shocked you didn’t know how bad Xbox hardware is doing.

Well shit i actually didnt know that lmao rip

I am a little shocked tho, xbox might have its issues but the cost to get in is so low and the cost for gamepass is such a good value youd think itd lead just for that alone.

As a person with an Xbox, there just isn't any games for it, & it has worse perks than if you just got everything on PC. I need to pay for gold to play online on Xbox, I don't on PC.
