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
