They just hired this guy, and he made those statements before that. Besides there very much is a customer they’re losing to these other things, and they’re the largest market segment in gaming. It’s just not your demographic.

What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like “hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm”
Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they’re made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.
Of course they don’t have souls so they assume gamers done either. Couldn’t be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we’re literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

let’s be real: it’s not a coincidence that sports gambling is an exploding market and sports games are shrinking. they are targeting the same people.

I’ll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams
