The problem is that they really dont have must play games (imo) and if they do release one, people can play them on pc.
The Europeans don't seem to...lol
I agree it's their fault; it has been mentioned on this site a million times already. I am more interested in what they should do after looking at this latest piece of information.Whose fault is it then, if not Microsoft's?
Xbox One launches in 28 new countries this month
Microsoft has announced a slew of launch dates for the Xbox One this month where it will launch in 28 additional territ…www.eurogamer.net
Lest we forget.

It doesn't help that some of the games they do release, whilst showing promise, are released in pretty sorry states. Sorry states aren't uncommon in the game industry (AAA) but when two of your flagship titles, Halo and Forza are released as they were - barebones or/and buggy it makes people hesitant and wary.
It's no secret that they have had issues developing and releasing first party titles (as is the acquisitions to try and rectify that), but it really doesn't help when they do come along (add Redfall) they are released in the way they are. It's a double punch of waiting a long time for games to arrive and then finding they don't meet expectations.
I think there are lot of potential Xbox owners, but with how entrenched Sony and Nintendo are, and with the introduction of the likes of Steam Deck (and other pc tablets) and VR, the gaming space is a lot smaller for Microsoft. Companion consoles and gaming has changed a lot in the last 5 years. Then there is potentially Apple coming into, especially if they bring their Chip to Apple TV's.
As it I been close to buying a Xbox series s or X over the last couple of weeks. Despite the Myriad of issues, Forza is speaking to me, and so is Halo off the back of the good work that has gone into it. Still havnt pulled the trigger yet.

When most systems share 98% of the same games at the same fidelity, it's mostly mindshare, gardens, history, and marketing.
Nobody is going out to buy an Xbox for hifi rush or flight sim if they already have a PC.
