Microsoft's output is seriously disappointing this generation

I have not seen a single honest post from someone that is allegedly a "fan of xbox" wanting them to "improve".
Maybe, but those don't seem to be the posts that are constantly driving this thread off the rails.
I see, so you know who's an "honest" Xbox fan and who isn't? Got it.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have all had bad years from time to time, and also great years. I've lost count of the number of times each has been "doomed".
Reading different threads on this board sure does highlight some interesting discrepancies.
There have been several threads over the past couple of months highlighting where Sony has been dominating sales compared to Microsoft's YOY declines and typically the response is either:
-Focusing on the S was a mistake and things will pick up when there are more X consoles; or
-Xbox is lacking games and sales will pick up once all the acquisitions bear fruit
And yet, this thread has many stating that Sony's output is not much better than Sony's and there's another thread full of people saying the S is great and MS were correct in pushing it. Very funny to read. Not to mention the whole "Sony needs COD" nonsense I saw in the Activision thread before bailing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that gaming discourse is funny, subjective and shouldn't be taken too seriously lol.

No. All I am saying is that there has been a lot of bad faith arguing.
And plenty of reasonable discussion/folks just giving honest, non-inflammatory feedback. And this is what's wrong with a skewed view of things — you only see what you want to see.
It's fair to say most people have a favorite ecosystem, no point in pretending it's not a thing
I mean with an OP and title like this, it doesn't surprise me.
Let's break it down a little.
This is just crazy talk, but even then that's dismissing that the Xbox One had a stellar launch line up and first couple of years
"I know games aren't made in the blink of an eye" - proceeds to showcase that they don't, in fact, know that. Also regurgitates rumours and almost FUD like things right after.
Writing off an entire year because of one bad trailer in June is absolutely unhinged.
Now this is the one that really gets me. They loved a game so much they had it in the top 3 of their year, but because it wasn't a massive main stream success then it doesn't "count"?
What?
You tell me, you're getting replies from people questioning what appears to be a general statement.
You've only focused on the "bad faith" arguing. Thus, by omission, yes, you have.
So you are denying that it is possible that there has been bad faith posts?
I am not naming anyone, but I think for the most part they really stick out. You can not tell me that every post in here is constructive criticism.
Yes, because I did what you did.... oh wait, I didn't.
At no point did I say "every post in here has been constructive". Every post doesn't have to be constructive for my point to stand that there have been plenty of posts in here that sought a good conversation. If that's what you're after, you should find those folks. But, like I said, you only choose to focus on the ones you don't like, and thus, that's all you care to talk about now (i.e. seeing only what you want to see).
Lol
I understand why people have a preference for one brand over another, as it is like with everything else, but console warring is just fucking stupid and out of proportion when compared to other media.
That is obvious when you see the the monumental fights people get into here to justify or defend a particular platform. There is absolutely zero reason to either attack or defend it tooth and nail like your life depends on that. Honestly, get a fucking life.
Wanting to see your favourite team improve with dead end takes like "just do what they are doing" isn't really wanting to see your team improve imo it's jealousy
It's like when I watched the nfl and there were level headed assessments of teams and then there were some that were like "lol why don't you just get a QB like Brady and win rings ezpz"
A lot of Xbox discourse is about 10% level headed with context and seeing gradual improvements and having mature takes and a patient frame of mind and it feels the other 90% are just why haven't they made a last of us or god of war yet why do they suck
This is getting ridiculous. Be disappointed, that's fine, but this has just turned into platform wars through and through. All of these threads are locked to further discussion
