Instead of the beating dead horse of how microsoft screwed up their promotion for this gen's console, what would they have to change in order to get more people to see them in a more positive light.
-
1) Get rid of the Windows 8 style menus 2) Make the invites and messaging as easy and simple as it used to be on the 360 3) make people's GT's show where they are from again. 4) Re implement the Avoid Player feature, and MAKE IT WORK THIS TIME. 5) Make the Kinect so you can set up your own commands 6) GET MORE GAMES ON IT 7) Make it as fast as they said it was going to be. Getting from menu to game takes way too long for a NEXT GEN system. 8) Make the controller have a separate button on it to 'Record that', so you don't have to scream it while your friends are having to listen to it every 30 seconds when you make that EPIC NO SCOPE!!!!! Seriously, this is annoying and gets people muted. If they would just overlay the 360's utilities and get more games on it, I'd use it. Right now the dang thing has been a $400.00+ paperweight since March.

Get Rare to make good games. Offer free hardware upgrades.

Replace all of the Microsoft employees in favor of the original XB1 as announced, then provide a formal apology.
-
They can't do anything more. It's just that the bandwagon made their decision a long time ago to favour PS instead, despite the fact that the XB1 is undoubtedly the best console on the market. MS are powerless tbh.

A new ip that kicks ass! I got bored with the xbox exclusives and really wanted to try out the playstation ones eg. Infamous, uncharted, god of war etc hence why I moved over the the playstations. Something that will make me interested in an xbox again would be good :D

Xbox had halo and gears of war. Thats the only thing i was jealous about when i had a ps3

They need time and games. Seeing as the entire Gen has started off as a gen of disappointment and unmet expectations, MS can't really do anything until it can sell a solid title. Oh and one that won't be gimped by last gen. Better commercials would help too. They are supposed to be selling fun, and MS commercials do no get the "fun" across to the viewer. Aaron Paul talking about how he doesnt have time to play with his cool new XBone, but "oh look at the features", is not selling the fun of the experience on XBOne, and the commercials with gameplay over movie speeches are just awful....the Rocky one being the worst.

When games get released for it.

They just have to make good games and listen to their community. They've done a pretty good job with the latter so far.
-
They shouldn't have quit their own idea, if they wanted the kinetic then they should have kept with it. They could have had potential if they just caught the right idea

Edited by ballunix: 8/26/2014 9:33:07 AMWell, the horse may be dead, but it's probably nothing more than people getting that bitter taste out of their mouths. And now that MS has a holiday season approaching with 3 bundles (all Kinect-less) to appeal to different tastes, they should be back on their feet in no time. Part of the problem is the 'law of small numbers,' which will tell you that if they both sell 10 million units in the next year ( and if they've really only moved 5 at this point), then at the en of next year it'll be 15M vs. 20M, which still reads as a third more. Really, it will just take time before they can start to seem like it's an even market (early leads are tough to overcome). Well, obviously, they could buy another 'Halo' type game, but it is harder-and-harder to imagine that happening these days. Oh, and for anybody that likes the sort of 'Maths' that the H2G2 always invokes, the law of small numbers is a wonderful thing. Or, rather, a million things. Without question it isn't a law (because of its not-being-one-thing, if nought else), it rarely ever stands a chance to be properly quantified, and it's very usually wrong. All that being taken as read, it's one of the most powerful laws you'll ever meet in your travels, so I'd recommend you get yourself a couple of nice, stiff Gin and Tonics enjoyed in a good comfy chair and read up on it for the next few years. Fascinating stuff.

Sunset overdrive plus mcc plus 100$ price drop

The MCC.

I imagine actual new good original games. Bringing out a collection of classic old Halo games with a brand new console just undermines that consoles integrity and "underlines the pointlessness of the new console".

PlayStation network crashes again. Might require two more incidents. After that Xbone will have more players.
