Back in 2022, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer revealed that Microsoft lost between $100 to $200 on every console sold.

For reference, Sony was recently boasting that PS5 sold over 80 million copies. This is terrible for Xbox.

        It only had a nice and responsive UI at the start of the generation. It was a slow, sloppy, ad-riddled mess at the end.

          Agreed, I guess I meant it potentially had a great interface, I have memories (I SWEAR they are real -I scream into the void) that the xbox 360 had a really slick interface at one point with very clear effective panels/tabs that was progressively enshittified… but if it hadn’t… it would have been nice.

          That was a different timeline, if such a one where microsoft didn’t enshittify xbox exists.

        OG Xbox was great. PS3 was great. Even PSP. Nintendo switch was so-so. Didn’t like the other Xbox ones
