THey are dead friend. This news burried any hope Xbox had with devs and fans.
From now on, no one will give a crap about Xbox.

Oh wow, the thing I reacted to was the fact it was so clearly photoshopped. Looking at the other pictures it's clear they're not only shopped but screams AI made...No idea, but clearly her or someone who manages her PR though it was appropriate to send in for this interview:
Xbox’s Sarah Bond Is Unleashing a Generation of “Citizen Creators”
Sarah Bond has led Microsoft's gaming division to new heights with Game Pass and ID @ Xbox. In an exclusive interview with Inverse, she unveils her vision for the future of video games.www.inverse.com

That's right, they are much bigger than that. Every screen is an Xbox. You are currently browsing NeoGAF on an Xbox.

J Allard? Peter Moore? A man can dream. At least they knew that consoles are about games.

People need to get it in their heads that Xbox is heading towards being a bigger EA or Activision, the idea that they will be making anything inventive needs to go out of the window because their console business has fully erupted into flames at this point. This is going to be the Elder Scrolls + Call of Duty house now.
As such, you should expect the most soulless and manipulative person imaginable to take that hot seat, and when you think about it, that means Phil is still the man for the job.

I think Xbox going forward is not something that would need saving... I doubt it would even be anything like the Xbox we know today... which isn't even like the Xbox from 2006...

Looking at the OP’s user name got me thinking: Sega fans has been flocking at Xbox since the company bombed itself in the 90s. At least it’s so so big that they can’t be crushed under the weight of Sony and Nintendo. Finding safety in the logic that this time history can’t repeat itself. And now this new brand somehow has managed to success into irrelevance, being the biggest publisher ever with the tiniest hardware sales. So, my theory is… I think it’s the fans. They are cursed. Maybe they’ll flock to whoever giant enterprise comes next, something like Apple, and they’ll sink it with the power of being Saturn owners.

Whats for certain is that if Sarah Bond is the new face and decision maker you might as well bury the entire xbox brand, that girl has never played a game in her entire life. how can she course correct? Its a bit like when the google CEO came out on stage during the stadia unveling and said "You know, im not much of a gamer."
Nadella and CO probably dont see the value of a more diverse portfolio of games and wants to risk manage by betting on big hitters like cod, halo etc.
Say what you want about Phil's ability to run a profitable buisness etc, but he at least understood that you need to have amore diverse lineup, he even brought pso2 to the west, for that i will be gratefull. Whatever is in store for xbox is probably trash.

Don't replace him with anything, just end the failed experiment.
Xbox has literally only managed to find success when their direct competition hands it to them by way of complete failure themselves. They had like 3 years of good times while Sony and Nintendo were busy shooting themselves in the foot.

Exactly. The idea that Phil is continually selling, that of him doing all this to keep Xbox alive is just not true. He's laying the groundwork for Microsoft Gaming to replace Xbox.
(Also welcome back fellow gunner)
I'll take whatever version. Xbox was doing well until he left in 2010. First and third party exclusives were fairly good on Xbox and Xbox 360 until then.But this version....

I do not believe that Spencer is behind any of these decisions.
Everything that Microsoft is currently doing is contrary to what Spencer was doing.

I don’t know who’s to blame here but I’m so tired of the lies and the we hear you talks and just plain bad planning and decisions over so many years. I’m not even sure Phil is a gamer anymore, he surely pretend to be but I saw him playing on PC at an event and the way he had the fingers on the keyboard made me think he has never played a game with WASD controls before.
And Sarah is all smiles and just I doubt she’s a gamer.
I have no idea who would take that spot. Not sure a spot is needed soon anyway thecway things are going. Maybe they can hire Phil Harrison to be a fall guy.

Pretty obvious they will promote Sarah Bond because MS is all in on diversity over anything else. A woman of color running Xbox would make them look so brave and stunning. I guarantee she will replace Phil once he is either fired or steps down. That’s why she has been in the picture for a while now and is being groomed.
Xbox has become a bloody joke anymore.

What is wrong with the Xbox brand? Exclusives matter
I currently do not own an xbox but loved the original OG Xbox and Xbox 360. It is not a complicated formula on why the Xbox brand has been failing. At the end of the day, what really matters are the games. The PS5 has so many more exclusive games it wipes it's ass with the Xbox brand. On PS5 I...

You're buttering up the new head of Xbox, just tell us who it is already!I don’t know who’s to blame here but I’m so tired of the lies and the we hear you talks and just plain bad planning and decisions over so many years.

It’s hard to believe Phil (or anyone in this world) is that incompetent, it has to be intentional from above.
