Xbox is reportedly “such a mess right now” according to insider

Over the past few years, we have seen Microsoft struggle to know what to do with Xbox, with the console manufacturer altering its short and medium-term strategies surprisingly often. In amongst talk of a next-gen Xbox handheld, Microsoft games coming to PlayStation and more, one insider is claiming that “Xbox is such a mess right now.”

As revealed by trusted industry insider Jason Schreier during the latest episode of the Spawncast, in discussing the current state of Xbox, Schreier had some sobering words to say:

“Xbox is such a mess right now, I feel like their plan is changing every single year. Right now they're talking about teasing handheld over and over again but who knows? A year ago, they were saying Indiana Jones was never coming to PlayStation so like, they change their minds every month. They're just a disaster over there, it's really sad.”

As mentioned, Microsoft has been making some pretty big moves within the industry over the past few years, from spending $70 Billion to acquire Activision-Blizzard to shutting down acclaimed studios (Tango Gameworks), only to then say they need more studios just like it – a plan which seems to constantly be in-flux.

All that said, time will tell what Xbox will wind up sticking with as its long-term strategy in the industry.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
