I mean I can immediately improve sales in Xbox:

Re nude Cortana and make it standard that any female characters have to LOOK like female characters

Stop all ESG shit so no just disparaging men for being men

Copy Helldivers 2 microtransactions where you can pay for new stuff or earn it in game so it's more 'pay to skip'

I just think at the root of the woes of all these gaming studios and divisions is none of them actually PLAY games, all they see is a profit margin so have no idea on how to make a product for the customers they are appealing to.

It is a sad state of affairs that evil has become so common that even consumer are arguing for a lesser evil as solution.

They would have to do more than this to save Halo.

Bonnie Ross was basically the Kathleen Kennedy of Xbox, and under her they’ve had the same bullshit of hiring people who didn’t like the original games.

They need to throw out everything post-Bungie, disband 343, and take a break. Then bring back Martin O’Donnell and some of the original devs and artists in a few years.

I'd like to add 3 things:

Give Forza 2023 a proper career mode like FM4 that takes full advantage of the game's car and circuit roster and includes a variety of modes like circuit racing, off road racing, drifting, drag racing, etc. Make it lengthy enough to feel like meaningful progression is possible and fully playable for those without an Internet connection.

Broker deals with the licensed race series from FM6-7 like IMSA, IndyCar, NASCAR, Repco Supercars, etc. to include their current cars and flesh out their selection of paint jobs for them. This would considerably boost Forza 2023's connection to real world motorsports.

Release a patch for Horizon 5 that quietly removes the pronouns from the character customization, especially in the wake of the research from the past few years that confirms them as a symptom of a mental illness.
