I had to take an 18 month absence from social media due to medical issues. Still recovering and slowly getting better. I’m glad I’m back to share my love of gaming, movies and sports. But, more importantly, I want to thank those who welcomed me back with open arms 🤗❤️ Kindness is king. Appreciate it.

I think I'm going back to Rebecca Barton. She's pretty cool. Will give me a good starting point to test the new changes.

@danno_omen Definitely agree with the last part. There will be bad news before it gets better and that's not on Asha. The industry as a whole is hurting right now

I think it’s time for me to admit I was wrong about Phil Spencer based on what’s coming out now. I think Phil is a gamer at heart and he made some great decisions. Some of those decisions didn’t end up working out. I think his idea and vision was great in theory but bad in practice. He’s great at getting people to believe in what he’s saying as well. He was the expert at saying a lot without saying very much. It kind of reminds me of a coach who is good at rallying his team but not really understanding the X’s and O’s. His ambition ultimately led to damaging the business. Filling the holes in the lineup was great, but then spending 5 years ramping up all those studios with nothing to show for it hurts, and now those studios might be in trouble. There’s likely going to be posts and articles completely burying Phil and I won’t quite go that far, as I said he did some good things and I do think he meant well. There is a light at the end of this tunnel Xbox is in and part of that light is the things Phil put into place. But he also drove the bus into that tunnel in the first place (likely with some help from Satya) We will see what the future holds and how Asha navigates this but expect so crappy news before we get back to the good.

@DMC_Ryan The industry is facing tough economic challenges. I wan the Xbox business to be healthy again; I want the team laser focused on games, delivering value to gamers and their next console. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Wild to put this out there RIGHT on the heels of a great weekend for Xbox where they had a fantastic Showcase. I was hoping the rakes all got picked up and destroyed when Asha took over, but it seems there are still a few around campus for Xbox to step on. ☹️

We just shared with our team the realities we need to navigate as we work to reset the XBOX business. We won't succeed by hiding hard truths, nor will we succeed by doing the same thing and expecting different results. See the note here: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/…

This probably won't mean much to anyone but me but I always had my graphics at Medium because of the optimization. NOW it's looking pretty damn sexy since they've changed optimization around. I can't believe how pretty this start area is now. The waterfalls are great.

Reset was needed. New leadership, new strategy, new logo, new focus, etc. Return to classic roots that made brand at peak while also adapting for the modern era of tech and community. Can't fix a dreadnaught operation overnight, will take time. I believe new XBOX can be saved.

Just got home from work, Freddie did very well on his surgery for being neutered. The animal doctor said he did very good. This is him while I was driving home from work, after the fiancé got home with him Thanks everyone for your support, he will be collecting sticks soon.

@mcquack306 If you look at all of the layoffs across the industry, I can’t say that I agree. Activision would have laid off so many employees before Xbox bought them out. They were bleeding before the acquisition. Just one man’s opinion

TL/DR: because we spent so much revenue on future projects and acquiring other publishers in the last 5 years, we need to cut jobs to balance the sheet so I look like my moves are actually improving and showcasing profits than my predecessor.
Wario64@Wario64

“Excluding Activision Blizzard King, over the past five years, we have spent over $20 billion on ongoing investments in our content, platform and hardware subsidy, but our annual revenue has declined nearly half a billion during that time,” Asha wrote. “Going forward, this cannot continue.”

Sadly, the industry has been experiencing many economic challenges and some significant course correction is needed. This requires Asha to take a fresh hard look at the Xbox business which has also had some missteps along the way. The next 100 days may be difficult for XBOX but I’m still optimistic that the best is yet to come for all. I have faith. ❤️ Xbox 💪 #xbox @XBOX @XBOXGamePass @XBOXGamePassPC @asha_shar
