Xbox isn't just for hardcore gamers anymore. It's the center of a whole entertainment ecosystem that goes way beyond the living room. Music, movies, social and games converge and become accessible across any device, anywhere, and that's just the beginning. We are revolutionizing entertainment right now.
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not
It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
XDefiant was originally supposed to be out in summer 2023, but following a seemingly-successful beta test in April of that year, it was bumped to October 2023, and then delayed again to an unspecified future date. In its February 2024 financial report, Ubisoft slated XDefiant for launch in the fourth quarter of its 2023-24 fiscal year, which ended March 31.
A week before that date arrived, rumors surfaced that the game would be delayed yet again, and a few days later Ubisoft made it official.
"The game has always been community-first, with player feedback as a top priority," the development team said in the update. "While we hoped to go live by the end of March, there are still some improvements that we need to test before that."
Ubisoft said it's "finishing preparations" for a server stress test that will run for 12 hours on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. "After this short test, we expected to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future!"
The previous news was from the team/rumors this is ubisoft themselves now saying the game is delayed again no new date set but they will have a stress test on a date that has not been set.
So the game is delayed to _____ TBD
Network stress test at ____ TBD
Ubisoft we make games whenever for whoever we just do not care

I'm just going to be honest here and say what people seem to not want to, XDefiant success is going to be short-lived and it's because it's a game that's going to be under Ubisoft's umbrella. The development team can be absolute rockstars, but with Ubisoft steering the ship it's not going to go anywhere.
It could be a truely amazing game (it won't be) but with Ubisoft it will be monitized within a inch of its life.
The game is dead move on. It's the same with the Finals. These short period hype games doesn't last.
thing is both consoles (ps4 and nextbox) will be trying to say we are the console that does everything we are for your living room.
But I have sky and a laptop so I got TV and internet straight away. I am still pretty much a retro gamer. I only play offline i rarely come on I like to have my single player maybe multiplayer (split screen) action and then move on.
I understand gamers want more choice and consoles need to appeal to bigger audience but honestly I am not fussed what it can do outside of playing games.
Interesting the pictures it shows, and the one that it doesn't show. All I know is it shows they either have their eyes, or mind on gaming, and Kinect will be used to speak to... a lot. Maybe like Siri. Looks like we'll have email, sharing videos/capture videos, music... all sorts of stuff. I like it. I like that there looks to be some sort of playing on your pc your xbox game, then playing it on your console when you get home, or vice versa, or on your phone and so on.
I wish these comapnies would be a bit more in touch with thier userbase. I don't recall anyone actually asking to have FB integrated with thier UI or Cable on thier Dashboard. We all Own a PC(thats why we have Live\PSN) and we all own Cable....thats why we, you know, have a TV to play games on. Stop trying to sell us something twice just because smartphones have success in the area. the Appeal with a phone is it's mobility. not impressed with FB from my livingroom
Well none of us know exactly what Nextbox and PS4 will deliver as entertainment hubs. But we can look at our current consoles. PS3 has all the entertainment facilities and capabilities you need currently, the best games. free online gaming. superior and beautiful movie playback in digital, DVD, BluRay, and streamed formats. superior audio output. many music playback and photo album options, built in Wi-Fi and a HDD in every box. DTV recorder plug in. ability to interface with your Desktop ect. The list goes on and on.
The Xbox 360 is great, but really, it can't even play a DVD properly. I could spend £9.99 at Asda and get a better movie watching experience. The Nextbox will need to do better for my money.
Talk, or text, is cheap. For the next gen I look at the superior PS3 and I trust Sony to deliver with Playstation 4.
I believe The Nextbox will be good, if I look at the capable 360, just not good enough to beat the best in my eyes.
Both the nextbox and ps4 are day1 for me. As was the WiiU, i guess i just love new gaming tech and i love to play games.
