Industry analyst Michael Pachter believes Microsoft will make two variants for the next Xbox- a streaming device, and another, more traditional console.
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
What? I though it was common knowlodge. Lol.
Really pacther? Nothing new here
🤦♂️
Wow! What a guess Pachter. How does he get his knowledge so fast? /S
Here's my prediction: Market flooding. Another Microsoft Modus Operandi tactic.
They flooded the market with xbox 360s to try and reach 10 million. And claimed the first to 10 million wins. But the following year, their sales slowed because there were too many systems in the channel.

Most likely flooded the channel with Kinects and used huge marketing dollars to oversell an under performing device to get casual sales and ride the motion control hype train.

They flooded the PC vr market with partner hmds to undercut the competition. Most likely using windows 10 incentives for the hardware makers. Was it necessary to have **6 hmds** all doing the same thing with the same spec? But not make one yourself? And the next tactic?
Flood the gaming market. They'll sell a streaming box console with game pass probably for $199 to $299 to undercut any price of PS5 which will probably be $399. Release a regular next Gen xbox for $399-$499. Release x cloud and the fee will probably be $20 or so a month on top of the $60 to $70 XBL fee.
So, instead of one box with one set of games, and their failing this Gen to sell one box with one set of games,(Pushing them to diversify their exclusives all over the place) they're going to toss everything out there to try and overshadow everybody.
I tend to think that they would more likely be looking at releasing a next generation console(Xbox Two) with a disc drive and then have one without a disc drive as a cheaper option.
For the rumor of the other two consoles that they are apparently going to release, I think there will simply be a discless Xbox One X and possibly a really small form factor, discless Xbox One S, which could also do game streaming.
If they do it this way, then game downloads are also an option. Not to mention, that I'm sure they could really shrink the Xbox One S hardware down to where a discless version would be less than half the size of an Xbox One X.
