Gamrfeed writes: With rumours are at an all-time high and Nintendo’s Project Cafe about to make its debut, it's pretty clear that we are on the cusp of the next generation of gaming. To top it all off, E3 is just around around the corner.
The latest Switch firmware update kills off support for the Elon Musk-owned social media company.
After having to prove itself for years, Xbox doubled down and pulled it off..
Yep Xbox absolutely knocked it out of the park with that stunning show, it was everything a gaming showcase should be, games games and games, well done team Xbox.
It really did. Like I came out of that with the hype for new games I haven’t felt since… well the better years of E3.
It was without a doubt one of the better showcases in years. There was plenty there that excited me. Something has been lacking in years on all platforms
It was an amazing showcase I loved everything about it. Can't wait to play some of those games.
What's going on. 4 comments & no negatives yet. Wow, what's going on with N4G.
Show was so good, it made me forget about that blue dragon rumor until the next day. Too many games to process.
Shahmeer from eXputer: "The new Xbox strategy to go multi-platform could eventually change console gaming as we know it, and I am concerned."
Can we stop pretending that Xbox has any great influence over the console market?
All they can do is try and steer their own Destiny. They have very little to do with what the other players in the console market are doing.
And yes, going 3rd party is pretty much their only option and is good for them.
We need to stop pretending like Xbox matters and has any influence in the industry.
By entering the industry, Microsoft made it worst, everything bad in the industry can be tied to them (like paid online and DLCs). The industry would be better off if they had never been in it.
Before you say Sony would have no competition, they would still have PC and Nintendo. As they are right now, Microsoft are not competition, they don't actually matter.
I think in Xbox’s direness it is, but let’s not pretend like they don’t understand the value of exclusiveness to their platform. Not every damn Xbox game is coming to PS5 and the stuff that has hit have either been GaaS games or games that didn’t exactly sell gamgbusters and are extremely niche.
When Halo, Gears, Forza, Perfect Dark, Fable, etc. start coming to PS5 then that’s pretty massive and also diminishes any reason to own an Xbox.
It's the only decision. Hardware sales are on a sharp decline and Game Pass growth has stagnated.
next gen each system should come with a sausage so fanboys can literally have something to suck on since that's all they're doing anyway.
it will also make comparisons easier - as in my sausage is bigger than yours, but as always there will be fanboys who can't win that say the sausage's taste is what matters most instead.
OK, so the sausage idea is a bad one since we all know around Christmas time Microsoft will offer 2 sauasges for the price of one so fanboys can take one at both ends and it's pointless to argue with them then
This article is pretty terrible.
It doesnt even include the most important things
1) lower development costs
2) More diversity and originality
3) More quantity
4) more transparency in terms of security risks and issues
And dd is the future? You could of fooled me. Considering 75 percent of software sales is physical and hackers are trying to take online apart
Digital distribution... not this argument. Not going to happen for at least 10 or 20 years because of the cost of installing fast broadband. 50mb is one thing but downloading a game is going to take a long time and also everyone downloading at the same time (Crashing servers rings a bell)
How about instead of focusing on the next generation, we focus on the current generation and how we can make it better...
i say no for digital distribution just imagine you buy a game and download it just to find out the game is piece of crap. what can you do? nothing you already bought it
