One of the founding members of the Xbox team has questioned Microsoft’s multiplatform gaming strategy, and said they believe the Xbox hardware business is effectively “dead"
Replies(3)Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.
If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off
Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need
Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.
Nintendo president comments on the situation with Switch 2 stock and apologizes for shortages.
I might get one in a couple years but I’m in no hurry. Nothing at launch I want to play.
you basically has no choice because it only has old games with ONE new exclusive and a scummy paid demo. old games are all you have and you fanboys are eating it up and let Nintendo get away with this.
If there are no shortages then why can't we just easily order a Switch 2 online, from Best Buy, Target, Newegg, Amazon etc. No shortages means we can get it by any means, online or in store.
There isn't one in US, I saw plenty posting pictures of it many stores in still have plenty in stock.
This is just them referring to stock situation mostly in Japan.
Sounds like he low key also spreading FOMO pressuring people to go out and buy one for no good reason?
It's not exactly flying off the shelves here in Thailand though, there's basically no real hype here at all other than the fanboys lining up for it the first few days.
You can easily order one right now in Thailand from all the official authorized stores, not out of stock at all.
The price of 17800 THB or around 550 USD here for a standard SKU and high game prices probably has a lot to do with it.
the standalone Switch 2 is more expensive than the PS5 slim in Malaysia and just $2 cheaper than the Disc PS5 Slim. what a rip-off
Owlcat Games producer Anatoly Shestov reveals his dream project: an SCP game with Owlcat RPG flair and a proper budget.
The title of this headline should say "one publisher" not "one developer."
For me I don't think Nintendo made a bad game for the wiiu. It had the most exclusives out of all 3 that I wanted but it just did not get the 3rd party support but I also think that Nintendo messed up by calling it the wiiu. Alot of people thought it was a Wii add on.
The wiiu was a good idea but I do think after owning the switch and wiiu the switch is the console the wiiu should of been.
I also think the 3rd party's were to blame on the lack of 3rd party sales though. For me I got cod and FIFA on the wiiu and compared to the 360 and PS4 versions at the time they looked the best but lacked content and why should someone buy a game with less content than on another consoles?
Going forward though I think if Nintendo can keep making the steps they are with the switch it could be a massive hit going forward and also set the base for having all their games on one console to. We all know when Pokémon comes out that sales will jump up alot esp in Japan and the switch also makes for a fully open world Pokémon game to which could be the best one we have ever seen for me the new Zelda is the best I have played with windwaker my 2nd best.
until nintendo ports over all their solid wii u titles then the wii u is a better buy at this point
