From Cinelinx:
Intellivision's Amico shows a lot more promise than expected during their E3 2021 presentation, but will gamers care?
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.
Hardware manufacturer Moza debuted several new hardware peripherals for flight simulation at FlightSimExpo 2025.
As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.
hahahaha
god i had so much trouble with those damn fking birds, monkeys and giraffes haha
The golden age. No ESRB*. No ratings at all. It was glorious.
*I know the ESRB was formed by the industry to prevent others from stepping in and taking control.
Interesting on ESRB. “ The industry, pressured with potential government oversight of video game ratings from these hearings, established both the IDSA and the ESRB within it to create a voluntary rating system based on the Motion Picture Association film rating system with additional considerations for video game interactivity.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...
Is that how the industry isn’t required to offer consumers a transferable digital token to sell games they no longer play or maybe don’t like? And then treat us all like pirates? That’s how the government is not involved, they had to placate the situation to avoid oversight.
much like the Atari VCS these systems are aimed purely at the older crowd relying on a strong sense of nostalgia. While it might be able to offer some new experiences, the vast majority of people that want this thing want it for the old library of games they grew up on. I got the Atari VCS and while it was a novelty to play some of the games again, honestly I sort of regret my purchase.
"Gamers" with a capital G? No, not really. But it is very clearly not aimed at gamers, it is aimed at the average family; a device for households that have only ever owned a Wii. It's a neat concept, but it's clearly too simplistic for your average gamer.
Intellivision one of my first consoles, I think it had like pong or tennis built in with the controllers connected to the system.
This new thing is definitely for casuals or even small kids it seems. Some neat features though
