Just delayed. This is their intent.

Indeed. We on N4G said this like two gens ago.

The future of consoles under MS. Just like DRM, this is where MS is taking us.

Profchaos327d ago (Edited 327d ago )

Fairly redundant when it could just be a app on a smart tv these days so understandable why it was cancelled they say manufacturing costs but I think it wouldn't of sold great like Chromecasts they were popular a few years back but now everyone has a smart tv.

I can already cast ge force now and PS remote play native on android tv afterall not to mention a decent tv has enough power to emulate up to PS1/N64 levels

It's kinda pointless when you have smart TVs that can do the same thing... and with the PlayStation Portal device, you can simply use a smartphone with better specs.

Phil Spencer, 2022: We canceled Xbox Keystone because it was more expensive than our targeted price of $99.

Phil Spencer, 2024: We proudly introduce our new disc-less Xbox Series X for $599

mkis007327d ago

The 2tb discdrive series x is $599. The discless one is $449.

Also, it's a local device with all the hardware built in, not a streaming device? You can buy an Amazon 4K fire stick and play Xbox via cloud for $50. Amazon builds the hardware, Microsoft just had to build the app to run it (and all the backend, which was already built), so the consumer wins here.

Gamers Concerned About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Replies

Randy writes: "A) Not my call. B) If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen."

Randy: "Where are our real fans?"

*gamers stare back*

Real fan? What the actual f*** man

Does he actually read back what he writes before he posts

neutralgamer199258m ago

I was the biggest BL fan. I played the original solo for so many times. I pre ordered BL2 that loot chest edition and loved it. I bought BL3 on sale and never even touched it's DlC and have very little interest in 4th. For a series that started so strong it's just amazing how much nonsense this series has become with idiot choices

Goodguy018h ago

COD 2025 Rumored to Be Black Ops 7 to See the Return of Wallrunning Per Datamined Files in COD HQ

There's even a video of wallrunning enabled in Black Ops 6 by messing with the game's files.

Id rather have wallrunning than this omni-movement crap where people are sliding backwards upstairs.

FIELDMARSHALL_P3h ago

Just go back to normal human stuff wall running and that omni stuff is too much lol. I was good back in the day but this is too much

franwex3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Wall running while Omni jumping!!

TheColbertinator2h ago

Wallrunning is dirt in FPS games. I can only stand it in action games like Prince of Persia at best.
