Xbox: "We’ve established a strategic, multi-year agreement with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, including our next-generation Xbox consoles. Together, we’re delivering deeper visual quality, immersive gameplay, and AI-powered experiences - grounded in a platform designed for players, not tied to a single store or device, and fully compatible with your existing Xbox game library."

TL;DR: Xbox next gen console will be fully backwards compatible and will have access to Steam and free online, also several third party manufacturers will make Xbox branded PC/Consoles

I thought AMD was already partnered with Xbox

>also several third party manufacturers will make Xbox branded PC/Consoles
That's one way to inflate your sales figures kek

I could give it a fair chance but I'm sure they would keep the MP paywall ruining the value proposition.

nice shilling gematsu faggot

>>712923558 (OP)
Good. Sony needs more competition. But it's baffling how many dumb choices Microsoft has made

>>712923558 (OP)
>devices

how about some games?

>>712924192
Microsoft is putting out games more frequently than anyone these days.

We are just 5 years into a gen with no games.

>>712924368
lmao

>>712924368
where?

>>712924368
>Microsoft is snuffing out games more frequently than anyone these days

FTFY

>We're working to ensure that Windows is the number one platform for gaming.
lawl

>>712924368
This is unironically true even if it makes snoys seethe.

So microsoft is devolving into creating a "consolized" computer instead of a dedicated Xbox game console? Isn't that what Steam's Linux shit was meant to eventually make?

>>712924810
I think the plan is to do everything, handheld, have steam on it so it can play Sony's games, improve windows for gaming because they've been catching flak for that

>>712923558 (OP)
>It's a Steam Machines-like certification for HP and Asus to slap stickers on their laptops
Xbox is fucking dead

Fucking delusional, you make Snoys and Tendies proud!

>>712923558 (OP)
What are they making a next xbox tho? What's the point?

Damn she lookin aight...

>>712925028
>they are making games but they don't count because I'm a retard
ok

>>712924810
Wasn't AMD also the most Linux friendly when came to driver updates? Kinda weird timing

>>712923853
These partnerships are usually for a period of time or per project, if they want to do something new they must form a new partnership.

What fucking games?

Doing another Xbox will be pure waste of money.

XBOX GO HOME

AMD on Linux has improved a lot, but it's kind of a weird situation. For CPUs, Intel is by far the better supporter of Linux and if you doubt this you can read through the kernel commits and see tons of people with @intel.com addresses. They routinely, sometimes even more than a year beforehand, update GCC and appropriate kernel code for new architectures and CPUs that aren't even released. In contrast, AMD often waits until *after* launch to do these updates, and for Zen4 it was months afterwards and it was shabby. In fairness, they did pre-update for Zen5, so that's good. For GPUs it's the other way around: Intel's in-kernel driver is complete shit for gaming, development, multimedia (ex. the video encoders, which are very good). They are excellent for infrastructure work, which basically means that they conform tightly to open standards for terminal and desktop forwarding, much better than AMD or Nvidia. For AMD, the in-kernel driver is "their" driver, but there's a catch: the driver is actually jsut forwarding calls to a black-box firmware that's on the GPU itself. It's not actually doing anything of any import. In this way, the AMD in-kernel driver is exactly the same as the Nvidia proprietary driver, except that they keep a notional front-end "open source" within the Linux kernel. Whether you care about that comes down to how you feel about FOSS as a philosophy. Nvidia also has an in-kernel driver, and it's shite, just totally junk unless you only care about seeing a desktop. However, Nvidia's propriety Linux driver is awesome, rock solid, better than Windows and has been for 15 years or longer. But it's completely proprietary except for a tiny bit of code that you can see.

The ps5 and the switch2 did fine without games

>>712924368
This is factually true.

>>712926502
AMD was only ever a problem on windows

>>712925028
>All multiplatform
Irrelevant.

That's just your opinion.

multiplats don't count

>>712926517
Switch 2 just released but more importantly, it have whole switch 1 catalog to fall back.

Xbox have none of that, pretty much everything is multiplat.

>>712926831
why is there a connect four in the xbox

>>712926831
We did it xitter

>>712924696
God I wish
I have some old multiplayer games I want to play but I'm not paying for online like a cuck

>>712926913
>Ps5 has ps4 catalog

Don't do that now. You just look stupid.

>>712926831
A screenshot from Twitter of an account roleplaying as Alucard?

>>712925793
That's kinda the point. Hardly anyone aside wiggers and dudebros care about Xbox, its about bruteforcing a market because they can. The more presence Microsoft has the better in their eyes, even if they bleed billions.

Xbox, xbox 360, and xbone were all sold at a loss until late in their life. They literally always lose more than they make. Microshit is literally just evil and wants to force their moneydick into every market and try to rape it.

Xbox releases more (and arguably better - at least there's some genre variety) games than Playstation. Also, most games available on PS5 can be played on an Xbox Series console.
Right now the only thing Xboxers are missing out on is sony walk n' talk over the shoulder cinematic sloppa, and they'll get those next-gen since the new Xbox will be a PC

>>712927158
This guy is the reason why Xbox is in such a great shape nowadays.

I bought one console this generation for my oled TV
I'll do the same next gen
In my head, PlayStation and Xbox are fighting like girls over me

>>712924696
If the new Xbox is just a pc with a steam overlay and game pass etc, I’d buy it.

>>712924368
It's crazy that Forza Horizon alone sold like 30 million copies or something and even more now that it's on the PS5.
