With all the failure that's been in the news surrounding this company, i think it's been lost that we are going to see the biggest flop of a new console release in the history of vidya within the next year or 2. The next Xbox is going to sell Stadia numbers. The shitposting will be generational.

Just two more weeks.

There's also reports that Microsoft has pulled the funding on Game Pass, what we've been seeing this year were deals that were already placed before the funding cut after COD failed to boost it. It's over, Microsoft will have to rely on being third party or that is it. PlayStation will be next on the list as PlayStation Publishing LLC was made to port games everywhere, even on Xbox as seen with Helldivers 2. Nintendo and Valve won. Xbox and PlayStation are fucked.

>>714816652
They are following Sega steps. There's no turning back. Consoles getting expensive, games getting expensive. Nintendo is only surviving because they aren't trying to compete with PC like Sony and MS.

>>714816652
>even on Xbox as seen with Helldivers 2.

any game that falls under the live service category, or really any game who's livelihood is dependent on lots of people constantly giving a shit about it, should 100% not be kept exclusive. i don't think it's a good idea for them to keep Marvel Tokon off Xbox and Switch 2, for example.

but let's be real here, what are the "other platforns" that can some of the PS5's games? Switch 2 isn't gonna be able to handle Death Stranding 2. once MS says 'fuck this, we're out', it's just gonna be Sony, Nintendo and PC. and as long as there are gamers like me, who don't give a shit about graphics cards and processors and don't believe that i should be forced to do research on computer parts just to play a video game, Playstation will continue to exist. all 3 exist in their own lane. Microsoft wants to be in several lanes at once and that's what's gonna be the end of them.

>>714817612
Yup, the future is Nintendo and Valve, Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 will be my choice. Plus Nintendo always knew how to get real FPSs on their consoles unlike Xbox.

>>714818271
Microsoft and Sony dropping exclusives is the end of them. Their consoles can't survive without it. Only Nintendo is smart. It's just Nintendo and PC, there's no longer a reason to get a PlayStation if you have a PC/Steam Deck.

>>714818587
>there's no longer a reason to get a PlayStation if you have a PC/Steam Deck.

lol my laptop can't fucking run Elden Ring, and from what i hear, i'm better off playing MH Wilds on console than PC anyway. i couldn't care less if something like Ghost of Tsushima ends up on other platforms.. until "specs" are no longer a concern in the world of PC gaming, it's not a valid platform in my eyes.

>>714818921
>until "specs" are no longer a concern in the world of PC gaming

Consoles are the same thing, but worse. You can't play some PS5 games on the PS4. You can play MH wilds on PC even if it's not "recommended". In fact you can have a 10 years old PC and run modern games even if badly. Now imagine the PS3 trying to run modern games.

this time for sure lol

are you retarded, anon?

>>714818921
It will be in 2028, what would you rather get
a $500 to $500 Steam Deck 2 using Zen 5 RDNA 5 or whatever in early 2028
or a $1000 PS6 using Zen 6 RDNA 5 or whatever in late 2028

Oh there will be generational shitposting alright. Just not about what you think.

>>714816652
how come when i read about a developer being critical of game pass it just sounds like entitled whiny. like that one developer that said if you wait for a game to go on sale you’re killing the game industry

>>714819792
It just came out today that Microsoft's first party games don't even profit off of Game Pass, it's only third party. Microsoft literally on makes money from third parties and it's not enough. This is why they are canning everything. Game Pass was a failure. You're about to be in for a rude awaken in the coming years, Game Pass faggot. Phil really got you retards up his ass.

>>714819506
only suckers buy new hardware in the year it releases. since i didn't get a PS5 until 2022, i'd probably bump that by an extra year and say a a new PS isn't in the cards for me until 2030, minimum.

i don't know what a Zen 6 is and i don't really care. as long as i can play the games i want to and keep my physical and digital library from the last decade or so, that's enough for me.

>>714815993 (OP)
It's a PC retard. It doesn't need to do console numbers, it needs to do Surface numbers. And it will be very beneficial for AMD. With this Xbox PC AMD might jump to something like 50% (maybe more) of GPU market share, effectively forcing devs to optimize for AMD PC GPUs just as much if not more than Nvidia GPUs.

You're not getting a price drop for the PS6.

Just make more money so that you're not pulling your hair out over $500 and making it seem like a lifetime investment that could make or break you. Just but the game console and when a better one comes out just buy that one too, it's not that difficult.

>>714815993 (OP)
What i find wild is that a new 1TB Xbox costs more than a PS5 pro. Everyone said Sony would also raise prices but it just hasn't happened. The best part? Used Xbox prices have gone down. Nobody wants these things.

Let's be honest Xbox being called failure by journalists for like over 10 years already, and yet they still exist
Not trying to defend them, but it sure is weird if they're really like what journalists claim, Microsoft should already closed Xbox like Windows Phone or Zune no?
I mean we all know Microsoft are pretty short sighted company(only Google can beat them in this part), there's no way Xbox can survive so many years and still remain there, even the recent layoff only cancelled 3rd party games and 3 vaporware with one non-development studio closed, that's even less than the layoff in this year which they closed Arkane Austin and Tango(bought by other company in few months later)

Not anymore, they've already been renamed to Microsoft Gaming and their next console will be their last one, they're switching to OEMs and third party, since that will fail too, they're just switching to third party. Microsoft cares about AI, not gaming.

>>714822920
No one owns the Game Pass games so Microsoft will take those games back.

Already happened to their latest consoles

Are you seriously took that Dring guy's "gamepass income not counting development cost"? Here's a thing, there is no gamepass exclusive games, and the income from some big part like MTX doesn't count as gamepass income

Have you ever think they just love to change the division names all the time
I'm not sure why too, but Microsoft is pretty famous for changing their product name for no reasons

Explain to us how's it profitable and why isn't it saving their studios, if you can't explain that then shut up, GPfag?

>>714815993 (OP)
Xbox isn't a company, and MS bought studios to force them to drop win10 support.
