Looking into it
There's a rumor that Halo is coming to the Playstation, which was Xbox's biggest exclusive for a really long time.
Personally, I think Xbox has been dead ever since Microsoft started releasing every game on Windows and Xbox at the same time, which kinda eliminates the point of having a console.
I saw Starfield and the Indiana Jones game mentioned specifically, but it does look like the idea is that Microsoft is maybe becoming more of a third party publisher. Considering they've bought like half of the industry that sounds fair

More like it became super duper dead when they started releasing games on Steam at the same time. Also, this is a 100% positive development and Nintendo and Sony should follow suit
spoiler
though Sony already releases stuff on PC, and every Nintendo game is playable on PC
I hope they never make a Switch 2 lmao
I genuinely don't see the point of having a .ore powerful console. It's fine
Did they get the semen in time??
It would be so funny if they killed consoles.
Well, the Xbone reveal was a good first attempt
The Xbox must converge into Windows. Make it like a 10ft HTPC/Gaming UI that you can go into or exit smoothly, so that all Xboxes are also PCs and all PCs are also Xboxes.
Windows Big Picture Mode
Unironically as someone with a living room PC and a desire to play old Xbox games like Fable 3 and Conker, I have been waiting for this to happen for a really long time.
Also if you aren't going to let me play my Steam games on Xbox, at least let me stream them from my main PC.
Didn't Fable 3 have a short-lived PC port? That might still be kicking around somewhere.
Also you might be able to play the Conker remake on Xemu
Ah you're right, I meant Fable 2
the tldr of it all is that gamestop (i believe) leaked an ad that mentioned "microsoft game pass" and not "xbox game pass" leading people to speculate, especially paired with previous rumors of MS bringing game pass to playstation and other consoles. The rumors are building into "MS is done with xbox, no more consoles from them".
the more likely reality is that they just want playstation owners to buy their subscription.
I haven't had a console since the 360 era, but i remember looking at what the new consoles were during the launch of this last generation, and the Xbox had several different versions of their console with different features, and adding that "which one am I supposed to get?" anxiety to a purchase probably hurt them a bit.
If true will they release Lost Odyssey for PC?
I mean not a single Xbox model managed to outsell their main competitor in PlayStation. Even the PS3 beat the Xbox 360 in sales by the end of the console generation, and those sales in the second half of the generation are the most profitable. Consoles start selling at a loss or break even point, and only become profitable later on with later "slim" iterations.
This model would be sustainable if they cornered the US market like Apple did with the iPhone, and gave up on the more global market to PlayStation, but Xbox can't even get a foothold in the US.

That came as a surprise to me, probably because I was mostly checked out of following the console wars by the end of seventh gen and the PS3 was kind of a laughing stock for the early stretch of it
It caught up in the long run
