People worrying about Xbox marketing but not the state of the industry where gaas/ftp/franchises and remakes are the drivers.

Would be funny if the ads are due to them getting their studios in order. Thus a cascade begins from the end of 2024 for software.

There's nothing to be worried about. When I open up the PS store do you know how many damn games I see? It's insane how many games are being released I can't keep up with all these games honestly. The main drivers of gaming don't matter to me as long as I'm getting the games I want to.

You can log in on any of these devices and play your Xbox library or GP. It's a brand name for the ecosystem app. This is literally exactly what PS is going to be doing too so I hope everyone on here admits how much of a hypocrite they are when that happens. You guys are complaining about enhanced compatibility and smart delivery. It's awesome to be able to log in to any device and it automatically works and syncs up. The fact that it's not a box is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. I expected dumb on here but this truly exceeds my expectations.


They're happy to sell games on Switch and PS. But they're not "an Xbox" because they're talking about the ecosystem log-in.

This is what happens when you decide to hate a brand more than you love the brands you support or even yourself.

Hate to see it.

I honestly feel the same way and I’m on the Xbox ecosystem.

You should feel that way if you have a healthy appetite for different types of games. It's so insane not just how many games are coming out right now just from 3rd party but also the quality of these games. Great time to be a gamer regardless of what ecosystem you are on.

Enjoy researching which version to download on PS5 since it can't even automatically handle that without system issues. All this is, is smart delivery across all devices. That's awesome. When PS does it you will think it's awesome as well. You already can see the PS UI and trophy set up on Ghost of Tsushima on PC. You guys are literally stuck in the past and blinded by console warring. You're going to cheer on this exact thing soon.

I have no idea what's going on here.

What Xbox functionality is available on a Quest headset? Or a Firestick?

Before I even clicked on this thread I told myself:
"If the first thing I see is a video that immediately features feminine diversity, I won't waste my time."

Lo and behold, my expectations were exceeded, in the thumbnail of the video!

Watched the video and am not moved. Microsoft still limp.

If their competitors notice they manage to 10x-20x their revenues by doing this (without Activision), then they'll probably follow suit. However Ninty & Sony still believe that exclusive content is important to consumers and therefore offer it.

Industry is going through a big swing in the next few years.

Also congrats to MS for telling consumers not to bother buying Xbox hardware ever again.

It's so insane that they are doing this.

Yeah I was so confused by the advert but everyone's saying this is about an MS strategy to push towards services over hardware?
Click to expand...
Yeah kinda. It’s not a service, yet, unless you go for Gamepass only, but like it or not this is definitely them kickstarting the digital platform future. Xbox is now an app, accessed through all kinds of devices and browsers.

But they can still offer their own hardware for players who want to support it, like Steam does with the deck. On Series S the added value is the cheapest current gen, for example. They should make their next consoles Windows compatible and also with the added value of cheapest for a budget model on one side, and higher end than any other console, for niche enthusiast, on other side. Also why not bet on portable machines. But the point is, their main goal is make their ecosystem to grow, so probably their own hardware is shifting just be a one more option within many others in which you be part of.

Series S was a mistake for many reasons but the main one is because their console is still in direct competition with Playstation.

The series S has held back games that are exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem from a tech pov and 3rd party games plus it created more of a headache for devs.

They should have just created a Series X disc and digital so at least they have a console that can compete from a spec stand point with their direct competition in the console space.

There lack of quality AAA games is also their biggest issue but they could have at least tried to do more with their consoles to create more positive momentum. All they did was make their consoles useless and NO ONE wants to play a console like game on a cell phone or a big multiplayer game like COD over streaming.

This strategy is going to end up making them a 3rd party publisher which is a shame because I think if they moved on from Phil the Xbox could have survived with better leadership.

Also the portable thing is a compete waste of time, go look at the sells for the steam deck. Nintendo is the only one that makes money off portables/handhelds.
