It's over isn't it?
Yep!
>>722504202R I P
Nope
Phil Spent
>>722504202can these niggers at least make xbox live free before they kill off their console business?
>>722504350>playstation is 90% fortnite revenue nice try Eric.
>>722504434I'd buy one again if they did that, as well as brough back the 360 store they killed for no reason, then sold better re-releases of old consoles that ran games as well as they emulate on nu-consoles, or some kind of xbox that allows you to switch which console OS you want to play, that runs all based on the consoles hardware. Make it repareable, and so that it doesn't die in 7 years like an xbox one, and let me customize it. If they did that, suddenly, a console would finally have something significant to offer that PC doesn't, and I'd know it's all about gaming. Till they do that (literally no less than that), I guess they can tounge my asshole or something. I don't think they really even have an excuse to not do something like that. Game consoles these days are mostly inferioir locked up bricks.
>>722505249It would be innovative, and it would also show it's not just effectively a live service box. I don't want live service shit, ever. They already made one games playable on the series consoles, so how about go all out, and stop being gay.
>actually prefer the SeXbox to my PS5>they decide to commit suicide anywaysebin, thank you phil
>>722504202it's been over for around 12 years now
>>722505592It was over back in 2010.
>>722504202g
>Make all those games you paid billions for exclusive>lose $$$ for a few years>kill sony as everyone goes to PC or XBOXIT WAS THAT EASY.Imagine if xbox got a new doom, ninja gaiden, call of duty, etc this year. People would flock to that shit but NOPE we sit in the cuck chair and let sony enjoy our games too.Why the fuck would people want an xbox when all the exclusives are also on PS? You dont see playstation sending their games over. I blame Indian management.
>>722505736Instead we're going to put them on every platform while nuking our entire business with a subscription service. Thank you for understanding.
>>722504202Has been since 2013
>>722504202>buy every studio>don't release any games>shut down what was their endgame?
>>722504202No, I think we're just getting started.
>>722505943>shut downthey aren't shutting down. they are just dropping out of the console race and going to be a publisher like sega did.
>>722504202He didn't mention how the games were for playstation.
Just two more weeks.
Yes, thank god. I love the 360 and my series s. It the original Xbox is terrible. Cool graphics and games (halo, fable) but it’s fuckin huge and so is the bulky ass controller. Gay as fuck.
Apparently the a leaker just told us that Xbox has cancelled their next console. Xbox has officially dropped out of the console race. I'll just be the one to say that this will not only be the end of Xbox but the gaming industry as a whole. But more importantly its a sign of bad thing to come for the western economies. Like the humid scent of an incoming storm.
>>722505736Playstation is already sending their games over lol. Helldivers 2 is the most notable one so far
Yep
>>722507059Oh god, please don't get my hopes up
>>722504202>make poojeet the ceo>he ruins both microsoft and xbox
>>722504202Not yet.Current gen consoles will get major game releases for the next several years.After that Xbox consoles die. But there will be Xbox PCs, some coming from Microsoft themselves.
>>722508082sir he is save company with artificial intelligence power sir
>>722508963>But there will be Xbox PCs, some coming from Microsoft themselves.Steam machines were a blazing success...
reminder that the xbox division has never been profitableFuck Masonicsoft for ruining the industry
>>722507203It's only live service PlayStation first-party games that are coming to Xbox. The singleplayer games never will.
Without halo it's pointless
Hey, don't cry because it happened, smile because its finally over.
Man this makes me sad. They're actually going third party huh? Only Nintendo and Sony left? Just doesn't feel right
>>722505249You think a series X are built to last? Kinda want one if it's the last american console but if it's just gonna die with no chance of repair then fuck em
>>722513924This should have happened 20 years ago >>722510858But Microsoft's infinite money rigged the Xbox's true fate.
>>722506056Nice roadmap of Playstation and PC games.
>>722514124They have excellent cooling for not worrying about looking sleek, so yes, keep them dust free and they will last.
>>722506056>own a gorillion studios that you paid a gorillion dollars for>do nothing with them>get utterly BTFO by Sony and Jewtendo>and even Gayben who did literally nothing>also double the price of GamePass as a final fuck you to whomever was still dumb enough to buy an XboxWas this part of their master plan? Burn away +$100 billion for literally nothing?
>>722514124Only real common point of failure is the HDMI port like every other console, but that should be fine as long as you aren't yanking on it while it's plugged in. They're basically just built like a small form factor PC. Maybe there will be some good deals for Black Friday, but you could probably just pick one up used as long as it says it's working.
>>722505671Natal was the Canary. Mattrick 9/11'ing the X-box HQ towers was the coalmine.
>>722508963>But there will be Xbox PCs, some coming from Microsoft themselves.If, and only if, the Rog Ally X is a success. Otherwise i don't see any reason for them to bother making OEM desktops.
Gaming doesn't feel as big since E3 died.
>>722514809>the Rog Ally X is a successHa, yeah right.
>>722506056>80% of those aren't out./cancelled>The 20% that have come out suck massive assGrim. Why buy all these studios if you're going to torpedo them?
>>722508963>>722514809Xbox PCs like the ROG Ally X are shit because they don't even have backwards compatibility. The moment they stop caring about that Xbox hardware is dead to me.
>>722514760The mistake is thinking its been a singular master plan.Instead its been like 3 master plans where once any real effort was needed on the corporate side of things they scrapped it and moved on to another plan, damaging the infrastructure they were building up previously in the process.
>>722504202Last week i was working through replaying the gears series in preparstion for the new game. Ive been on game pass since day 1. I own an Xbone, i own a series x, and nearly preordered the new handheld.The console price increase alongside gp increase... I am no longer subscribed and my PC now runs CachyOS.
Remember when DOOM Eternal was talked about for months and DOOM the Dark Ages was forgotten about almost immediately?
>>722514953>Xbox PCs like the ROG Ally X are shit because they don't even have backwards compatibilityI mean, you can play any game ever released on PC, as well as emulators.It's a trade off of a bunch of XboxOG and X360 games for a shitload of other games.
>>722507059>But more importantly its a sign of bad thing to come for the western economies>X-box dying being the economy crashGood joke. It's when NoVidya goes tits up chasing the "AI"/if, else statement dragon that the US economy dies and takes the rest of the Western World with it.
>>722510858>2005LOLCan anyone share actual numbers? Or do you niggers just talk shit out of your feelings? Who's to say the gamepass price increase isn't good for them in profitability, which is the only fucking thing a company cares about?They own a huge chunk of the fucking industry at this point. They care about MONEY. Gamepass is still A GOOD DEAL for most people so they'll have subscribers. Why would they give a fuck if the Xbox console dies if they make MONEY?Why are gamers such fucking children? Do you not understand how business works? No one talks in bottom lines or market dominance in this entire discourse about Xbox.
PHIL FOR THE LOVE OF GODDO SOMETHINGPHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL
>>722504202There is no place in the market for a console that overlaps with two other major systems and has no exclusives worth playing.
>>722515178He's been doing something: crashing the plane with no survivors.
>>722515061But then it's not even Xbox hardware. It's just a PC.
>>722515265They don't want to make hardware. They wanna be the Netflix of vidya.
>>722504434Why would they do that. You seem to think we live in a pre-2020 world
>>722515325Yeah, and it's retarded.
>>722505736AHAHAH remeber all these retards thinking Microsoft was going to make whole Activision exclusive to Xbox including CoD? They were so fucking happy AHAHAHAHAHA
>>722515239Phil will save us, Boco. It's the devs that are the problem.
>>722515325They think people working at these multi billion dollar companies are retarded. They think this small vocal niche segment of "gamers" is an accurate representation of the wider costumer base. Most things about movies are true about games. Single player games are consumed once then never again. A subscription model makes sense, you don't even need a team of analysts and statistical models to see that, it's fucking clear.
>>722515556Na, nah. His whole plan was to buy up all these companies so others can't have them, assuming they'll wither and die. Except whoops, they're perfectly fine and now only MS is suffering from spending billions and getting nothing.
>>722505592Sony gave them so many opportunities to redeem themselves but they failed to take any.It just shows how fucking incompetent various people at Microsoft have been.Now they think the game pass is a future-proof success but I hope they continue failing.
>>722515606>A subscription model makes sense,Until you jack up the price and gamers start cancelling their subscriptions en masse.
Crazy to think Xbox had all the potential in the world between 2005-2009. Yet they fucked up so badly that Sony was able to recover in the later end of the gen, and everybody started shifting over to the PS3 once the cheap slim versions came out.
>>722515667You have to understand that Xbox is pushed out of any channels Sony or Nintendo has with other studios. The buyouts were a pragmatic but very expensive approach for the studios to be exlusive-proofed by the other companies due to their larger console market share.
>>722514961I think it's simply that whoever ran M$'s gayman department was out of touch with reality or couldn't stop nickel and diming the customer base for 5 seconds.Still, funny to me that Japan NEVER EVER fell for the gaijin's tricks even once.
>>722505592Not naming it the Xbox 720 was what doomed Xbox as a brand.It's not felt right since then and everyone knows it.
>>722515848Xbox was been a laughingstock in Japan from day one. And its all thanks to this picture.
>>722515916720 is worse that ONE.
>>722515972But that picture has the S controller, which came out in 2003...
>>722514124Unironically yes. As another anon stated, they finally nailed the cooling architecture. So clean it and don't run it in tight spaces and you'll keep it.Same goes for the PS5 too, actually. However if you fit an SSD, DON'T leave the cover plate off, it's very important because it's part of a negative pressure section of the cooling architecture that draws air across it, so leaving the plate off WILL cost you your SSD with heavy use.
>>722516102In America. It was the default controller in Japan from day one. Because they have tiny hands.
>>722506056>Gears Tactics>Starfield>REblivion>3 games in 5 years>6 upcoming that look interesting>NG4, fable, e-day, state of decay 3, blade, TES6>whenever they actually come out
>>722504202APOLOGIZE
>>722515798It's really difficult to explain to people not old enough at the time just how fucking massive the 360 was in 2007. It seems alien to think about today, where everybody you knew was playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 on their Xbox, and almost nobody had a PS3.When it came to /v/, the only time I remember the PS3's reputation recovering was when Demon's Souls dropped. That game leading into Dark Souls is one of the several titles responsible for the creation of /vg/. Demon's/Dark Souls, Starcraft, Pokemon, Team Fortress 2, Tribes Ascend, that's all /v/ was for such a long period.
>>722516149Are you talking about picrel?I bought an 8tb WD black and it had a heatsink on it (on the actual SSD.), so I left the plate off when I fitted the thing thinking it would block airflow otherwise.
I miss prime xbox in the late 00s. Zoomers will never understand how good it was back then.
>>722516542The faceplaters were such a great idea. Another soulful element lost to time.
>>722506056not fair redfallbros... not fair...
>>722515973Nah, 720 was the logical next step360 > 720 > 1080 etc.Everyone was so sure in the leadup to the announcement that it'd be called the 720 that there was no debate or speculation on the name.Everyone was shocked when they called it the One. What a horrible, horrible mistake.
>>722507059>a leaker>officially
>>722516524YES. That area is "before" the fan, so it's a negative area that air is pulled through from outside.With the cover off, you can see - even on your pic - how the hot air from the console will be pulled through instead, causing an overall warming of average temps across the board. The console will tank it, but the SSD won't.>8TBFuck me, you spent some money lad. Refit that plate and protect it.
>>722504434They might do that if PlayStation first went back to free multiplayer across the board. Otherwise they don't have much incentive to
>>722507059>I'll just be the one to say that this will not only be the end of Xbox but the gaming industry as a whole.There's not enough money in peace anymore, Society has taken on as much private banking charter debt as it can.So it's back to war again to die for their profits.As such, distractions need to be removed first.>Now you know why payment processors are clamping down.
Who didnt expect it to ultimately fail when xbox's parent is FUCKING MICROSOFT The company that has killed so many services and products (each that have costed them more money that tech companies will ever see) that there are dedicated websites to mark them like a graveyardTheir only product that *makes them money* windows OS is only profitable because of predatory contractile obligations set forth 30 years ago on laptop manufacturers
>>722516697The Series X literally has those custom magnetic wraps which look really fucking sleek on the console.
>>722516827Before the Xbox One reveal, I thought it would be called "Xbox Infinity"Which at the time would have made a lot of sense if they were pushing a unified gaming platform across both console and PC, because you could easily take an infinity symbol ∞ and turn it into an 8 for Windows 8, for marketing purposes
>>722517358>Oil resistant.Weird flex to have for a console cover but okay
>>722504202Microsoft has wanted to get rid of Xbox for years, they're doing all of this on purpose to shove people onto cloud gaming
>>722516827>>722517437All of these are better than what they did which essentially went like this>nickname for the xbox 360 is "The 360">executives think calling the next console xbox one will turn the nickname into "The One" so people subconsciously think itll be the "one" console worth buying over the ps4>these people get paid 800k a year with bonuses
>>722517541Your hands produce oil, anon. I don't know why the picture is a fucking oil barrel however.
>>722517658No one wants cloud gaming it WILL fail
>>722516827720 would have been a terrible name. Xbone/PS4 were trying to push full 1080p resolution and the Xbone usually couldn't keep up. It would have quickly become the Xbox 720p. Skipping straight to 1080 would have been best
>>722517896Hence the 1 in 1080
Gears 2... Halo 3... all gone...
>>722504350just thrown the towel on the floor
>>722517658>>722517768I have a flawless modern fiber connection, literally top 1% globally. I still get a noticeable 100+ms delay whenever I tested Microsoft's cloud gaming service. This shit is decades away from being feasible, what a joke of a platform.
>>722518034Gears 2 is backwards compatible and enhanced to 1440p/60fps on Series X, it's pretty good there. Though not as good as having an updated and fully modernized port with dedicated servers and stuff And for Halo 3 there's the MCC version, which on PC can be adjusted down to looking and playing like the old 360 version if you want it
>"We are actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox. For more details, the community can revisit our agreement announcement with AMD"Why haven't they revealed their console which isn't coming out for another three years???
Phil was way too cynical in saying good games cannot make Xbox pull ahead. He read too many doomposts.
>>722518530My guess is the PS6 is another three years away, holiday 2028, but the next-gen Xbox would arrive sooner than that. Sony has reasons to stretch out the PS5 lifespan for longer, MS has reasons to cut the underperforming Series X/S lifespan short and try again and get a head start on the competition like the 360 did
>>722504692HE WAS XBOX ONE
Kill """""leakers"""""
No. Over was E3 2013. I don't know what this is.
>>722505671It wasn't so much Kinect that killed it and got the Xbone off to a terrible start. It was another thing that happened around the same time, late in the 360 gen, which gave MS the wrong idea about what people want from a console
>>722517358is that fake transparent plastic?
>>722517768Probably, most normies would rather just stick with a box that can play their sportsball and cod without issue and PS does that just fine for them, and if they wanted to play on their phones they'd rather play shit like candy crush and gachas than lug around a controller attachment
>>722519879The current doomerism for Xbox is because of >multiplatform shift, all of their big franchises other than Halo are on PS5 now, so why should anyone buy an Xbox when you can get the games elsewhere >price hikes for consoles, a Series X launch model has gone from being $500 to being $650 now >Game Pass Ultimate price hike from $15/mo to $30/mo within a little over a year, perception that it no longer offers the value it once did
>>722518370Part of it could be that when you stream from Xbox Cloud, you get the Series S versions of games, many of which are limited to 30fps which adds additional input lag on top of the streaming lag. Not a good combo. My subjective experience is that on a good connection, if the game is 60fps or above then it's playable enough to feel good and be a viable option.
You broke him
>>722504202Those Microsoft cunts have so much money they can't fail. They'll keep trying to turn gaming into netflix streamer slop. They should all be hung.
>>722516524>8tbJesus. I went for a 2.5 tb one and that was nearly a king’s ransom. How much did your 8tb one cost?
>>722524056It's only like $500 dude.
>>722517673The One Box X of Series of X Boxes Series X?
