>"The selling point of our next $1200 console is it'll be able to run steam">today happensWhat's going through their heads right now?
>>725656660probably a bullet
If actual human thought went on in Microsoft's heads at any point in the past 12 years, Xbox wouldn't be in the abysmal position it is today.
What selling point?
The Xbox PC is just a last ditch attempt at staying at the hardware market, I don't think they really care that much about it. After it sells worse than the Wii U, they'll happily close their hardware division.
japs wongates lostjust auction off the brand already and get out
>>725656702hopefully
>>725656660Why not? A console is just a retarded version of a PC anyway.
>>725657032I don't think Sega wants it back
>>725656660>wow an ROG Ally 2 with Xbox branding>IT IS AN XBOX!Microsoft fooled you again
>>725656660Xbox has been in a perpetual humiliation ritual since 2013
>our competition is no longer playstation>instantly btfo by steamFucking hell.
>>725656660"we lost so let's seek empathy to carve ourselves a corner". But they don't realize that without a clear vision and leadership they'll only keep meeting failures.>>725656702If only
>>725656660>What's going through their heads right now?Nothing. The Xbox team is comprised of actual retards.

>>725657338>smartphones are retarded pcs>TVs are retarded pcs>xiaomi lightbulbs are retarded pcs>Apple Watches are retarded pcs
>>725660124Bad example; smartphones made PC obsolete when it comes to practicallity Anyway please excuse him; he think consoles as a whole are the sad sattire that arrived in the 7th gen.
>>725656660That's literally why they're doing this whole Xbox/Windows unified console strategy. Microsoft couldn't give two shits if PlayStation wins the console war. It's a shrinking market that's increasingly irrelevant for phone/tablet kiddies; their revenue from hardware sales is practically a rounding error. But if SteamOS actually took off as a desktop alternative, that would cripple their entire company.
>>725656660>What's going through their heads right now?That they don't even need to sell their next console because Valve will sell the hardware for them so they can sell the games they funded.Do you even understand what Xbox strategy is? Not saying it's a good one, but the next steam flop doesn't affect it.
>>725656660Xbox next is just a copium, probably some corporate money glitch to pay salaries for nepobabies. Xbox is dead since closing business in Europe, it's just cloud service with some extra steps
>>725661505Ms can't unify UI for windows, unifying Xbox and windows even more delusional
>>725661702they should just cancel the next console then
>>725661505>It's a shrinking market that's increasingly irrelevant for phone/tablet kiddies>nintendo sold its best ever and the pace keeps going into their newer console>PS5 somehow managed +75 millions>Mobileshit never took off outside gacha and gacha is a 1/100 chance of passing the 1st year>Even bouncing back from gaming into services/microtransaction can bring some cashXbox simply failed hard, anon. It's deluded to not face it.
>>725656660lol
>>725662684Does anyone still believe this corporate rhetoric? They are paying attention and they are shitting their pants.
>>725662558Xbox failed hard but the reason a company worth $3 trillion isn't even trying to sell/advertise their console is because they don't evaluate the market to be worth pursuing.>nintendo sold its best ever and the pace keeps going into their newer consolePeople forget the DS sold 150 million units in addition to the Wii's 100 million units. The Switch earned those sales by cannibalizing two separate product lines.>PS5 somehow managed +75 millionsWhich is the same pace as the PS4. In a vacuum that seems good, but remember Xbox sales have plunged over that same span. So where did all those Xbox players go?>Mobileshit never took offThis is just delusionalThe fact of the matter is that Wii+DS+PS3+PSP+Xbox360 cumulatively sold way more than Switch+PS5+Series X|S sales.
>>725662476They shoud've done that after the Xbone but they stupid or tone deaf enough to keep losing money from that end. THAT stupid
>>725665228>Xbox failed hard but the reason a company worth $3 trillion isn't even trying to sell/advertise their console is because they don't evaluate the market to be worth pursuing.Becuase they failed to the point of no recovering.>>725664573Vocal minorities that try to be politically correct.
>>725662684KWAB
>>725665228>The Switch earned those sales by cannibalizing two separate product lines.PS4 reached similar numbers, cannibalization and product lines have nothing to do here.>Which is the same pace as the PS4I tend to feel PS5 was sluggish as hell compared to it.>This is just delusionalIt's true; its audience never fell for the serious platform for games and those "gaming smartphones" some manufacturers try to sellas the next big thing were forgotten soon. People simply doesn't see smartphone as anything more than short lived and disposable, the complete opposite of gaming platforms that need a little comitment
>>725665228>People forget the DS sold 150 million unitsThe PS2 sold 155 millions!
>>725666032*150 and out of his generation.
>>725656660We're fucked
>>725662684God I hate this faggot
>>725656660>What's going through their heads right now?Probably something along the lines of>Finally a reason to ditch this brand!Satya Nadella is just one of countless greedy tech executives who are prioritizing short term stock price over long term growth. Xbox is fucked because they can't realistically hope to meet the extreme profit goals demanded by corporate, and there's absolutely no way they can implement the mandatory AI use in a way that isn't pointless. Xbox as a brand won't even be granted a graceful death, their legacy will be pissing away the good will of the entire generation that grew up with them.
>>725670256Who cares though? It's actually weird that there's still fags obsessed with Xbox%, love or hate. I was a daily 1 og Xbox owner and xbox live beta tester. I just bought two copies if crackdown 3 for 4.74 each to play with my son but Xbox has been long dead and irrelevant. Gaming in general is far shittier than when xbox was relevant as well.
>>725670256>their legacy will be pissing away the good will of the entire generation that grew up with them.There's barely any of those at this point and not enough to make any sort of difference tbqh
Am I being gaslit? I could've sworn there were headlines all over the fucking place about two or three months ago about Microsoft intending to permanently shutter the Xbox division and get out of the videogame industry entirely... and now it's like none of that happened.
>>725671343>Am I being gaslit?Yes, that's Xbox's intention when they ditched exclusives.
>>725671343They're killing the Xbox console and turning it into a SteamOS stand-in for Windows to go against Valve. Next gen is Nintendo vs Sony, Valve vs Microsoft, gonna be fun.
