Assuming that they aren't completely kayfabing everything, given all other indications are that Xbox is just dead as a brand, they're probably going to be flirting with how much of "it's just a PC" they can get away with selling it as before getting legally slapped for selling a PC as a console. If they try using Steam as a tagline it'll be all over for them, Valve will not take kindly to that.

I bet this is the reason nvidia isn't releasing cards this year. Maybe the new strat is to just buy up the hardware that makes them better than consoles. It's sad too because it's all just to make consoles roleplay a fucking PC, it's just a waste at this point to even make a console.

>>
>>734358159
It depends entirely on its ability to access Steam, something Valve could very easily say "no" to and put Microsoft in the biggest bind of their life. Would they contest Valve shutting their """console""" out and give up the scheme that it's supposed to be a console by calling it a PC and putting the system under a completely different set of regulations and expectations, additionally confirming that they don't have an answer to Switch 2/PS6, or would they take it on the chin so as to keep calling it a console while also removing a decent reason to buy it as a soft Steam Machine
>>
>>734358309
Probably partially but UMPCs playing the same games the PS6 handheld does probably factors in too.
>>
>>734358286
this was always the idea with the xbox to begin with
it's like a pc you play like a playstation
microsoft were dying to have a console that functioned like a pc and played pc games back then
they actually kind of lost their way

Xbox doesn't have anything to offer that you can't get on PC.
>>
>>734357417
This is probably not as bad as you think it is. Consoles already became glorified PC because they went with the x86 architecture since the PS4, so the way they lock games is kinda nonsensical. But if you have a Steam Machine or a XboxPC or PSPC, you still ultimately end up with 1 spec, and the process of porting an upcoming video game is no less easy than it was before. It means you can always trust that you're getting an optimized game for the known spec of the home console, even if it's technically "just a PC".

The problem with PC gaming is they have to work with the fluidity of the custom spec, which is why we end up having to build shaders ourselves, while on a ConsolePC they'll still be able to ship shaders and just deliver the kino directly into your anal canals.
>>
>>734358309
Playstation isn't releasing games on PC in the future because they were already halfassing their ports, they're really horny to keep that 30% of each sale that Steam would be taking from them otherwise, and your game basically doesn't exist on PC if you can't buy it on Steam so that's not an option. They did it in the first place to "give you a taste of what Playstation has to offer" and basically they got really fucking mad that Playstation games were doing better on Steam than on Playstation.
>>
>>734358483
it's actually really interesting when you put it like that

Xbox doing this and Sony recanting on putting PS games on PC is actually pretty interesting. It'll depend on how free the PC side of this is, but it could have a legitimate edge there.

Windows has dogshit controller support. Xinput is a joke and doesn't even let you reorder controllers without restarting the entire fucking computer. Xbox full screen environment fucking sucks because you still get dialog box popups from PC games that expect a mouse and keyboard. And you still are stuck with garbage Windows kernel anticheat that's still worse than Xbox hardware level antipiracy and anticheat. This is Xbox waving the white flag. They literally don't care anymore.
>>
>>734357417
Yeah. A microsoft built PC. Which is actually a good idea now. Currently off the shelf PC parts are a gorillion dollars and rising. If they can lock in a good deal with AMD or subsidized the price, then they might actually be the best way to get into PC gaming for the next couple years.
>>

Consolefags just want something they can easily hook up to their TV, use a game controller to control and start playing. Even if this is basically a PC, as long as it can do and doesn't cost $1000 then they won't care. The Steam Machine is literally just a PC too and people were hyping that up until it became clear that it wasn't going to be cheap.
>>
>>734357198
If they’re really planning on selling this for a premium and it’s $700 or up, it’s dead. They have shown people for the past 2 gens that they don’t want to have exclusives and the games they put out (after surviving countless delays and cancellations) are almost always mediocre.

I don't understand why /v/ is mad at this.

why would i buy an xbox PC if i already have an PC?
>>
>>734357417
Not necessarily. There are two routes this can go. Either it is just a PC but to me that seems like a 'why bother making this at all?' situation because they'll have to produce them, deal with faults/warranties/legal and then lose most game sales to Steam.
The alternative is that it's locked to Windows store and other storefronts Microsoft want to partner with. This means if publishers want sales from Xbox they just need to publish their Windows binary to Windows store, have controller support and maybe an Xbox-specific config file. That's trivial compared to supporting Xbox currently and gets both Xbox and Windows store more game releases.

There's a difference between saying it's a PC so you can emulate old games, and the machine simply being able to do proper backwards compatibility with your Xbox library the same way a Series X does. Having console-like functionality that way on top of the PC side.
Which is what one hopes is the case, but they haven't explicitly clarified yet
>>
>>734357417


What many of you are missing is that Xbox versions of video games are not direct port-for-port copies of the PC version. So are they announcing that they will be now?
Because consoles do a shit ton of hidden work under the hood to work smoothly compared to all the issues you have on PC. Is that not the case any more, it will be interesting to see how that pans out.

And what about UIs? Again console versions of games have their own ui frameworks usually. And it's 50/50 on carrying some mouse or keyboard support. This would fundamentally change how developers make games

The problem is that these idiots at Sony don't understand that PC people will buy more games if two things happen
>The game is good.
>The game is released day one on PC
Even if a game is good, if you sell it months or years later, it will sell less
They also shouldn't expect a game released later to sell at full price, as in the case of Death Stranding 2 published now by Sony
All PS5 games ported to PC cost $60, like Rift Appart and Spider-Man 2. DS2 is the first game to cost $70

Nope. PS6 is leaning more into Switch approach (under powered and cheaper) than a premium (Xbox Helix). It will fall somewhere between Nintendo's conservative specs and Xbox's high-end/premium specs.

The flip side of that is if the game is released on PC on day one, there's less reason for anyone to buy a PS5. The PS5's value comes from being able to play a game a year or two or three before everyone else

No, the OG X-box stripped out most of Win XP to run a faster Pentium 3 PC-console ability. Similar to how the Dreamcast used Win Custom Embedded for its system (because Naomi [Segas Arcade board that the Dreamcast was based on] was using Win 2000 IIRC).

It's just that when they had everyone chuckle at their (X)Boner, they didn't pivot fully onto beating Valve to a PC-Console hybrid with a PC OS.

So what would be the point of buying Xbox versions of the game, when you could buy the same game on Steam and play it on Xbox, with more customization options, FREE ONLINE, KB+M support and ability to actually play it on PC, handheld PCs and Linux?

It just makes no sense, unless they're doing Windows based Steam Machine and want to focus on hardware sales, instead of software. Which would make it guaranteed to be more expensive than PS6.

It's the most sensible move they can make in their current situation, they know they can't compete with Sony in the traditional console games space so they offer access to a completely different set of games that Sony's next console (presumably) won't. Most of the FOTM streamer bait games that blow up tend to be PC-only indie titles as well.

I don't doubt that Microsoft has the capacity to completely fuck it up somehow, but I think it is genuinely the best way forward for them at the moment.

I don't trust Microsoft one bit, I'm sure they're gonna fuck it up in some way or another, too many unanswered questions.

Will it play steam games?

Will I have to pay for Game Pass to play online? ($15/30 a month for thr "good" plans btw)
Will they make an effort to make actual good games or will they continue to put out the same live service corpo friendly slop?
Will it run an actual desktop Windows OS or will it be a cut down version?

And this is more of a personal thing, but I hope it supports physical games. I hate digital, I hate not being able to share my games and not being able to resell them.

It will 100% be cheaper than the Gabe Cube, Steam is worried about subsidising the hardware because it's literally just a PC with no restrictions at all but Microsoft is (probably) treating the HeliXbox like a traditional console, locking it down and subsidising the unit cost to some extent.

>>734364447
Complete and utter wild speculation but they could be working out some kind of revenue-sharing deal with Steam for games bought through their storefront on an Xbox, assuming they're relying on Steam for this. Valve seems to want to break into the living room market, piggybacking on an existing console brand is a good way to do it and Steam is so ludicrously profitable that making a bit less money on Steam purchases from a whole bunch of customers who weren't buying on Steam beforehand anyway isn't a big deal.

It's thought be a combination of this and other console-esque gaming PCs such as the upcoming Steam Machines. They all challenge PS in roughly the same way

A PC with a company with a company behind that is big enough to demand studios to make their games run on specific minimum requirements (the hardware of the Xbox) and interact with whatever gimmicks and telemetry Microsaar decides to add to this thing. Kinda like Valve with its Steam Deck and Steam Machines but way bigger since MS owns some of the big studios and it will be easier to make them comply with their demands.

Why would anyone support this over a Switch 2, PS6 Orion/Canis, and or a Steam Machine/Steam Deck 2 which will all cost significantly less, have games, will have first-party games built and optimized for the hardware and controllers, and will have an identity and legacy? This feels very worthless in comparison to Nintendo, Sony, and Valve forcing devs to optimize their games again. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve are offering me a return to the 3rd-6th generation (1980s-early 2000s), Microsoft wants to keep me in the hell of the 7th-9th generation. Microsoft simply has to go.

It’s an excuse more than the only reason.
PlayStation has zero reason to exist without exclusives even moreso than Xbox (thanks to things like gamepass, backwards compatibility and PC being integrated into the ecosystem for so long now). This didn’t translate to a bad generation of sales necessarily for PS5 but the impression has been that if their games are coming to PC, you may as well just switch to PC long term.
>>
>>734357276
Nope, it has more to do with Nintendo and Valve killing them in Japan. Sony's going full 5th/6th generation again and finally getting out of that post-6th gen mindset Microsoft caused. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve all just dogpiling Microsoft and their "Xbox" is just a bonus.

Bullshit it has everything to do with the next Xbox playing PC games. You know how shit it must feel being an Xbox owner knowing that the PS5 Pro is the best way to play Xbox games (Halo CE & Fable especially)

When the Helix comes out it’ll be more powerful than the Pro and Sony absolutely doesn’t want to take that cucked status spot you fucking retard.

Nope, it's because Valve stole Sony's Japanese market from them devaluing the PlayStation brand with Steam and Steam hardware. Valve is also getting back into first-party game development full-time to build games for the Steam hardware, Nintendo style. Sony's is getting squeezed out by Nintendo and Valve so now they're in defense mode and returning to their old better mindset before Microsoft and Xbox. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve killing Microsoft's Xbox ventures is a bonus. This Xbox with or without Steam and PlayStation games was already dead on arrival due to price and how it was set-up which makes it feel like Windows 8 all over again. Windows 8 is why Valve created SteamOS and went about making their own gaming hardware in the first place. Helix was always a dead sell. An Xbox/Windows fusion could have worked years ago, but it's a little too late now. Also, current Windows and AI are shit.
>Power
No one cares about that anymore, it's about optimization, AI is being used for upscaling low resolution games with high-end textures. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve are mandating a handheld first-mentality, Microsoft wants unoptimized games that AI can fix in the Xbox Mode, fuck that and fuck them and their raw performance. I don't know why Microsoft is so stuck in the 7th gen mindset and refuse to go back.

>>734375898
The Gabecube has been smothered in the crib by hardware costs, even before the RAM shortage fuckery exploded Valve were being very squirrely about mentioning pricing and it was likely going to be potentially multiple hundreds of dollars above the kind of price point that most people would be willing to pay for a "console-like" machine. Now that the AI circlejerk has sent hardware prices skyrocketing there's almost certainly no way Valve would be able to charge anything close to a palatable price without subsidising each unit and that's something they're not going to do.

Meanwhile Microsoft is a major player in the AI circlejerk so are much more able to get their hands on hardware at better rates, especially since they're probably planning a much higher production volume for their new console than Valve is. They're also much more likely to be willing to subsidise the cost of whatever machine they put out, assuming they're still going to be broadly following the traditional console model.

(None of this means that the next Xbox will actually be any good.)

It will have tons of exclusives, they will sell a console way more powerful than the competition at a similar cost because Microsoft has all the money in the world and they can afford it, and it will all be glorious like with the first 2 Xbox.
>>
>>734376678
Valve said they won't subsidize it as a console, they'll subsidize it as a PC. It's going to be $750 with the controller to make room for a $600 Steam Deck 2. This Xbox Helix shit, in comparison, will cost $1500+ for the home console and $1000+ for the handheld. This Surface-style piece of shit is dead on arrival. Stop shilling you dumb rat. Microsoft isn't planning to subsidize this abomination.

>>734377628
They are using the same hardware from AMD so no neither will be more expensive than the other. The only difference will be the NPU which powers the AI stuff like upscaling and the emulation. The Xbox supporting PC games means by default it'll have like a billion exclusives that will never be on PS6, presumably also PS1, 2, and 3 via emulation. And then PC exclusives in general like WoW which Microsoft already own anyway so it makes sense to push on their console users. Sony, assuming the news is true (literally a rumour so far) only make a game once every 5 years at this point anyway. We've gone an entire fucking generation without a naughty dog game think about that for a minute.

Microsoft isn't subsidizing this, it's part of the PC market, not the console market and it will have a dedicated NPU for AI slop bringing up the price further. This Surface-like piece of shit is dead on arrival, Xbot. There is no reason to get this over a Switch 2, Steam Machine/Steam Deck 2, or PS6 Orion/Canis. You have to be some kind of idiot to get this. I really don't understand why Xbots even still exist. Xbox has no identity or legacy like Atari and Sega had before it. Xbox is the most soulless piece of shit to exist, and its shills are all paid.

Not a bad thing. My guess is you'll have Xbox games that specifically optimize for the hardware to make them more enticing to pick up rather than sticking to your Steam library. I wonder if it'll be like the Steam Deck where you can swap between Deck and Desktop modes.

AMD makes the NPU because it's integrated into their next gen ryzen chips so it's all inclusive. It'll just be tweaked to MS specifications. No additional price. Both PS6 and xbox whatever its called will be using the same class of hardware from AMD. Price will be the same. I doubt any of these will be particularly cheap anyway because of ram shortages through till 2032 at minimum.

If Steam is on the Nextbox, they really can't or else everyone would buy their games on Steam instead to skip the paid online.
