Apologize nowAsha Sharma is the best CEO in Xbox history
shes so cute
literally none of that matters
>>737548072Peter Moore still cannot be topped
>>737548072But has she shown her tits?
>>737548290she will but only if you buy her console
>ruled out low-quality AI content-50 million izzat.
>>737548373nah
>>737548072What a big old nothing burger you faggots have shit on a plate.
She will only redeem if the next console ditches the retarded PC hybrid idea and has exclusives
>>737548394Relax Rajeesh, it will be high-quality AI content instead.
>>737548072ngl but she's pretty based.
>>737548072So then whats high quality AI content?
>>737548072asha shawarma
>>737548072>ruled out low-quality AI contentIronic since she was in the Microsoft AI division before she was appointed head of Xbox
>>737548072Where are the videogames?
>>737548072All talk, you become a ceo in America by being a master bullshitter. I will give her credit when the games aren't shit.
>>737548560High quality AI content is AI content you never see.>>737548640I imagine there could be something to that. If you're very knowledgeable about AI, what it can do and what its limitations are, you'll know where it shouldn't be applied.
>>737548072inb4 games in xbawks gets copilot
>>737548640It's possible she saw it was a bunch of vapid hype but it's more likely she isn't autistic and can feel the public backlash. Meanwhile people like altman don't realise till someone is firebombing his house
>>737548072none of these have actually happened yet. even if the gamepiss price “drop” was real it wouldn’t take effect until the next billing cycleso she’s literally done nothing
>>737548072A shame her first X interactions looked straight out of an AI. > asks for favorite top 3 GAMES> lists halo> doesn't specify whichHuh...
>>737548072So a little pricecut and refocusing on Xbox as a console and brand? Will it still be part PC?
>>737548072Fuck off. She's a former AI division CEO she needs a lot more than just some fucking candy treats.
actual xbox player here, here what came to mind the last 2 months.>party chat only works 50% of the time forcing even the boomers to use discord>xbox clubs, a place to curate your own community was shut down completely.>friend lists dont show online status.>you can finally disable quickplay which didnt work 95% of the time aynway>your clips get autmotatically deleted after 90~ days, even those you have saved ON the console.>xbox is sure to inform me everytime I buy something that when I spend another 300 bucks I might just get that 5$ coupon.
>>737548956lmao are you fucking serious? I moved to pc a couple of months ago from xbox; I knew the OS was buggy and everything was shit and crashed but that is fucking awful
>>737549026if it just crashed it would be fine but sometimes you mute or kick another person by joining the party without them realizing lol.
>>737548072So nothing
>>737548290I wish Sarah Bond gave us a little peak before she left :(
imagine the power move to make Elder Scroll 6 a xbox helix exclusive
>>737548072#ad
>>737549498If Xbox is planning to release a PC next gen, they have to make their games exclusive to the Xbox Store. It's the only way to make people give a shit about their platform. If TES6 launched as a lifetime exclusive for the Xbox Store when it releases in 14 years, gamers will have no choice but to turn away from Steam/Linux to get their fix. TES6 is like the 2nd most hyped game after GTA6, all things considered.
>>737549771>locking COD, Blizzard, Bethesda to the xbox storeif they do this right, they could come back in a big way
>>737548956Fuck.
>>737548483>high-quality>AI contentPick one.
>Replaces flatshit logo with Aero kinoAsha, I kneel
My queen
>psyop samefag threadno amount of shilling will reverse the shittification
>adding the ability to customize the price of gamepass by letting you choose what addons you want like ubisoft+ classics and fortnite crewWoW sub addon when?
OP do you have the memory of a gnat?
>>737550093basically every dev right now is using ai so unless you want to claim that all gamers are low quality you are by definition wrong
Beeeeeenchoooooooods
>>737548072Ass Shawarma has a long way to go if she wants to unfuck the xbox. The thing is pretty much pointless at the moment because zero exclusives.
>>737548956i know one friend that stayed with xbox past the 360.the xbone caused him endless annoyance, even when demoted to being the netflix machine. he stuck with game pass on PC for a while but gave up on that last year because none of his friends had it, and he doesn't do much singleplayer stuff.my wife's uncle has a series x but he's never home and doesn't say a word anytime i see him. i've never seen it used. his adult kids play guitar hero on the 360 hooked up beside it.
>>737550364Every so game is less impactful than the last one so it's not like they are doing much better
>>737549771>>737549992bethesda (rightfully) believes this would end them. they don't have mid-2010's influence anymore. people who worshipped them for TES 3 and 4 have moved on fully. skyrimbabbies have played other, better RPGs for almost 15 years now.only full blown apologist fanboys could think bethesda and microsoft is a winning combo
>>737549992It's what they should've done after spending $70bn on Activision, but the FTC wouldn't let them. Instead they went multiplat, giving a 30%+ cut of every software sale to the other platforms, while renting their games at a loss to Xbox users.
>>737550258cope more, patel. nobody believes it
>>737550573If you have 100+ people working on a game, there’s a good chance many of them are going to ask AI about specific code issueslike asking it to look through code and find shortcomings.Or an art director might simply ask AI to create alternative versions of pre existing art, just to explore different options
Wtf I love Indian cronyism now
Xbox will NEVER be at the level it was during the 360, and I'm pretty sure that was Peter Moore's era.
>>737548072 These are all easy wins handed to the new ceo by Phil Spencer on purpose. This too is part of his big plan to put xbox back on track.
>>737548560Art of big tiddy furry women
>>737548072I'm pretty sure this bitch just lets chatgpt handle everything lol
>>737548290Next Xbox will have X-ray goggles you can use to see through clothes (lie)
>>737549771They can't do that because no one cares about Cuckbox no matter what.
>>737548072Holy shit was Phil really just that retarded?
>>737550772BasedBig Phil helping out jeeta
>>737550859yes, and he just kept thinking everyone was going to be on gamepass
who's Sharma?
>>737550702>from 'basically everyone' to 'a good chance of being 1 in 100'if i insult you again will you veer ever further from your initial assertion?
>>737550806they just recently put out an AI generated apology statement for the overall state of xbox
>>737548072Yeah I like her. Phil has been running the brand into the ground. I literally thought Xbox was gonna shut down. Then he left and it seems like she's trying to turn shit around. I'm on board for now.
>>737551014I’m not that guy, but I was just stating the obvious of course not every single person is making their game using ChatGPT, but a lot of them are using basic AI toolsDevelopers from almost every studio have talked about experimenting with AI to see what can be done, including people at Valve.
>>737551204>'i jumped in on behalf of an exaggerative retard to say that actually SOME people use basic AI functions'and was it worth it, retard?
>>737550093>you>whitePick one.
>>737548072I'll apologise when she actually produces some video games and not marketing hype
>Cut game pass ultimateThe worst offer of consumer-you-vil-own-ze-nassing-slop now is a bit cheaper, you are still paying 23 bucks a month to play games on a console. They charging you for the internet access you are already charged for AGAIN not included.>Anounced somethingIs that what CEO's do for their 500k+ a year? Saying thing is called XY now? I should be a CEO!>RebrandedSee above.>Scrapped campaignShe canned a failing project? That takes some guts!>Ruled out LOW-quality AI content. So whatever she defines as high quality AI content is all good. Great! Thats what I call committing to human made games! Just cut out all non indian AI slop. >Engagement and making money for twitter.Engagement? That thing all the failing game devs talk about if they fucked up completely and are about to close up? On a third partxy plattform? That women is a genius!Also all those things that will be positive for Xbox players! Like they probably care A LOT about how much marketing costs for Xbox!
>>737548290Fuck off with this dollar store sexism, unironically, I'm as chud as the next guy but it's just cringe
>>737551459Saying every studio is using ai is more true than saying none of them are
>>737548072She looks like she's trying to get some White republican cock.
>>737551649sure, but can you show me where the word 'studio' was used in the exchange you've chosen to reply to? becuase i see the words "basically every DEV"
>>737551649>hello, i'm a directionbrained retard openly admitting to being incapable of seeing in between extremes>please take me seriously
>>737548072Not gonna lie, I think she's kinda cute. For a pajeet.
>>737548956>actual xbox player hereif you dont mind me asking why are you still on xbox instead of moving to any of the other three options as they are much better these days, also what games do you play
>ctrl+F “TimDog”>zero results yup, opinion discarded, it’s still ogre
>>737551497To be fair, at least xbox seems to be closer to the right track then playstation right now, all indications are that they're going for a quasi pre-built PC machine, while playstation is going to continue with the, by now terribly outdated, console modelCall me crazy if you will, but I wouldn't count xbox out just yet and given that it's basically guaranteed that playstation won't survive past 6, depending on how xbox's new model fares, it might outlast playstation
>>737548072Unless they start releasing good games nothing else matters. All their big studios have proven they are unable to make anything good. They have Actiblizzard garbage who keep getting worse every year, zenimax with bethesda and ID who also keep getting worse, Obsidian who release yearly rushed garbage games like avowed, Halo is dead, Fable 4 is already DOA, they gave up on forza motorsport and horizon 6 looks like more of the same shit, etc etc...
Everything she has done is what Chatgpt told her to do
Wow, I'm an Xbox fan now.The best thing about Xbox is that you can experience all it has to offer (nothing) without having a console!
>>737548828That sounds like a typical woman interaction
>>737552435but playstation's consoles arent microsoft "pls verify again" disasters. microsoft's movement away from consoles was because they poisoned the fuck out of their own and made them genuinely less effective than your average PC.
>>737552435Still hard to see if it will pan out. They need to convert PC players to buy an Xbox, unlikely, or convince PS owners to swap off their digital libraries to an Xbox. Also unlikely.The current rumors are they are dropping paid online, but combined with that and having PC-ecosystem the console is going to be more expensive than a PS6.
>>737552065>>737552140You fucking autistic retards
>>737548072I have xbox twitter thread fatigue
>>737552257Imagine if Asha wore an Xbox themed spandex suite, that was really tight wouldn't that be funny
>>737548072I love Indian women now
>>737551518>dollar store sexism>I'm as chud as the next guywell obviously not
>>737548461The PC/Console hybrid is what will save Xbox. We know Xbox and 360 emulation is coming to PC so I imagine Microsoft will:>You can emulate all your favorite Xbox games and play them online with your friends.>You can play Steam/GOG/Epic games of your choosingIf they actually merge the two and create a Windows version of Steam OS that can be heavily customized this could easily be their comeback.
>>737548072She's cute, but so far I haven't seen what Xbox exclusives that can bring Xbox back.
>>737553543>Here is our new Xbox>It has a desktop mode>You can use Microsoft Edge to browse the web!>You can download Windows Store applications>Look, we delivered our promise!>N-no, it can't run Steam, and you can't install executable files on this version of Windows...Why do people think they're gonna get a full fledged PC experience from this device? lmao
>>737549771imagine still giving those fags your time or money after FO4, FO76, starfield and that shitty UE5 oblivion remake
>>737548956It's incredible to me how bad things have gotten since the 2000s, I mean, the xbox friends list and party chat used to be the most perfect and seemless thing on the planet during the 360 days.
>>737548186Announcing helix and getting rid of "this is an xbox," both point to there being more xbox consoles, which is good for people with xbox digital libraries. That retarded marketing stunt seemed more like they were trying to avoid troubles from people who have been building u[ their libraries by pointing out that you can stream your games before announcing you'd have no new hardware to download them onto and play offline and without input lag.
>>737549380The word for a quick glance is peek. Although maybe she had peaks, I never paid attention to her tiddy size.
>>737548072I thought she wanted more ai. Is she just using chatgpt for good business advice?
>>737548072Chudbros you told me women ruin everything...
this is good for consumers but the line won't go up and it'll eventually be closed
Game pass was microsofts final hope of staying relevant in the industry. It failed.Microsoft is finished.
>>737548186yeah a lot sounds like pandering, nothing about >everthing being games as a service meaning updates are dripfed >Games being released in a buggy state >Most modern console games being glorified movies>No new franchise, always the same safe trend chasing
>>737553697I must be taking fucking crazy pills because all of that shit means nothing to me. We've known Xbox was working on their next console for years due to Xbox themselves leaking their internal documents.As for the 'this is an xbox' ads, I could not give less of a fuck, xbox fans have turned into karens who get emotional over braindead marketing shit.
>>737548072The CEO... of a product division that committed suicide last year? What's the point? Might as well just sell dumb PC gaming cuckboxs like the Steam Machine at this point.
>>737553965Xbox has been putting out new IPs all the time, it's just that they're either flops or niche shit. Pentiment, South of Midnight, Avowed, Keeper, Towerborn and Kiln all came out in the last few years but there's no mainstream interest around them. Their biggest new successes are Grounded and The Outer Worlds. Even if she said they were going to make new franchises or revive old ones it wouldn't mean anything because Xbox has been struggling to execute on their ideas for a long time.
>we dropped the price of an already overpriced service by 7 dollars>a $1000 fake pc that was already planned to release is releasingany "person" excited by these is just an intolerable reddit chungus who should go back home
>>737548072>game still going to be forced uggoshit from DEIbux>still going to be MTX nightmares>still going to be unfinished buggy hellscapes>still going to be live service dogshit>etc.Yaaaaaaaawn
>>737553647You just described the Xbox One which had Windows 10 but was extremely locked down. I'm saying if they merge Windows 11 with Xbox OS (which is what I'm guessing they'll do) it could be a convenient way of gaming compared to just a locked down console. The whole point of the Xbox was to be a living room PC. Meanwhile the PS6 will be a locked down expensive device with few games and not much features. Alot of people will be sold on emulation alone.
>>737553803Devs in general are inclined to use AI as a tool to speed up their development. They don't mean they want to ask chatgpt to generate GTA6. The former is the kind of AI use that will continue, the latter is what she is referring to as slop.
>>737553972It sounds like your scared.
>>737554662Yeah good luck with Microsoft implementing a positive feature lol people never learn, Microsoft are never honest. It always comes with a boat load of caveats and asterisks that make their word worthless.
>>737548072She seem to have actual brain unlike Phil Spencer but come on. Nothing she did actually matters except maybe they will bleed less Game Pass users from now on. Xbox is constantly doing ultimate stupid shit where matters and smart thing where it doesn't matter.The Helix will cost twice as much as the next PS. That is fucking it for their entire current userbase. All in the hope PC players will come in droves to get a PC without DLSS support.
>>737548072asharma or sharmasha
>>737555375a sha sha ma
>>737555225>All in the hope PC players will come in droves to get a PC without DLSS support.If Helix supports FSR (native FSR, not some stupid fork) then ofcourse more games will use it. DLSS might look better, but people buy PS5s, anyway
>>737548072Considering Xbox is just a division of Microsoft and that Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar company, literally none of those things had any input from her whatsoever. All those things were decided months, if not a full year, ahead of her getting that position.
>>737553459>if you can't say 'none' you are totally justified in saying 'most'>and anyone who disagrees is an autistic retard
>>737548072I’ll apologise once she shows off her hairy pussy and asshole live.
>>737554662Okay lets play this game. Who is this next Xbox for? It will be the most expensive console ever made and likely to cost twice as much as the "expensive" PS6.For the average Series S user who bought the system between $250-300?For the average Series X user who bought the system between $350-500?Now that I made it clear it is not for their current userbase who is it for? The PC crowd with 95% Nvidia market share because DLSS is king? On the vague promise you can run "anything" on it which makes absolutely no business sense? Xbox is kept alive by Game Pass and they will just allow you to do whatever? Then hope you will use the MS Store for a vague 10-20% performance gain in Xbox mode for your games?Emulation? You bought a $1500 Xbox PC with all the caveats to emulate the 12 OG/360 Xbox only games in better quality than what you could play on the - admittedly shitty - unofficial Xbox emulators? Because - let me remind you - there are barely any Xbox exclusives worth playing in 2026 as 99% of games have better versions elsewhere?
>>737554431didn't grounded 2 flop
>>737548072yeah yeah w/eGood game count: 0
>>737555717Games take time to make. The new generation hasnt started but you can bet is Xboxs turn next.Halo? fixedGears? fixedNew exclusives? We are getting plentyXbox is back.
>>737555675>Who is this next Xbox for?people who buy Alienware, HP Omen, you know, prebuilts.There's no way the next Xbox isn't just a shitty prebuilt PC
>>737548072All to set you up for>$1200 console>paid online 2 electric boogoloo>no desktop mode>no Steam>BC emulation>$80 games>timed exclusives>Play Anywhere for your Steam games you can't playThe PR disaster on first-party Helix is going to make the Xbone PR disaster look like Sunshine and Roses in comparison.>>737553543>consoleYou're not getting a Windows Mode or Steam. "console" that's why Microsoft keeps calling it this instead of a PC.
>>737555445The FSR/DLSS issue is a never ending catch up for AMD.1, Nvidia is ahead, Nvidia has better support2, People get RTX3, AMD finally starting to catch up (never mind the better legacy support and your 1 year old card getting outdated because)4, Nvidia drops something new, gets ahead, so on so onThe only reason AMD is anywhere relevant because all the cheap ass devices except the Switch is using it because it is cheap. It doesn't matter if it is cheaper because people will buy RTX due to the support Nvidia has. Even the shit ones. People rather get a shit RTX.The Helix will come out, it will be too expensive for console users and it will have too many drawbacks for PC users. It will be the like the Surface line, irrelevant outside tech channels.
>>737548072She cute
>>737555841>you can bet is Xboxs turn next.There's literally no reason to believe this will be the case
>>737554761The feeling I'm getting is you feel threatened that Sony might have another shit console while the next Xbox could be superior.
>>737548290bobs*
>>737551518Yeah, in our ideal chud society it will be illegal for women to show their tits to anyone but their husbands.
>>737556029>The only reason AMD is anywhere relevant because all the cheap ass devicesAnd there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If AMD didn't exist than gaming would be a hobby for the rich.
>>737551518ThisWe must all be better chuds
>>737555689Possibly, the first one was popular enough to get a sequel.
Xbox is pretty much dead in the water, but I can appreciate the effortEither she resurrects it or it bleeds out and dies, let her try atleastBesides, these responses are far more human than 99% of CEO responses, which is kind of disturbing if anything
>>737548290
>>737555926You know what the first thing the prebuilt guy looks at.Which Nvidia GPU it has.
>>737555675>Emulation? You bought a $1500 Xbox PC with all the caveats to emulate the 12 OG/360 Xbox only games in better quality than what you could play on the - admittedly shitty - unofficial Xbox emulators? Because - let me remind you - there are barely any Xbox exclusives worth playing in 2026 as 99% of games have better versions elsewhere?Microsoft is working of official Xbox and 360 emulators which is what I was referencing.>Okay lets play this game.

>>7375560922006 called, it wants its retarded console war fanboy back.
>Breaks your arm>calls 911>there I fixed it, I am the best
>>737556248That is not wrong on its own, it allows(allowed) us to have cheap systems which could work very well for certain games and genres. However building the next Xbox PC on AMD GPU is a huge mistake (among others).
>>737548072>asha saarma
>>737555980>You're not getting a Windows Mode or Steam. "console" that's why Microsoft keeps calling it this instead of a PC.If it's a hybrid it will implement a Desktop mode. It's going to work like Steam OS where it's added to your library or imported.
>>737556472Sony fans quite literally make console war threads all the time what are you talking about?
>>737548290>brown jeet nipples
>>737553543You move consoles by giving people an incentive to buy them, making a gimped PC and giving PC users all its features anyway is losing over 100 million potential console sales if you go by the number of steam users. Why even make the console at that point if the market it's aiming for is limited to just kids that can't afford any better and Xbox diehards?
>>737556537It's a console m8, not a PC. It will act as such. It'll only access third-party stores through the Microsoft Store as apps. If you have a unified GDK, you're not going to have Steam using Steamworks SDK. Epic Games even stated their store will work differently on Helix vs how it works on regular Windows 11.
>>737556418>Microsoft is working of official Xbox and 360 emulators which is what I was referencing.And what will you play on it? Ninja Gaiden Black? DOA2? Almost everything from that era either has better ports / remasters elsewhere or playable emulated versions on other platforms which are barely different if different at all. I don't even begin on the "official" emulator issue. Will they just allow you to insert any kind of image into it? You know they won't. Barely a fraction of the library is available to buy digitally on Xbox due to licensing issue they can NEVER EVER fix. Good luck with buying Jet Set Radio Future for the official emulator.>The PS6 is going to be $1000 It won't be, it will be way chaper than that, $700 is likely. I don't know why do people think the Helix (general use PC) will be so cheap while the PS6 (dedicated subsidized system with locked down store) will be much more expensive? There is this notion I see in coments where people think MS will give you a full system for the price of the GPU alone because consoles are le cheap. The most likely is the same as now where the somewhat equal PC cost at least twice as much as the new console. The GPU in the PC cost at least as much as the new console. People say the Helix will be cheap because MS can get better deals (30+ million consoles sold) but Sony can't (90+ million consoles sold)?>Same reason people didn't buy a PS3 but bought a PS4?The PS3 was more expensive and had worse exclusives.The PS4 was cheaper and had better exclusives.The Helix will be more expensive and has no exclusives.Do the math.
This is all stuff you can easily do in a single afternoon. Xbox's problems are far bigger and more systemic.
>>737556704The incentive is being able to play old and new games as well as new games that is something the PS6 won't do. The Switch 2 dominates by being a great handheld and Helix could dominate by allowing people to game the way they want. People will look at the PS6 and ask "What's the point?".
>>737552295nta but I went where my friends went. I couldn’t get them to move to ps or pc; they were holdover dudebros from og xbox
>>737556687Contrast perfectly with milk
>>737548072>gamepass goes from $15 to $30 in less than a year>couple of months later reduce it to $23>"WOW THIS IS AMAZING!! PRAISE THE JEETETE."
>>737556687Are you cuckward?
>>737556895Your describing Series consoles. Again if Helix actually is going to be a hybrid it won't be simply just "desktop mode".>Will they just allow you to insert any kind of image into it? You know they won't.They will. Xbox BC is basically just emulation so if their developing emulators for both PC and Console it's going to be so you could play your own library.>$700Lmao no. No one said Helix is going to be cheap. Were saying the PS6 won't be cheap.>The PS4 was cheaper and had better exclusives.The Xbox One shit itself so hard people jumped to Sony and no the PS4 literally didn't have any games for it's first five years. The 360 was so popular and dominated for so long that most people didn't know about the PS3. Same will happen with the PS6.
>>737557009illiterate
>>737548072>bunch of promises that may or may not happen>game pass still more expansive than when it launched lmao, you retards will fall for anything
>>737557523Xbox fans are fucking retarded
>>737557231me and all my friends were 360 bros but when the xbone announcement happened we all immediately went to ps4. now theyre all on ps5 while i am on pc and ps5
>>737557938>Xbox fansI doubt those still exist. Its all jeet shills
>>737557465You got me mixed up with this guy>>737556994
>>737556530sarma is kino
How fucking retarded were they, that they're getting mogged by Indian woman that most likely never played a video game in her life before getting appointed as Xbox CEO?>b-b-but Don Mattrick killed Xbox and was unsalvageable!Despite all the controversies, Xbone outsold Wii U by more than 4 times. Nintendo seemed deader than ever prior to Switch, which became the 2nd best selling console ever and turned Nintendo into cult.Phil was the head of Xbox for 12 years and they never managed to get back. There was one good influence from that time and it was backwards compatibility.Xbox lost its identity when it stopped being edgy in like 2010.
>>737559752Everything they did was what Nadella wanted, it's the same with Indian chick. She needs to get dumb Xbots like you invested in their lie of a next gen console which they aren't telling the whole truths about.
>>737560186>She needs to get dumb Xbots like youI'm not an Xbox player. I never owned Xbox console, the only Xbox product I own is 360 controller, which I used in like 2 games before switching back to DualShocks.Xbox is doing way better PR now and some good changes. That's the fact.I don't believe in next Xbox console, it's probably going to be Xbox branded Steam Machine-like PC.I just hope that Xbox and 360 emulation on PC will be good.

>>737550162Xbox changes its logo so often, while Nintendo and PlayStation logos remain the same.
>>737559752>a piece of garbage outsold a flaming bag of dogshitwow
>>737548072will you redeem the xbox for her?
>games released: 0
>>737548072This is all the same nonsense Phil has been feeding us the last 10 years. The only thing to get Xbox back on track right now is to pull every single one of their games off PC, Playstation, and Xbox right now, every non online game needs to be delisted. Anything that’s multiplayer needs to immediately be switched offline on any system that isn’t Xbox and PC. Every game going forward is on xbox and the online games can come to PC after 2 years. Single player games never leave the console
>>737562210Why should I care what you think? Even if they do you'll say they're not GOOD games.
>>737548072Is she Brahmin?How do I get a brahmin waifu?
>>737560186Nutella doesn't even know what the Xbox division does or plans. He probably just yells at them when they don't make enough money.
>>737554431>TowerbornThis looks like fucking dogshit. That 2handed weapon standing pose is revolting.
>>737564283He's the one that said drop exclusivity and go multiplatform along with the one that pushed everything is an Xbox. Someone seems to not know how business works. This is how they get you, they play nice and then they show their true colors. I find it embarrassing that people in 2026 still don't know how Microsoft works, it's not rocket science.
>>737553697>Announcing helix and getting rid of "this is an xbox," both point to there being more xbox consoles, which is good for people with xbox digital libraries.That's irrelevant. People's are not going to lose their Series S/X. A new console is not needed to keep playing their current gen digital games.
>>737564283You think Xbox got to spend 70 billion dollars of Microsoft's money with him not knowing what's going on there? lolHe told them to increase their profit margins by 30%, knowing full well what they would require them to do, i.e. layoffs and price hikes
>>737548072She's made xbox more appealing than Playstation in the space of a day
>>737548828if she simply said ‘halo’, but really meant ‘combat evolved’, then she’s supremely based
MS will never provide funds to its gaming division necessary to compete. That's not how shareholder primacy works.
>>737569057In what way, Nishino alone has made PlayStation more appealing with wanting to bring that the old spirit of PlayStation lost. Microsoft hasn't done shit and are still keeping secrets. Hell, that shit about exclusivity, she says they have to check the "data". These fuckers are looking at spreadsheets so you're probably not getting any exclusives on your shitbox still.
>>737548072>No AIAnd you idiots actually believed her?

>>737548072The only thing that would save Xbox would be announcing like 10 high profile launch exclusives for the next system, with a signed affidavit stating they will never be ported to PC or PS, and then all 10 of said exclusives being awesome GOTY contenders. i.e. won't happen
>>737548072She's a DEI figurehead. The decisions are made by men above her.
>>737570364She said she's making the most powerful console for console and pc games. Anything else is just a bonus. Nobody wants some dogshit ps5/ps6 tier console which is struggling to play games because they cheaped out on hardware.

>>737575963>elder scrolls 6 exclusivePossible timed exclusives but since she said this: "We'll take a data-driven approach and a strategic-driven approach, and then we'll look at our principles and we'll make some calls. So we'll share more when we're ready," and this "Nothing we're ready to commit to," along with this "I want to make the right decision, not the fastest decision.", I'm inclined to believe nothing's changing.>dedicated NPU for ML tech like upscaling instead of having to rely on AMDustbin for feature supportGreat now every game will be unoptimized garbage>plays Steam games through Play Anywhere and plays EGS games due to integrated license>gamepassHow is this a positive?>free cloud savesOkay...>can run 5th, 6th, 7th and all the handhelds via emulationIt won't, it's locked down and won't even have a desktop mode
>>737548072I mean, can anyone be wrose than phil "Im a gamer" spencer?
It's remarkable that there are people in this thread acting like she's worth than Phil because they want to shitpost about Indians.
The fact that people are rolling out Xbot again means that the brand identity reforming. Think about that. Imagine if Tendie or Snoy just suddenly died off because they became that irrelevant. This is good news.
>>737580234No, it's because they literally have a paid shilling job at Microsoft for Xbox. They always had it, they recently got rid of it when Phil was on his way out and then brought it back for poopjeet bitch. Xbox as a brand is dead. At least Nintendo, Sony, and Valve have real unpaid shilling. Needing paid shills for anything is embarrassing.
>>737548394dead meme

>>737581450No? It's not a term of endearment; it's an insult for an enemy. Xbot coming back would mean Xbox is relevant again as possible competition.
Pretty surreal to see the amount of xbox hype on social media right now based on literally just the logo change (and also the gamepass price drop tbf).
>>737585790>You're just proving you know literally nothing about xboxI honestly couldn't give a shit about Xbox.>>737585805They're literally no competition, you really don't know how dead the brand is. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve already won, Microsoft needs to stop trying, they can't beat them.
>>737586512Those mentally fuckers are on pure cope mode, at this point, it's pretty sad. I'm also sick of these zoomer fucks coming here as if Xbox was ever good. /v/ was always a PC, Nintendo, and PlayStation board, it was never a fucking Xbox board.
>>737548072Gay. I wanted xbox dead and then just to be 3rd party publisher. Everything after the 360 was a horrid abortion.
>>737548290fpbp
>>737586850Don't worry, after 10th gen, that's what they're going to be, plus on the exclusivity, reports are indicating they may not do it as they're looking through the data sheets. Everyone knows Xbox's sales are in the shitter, they really can't do exclusives because they really don't have an audience.

>>737548072Not apologizing.Talk is cheap, wake me up when actions happen that regain the trust I lost after the Xbox one fiasco>>737548102Yeah, she is a cute little desi girl.But that actually is not a point in her favor in this situation.
>CFO makes retarded requirement to have 30% profit margins across every division >xbox suffers because that's almost impossible in this industry while competing on content and exclusives >Phil takes the flack for it>Shawarma comes in>Nadella agrees that was a retarded requirement and relaxes it heavily >Shawarma uses it to decrease game pass price and to bring back actual exclusives>she gets the praise for it Good for her career and for her optics but her ability to do this was because of Nadella and Hood changing the rules.
>>737548186Some of it does.But what you should have pointed out is these are all quick and easy changes, to make people like her more.Make it seem like she's doing alot already.The real test is what she does when rhe number of these easy changes to placate the people of Twitter run out.

>>737588449If they are doing a mini-PC that can use storefronts like Steam, they kinda need to. People would just buy from Steam, on NEXTbox instead of the actual Xbox/Microsoft store to get around needing to pay for online. If they try to make it paid online across the board, even for Steam games, then why would people buy this shit over a PC? Its also one of the best ways to combat Sony's paid online.
>>737589428what shit hole country do you hail from
>>737590131Not him, they're doing a locked-down PC with store apps in the Microsoft Store meaning it won't have Steam. GDK vs Steamwork, thus it will have paid online.
>>737590536Then I really just don't see the vision. Its one thing if you sell a Nextbox that will cost more than a PS6 but atleast have PC library existing vs one that has paid online, none of my Steam library, and will cost more than a PS6.
>>737590683I honestly don't either, they want to challenge everyone but it's all going to blow up in their faces. They should just call it quits and go third party already, it's gotten pathetic.
>>737590131They're already dropping paid online from the new gamepass tiers which is a signal of what's to come. Actually, the guy who leaked all this info said so too. Doesn't make sense for them to try and build an ecosystem of pc, console and handheld when you'd have to pay online. It makes you wonder how sony will navigate that space because they charge for fucking cloud saves so imagine you buy a ps handheld next gen and have to pay a monthly sub to sync your saves from your console to your handheld. It's fucking retarded and this trend needs to die once and for all.
For the Xshitters claiming the next Xbox will run third-party stores and will be a full PC with desktop>"So what we shared with our team is that we want the platform to be open for more people to create on the platform and more players to participate in customizing and extending that," Sharma said.>But an open platform approach as with the Xbox Ally as well? I cited Allison's comments about what Microsoft's plans for the future Xbox hardware had been, at least under the prior regime.>"I wasn't part of those conversations, so we'll make those decisions going forward as a team and with our partners," Sharma said. "We'll share more when we can."https://www.gamefile.news/p/xbox-asha-sharma-matt-booty-interview?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=66124&post_id=195300716&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=6izgs9&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=emailThis piece of shit, like I said, won't even have that, it may actually be worse since she talks about not even EGS being on this thing. It sounds like it's just a regular Xbox but using Win32 instead Xbox One/Series dev environment, kek.
>>737590887Sony has the built in audience with 2 generations of digital libraries now, plus whatever Classics of emulated games from before that. Phil said it right like 2 years ago, they lost the most important generation where digital sales passed physical ones. So Sony just needs to stop funding flops chasing some live-service dream and just put out the single player system-sellers that worked.
>>737590887Going by Asha and Booty here >>737591045, I doubt it, lmao. Xbots getting scammed.
i have a pc with a 5080 how if at all does this news affect me
>>737591097That's a flawed argument when the data doesn't prove people care about where their libraries are. They chase value and pro consumerism. E.g. the latest data has shown that more console gamers are migrating to PC quicker and in higher volume than ever before to the point where steam alone is breaking records for MUA every other month whereas console sales are worse off at this point globally compared to last gen. And before you say it's because of price, pc's have gone up in price way more than consoles combined with nvidia market leader price gouging. But people are still flocking to pc. The writing is on the wall for consoles anyway and the future will be pc-based tv devices (steam machine, helix, other 3rd party mini-pc's).
>>737590480>W-what c-country are you from?The sovereign nation of your rancid mother gut, free state for anyone and everyone!
>>737548072Call me when xbox has games. That's literally the only thing that matters, exclusive games.
It's funny to see Sony shills chimping out over this news >"we'll reevaluate exclusives">b-b-but she means they'll just come to ps5 later she doesn't actually mean they'll consider taking games from playstation! You can't take her corpo speak seriously!>"we'll look at the data">LOOK she said she'll look at data and that means playstation ports won't stop! Why aren't you taking her at her word!!!KEK the meltdown is unreal
>>737591352>doesn't prove people care about where their libraries are. They chase value and pro consumerismThey absolutely do care if a game is cheaper on EGS, or has that old coupon to get a ridiculous price decrease, but still buy it on Steam so its in the library/ecosystem. Also going from a console to a PC is entirely different from console to console. PC games go on sale way more regularly, have third party options for lower from poorer regions, and piracy.
>>737591630You can stop, Xbot, it's over >>737591045.
>>737591659The point is people get tired of being shafted. There is no brand loyalty, they'll tolerate it till they don't. And in this case PC is massively more consumer friendly than the average console and also easy to get into now. This isn't 2004 anymore. Also the console marketing propaganda doesn't work in the social media age. Shit like #4thegamers and all that is a running meme nowadays because basically everyone acknowledges playstation is definitely not for gamers when you do a basic comparison to pc. Pc is the biggest threat to console and while xbox is basically turning into one and embracing it, sony are opposing it which will just make their players flock to pc even faster. Reminder that Andrew house in 2016 said the pro consoles only exist to stop the massive exodus of PS players to pc. The ps4 pro flopped at doing that and the ps5 pro is even worse because it costs €1000 and doesn't offer jack shit compared to pc which can be had for the same price.
>>737548072Paid shill>>737588704
>>737592240>Pc is the biggest threat to console and while xbox is basically turning into one and embracing itNot him, but stop trying to ignore my post, a literal article from Asha and Matt themselves saying it >>737591045. All Microsoft did was switched out the Xbox dev env for Win32. This is still a locked down Xbox console with no desktop or third-party stores at all. From what insiders are saying, those decisions were made before anything was actually set in stone, no deals were even made.

>>737593190Sega Japan doesn't like Microsoft, never did, try again.
>>737593246They're even going back on many of their promises. Xbox Helix will now have paid online, no third party storefronts, no desktop mode, all while costing over $1000. You'll also barely be able to find it anywhere.

>>737548102Because she has tits and a pussy?
>>737593246nah Phil was an actual retard who thought if he bought a bunch of devs and gave them all unlimited budget and dev time they'd deliver AAA games instead of doing nothing for years on end while collecting a checkHe needed to hire some chad executives to bully them into doing their jobs but he didn't so now xbox is kill
>>737593401Xbot normalfags are retarded, reality is going to hit like a stone for them and I can't wait. I'm fine, these fuckers can get out of gaming. Helix will be a disaster and they'll find the Steam Machine and PS6 too pricy. We real gamers are going full handheld, baby.
>>737548072Did she cancel fable yet?If she cancel fable she could get some points
The most based move possible would be to tell Double Fine to make Banjo 3 or they lose all funding. I can't believe they let them make that shitty lighthouse game and kiln. What the fuck? Imagine buying and funding a studio to make their shitty art projects.
>>737593509He unironically saved xbox because he told satya not to close it down in like 2011 and then he convinced satya to buy Minecraft which in hindsight is probably one of the best investments in all of entertainment history because that shit prints money for days. Its up there with Disney getting star wars and Marvel for only like 4bn each.
>>737548102>shes so cute, saars
>>737593552Xbox only wants AAA shit, so Xbox will die with that, Nintendo, Sony, and Valve are all going for indies and AAs because they see the writing on the wall, even making baseline hardware for devs to follow over some super hardware like Microsoft is making.
>>737548072>raise gamepass price like 3 times>knock it down once>gamers call this a wini hope they all fucking kill themselves praising that is the most cuckold fucking behavior known to man>announced project that has been in development for several years and just happened to finish when she became ceoshe also isn't committed to human crafted games she said that the day she was made ceo and then immediately pivoted to using ai tooling in all aspects of xbox. this isn't even a problem as 9/10 studios according to schreier are using aithe rest of this is random fucking fluff that doesn't even affect brand perception unless you're a mouth drooling retard

>>737593472It's more likely that Phil was given resources to buy specific companies for either their tech (Ninja theory) or to lock down IP (Bethesda), and nothing more. Actiblizz buyout was a glowie thing, don't ask too many questions.

fable will save helix
>>737601175You calling Asha's own statements>>737591045, fake?
Zero reasons to get any other console (not including handhelds) when helix exists. Ps6 will be an over priced turd as usual and steam machine is still too early because of shoddy linux dev support and also the hardware is incredibly outdated even compared to low end systems. Like who the fuck wants a console with a 6600m laptop gpu in 2027 when that's basically ps5 performance which already sucks but at least that released in 2020 not 2027.
>>737602078>>737599875At this point, you'll be an absolute retard if you get Helix. You're better off getting a Switch 2, Steam Machine, PS6 home console, PS6 handheld, or Steam Deck 2 in 2028.

you now remember that sony shill sneakerso who said there wouldn't be an xbox console kek now xbox not only have a console but are going back to exclusives and also talking about making more publisher and studio acquisitions
>>737603901There really shouldn't have been a new Xbox >>737599875. They can only subsidize this down to $1000, but this is going to be a complete shitshow. They shouldn't have even bothered and just went third party, you absolute shill.>and also talking about making more publisher and studio acquisitionsAnd who would even agree to it after the first acquisition shitshow. Hell, after that, I doubt even the FTC, government, or other countries would allow Microsoft to acquire studios anymore. Xbox is completely and utterly fucked.
>>737548072And yet Xbox as a brand is still dead as fuck.
>>737550745The series x/s gen was the fastest selling xbox console gen ever till 2023 when they decided to do the "everything is xbox" and put less emphasis on console. The demand is there but the messaging was telling people to hold off. Extremely retarded in hindsight but at least things are course correcting now.
>>737604767How is this >>737599875 course correcting, you braindead shill? They can only drop the price to $1000 unless they're greedy about it.
>all talk and no actionsclassic woman moment, and no lowering the price of gay pass by like $7 isnt game changing
>>737548956>party chat only works 50% of the time forcing even the boomers to use discordabsolute bullshit. either your NAT is fucked or you're just lying.>xbox clubs, a place to curate your own community was shut down completely.they were worthless and just areas for pedophiles to lure kids.

>>737548956>>friend lists dont show online status.This is based actually. No I will not hop on a game with you just because I booted up my game system, fuck off. If I was in the mood to game with you I'd be on Discord rn.
>>737548072I can't fathom anyone being assed to consolewar on the side of xbox in 2026, at least sony is a lolcow
>your clips get autmotatically deleted after 90~ days, even those you have saved ON the console.I wish they told us what they were/are thinking with this, how does it make sense, in what way does it help them, is not like we are renting our console space.>>737548956>you can finally disable quickplay which didnt work 95% of the time aynwayLol what? It works most of the times, it doesn't work if you play an online game.
>>737548102good thing im white shall the time be right I'll be in bed with her that night
>>737599569This got sold out on preorders...even in Italy, where these things don't usually happen. Hell, when the Wii came out and people in the US were experiencing shortages, I didnt even have to pre-order mine.
>>737593401It is the usual cycle of it is over / we are so back.The moment the next Xbox fuckup hits it is business as usual. The rumors have it next month MS will fire a lot a of people which is very likely to include Xbox people as well.
>>737548072XBOX, RAPE MY MOUTH, BITCH!
>>737548072>thinks things like this happen in 2 months>doesn't realize all of this shit was in the works before she was even hired
>>737599875>$1200>paid online>Day 1 Game Pass will end>no third-party stores at all>fucks over game optimization>won't be sold in many countries>will be a niche reference device>no desktop mode>just Xbox Mode>only comparisons between Xbox Console, PC, and Cloud will be Xbox Mode, Win32, and GDK>digital-only>Xbox BC is all emulatedIf only half of this is true it is even more DOA than it was expected before. The good thing that this will have the halo effect of killing the OEM too, especially if it is way worse (member the ROG needing 3 different god damn sources - amd, asus, ms - to update the system software?). Also if they allow the OEM to have variable hardware it will have the disadvantage of the Series S AND PS5Pro except worse. The cheap ones will not run the games well and nobody will optimize for them. The more expensive ones will not run the games significantly better and no one will optimize for them. Except while the Series S and PS5Pro has some pressure through the console ecosystem for developers to consider it this won't be here. The most likely result will be that developers will even abandon the MS Store completely. Why bother with updateing two PC versions when one will not sell at all?This will make the Xbox One shitshow a stumble.
>>737550093i pick neither
>>737608891Depends, it’s only a logo and marketingA hard change can be done very quickly
>>737609153They're going to fuck over their own studios too because Xbox wants timed exclusives, the games would release exclusively to the Xbox Store and won't come to Steam, PlayStation, or Switch for some months to a year. No one is going to spend $1000 for a Helix or $800-$1000+ for an Xbox OEM for that stuff. Most will simply wait it out. Xbox is fucked. People will just get Steam Hardware, PlayStation devices, and a Switch 2.
>>737608891It is realistic in 2 months because these changes aren't something you need time for. These are mostly superficial. This is also why none of these change the never ending decline of the brand. An actual visible change would need a banger software lineup (they don't have and won't have), a great and affordable hardware (the opposite they are locked in to release in a year) and an actual generation where they only generate goodwill (they are incapable of).The Series generation could have turned thing around but they let it rot and now a decade has passed without Xbox being relevant outside of the Bethesda/Activision drama. It is IMPOSSIBLE at this point to turn this around with the little time Xbox has left.
>>737609794Yes. Even Sony is barely making money on timed releases on PC. Even if we entertain the thought MS will allow big titles to be timed exclusives (which they probably won't as I'm pretty sure the PS5 Forza userbase is beating the Xbox userbase by now) it will not sell the hardware just like it didn't sell when the Xbox Series X was $350 with Diablo IV.Not to mention the leak culture around MS (they wre the only company people reliably leaked on the regular even back in the 360 era) is absolutely murdering any kind of PR they might have. At this point everyone believes the next Xbox is a full fledged PC with an all Xbox backward compatibility App/Boot mode. This is supposed to be the carrot for it being significantly more expensive.If they keep the paid online, if you can't install anything, if you can't use your discs (most Xbox BC games are delisted by now), if it won't be sold in retail stores everywhere etc it won't just have no reason to own it but will make enemies of the leftover userbase. There is this retarded notion in the Xbox fanbase the next box is a last ditch escape route from the crumbling console industry. They get to keep their shit they bought for decades and console truly disappear they just become PC players in a comfy Xbox UI. This would pretty much kill that escape route because it won't have any support and they are stuckwith the One/Series MS is abandoning.
>>737548072Asha Sharma is just an excuse for an indian to put another indian in an executive position.
>>737609829The Xbox Series generation really needed to be their comeback. The Xbox One fucked them hard. It's far too late to recover now. Any move they make, "go full PC", "return to Xbox walled garden" they lose. Xbox is screwed no matter what they do.
>>737610176Microsoft should have just fully went third party, this is going to be a disaster.
>>737610176>most Xbox BC games are delisted by nowgrimI wasn't really planning on buying an xbox but this was the one interesting thing that console had going for it
>>737593509>We real gamers are going full handheld, baby.
>>737548290for white men only
>>737608089>ood thing im white Don't we all, Pranjeed?Don't we all...
>>737561915WMIW must become the new gold standard of cuck porn. The pathetic Indian males must be taught their place and know their value: pajeetas are meant to be used and dominated by white males.
>>737610547Interesting how a lot of people even outside Xbox like the backward compatibility because it had such a good rep. For a while a bunch of games came out regularly and most of it was improved a lot. Really tells the story how a software line up can have an effect.However the reality of the situation is:- Majority of the 360 library is not compatible.- Almost nothing from the OG Xbox library is compatible.- The majority of the games were delisted, even more so with the closure of the 360 store (you could buy games there you can't on modern systems). Delistings happen without any notice beforehand.- The Series S doesn't have a disc drive, the next system won't have a disc drive.- Even with a disc you'll need to download the game packaged into an emulator which means the moment online support ends for Xbox... BC will be lost.- The emulator only supports a certain "international" image for almost every game. This means no matter what disc are you using, content (mostly regional language support or regional content) won't be there.- While game updates are packaged into the emulator DLC isn't. BC DLC support is spotty and was killed even more with delistings.- The majority of BC games have their servers closed and the entire 360 online is probably from a decision away to be closed as well.- There are only a few dozen high profile games with substantial, remaster tier upgrades. The rest is nothing beyond what an unofficial emulator could pull off, probably even better. Really, official BC is only great because the unofficial Xbox emulation is in the gutter like the brand is.
>>737548072dont care. i hate industrial entertainment.return to homemade.
>>737548072I don't see a mentioned of new and exciting videogames in all that praise.
>Backward Compatibility is free and allows you to play selected Xbox 360, Original Xbox games and Xbox One games you already own>Basically a Windows PC in a box>Discs just work >Game Pass>GPU hits 12 teraflops>No CFW to this day>Unhackable Apologize
>>737548072so anything useful?the game pass cut was due to them wanting to remove COD from it. It wasn't even her being generous and wow a name change and X interactions such amazing progress.force sony into bankruptcy then we'll talk
>>737613169At this point BC just seems like a nice marketing bullet point to get people hyped up but it will ultimately be useless unless they make some major efforts to turn that shit around.
>cut Game pass priceBecause no one was paying for it after the changes>Announced Project HelixShe's the PR head, of course she'd be the one to make the announcement despite having zero involvement with its production.> Rebranding Microsoft GamingMG has more respect in the PC space than "Xbox", bad change.>Scrapped marketing campaign.....wasn't it already scrapped well before she was in charge? That shit was a one-and-done.>Commited to human made gamesShe's clearly using ChatGPT to figure out her responses, so she's a fucking hypocrite.>Fan engagement on X"Paid for bots".
They'll do anything but making good games. Or games at all really.
>>737605208>NATopen, even so you had better party connection on the 360 with closed NAT lol.>groomerprojection, clubs had potential but for the longest time they completely shit the bed and just removed them, as is the fate for eveything xbox related.>appearing offlinethats not the same, you can appear offline even if you dont want to.>quickplaymost games are online anyway and the feature craps its pants and slows down the game after successive sessions. you understand this was a positive for xbox right? now you can de-select games that dont work with this feature.>99.9% worthless clipsthat 0.1% is golden and whats the point of deleting clips from my offline library? also lmao for using one drive.how much rupees do you get for defending this shit lol.>>737605473it's based that you and your friends randomly appear offline?
