A night out with Asha
XBOX has been redeemed
#3 is never fucking happening. How do you think this brand has avoided dying a dog's death over the last 15 years? Subscription revenue.
>>739142832>mfw Xbox does the most Xbox thing ever and does the exact opposite of everything on that list
>>739143175>kills achievements while raising the pricepls god yes
>>739143164they can easily add a free ad tier. watch commercials before playing halo online or something. it’d be incredibly jewish but not impossible
Free online isn't a bad idea that would certainly give them one advantage over Sony
>>739143164If they made all online free and kept the games rental paid for theyd make more money via having a decent sized playerbase on their dead platform. Point is they dont want to be in the hardware biz.
>>739143483Problem: paid online is Microsoft's creation in the first place. They were the first to do it and they'll be the last to give it up.
Xbox is a rip off. Old shitty games are still 20$. From 360 era. They made the head of xbox an indian woman.
>>739143164Yeah but everyone is already subbed to gamepass premium or ultimate, it used to be that gamepass won't give you online play but now it does, so what is exactly the point here? They are not going to lose that much money
#11 - more blinx games
>>739143483If they went with free online multiplayer WHILE keeping backwards compatibility they would steal a considerable amount of SONY's player base.
Knowing ms it will be free online( laggy shit low tick servers for freesters) and normal servers for paid so they rape the freeloaders in every game making the freesters pay up to stop being canon fodder. COD has done this for years with paid for guns and skins( the skins have tiny hitboxes when new and the guns are broken/op for a week or so until new gun gets released. )
>>739142832how the fuck are they gonna do exclusives if the next xbox is going to be a steam machine-esque stripped down pc thing
>>739142832What's the fucking point of #6 IF THEY DON'T FUCKING PRINT ANY GAMES IN THE FIRST PLACE?
>>739143767They have gamepass they can charge for they don't need to charge people to play COD or Halo online.
>>739143948Helix is still custom hardware. Its literally fucking console with custom OS like current Xbox but it will have some gay ass stripped down desktop mode and thats it. According to you PS3 in its early life was stripped down PC because it could run Linux lol. That desktop mode will 100% be some shitty ass translation layer developed in house by MS and thats it literally something ala Steam Machine on Proton.
>>739143164Game Pass gives them a potential avenue to make online play free while still dangling a subscription in front of people, but I would be extremely surprised to see them do it.
>>739142832>3 Free Multiplayer, gutting a long time revenue source>2 Continue BC for 4 gens now, giant money sink via emulation and/or compatibility layers>10 Lower prices during multiple economic crisesCustomers want the impossible.The leadership must be sweating bullets.
>>739144224>literally (x2)>ESL
>>739142832>Diskslop>Avatarslop>Priceslop>Exclusiveslop>FamilyplanslopHenry Ford proven right again. Never ask your customers for what they want
>>739144252An artificially orchestrated scarcity by the families isn't an actual economic crisis. Obama was a better liar.
>>739144252>2 Continue BC for 4 gens now, giant money sink via emulation and/or compatibility layersYou're retarded. Their in house software emulator can get ported forward just like they literally do since 360. Base PS5 with Linux can run all emulators lol and fucking Series S in dev mode can emulate Xenia and Xemu ported to UWP as apps and performance and compatibility is really good. Sony is also retarded in that regard since recent Linux on PS5 showed that base PS5 can bruteforce even PS3 emulation too with zero costs whatsoever.
>>739142982>redeemedgamesirs we are so back
>>739143164>#3 is never fucking happeningprobably not but its one of very few Hail Marys that Microsoft can throw up that could potentially shift the momentum in their favor
lived long enough to see sony fall the fuck off and xbox try to redeem themselves
>>739144441Cuckold.
>>739143164Unironically, if it happened, it'd give them a huge advantage over Sony.
>>739144686You meant to say, "sincerely," sar.
>>739144493Every emulator has bugs that must be fixed and it takes a lot to go through games and make sure they still work without problems
>>739144739No, I didn't. Kill yourself.
>>739144805Stop trying to blend in when you only know Tiktok nigger ebonicisms.
>>739144451The families of computer parts production companies? Is this the new Italian mob for the cyberpunk era?
>>739143796>it doesFor now. If the entire purpose is to drop paid online that means off of gamepass too. So when people see they don't need to drop 15 dollars a month or whatever for paid online anymore, they will drop gamepass on console.
>>739142832woh a fuck all dat shiet niga
>>739142832My phone's feed has been trying to convince me #3 happened for the last three days but I ain't believing it.
>>739144902If you think you can make me forget about the shareholders: you are sorely mistaken, Moishe. I know all the names. Publicly documented information, online at all times.
>>739144202Except based on stats, people generally play a handful of games and its typically old games. I think a ton of console players would just drop gamepass, and play GTA6 Online now that they wouldn't have to pay for online.
>compatableSAAAAAAAAAAARS
>>739142832Is there any fanbase who is higher on copium than xbots? The price of helix alone is going to be such insane sticker shock that everything else won't matter>b-but asha Go look at the NAND and DRAM prices
>>739145086>only rumors about helix hardware come from iconera aka massive snoy central and kepler who is a such sonygroid he got banned on neogaf due to lies about nintendo and xbox hardware previouslyWe know nothing about Helix apart from AMD deal so it will use something similar to PS6 by default. Even if MS planned it to have godly amount of memory its hardware component you can easily pivot very late into design like they did with 360 where they bumped its RAM to 512 after design was finalized.
>>739145086Both next gen consoles will be stupidly priced to the point it will take years for anyone to bother with them as they'll likely have no games except maybe a GTA 6 next gen port.
>>739144739>Everyone I disagree with is [x]Do you ever try to have genuine conversations with people to change their minds, or are you some shitposting retard that gets his daily socialization from baiting on /v/?
>>739145086It's not that important for xbox. Nobody wouuld buy on release if they followed the xbone gen with what the series gen looks like now so either they're smart and slam on the brakes and release later or they're cheaper to manufacture in the time it took them to release a library that makes anyone enter.
>>739142832They're the ones who introduced paid online in the first place. No way they're gonna get rid of it. It's literally free money for absolutely nothing in return.
>>739142832#3 sure as fuck ain't ever happening on a console ever again. Should be used to it by now.
>>739142832>shes done nothing >xbox twitter fags who've been irrelevant for like 8 yearsThe brand is a joke. I even have a series x and owned an.og xbox on launch day and beta tested xbox live
why the fuck is no one wanting offline achievements, this is the most major problem with xbox since xbox one gen. Don't even bother making games until you make your basic features right
>>739144252>2 Continue BC for 4 gens now, giant money sink via emulation and/or compatibility layersThe only thing that would make me get the Helix would be if it's fully backwards compatible with every single game from every generation of Xbox, region free, straight from the disc, no downloads. (Not happening)Absolutely not boughtering it for one single 343 Gaylo exclusive and being able to play a select few "backwards compatible" One and Series games.
>>739144224Not him, but it's just going to have Windows 11 but launch in Xbox Mode. When it comes to exclusives, it really can't do that. Xbox is in the shitter so much to the point that those games will bomb and kill Microsoft's gaming division because Xbox won't sell. If Microsoft locks games off Switch, PlayStation, and Steam, no one is going to buy an Xbox and no one is going to use Xbox over Steam on PC. No matter what Microsoft does, they lose with Xbox. Dead brand.
>>739145086I can't think of one, Tendies, Snoys, and Steamies are a cult, but they aren't retarded like Xcucks.
What is Carlos Hernandez going to do when Gears of War E-Day is on Playstation?
>>739144805You are brown.
>>739151181They're saying exclusives but are Xcucks willing to pay the price for those exclusives?
>>739152623like playstation ports helped, the prices only increased after they started
>>739142832Look at all those things Xbox trannies won't get but the c-suite will dangle as the eternal carrot for the retards.
>>739142832>3 and 10Lmao. Fucking delusional.
>>7391547933 is pretty much inevitable if the Helix is a PC like everyone is saying. They could try to charge for basic online multiplayer in le xbox gamer mode or whatever they're planning, but it'd look super fucking retarded sitting next to Steam and everything else that doesn't charge on PC.
>>739142832>2019: exclusives don't matter they actually hurt the industry!>2026: Ok you know what exclusive do matter lmaoThis has been the biggest and funniest backpedal I have seen in gaming since forever.Even more of a joke if a fucking pajeeta with a major on AI can actually turn around Xbox, will make Phil look likw the most incompetent CEO ever even rivaling Mattrick era.
>>739155236Phil Spencer had a delusion that there would be a "one console future" and that Game Pass would be the dominant element on it, he was basically trying to do Microsoft's EEE on Sony and Nintendo and absolutely flailing like a retard while doing it
>>739156131And Sharma will do the same thing while dangling retard bait like feedback websites and logo changes to keep the idiots in the compound paying $23.99 a month.
>>739155013Helix isn't a PC. Console manufacturers will never give up their walled garden.
>>739143483it would make them a live option to me.
>>739142832I will never forget the goycattle clamoring for such an anticonsumer thing such excloosives. Xbox fans deserve everything they get. They deserve to get raped my micrsoft.
>>739159639And they will be raped hard
>>739143767they already killed paid windows
>>739144026trolled
>>739143948Asha is redirecting the whole ship, the helix will be locked down and have dogshit excloosives that the goycattle clamor for
>>739144585>mfw i have a gamesirit's dirt cheap and functional. i spent a whole day figuring out what is the best controller and bought this one just to hold me over... now i can't justify an upgrade
>>739144252>giant money sink via emulation and/or compatibility layersThey already have emulation for the Xbox and 360. The Xbone and XSX are just x86 Windows PCs with some custom APIs and DRM. They can totally maintain native compatibility with those games, and by extension the existing emulators.
>>739148181i don't care about achievements, why do you care about achievements?dork
>>739144441What makes any of this slop?
