>>741632904Selling to Saudi Arabia I'm sure
>>741632904Release the nudes!
>>741632904Elon has some spare cash
>>741632904I mean cuckbox is unsalvageable at this point, just get rid of it.
>>741632904Who could possibly buy Xbox and make it work?If Microsoft can't afford it, who can?More likely it gets its studios cut up piecemeal and the xbox brand gets licensed out
>>741632904Truly the queen of /v/.
>>741632904>valuetainment
I can buy it. I'm offering 500 dollars in cash
>>741632904They should implement a policy where Asha HAS to have sex with any new purchases of Xbox and at least $200 worth of games
>>741632904This was obvious when they brought in a female CEO. They always use ladies as fall guys when things are about to crash.
>>741633021Please let Musk buy Xbox, it will be funny as fuck.
>>741632904there isn't a single xbox or sony IP I give a fuck about, feels good desu
what if Sony buys them?
Arabs didnt fell for the Embracer scam, why would they pay 10X more for a dying brand?
>>741632904thats the price of releasing woke leftarded games
>>741632935Or china
>>741632904>trust me bro

>>741632904>Have pulsating rape booner for jeetas>After the xbox debacle i wouldn't sink my fat 9 incher into one if she bent over naked and said please do the needful master.
>>741633247new halo by bungie LOL
>>741632904I'm pretty sure they've been selling Xbox for 25 years now.
>>741633247I'm 100% sure people would try to stop that at all costs crying about monopoly laws
>>741632904>Poojeeta finally kills XboxBased
>>741633334would be kino
>they bought Zenimax and Activision for billions only to sell them couple of years laterhow is this not one of the most retarded financial fumbles on the last 30 years?
>THE RETURN OF XBOX
>>741633226I can name many Sony IPs I don't care for, but what's scary is I can't even name an xbox IP. It's all stuff on PC.
why didn't they just make games instead of announcing, then cancelling everything for 10 years straight
>>741633247I feel like they wouldn't risk years of anti-monopoly courts and break up the deal selling dev studios first. Plus I have my doubts of sony being able to afford buying the entirety of xbox, maybe they will try buying activision though.
>>741633324>"Yeah honey i'm coming home from work early, told the boss i got some bad news and need time to process, tell the kids to stay in their rooms tonight, they can see daddy strong-cry in the pickup on the drive again"
>>741632935saudi arabia is cancelling all their sports/entertainment projects since the iran war
>>741633591Because Sony bought Bungie and also released Concord to kill it
Who the fuck would buy a money sink like XBox?
>>741633247sony has no money left, they lost so much over their bungie/live service failures.
>>741632904Steam should buy it, and then they could launch it as the SXBox? Be a quicker way to get there than the steam machine.
>>741633678They're probably investing the money into oil pipelines that bypass Hormuz, somehow.
>>741633021New Xbox would come with preinstalled X app
>>741633591Because they literally got scammed. This is what they were told before buying, lmaoFeels like the sweetest poetic justice watching Microsoft be the one to get screwed after buying something, not gonna lie
>>741633247I could see them picking certain studios/IPs, but they really don't need an entire other physical console business
>>741633247Then they would go bankrupt lmao
>>741633021How he won't even need to pay somebody to fake his Diablo scores for him
>>741633591this kind of shit happens A LOTit happened to Epic when they bought a bunch of random shit like bandcamp and then sold it at a lose years laterpretty sure a similar thing happened with some of embracer's studios
>>741632982no.
>>741632904all this coming out so soon after the miniscule amount of goodwill they got from the showcase is very funny but also perfectly on brand for Microsoft
>>741633678That and they dont want to talk about it but their oil is actually starting to dry up. Not soon but within years and thats why Trump wants other places to drill like Greenland. They are pulling back on spending across the board.
>>741633021that would be the long con>buys twitter>renames it to X>buys XBox>doesnt have to rename it
>>741633808that's just game dev, especially AAA. the only sure thing is call of duty, fifa, nba 2k, madden. everything else is up in the air until the final pre-release marketing push. not even an E3 demo with a release date is 100%.
imagine nintendo buying it out of sheer irony of Microsoft teying to purchase rhem
>>741632935>>741633270Saudis and tecent already declined
>>741633208I feel like if Musk wanted to fund games, he would have done it already. It's not like people haven't hoped for him to fund Deus Ex after the next game got cancelled.
>>741632904>she will save xbo-ACK
>>741632904>"People" were actually praising this jeeta like things were gonna get better
>>741632904I mean they might as well, it's not like they have literally any idea what to do with it. Everyone who gave a shit about games left so all the people who are at xbox now are soulless corporate losers who wish they were working on AI and not this dead-end nerd shit.
>>741633247Sony would even try because anti trust laws
okay, thats nice, but how about Microsoft sells Ashas sweaty soles and puts them directly on my face
>>741634035I think it was mostly brahmin hoping to recoup all the izzat they lost going all in on ai.
>>741633052>If Microsoft can't afford it, who canMicrosoft can, its just dont want
>>741634113Just like everyone and the xbox console...
Let's be honest. Microsoft is stripping the Xbox brand down to nothing and are more then likely getting it ready to sell so they can use the servers for AI bullshit and the capital being spent on maintaining it to more AI shit. AI shit that is not making any money and is going to bury microsoft completely. If anyone is going to buy it, it's going to be Valve. They'll just turn it into an extension of steam.
>>741633991I think he was also burned by how shitty the experience of buying twitter was. Then again he's the kind of guy to keep doing dumb shit. Once the IPO goes through he'll be one of the few people with deep enough pockets to buy itI don't think he gives a fuck about many of Xbox's brands though. Actually he does like Diablo so many he'll buy xbox just for blizzard
>>741634035Streetshitters shills will praise anything for a warm bottle of cow piss
but /v/ said xbox is saved
>company brings in brown CEO>immediately chopped up and soldlike clockworkthe canary in the coal mine
>>741633678EVO bros, not like this...
>>741633987INDIA WILL BY india will byindia has the fastist growing gdp economy of 2026 so far and economists predict they well overtake china when china collapses so india will be the biggest in 2030india will be the future of videogaminf and will save videogaming
>>741632904>It's hard to make fun enjoyable video gamesUntil the social fabric loosens and things go back to experimenting all the current companies can die. They have zero creativity left. They chase each other in circles copy pasting the shit the one in front took. Same thing happened with Hollywood and now their movies blow donkey assholes under the afternoon sun in Arizona.
>>741632904>Twitter screenshot threadFuck you.
>>741634179So when google and Microsoft will be sold?
>>741633769Literally unironically yes. Valve buying Xbox would be kino as fuck
>>741634168there were plenty of retards saying that shit on every platformmost people are dumbasses, including people who shitpost here. you shouldn't be surprised at that
>>741633021Not like he could make it any worse. And it already has X in the name, twice.
>>741633769honestly would be funny
>>741633808The only big game is TES6 and that's not coming before 2028.
>>741634220no it fucking wouldn't. Valve don't have enough capacity to make new games in their OWN franchises. What the fuck is the point of giving them another 50 different IP with which they will make 0 new entries in
>>741634193SAAR india will save gamimg SAAR
>>741632904Based
>>741633808>Buys Rare forever ago>Walks in Rare's office to see DK stuff all around because Rare were DK's main devs since Country>Thinks they owned DK at that point, but had to be clarified to themIdk anon. I think Microsoft has always been pretty retarded and buy with very little research beyond "Company made big once? Buy company and own the games bwahaha!"
>>741632904>SEGA buy Xbox and release XboxCastTrust the plan
>>741633947What on Earth is this theory based on? Trump wanting Greenland is conjecture at best, since there's a litany of national security reasons to want that territory.
>>741634179It was already dead before they brought her in, you bring in the Indians to preside over dead companies. It's why big tech is Indian and there's zero innovation from them lately.Ever notice all the new stuff comes from... non-Indians and companies without Indian tech CEOs? They probably have to sell it to pay for their retarded AI investments which aren't bringing in nearly enough revenue.
>>741634261White cock sucker
>>741634150Actually its probably more of a real estate scam. Xbox was founded for two reasons: 1 to fuck over the japanese dominating an industry rather than america which Bill couldn't stand, 2 to get around loopoles to buy massive swathes of real estate in the most expensive parts of america on the cheap to let it appreciate in value.Its why they did such a push for return to office after covid despite being the company behind teams and zoom. Plenty of state laws required those buildings to be staffed or sold off.
>>741632904It was very clear why Asha was placed there for and everyone should have seen it from Day 1. She is there to gut it.
>>741634217if their income wasn't automated, they fucking would beMS and Google haven't made a successful product in decades, every single new things bleeds money (which is why xbox and stadia got axed). They only make money from licensing and telemetry, it just so happens it's cushy enough to keep funding all the terrible, middle-management-tier ideas
>>741634309Anon SEGA is dead, A pachinko company just uses its name
>>741634206>Twitter screenshot threadactually it’s X and has been for some time now, Elon is /ourguy/ and saved free speech with that purchasealso this source is owned by Patrick Bet David, another shining light and beacon of truth in the murky sea of leftoid disinformation and psyopsso do yourself a favor, sit down and educate yourself
>>741634362yeah, anyone with eyes knew that xbox has been in the process of having its organs harvested for a while now
If someone buys them, they'd stop making consoles and just make money from selling games. There's no point in attempting to save the hardware.
>>741634362If a female is in charge, 90% of the times is to fuck shit up.
>>741633052>Who could possibly buy Xbox and make it work?Amazon is the only one that might have some interest.
>>741633226but there are nintendo ips that you do give a fuck about right?
>>741634035things ARE getting betterI want the AAA industry to die, completely.
I hate clickbait culture so much
>>741634412You are telling me Xbox is gonna be bought by Yakuza?I see no problems here.
until Timdog leaves XBOX, its not over
>>741634443Hardware is the only good thing they do. They botched the early 360 though.
>>741633247What other anons said. Even if Sony could afford it, anti-monopoly laws would probably make courts go apeshit.
>>741633021Xbox Double X Accent Core +R
>>741632904Will never happen, but I want to see Nintendo buy them just for a funny reversal of that time Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo and got laughed at.
>>741634443The hardware wasn't ever the source of profits, it was the games, licensing, and extra fees you get roped into paying. But clearly not enough people are paying for all the extras, and now that computer hardware is getting more expensive the thing is probably under water and they lose money on every unit they're selling even with price increases.
>>741634452She's there to deflect criticism whilst the company gets gutted. I've seen it literally half a dozen times already
>>741634419>Thinks he can be handed truth Lmao. Humans never stop just short of full blown retardation. It's like you're alive but also somehow overrule the experience in favor of something else. I'll never understand it but it's amusing to watch from up here.
>>741633424both companies are dying. there won't be a monopoly
>>741633591It is the biggest financial fumble ever. 70 billion is ridiculous. The market cap value was 35~ billion.
>>741633021he would unironically save it lol
>>741633987How would you know when this is happening behind closed doors? Shut the fuck up.
>>741632904yeah rightstill microsoft are just about the worst possible stewards of all the IP they own. It'd be great if they were liquidated and people who actually want to make some games in these series got to do so
>>741634584With both Xbox and Sony rushing to see who can commit suicide faster, Nintendo will have a monopoly.
>>741634546XboX Super Turbo X series Z
>>741633021>buys something that used to be fun>makes it 1000x worse>acts like he's a saviorElon's MO
>>741634663Anon, Nintendo is literally dropping out of the games industry to be a movie company.
>>741633947>That and they dont want to talk about it but their oil is actually starting to dry up.You got it all wrong, they still have ridiculous amount of oil, but the costs to extract it are going up with time. They still have enough oil to sell as always up to 2060 some even say 2100.
now is the perfect time to unleash the Steam Machine, Valve can quickly take the highly coveted third place in console marketshare
>Xbox completely irrelevant>relevant only when it's at the brink of death>it's all about Sony and Playstation nowAnd you people told me Playstation was going to be the first one to die.
>>741634573I doubt you've really seen it. You're just making stuff up, IMO.
>>741634663it's basically already a nintendo-valve monopolyat least in core gaming, roblox is bigger than the rest of gaming combined 3 times over
>>741634743bullshit
>>741633808What a timely roadmap! Only 4 years behind schedule!
>>741634758And at $1200 per Steam machine how can't it fail?
>>741634663Playstation is still profitable, though.
>>741633021grok could make better games than the trannies who killed halo and all the other xbox games.
>>741634663I love how Steam Trannys and Xbots always try to lump in Sony to failing alongside Xbox even though the PS5 is doing well and going to the moon when GTA VI launchesas a Switch 2 + PS5 owner I find it laughable at best, embarrassing post
>>741634767I mean they basically did commit suicide. Sony can't even get any games made anymore, they just exist to be a 3rd party box now. Are you still 'alive' if all you are is a 3rd party box? It's like saying Lenovo is a gaming company because people play PC games on their laptops.
>>741634684>pre-musk twitter>fun
>>741634684Imagine liking twitter
>>741634743Your post would look less retarded if they weren't releasing a game in 3 days.
>>741634758They were going to do that and release Half Life 3 to go with it. Then the RAM crunch happened and they know they can't sell much hardware.
>>741634767>you people told me Playstation was going to be the first one to dieWe didn't expect the ballngun retards to spent so much in Fortnite 10 years later.PS is basically the same as the mobile market, low quality games for the broadest audience.
>>741634767>Playstation was going to be the first one to diewas always cope from North American Xbox sissies and PC only fats, once GTA VI launches it’s going to at least triple the lifetime number of PS5 consoles sold
neathope sony sells off playstation as well
>>741634386Fair enough
>>741632904Remember: Indians are handed leadership when Jews are ready to divest. They are cheap C-suite picks that can orchestrate a managed decline.
>>741632904>>741633247What if Nintendo buy them?
>>741634980you’re more likely to see Gaben sell Steam/Valve so he can afford more yachts
>>741634867>>741634875Tesla and Elon have set electric vehicles back by decades.All the hype is gone.Everyone hates them.Nobody but rich faggots can even afford them.Elon personally made it so that EVs would be linked to him and China, making them utterly unattractive to all Westerners... solidifying the oil monopoly over fuel for Muslims and Jews to exploit and punish us (as they are currently doing).
>>741634798That would put Eldercscroll 6 in 2028 and that not happening LOL
>>741634637Rumors, that's Microsoft already consulted them and both declined
>>741634756Most of the world will begin to run out of easily extractable fossil fuels around the 2050s which will also increase demand on remaining supply.Time to get into electric cars (European not chinkshit)
>>741632904I thought Microsoft was already selling Xboxes?
>>741634452It's called the Glass Cliff.
>>741634958GTA VI is going to flop so hard lol. Nobody's buying a PS5 for one fucking game. Or the 20 or so it has since it came out.It has to have the fewest number of games per year of any console ever made.
>>741632904They should, just go full fucking third party and stop making consoles.
reminder who won the console war
Who would bother buying it?The Xbox division profit margin for 2025 was 3%. Dumping that money into the S&P 500 and doing absolutely nothing for a year would see a better ROI than running Xbox.
>>741632904She's only been CEO for like 2 months, literally speedran the company
>>741632904>Bethesda actually crashed xboxKek
>>741634882Not just a game in three days. Another game next week and another two weeks after that. Don't worry though. The usual suspects will come out of the woodwork and go "THAT DOESN'T COUNT!" as if one Nintendo movie a year compared to over a dozen first party games a year totally means they are abandoning video games guys.
>>741635103aren't they already there
>>741635040>solidifying the oil monopoly over fuel for Muslims and Jews to exploit and punish us (as they are currently doing).There's very little oil in Israel tho
>>741635101It won't flop, it will break sale records... but that's the problem.It will disappoint MILLIONS of people and might just crash the gaming industry since nobody will trust any news games if even GTA is a slop franchise now.
>>741635101>GTA VI is going to flop so hard lol. Nobody's buying a PS5 for one fucking game. Or the 20 or so it has since it came out.I guarantee you GTA VI will be sold on disc.
>>741635040you arent really living in reality.
>>741635062Hydrogen is the future, not hauling around 1500 pounds plus of batteries everywhere in every vehicle.
>>741634849>PS5 ownerI find this part laughable. What the fuck are you even playing on that overpriced brick that you can't play on PC? Knack 6?
>other companies dropping dead left and run>but Nintendo is still going strong 40+ years laterUnironically, how the FUCK did they do it?
>>741635165sold out
>>741634352Realestate scam?No, bro. Billy" the midwit schizo" gates wanted a windows set top box for...ever. He's always wanted it. The Xbox guys had to practically beg them to not name the xbox the windows box. Microsoft was more then willing to sink untold billions into this to make this happen and make windows a household name even if they've never even touched a desktop. The same thing happened with the windows phone, the zune, the surface, and the other windows products that failed. That's the reality of it. The only non windows OS venture that really worked in the consumer space was the Xbox. And they were more then willing to throw billions at this pr friendly machine to keep it in people's homes. Simple as. the thing with real-estate. I don't think that's it. Hell I've heard that most of the people who wanted to end work from home stuff are do-nothing middle managers and hr people who found themselves redundant.
>>741634991It'd be kinda fucked up if they put an Indian woman in charge so that gamers would go after her and blame her instead of Microsoft since gamers are against both Indians and women atm.
>>741635146Which is why they want this, and to control Iran's government. Pay attention!
>>741635101I hope that it fails for the shitshow post launch. I used to care about GTA but only during 6th gen.
>>741632904It's amazing how quickly the leadership at Microsoft destroyed what little new credibility that Asha had managed to build up.
>>741634352No, xbox was made to mitigate the risk for playstation to evolve into some multimedia/pc like putting pc desktop and windows in danger.
>>741633591The problem is, as it has been obvious for years now, that game dev takes 8 years.It's absurd.No software company should be taking that long to make anything.
>>741633908come on Asha, it's me, Salman. I'll buy Xbox, but post the nudes first
>>741635164>it will break sale recordsNo it won't, nobody is going to buy it until they see the streamers play it and it's going to be Concord 2.0.>>741635165Too big even for a Blu-Ray. And slow.>>741635204They won't sell any copies, Concord 2.0.>>741635239It's taken like almost ten thousand people what, over a decade to try to make this game? There is no way it's going well.
>>741633021the most interesting outcome is the most likely one. Very few people would be willing to take the risk on a badly run company
>>741635179
>>741635062I agree that most countries will run out of their national reserves, but not guys like the Saudi or Venezeluans that have like 20% of the world's reserves. Saudi oil is good and had the infrastructure to make it better, the Venezeluan one isn't good and they lack the proper refineries to make it good.
>>741635141Supposedly there was a new console in the works but with how little they sell and how expensive the hardware is right now, I'd say fuck it. Use the memory and storage for AI endeavors instead.
At this very moment America burns.
>>741633591Money doesn't actually exist for the rich because they can just pretend they have the funds to pay for anything or print more money.
>reportedly>considering>fake checkmarkThanks for wasting my time
>>741635136>doesn't make TES6 but instead make a shitty Fallout mp game and boring space game Yep.
>>741635179Japanese values. Even omega shitters like Capcom, Square Enix and Bandai Namco are still here.
>>741635234A conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory. Astounding!
>>741635179Nintendo has an army of manchildren who will buy anything.
>>741632904I keep thinking this one is AOC
>>741635234Man you really are intent on making yourself sound deranged. I'm kind of glad to know that this is what Musk haters are like, since I always thought he was just some autist.
>>741634663PS will never die, even if Sony dies, someone will still buy PS.
>>741632904>poojeeta takes over>immediately ruins company
>>741635291>SalmanThe Ayatollahs have never forgiven you. They'll assassinate you at the ceremony marking the sale.
>>741635275Microsoft put Asha there precisely because she is fulfilling her role. It takes a certain kind of person to essentially tell thousands of people that you are going to be out of the job. Asha was put in as a liquidator.
>>741635324How did they get through the N64 and GCN eras where they didn't have many games?
>>741635314Nearly 2 billions if not more spent on making GTA 5.2 isn't a good thing indeed. Also, Thursday is when the price will be known. Normalfags will buy it at 100+.
>>741635234NTA but i support it. A "western style" government in the middle east that mostly shares our values(open and fair elections, free and equal rights, no religious/blasphemy laws, no barbaric public punishment) in control of a large part of international shipping and a fucking nice tourist destination, great infrastructure, health care. LIterally no downside. And since they would be allied with the rest of the western world we'd have a might-makes-right country that we can actually support to civilize the barbaric muslim hordes.
>>741633678Well there goes the new LoTR game they were rumored to be developing.
>>741635398>>741635446The type of retards to rally everyone to fight AFTER they have already been invaded and conquered... everything just a fucking conspiracy theory to you people until it's in-effect and you can't do anything to stop it. Then, when people call you fucking morons, you will say>B-BUT THERE WAS NO PROOF AT THE TIME!!!!like the cowards you are.
>>741635221That was certainly not the motivation. As I said, Indians are good candidates for managed decline. I have no idea why they would hire a woman though, maybe it's her looks.
The downfall of American gaming companies needs to studied. How did these retards only hire these fucking retarded lefties, who don't even make good games?
>>741635574>no religious/blasphemy lawsKek, lmao even.
>>741633808You mean Elder Scrolls 6 was announced prematurely to make the acquisition seem like a better deal than it really was????
>>741633591Not to mention all of the actual good studios they bought and then just disappeared off the face of the earth.
>>741635663We would call the FRAUD in the real world but in gaming....
>>741635036at this point it does seem like sony is going to just keep throwing money into that hole until it kills them
>>741634348Keep that chomper away from my Aryan dong.
>>741635324
>>741635654Specific examples or hang yourself with razor wire. Your choice.
>>741635179Helps when you A) Are in the business of actually making video games.B) You are the last company on earth that still pushed local co-op, so everyone with kids, a brother, or a friend that lives nearby are an automatic customer.
>>741635436AOC is an ugly nigger mutt bitch. Asha is Euro-Indo mixed so she's not bottom of the barrel. Dalits are more disgusting than American dysgenic blacks.
>>741635573I did a quick calculation and they've spent more man-years on GTA6 than they did on IBM's Project 360 which led to the famous book The Mythical Man Month which dictates, the more people you heap onto a project the worse it gets.
>>741632904oh no
>>741635275>that Asha had managed to build up.If you couldn't immediately tell that she was the butcher who was put in charge to gut what's left of Xbox, you're fucking retarded.
>>741633379That would be amazing! I wouldn't play it, but the sheer incestuousness of it would just be the chief's kiss. Like US gamedev is such a small, unsucessful pond that it has consolidated into singularity and all IPs now mingle together in the most bland multiverse.
>>741635637>How did these retards only hire these fucking retarded leftiesCapitalism, third worlders are a cheap workforce but you need to brainwash the competent developers to babysit them. You move bigger margins up to investors/CEOs while you burnout your competent members into quitting or manager roles.
>>741635726Israel bans the usage of a lowercase 't' and the plus sign '+' because they hate Jesus Christ so much and despise Christians.Not a joke.

But when she came in, it didn't seem that way at first, and I dared have a shred of hope.Then her boss Satya started talking about how all games must have monetization, and I knew it was doomed. Even then, I was hoping it meant Xbox would try to make their own Concords and Marathons and it would kick the can down the road until the next console generation. But now it seems Satya has decided to speedrun it.What is it about getting MBAs that seem to make intelligent people lose common sense?

>>741635179Nintendo are not capable of mild competence. They either fumble more then humanly possible or make galaxy brained moves that pay off decades later like Iwata calling the current state of game development back in the mid 2000's and adjusting according resulting in Nintendo running a tight ship. The galaxy brained moves saved them.

>>741635954>Xbox's death represents pretty much the death of America as a relevant competitor in the console hardware spaceThey never were in the race, Microsoft was panicking because they thought console makers were going to enter the PC market with OS that weren't Windows. Xbox was always a stalling enterprise, Nintendo isn't interested at all on PC, Sony fumbled big when they toyed with the idea during the PS3 era and Valve hasn't been able to make a significant dent.They wasted a lot of money, but they accomplished on its original purpose.
There's absolutely no way this happen and people who believe so are insane or simply do not know how things work, especially as EVERYTHING in the Xbox is related to the Microsoft infrastructure. from it's development, software and even stuff like accountsGetting ride off or replacing things would be extremely costly if not completely impossible due to the way it was made.
>>741635040Elon was the only one who was seriously invested in meme vehicles. Imagine being so retarded you look at all the problems we're having trying to generate cheap and sustainable electricity and thinking we need to introduce another wasted input.
>>741635954Consoles themselves are dying, anon. It's not just MS that's suffering. Sony is in deep shit and Switch 2 takeup is mid at this point.They will all hail mary exclusives for a little while, to try to make people buy their consoles, and in a few years they will all be making their games for PC and phones and tablets exclusively. Switch is already just an old phone lol, and Playstation is just a weak-ish PC. The era of 'console hardware' already passed, everything's been COTS for years and years. Nothing really to distinguish any current console from a slightly older phone or PC now.
>>741632904Modern Microsoft doesn't give a shit about Xbox. They just want to win the AI race.It doesn't even make them money, and it's been more of a stain on their reputation than anything else since the 7th gen ended.

>>741632904That much was obvious the minute she started using slash and burn tactics on their budget and every developer they bought.

>>741636189>For the Jewish people, the sign of the cross can provoke a reaction not dissimilar to a swastika. Often Christians do not know what Jewish people have suffered in the name of the cross, and so fail to understand the strong, negative reaction to it. But here’s roughly what happened: After being expelled from Israel shortly after the time of Jesus, many Jewish people over time migrated West and many settled in European countries. Christians countries. Perhaps there they could hear the gospel in a way that made sense to them? Experience Christian love, and have a revelation of the Messiah? Sadly, the opposite happened. For many centuries, Jewish people were not only viciously discriminated against, but were tortured and killed by people brandishing crosses. By Christians. Country after country would forcibly expel their Jewish populations unless they converted to Christianity. But that seemed like idol worship to Jewish people, who had strongly received the message that God is one, not three. Bowing down to statues and crosses seemed to them to go against the very first commandment. The clash was harsh and the reprisals merciless.basically they think Christians are equivalent to Nazis, worshipping Christ is "idol worship," and that IF THEY WERE ASKED NICELY TO CONVERT they would've done so but now they have a score to settle with Christians.remember this whenever any fucking boomer or some zoomer neopagan says "Judeo-Christianity"

>>741636169>I don't foresee Xbox ever coming back to life as a brand.I disagree with this, I think MS will just move the Xbox Store to PC and try to put a (samll) dent to Steam with it. Of course, they would need to make all the Xbox libraries available on PC.

>>741636162>Consoles themselves are dyingI wonder if that can be blamed on the simple fact that everything is on PC now. If you go back to around the PS3/360/Wii Era there was still quite a few console exclusives going on, with there being more and more console exclusives every generation prior while PC was really its own separate eco-system.Now everything is Day 1 multiplatform so why wouldn't you get the game on the platform that has the best performance and best for archival reasons which is the PC.

>>741636162Phones still don't occupy the same mental, cultural or physical space that dedicated consoles do even in total spite of their hardware being more than capable of similar levels of video games, that MCON project being designed to try and convert phones into a Switch-like experience of playing anywhere and docking it to your TV at home, and phone hardware being the driving backbone of most Chinese retro handhelds. Consoles still separate themselves from phones in one bespoke development environment, dedicated hardware and game exclusivity, same as it's always been. The problem for consoles isn't that those things exist, the problem for consoles is that PC is a better offer (or was, until recently, with AI datacenters making it fucking impossible to get your hands on SSDs and RAM). Nintendo still bobs along just fine because they keep a pretty high quality median of exclusive titles, their IPs have high recognition and legacy value, they cultivate younger developers like Grezzo, Next Level Games and Retro Studios all the time, and since the Switch their consoles are actually pretty hard to crack into (post-launch Switch models with the epatch are the first console to put mod chips back into vogue in a decade or two).>>741636405Yeah there's basically no reason to buy a Playstation or Xbox if you already have a powerful PC. The barrier there though is that a powerful PC costs substantially more than a Playstation or Xbox.

>>741636626Those are also just examples, and NLG in particular wasn't explicitly owned by Nintendo until around the time of Luigi's Mansion 3. Nintendo's been in the game the longest of the three major software publishers too, their first outings that could be considered similar to video games were the light-gun toys they were making in the 70s.

>>741636405>I wonder if that can be blamed on the simple fact that everything is on PC now.Partly, heck the Xbox was invented to bring PC games to the living room after all. Original one even ran Windows CE. They tried to kill piracy by switching to the IBM processor which worked OK and then a managed PC with hard core security.It makes sense to blast out a game, heck ever since the olden days getting your game onto multiple platforms was seen as a wise move by many, if not most developers.>Phones still don't occupy the same mental, cultural or physical space that dedicated consoles doThey are merely computers and phones are capable of playing any Switch game for sure. Nintendo could make a phone and people would buy it if it was a Switch as well. They are converging, have converged. There isn't a Switch owner who isn't also phone gaming.Nintendo will be OK because their pho- I mean Switches are cheap as hell to make, people buy Nintendo not for specs, but for the games as you say. And Nintendo just makes the same types of games endlessly, it pleases the Nintendo people so why not?>>741636773>There is no energy efficient way to make hydrogen and will never be.It can be made by simple fracking, which can be done easily and cheaply by various methods from water. No need to mine or drill... anything.The argument that 'it takes more energy to get than it gives' also applies to oil and hydrocarbons, it's just that that energy was done by geophysical processes. It's a common fallacy I see certain people employing.Chinese, Japanese, Koreans are already doing it, Europe too, the only question is how far behind the US will fall clinging to oil before we realize we need this cheaper and cleaner and more abundant fuel. Heck you can make hydrogen by pouring water onto a catalyst lol. And there are minerals and synthetic substances which can store millions of times their volume in gaseous hydrogen and release it on demand.I've seen you. You're a liar lol.
>>741636969This doesn't distinguish between platforms so it's useless as a data-point for this

It's too late to squirm and object and all your arguments are pretty easily destroyed. Hydrogen prime movers are being manufactured in volume here in the USA now, Japan, China, Korea, France, Germany... you're fighting a losing battle and you can only bribe now, killing people won't do it. Cummins is cranking out turbo-hydrogen truck engines. You gonna kill them? Nah you won't do shit. You're getting weaker.

>>741637012>And Nintendo just makes the same types of games endlessly, it pleases the Nintendo people so why not? NTA That's already a sinking ship, hence they started shitting their pants when the food of open world anime shit nullified the exclusivity of their Breath of the Ubislop but cartoon format, and crashed out when in 2024 Palworld started a flood of 3D highly marketable monster collectors that's about to hit the market Nintendo though to have a permanent monopoly on as birthright as a colossal tsunami in 2026-2027.Why do you think there have been all these discord brigades crashing out since Genshin humiliated Aonuma in 2020?
>>741638317>not having gaming branchApple makes insane gaming profits. Ninendo, Sega, MS, Sony, they all have games on the iPhone. It's not for le hard core gaymers, sure. But it's a thing and they probably make more PROFIT than Sony, MS, or Nintendo just on shitty phone games.
>>741637861It's likely be spun off and become a publisher
Yeah, this is my first time hearing about hydrogen as power source too.
>>741635018Those cock suckers could have bought sega and capcom when they were both cheaper then chips and the Wii owned the world. Just slid Sega's Ip into the nintendo ecosystem, kept capcom afloat and left them to be third party outside of a few nintendo only titles.Perfect plan. Even kept a unhackable dvd version of the wil around for 50 bucks to be HD televisions as a set top box. Every fucking smart televsion is doing a piss poor job of imitating the wii ui now. Nope, some retard got a hair up their ass about streaming to tablets poorly and they sunset the wii. Fucking imbeciles.

>>741634769Not him but that's exactly what happened with the female Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer when they basically gutted it and sold most of it off piece by piece.

>>741634767The PlayStation brand is also on it's deathbed. Nintendo was the only Smart enough to abandon ship and commit to movies, videogames are basically over.
>>741638454I don't know what you mean, you're going to have to formulate that better. Nintendo has their tendies, they will buy up everything Nintendo, they will buy games they have on NES and SNES despite having both hooked to their TV.These people are addicts, they will just buy everything. Maybe not a new Switch, not yet... but some day. When the battery goes bad on the old one.
>>741638538it's highly volatile and can't be stored very easily, which is why it hasn't happened for cars yet
>>741638472They're not. Look at their financial reports. Apple arcade and such do make money but overall theyre relatively small player. Theres a reason why they need to approach publishers and devs directly for their silicon support while "dead" Xbox gets supported by default. Xbox would be massive for them both from hardware and software perspective.
>>741638562Native Americans are not Americans.Bretons (in Brittany) are not the same as Britons (in Britain).read a book
>>741638351> the problem is that they know that they never recover a cent invested on this shit so mighty as well not waste more.Consider that Xbox itself is also a joke of a brand, no one respects it. Having Xbox stick around legitimately probably does reputational damage to the parent company. Once upon a time, Microsoft's PC peripherals were thought of as being premium and top of the line, the entire Microsoft brand was seen as quality in the 90's. It's absurd how Microsoft's public perception has fallen and Xbox being a fucking joke probably plays the largest part of that because other failures like the Zune are mostly forgotten.
>>741638010>One of the rarest noble metals we are already in a shortage of because of the electronics industry making it financially impossible even IF it was energy efficient, which it still isn't. Fucking bravo. >Still can't comprehend that fossil fuels are not made, just extracted, making them a source of energy unlike hydrogen needing massive amounts of energy to be produced with high tech and not returning enough to fuel it's own generation.Yeah you eat that scam like candy.

>>741639642grew up rich
>>741638642Nintendo is trying to capitalize on being a luxury brand with an air of exclusivity. The core of this strategy is the DISTINCTIVENESS, and EXCLUSIVITY of their flagship IPs' genres which they started building in the 2010s.We are halfway through the 2020s and Aonuma's golden format of BotW they heavily bet on got OBLITERATED by the Chinese by 2023 with the complete humiliation that is Tears of the Kingdom, and it's impossible to compete with gacha games now having vastly improved the format while running on the cheapest and most common hardware. The death of the sense of luxury is when it's in the hands of the commoners.Then in 2024 a sloppy indie shat all over Pokemon with a shitpost survival game with the Chinese instantly following suit having proofs of concepts and tech demos ready by the second half of 2024 and dropping in late 2026 and all around 2027.Now the Zelda franchise is essentially dead, desperately trying to backpedal to regain it's alienated audience and invent a new format, and Pokemon has literally zero substance that could compete with the new competition. Their patent trolling was a last ditch effort to try legally keeping out the Chinese from Japan and America, only resulting in it backfiring and causing them to lose massive amounts of money and patents instead. Again, this is a sinking ship because their entire strategy fell apart in less than a decade, and the gacha market is shifting from it's faulty character and power based monetization to cosmetics and shopping sprees, which is actually successful and accepted in the West.The Tendies here are discord raids ran by Nintendo's paid groomers(social engineers) and NPCs that were extra successfully groomed.
>>741638010Hydrogen can't repay the technology's production to produce it in the first place you fucking sheep, just like how wind and solar can't repay it's technology. This is the entire fucking scam. They neglect to tell how the equipment costs so far more energy than the energy produced.
>>741638317I can completely believe that they're considering it and just denied it to avoid causing a panic. The current Microsoft CEO does not care about Xbox, and he's made it clear that Microsoft is done subsidizing it.
>>741635559Portables. >N64Pokemon was huge and the GameBoy + Color sold like 110 million units and truckloads of games. >GameCubeThe GBA sold over 90 million units despite being the main portable for only 3 years. Then the DS happened. The individual software sales for N64 and GameCube also weren't terrible. Both systems had healthy enough attach rates.

>>741632904Indian ceo selling American assrts>>741632935Whom else? Doubt china will buy.
>>741637945Probably Blizzard and Bethesda too, especially if TES6 actually comes out. Blizzard is fairly successful still. Diablo makes tons of money, WoW is a stable source of income, and Classic/Anniversary/SoD have shown they can just do a fresh reset and people will show up. Overwatch, after getting BTFO hard by Marvel Rivals, has managed to get it's shit somewhat together in order to compete with Rivals. Bethesda just needs to release a game more than once every decade and they'll be fine.

>>741647374china might have the money, but it's a slippery slope, it would be blocked by regulators. saudis might take the bite, but I'm not sure what exactly they are getting with this, if it's only an xbox hardware brand without call of duty and other studios, it's not that appealing. elon would be the best option out of these three, he's a gamer, so he gets the culture, he already has a vision of how a future of vidya might look like powered with AI and he has the tech, the infrastructure, and the know-how to pull it off and make amercian gaming companies under the xbox ubrella compettive again/the best in the world by removing tranny homosexuals and woke elements. but he's also incredibly busy, so I'm not sure if he has time/energy to deal with this shit, not to mention how big of a shitstorm this would cause among far-left activists/democrats. he would basically control large parts of cultural output, giving him the power to influence hundreds of millions of people around the world with his worldview. leftists/nigger-trannies/jews won't allow this to happen because they would lose the culture war for good. the best option would be if sega or nintendo had the money to buy xbox and made it based again.
