I don’t fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don’t think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn’t flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

The Switch 2 and this console will be separated by about a year.

CidVicious,
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well we still don’t have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Rumor has it that’s exactly why this launch got delayed. It’s been in production for months now.

CidVicious,
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

shrug I guess we’ll see but I don’t think it’s at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don’t see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’ll be softer for a number of reasons, but “softer than one of the most successful consoles of all time” is still a high bar to clear.

I’m shocked they’re releasing a new console TBH with the spin campaign of “this is an Xbox” and releasing once exclusives on competing platforms

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe they wouldn’t bother if they could get Game Pass on someone else’s console.

“Xbox Prime”

Bullshit. Microsft backed away when challenged over naming a product “SkyDrive”, there’s no way they’d step on Amazon’s dick like this.

www.wired.com/story/microsoft-skydrive-onedrive/

Might as well say they’re calling it “iGame” or “iBox”.

I dunno that the "Prime" name is that hard to get. If a couple of YouTubers can name their energy drink "Prime" and get away with it, then I imagine Microsoft wouldn't have much trouble using it.

Energy drink isn’t operating in the same tech space though.

A third Xbox? I thought Microsoft was pivoting to mostly cross platform stuff, I’m surprised they want to try and push more Xbox consoles after their sales. Like another shitty console is gonna tank so hard unless they have a real reason for this new one lol. At least the handheld sounds interesting.

Kelly,

unless they have a real reason for this new one lol

If they spin this so gen10 Xbox games don’t have to offer feature parity on Series S that will please a few people.

sparky, do games w Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty

I mean, the current Xbox is already hiding Windows under the hood. Always has, hence the original project name „DirectX Box“ ;)

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You can’t run a Windows executable on an Xbox as things stand. That’s the difference that a lot of us are expecting to go away.

sparky,

You can run UWP executables! If you publish to the MS store, distribution on Xbox is automatic unless you opt-out. But you’re right that you can’t run an arbitrary exe.

MyOpinion, do games w Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty

Does the Xbox even have any use case these days? PC mini?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

If it is a PC like many of us expect, then its use case is that they want to outdo the SteamOS experience and also provide compatibility with games that rely on kernel-level anti cheat.

CidVicious,
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

Perhaps for people who want gamepass but don’t want to deal with PC gaming. But I can’t really think of anyone I’d recommend buying an Xbox to currently. Really the last place platform this generation, by a lot.

I’m just excited to see what name they are gonna officially pick for the new ‘Xbox 720 Series XS SSX Tricky Triple-X’

They might just stick with Xbox Prime.

Xbox 2, to compete with Switch 2

Peffse,

I wouldn’t put it past them to just name it “Xbox” and try to play it off like a movie reboot.

guiguinofake,

Googling stuff for the OG Xbox would get so much harder

Peffse,

Just you wait for the mid-cycle “Xbox X”, making it’s debut in 2030!

EvilBit,

I would like to see them go back to just plain old numbering and call this one the Xbox 363.

Chainweasel,

Xbox One X 360

SolarPunker,

Xbox 6 (just to feel superior)

The extra 20 minutes telling you to buy shit and like and subscribe is necessary I hear.

Jeeeez! What’s the ground slam attack he was using st the end? That was doing a ton of damage.

style99,

No idea. I just love all the sequence-breaking going on in that video. I lost count of the times the guy quickly quits and resumes the game, just so he can make a long trek out-of-bounds.

Rai,

HOERS

Here I am at 2 months of attempting Shadow of the Erdtree final boss. I do it once or twice per week now, got incredibly close dozens of times (past meteor). Refusing to switch my weird ass incantations based build. Bayle was a complete pushover compared to this guy.

Our shareholders can’t buy another private jet to pollute the environment, so fuck off. Jake, you can stay though. You’ve been promoted to hold every job with a 5% raise.

And people will keep buying their games 🤷

mindyabeesnes,

Pfft a 5% raise for doubling responsibilities sounds generous.

In a statement shared with GameSpot, Humble Games confirmed that Humble Bundle will have "no impact on its operations. Additionally, ongoing and upcoming games from Humble Games will still move ahead and be published by the company.

“Yeah, we just laid everyone off, but it’s business as usual, nothing will change for the consumer.”

Templa,

Humble Games is the publisher, Humble Bundle is another thing

I swear gamers have the memory of a gnat. How many times has Bethesda pulled shit like this and people continue to support them? no one remembers the Horse armor all the way back in Oblivion? no one remembers the Skyrim paid mods in 2015? hell can’t even remember the SKYRIM PAID MODS IN DEC OF 2023!

This isn’t an outrage and no one should be upset AT Bethesda over this, but disappointed and upset with yourselves for yet again falling for their constant desire to nickel and dime their playerbase.

A_Random_Idiot,

You have to understand.

The overwhelming bulk of gamers just don’t care

Nothing will stand in the way of getting their current precious. Not even their own complaints and bitching.

They’ll sit there and complain about how a company is evil, its practices exploitative, and how everyone should avoid buying from them so they can die in the fires of Bankruptcy.

Then the second the next game/expansion/DLC/Whatever is announced, they are immediately in line to preorder the ultra deluxe mega fuck you 500 dollar package. because it comes with a unique mount and a special armor skin, and they just cant miss those things! they’re rare! and they’ll never be able to get them otherwise! /s

And then they’ll go into the obfuscated-cash-shop and spend another 700 dollars on digital bullshit.

Then, when they are all done, the overwhelming majority of them will come back to the internet, and cry and whinge and moan about how a company is evil, its practices exploitative, and how everyone should avoid buying from them so they can finally die in the fires of bankruptcy.

Cause the majority of gamers are brain damaged fucktards who, at the end of the day, just love throwing their wallet at things.

jjjalljs,

I mean this is kind of true of all people everywhere. The marshmallow test has flaws but I think it’s still revealing. A lot of people are really bad at self control and delayed gratification.

It’s more a “sucker born every minute” thing.

atrielienz,

Don’t know. Don’t play a whole lot of Bethesda games. Didn’t play Oblivion. New gamers join the ranks every day. Not everyone has been gaming since the 80’s.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Well most modern gamers are probably like 14 years old and probably never even played Skyrim. So I’m not surprised young kids are buying this creation kit garbage with Mommy’s credit card.

This is what happens everywhere: they’ll just keep chancing it until such a time as it’s acceptable.
