If Nintendo had its way, the Switch wouldn’t have had as much memory inside, and you might’ve had a very different gaming experience than the one you have today. Thanks to a push from Capcom and other developers, though, that’s not the case.
If you read Kotaku even semi-regularly, you already know that Xbox has been in a weird spot for some time now. And with today’s news that both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and President Sarah Bond are leaving and the new head of the brand will be a former Meta exec who previously lead Microsoft’s AI division, I think it’s time to call it. Xbox is dead. Time of death: February 20, 2026
While I normally agree... The future of xbox is on shaky ground. Well, xbox as we know it. Im not sure what they are shooting for but who they put in charge mixed with Phil retiring and bond just flat out leaving. It's not looking good.
Im with you but in western countries I have noticed a trend to put women in control to prevent any kind of critics.
Oh come on, Xbox has been dead for at least 10 years now. I think what’s more important right now is Playstation’s death that is very slowly but surely happening through mismanagement and greed.
He's being clowned on by the entire internet but i have been clowning on him way before he became CEO. I hate modern PS so much man. To this day i have no idea how Astro Bot happend in this terrible PS era but that was clearly a miracle.
Respectfully, This is probably one of my least favorite tactics in making an argument.
I'll give you an example: If I like the color red, it doesn't mean I hate the color blue.
People lamenting the (potential) demise of the xbox brand has nothing to do with sony or playstation. It has everything to do with xbox. Now, for the sake of argument, you could say that Sony and Microsoft are two peas in a pod, and that they've both made absolutely baffling and worryingly stupid decisions in the recent past. But I truly believe that Xbox would be shooting itself in the foot regardless of Sony's presence (I look at you, Xbox One reveal with always online DRM and the inability to share games).
Sony, on the other hand, is making stupid decisions to stay competitive with the market, and like Microsoft, is seemingly forcing by proverbial gunpoint talented developers to try to make the next GAAS experience and never learning their lesson. I believe that Microsoft squandering RARE is the equivalent of Sony squandering Naughty Dog. Neither platform really knows what they want to be, BUT Sony is alot further along in figuring it out before Microsoft pulls out another revolver and takes aim at another of it's own toes.
Xbox died after the Xbox 360. The Xbox One was mediocre, the Series X was game shy. I'm glad Phil is retiring.
This is why the views and comments are low, with lame articles that use divide-and-conquer pretensions.

“Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years“
^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.
I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.
Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.
An analyst look at the video game industry outlook 2026, covering hardware uncertainty, subscriptions, discoverability, and GTA 6’s impact.
So many games huge backlogs now it's about buy few games per year. So far in 2026 I haven't bought anything and my goal is to not buy any games this year. Finish 250 games in the backlog. Already finished bunch of smaller title
Games come out needing many months of patching so it's just wait and see and I'd game turns out good buy it for cheap with all the dlc
sort of like when epic told MS they needed to have 512mb in the 360. though if Capcom wanted switch to have 4gb then does that mean they are working on a RE game for switch???
Nintendo being Nintendo.
and they did listen? what went wrong here? was nintendo's arrogance-meter out of order or what? would have loved to see an even more underpowered gadget failing.
Sad that it took Capcom's persuasion to convince Nintendo to up the Switch to a "whopping" 4GB of RAM. SMDH.
Good news for us switch owners, hopefully capcom are on board in a big way now that request happened.
