I'm always excited to get new hardware, especially if Xbox Prime innovates by being a Steam console as well as an Xbox console, (or perhaps just a Steam console with back-compat with Xbox console games).
However, Microsoft simply offering a higher spec console, that doesn't have any exclusives not available on Xbox Series or PlayStation will not move the needle of sales marketshare in its favour. I suspect it will have the same impact as the Xbox Series did at launc...
At this rate, Xbox games will release FIRST as timed exclusive on PlayStation, before eventually coming to other platforms including Xbox console and Game Pass.

Then you would say 'PlayStation CEOS Don't See Consoles Disappearing Anytime Soon'
But this is referring to a single person so doesn't should be used.
Stats have revealed that gamers are tending to play the same games across generations most, like Fortnite, GTA Online, Minecraft etc and and single-player games are a risky investment because of their short shelf life. It's no wonder that Sony is chasing the golden goose that is a hit live service game. One breakout hit on the level of a Genshin Impact would be enough to cover the costs of all its failures and give PlayStation more of a chance of surviving when it moves to a post-console ...
‘Zero haters’! 🤣.
You need to understand that there are console extremists out there, adults, who really see the console war as a real war. If you don’t believe me, WATCH THIS reaction to Astro Bot winning game of the year: https://x.com/jamiesact/sta...
Phil Spencer’s and Aaron Greenberg’s reaction provokes them further.
I came to say the same thing. How long before people start calling him arrogant and the games media start running stories about a complaint from someone in his studio? BioWare bent the knee to them all, Larian has not.
I’m really delighted that Neil Druckman purposely created a lead who’s a non-binary girl-boss. Of course the chuds will complain, let them! The great thing about Naughty Dog is it has abandoned out of date heterosexual black and white male stereotypes. Hopefully the game, behind the main story, will be able to preach a message of inclusion and acceptance.

@MrGameAndWatch Concord was a failure- true. But @RiseNShine is absolutely right that it is premature to be declaring Marvel Rivals a success after just five days. Even if it had a high player count, that could just be from players eager to give it a try. XDefiant is being shut down and maybe that had good launch - but it’s the longer term player base that determines its success.
A Steam Deck home would be super-appealing to some. It would offer the choice of PC gaming built to a set level, so owners don't have to spend time mucking about with configurations.
It could be a fairly high spec, 4k 60fps, ray-tracing in most games. It could then have a shelf life of, say, six years. The price would be somewhat expensive but then fall. It effectively makes a console standard for PC gaming.
@porkChop on AI tools: "That isn't necessarily going to revolutionize how they play or look, and I didn't think that's what Shawn Layden is talking about."
You're right that isn't what Shawn Layden was talking about but I do believe AI will change games and what the players experience - AI will give games more FREEDOM. Or openness. Let me give you an example; at the moment in any non-procedurally generated game, such as an RPG or open world gam...
@darthv72 Yes, the technological advances we experience are iterative now. However, I suspect there is going to be one more revolution to come and it has to do with... game creation using AI tools.
Now, at this stage for many gamers AI is a dirty word, but there are some innovations to take note off; one is a tool that can take 2D images and turn them into an explorable 3D world. https://www.yout...
These are realistic near-term features: consistent 4k and 60fps, with extensive ray-tracing and photo realistic graphics and advanced character and world AI.
If you thing that the PS6/Switch 3/xCloud generation will be able to deliver all that you would in fact be wrong!
This game won't be out before 2030. TWENTY-THIRTY!

They will each think they are the main character- when really they’re just NPCs!

@BrettAwesome "fsfsnosex Does everyone get to ram it up your ass, or is it only the gaming industry you allow such privilege?"
Superb retort! 😙👌🏼
It makes sense, who wants to pay full price for games that talk down to you and prioritise ideological messaging over good old-fashioned gameplay?
“Shut up and take my money!”

@Mr_cheese I was illustrating my first point with some detail!
@Army_of_Darkness Thank you, and glad to hear it!
