This killed Xbox:
Everything after that is just it's extremely slow and dragged out death.
I mean when everything is a PC / Steam box we're just choosing the form factor. Console gaming going full PC like Xbox is not console gaming anymore to me, it's 3rd party stuff. If Xbox is just software now, ok let's be clear and not say that a new hardware/console generation is coming as if everything still the same.Why continue with console gaming? What has changed? You have been able to play PC games for decades (I have). You have been able to play portable PC games since laptops were invented (guilty). You have been able to play handheld PC games for years now (recent convert). You have been able to aggregate gaming libraries for years now on PC (I don't bother). Continue on consoles if you like console gaming for the same reason it has always been.
I play on consoles and PC. Nothing has changed for me other than how I might approach my next PC build and which OS I choose.
For the record your honor.
I advocate for people to make their own choices and choose what is best for them. I have always done that even when I was managing an EB Games/GameStop. One of the few rules I had in my store is that employees were not allowed to push their preference of consoles on a customer. Let the customer decide because they are the ones taking it home (with little chance of a refund). If someone wants to switch over to PC, go for it. It is fun. However, don't do it because it has become the new talking point. Social media warriors are not going to refund a purchase if someone is not happy with it.
Just for fun, I asked co-pilot is the ROG Ally X considered a gaming console or a handheld PC.
They've already done that. Several times. The future of their brand is having their games on every screen. And their hardware is not locked to any specific store. All your games in one place. That's it.They need to get out there and start communicating what the future of the brand is because its not a good looking for them right now.
Just look at Nintendo. They more than survived the Wii U generation.
You've got a point there. But they also survived the GC generation. IDK, man. Don't you think that MS has the money to survive the One? Specially when they wouldn't had Nadella on their neck asking where his 80 billions are.No they didn't
They survived the 3DS generation
You are drop naming 2 of the best selling systems of Nintendo. And then you bought the Wii U for whatever but, only you and like 13 million people more.Radical_3d Nintendo still has those 1st party titles that keep selling every generation and they get some 3rd party love here and there.
A game like The Last Story for the Wii or Astral Chain for the Switch personally makes me interested in buying their consoles.
I bought a Wii U mainly for XCX and Bayonetta 2 back then.![]()
Oh, c'mon! You're making his about equality? Really?Well, something happend..
I don't think anyone can deny that something has been rotting the innards at Xbox and MS..

You're right. Microsoft have certainly been making all the right movesOh, c'mon! You're making his about equality? Really?
I know Wii U didn't sell anything. The games weren't there also, no Metroid and even the new Zelda released so late that was cross gen.You are drop naming 2 of the best selling systems of Nintendo. And then you bought the Wii U for whatever but, only you and like 13 million people more.
So, a company that practically wrote the handbook to become third party with their decisions and in your post there is only examples of their DEI decisions (that other companies also do).You're right. Microsoft have certainly been making all the right moves
Wrap it up guys, Xbox won.
So most of that played zero part on the massive decline we've seen over the last few years in regards to gaming on Xbox or the decline of sales and crap games, ergo, pushing it third party..?So, a company that practically wrote the handbook to become third party with their decisions and in your post there is only examples of their DEI decisions (that other companies also do).

You bring back you memories.Xbox has been dead at NeoGAF for almost a decade
XBOX is kinda like AIDS in the 90s, you could stay alive if you threw money at it. So yeah, XBOX is the AIDS of gaming and you're gay if you own one.

The lethal blow was pushing crap games no one really wanted, or utter skinsuits of once great I.Ps.The lethal blow to Xbox (as consoles) came years ago when they announced that all new games would release on PC as well.
Another huge hit was the idea to acquire ABK. Suddenly the whole gaming side of business had to take cuts and start making profits.
I prepay to get it cheap, several years at a time, I think I'm at year 6 now so about $300 total, or about 5 full priced games.Sure it's great the gamer but is it good for the publisher and Microsoft?
Is it one of those services most people keep month to month or are people more savvy with this kinda thing are only use it in short bursts?
I've only just noticed the colour of the ribbon too..![]()
Brasseye, aids.Video isn't available in my territory, what is it?
