About to beat off
With Linux on Steam deck running games so well, they're not in a good position to do something like that. They know they're losing ground.

So Magnus will run Steam games only? Will Xbox be selling Steam games then?
Magnus will not have games optimized for the fixed spec?

PS Plus Essential also offers perks beyond online MP play, such as monthly games.
And yeah, suggesting that Switch 2 will not be in the same generation as the PS6 is exactly the bullshit part.

Switch 2 charges but thankfully it's much cheaper.

Nope, at that point it becomes expensive like a PC

PS6 could be the only next-gen console charging for online multiplayer.
Next Xbox could be the only next-gen console that is a PC, not a console.
Switch 2 could be the only next-gen console that some people don't call it next gen.

Retarded headline is retarded.

I would assume the complication is that online multiplayer is included in Gamepass. Now if you don't reduce the price of Gamepass what do you tell your Gamepass customers? Just eat the cost because you subscribed to Gamepass?

Online paywall is how they make you pay the equivalent of a new console every generation.
Never again
But it's funny how Xbox not charging for multiplayer is described as a choice they've made and not by the fact they are giving up the console business and selling you a PC.

I think it's going to be a PC with Windows that will run Windows games an apps only (from the MS store, Steam, Epic, emulators...).
A Windows that by default will launch on boot the launcher of the MS PC game store in a Steam Big Picture like mode designed to be played on a tv or hanheld PC using a gamepad. You'll be able to launch from there your PC games bought elsewhere (like Steam or Epic Store). Regarding the Xbox games from the OG Xbox, 360 (not all, only those included in the BC of the Series X|S) and XBO that don't have a PC version in the MS PC store, will be there emulated in the same way Sony has PS1/PS2/PSP games on the PS4/PS5 stores or that Xbox already have them on Xbox Series X|S.
So no, there won't be games mades compiled only for it. It will just run normal PC Winows games because it will be a normal PC running Windows. Even if when sold by some manufacturers it will be shaped as a home console. Think a Microsoft version of the Steam machines.

I can see that FUD machine against PS6 really started early... but ignore that another big company (NIntendo) does the same thing just to criticize sony is beyond ridiculous.

I don't know why people struggle to understand this.
They need to stop looking at it from a console perspective.

Ok, so for the Xbox ecosystem, it will just be Xbox PC games according to you. So EA, Epic, Rockstar, Ubisoft publishers don't have games in Xbox PC store, does that mean Magnus won't be able to run games from those publishers? So you are saying no Madden 27, EA FC 27, FortNite on Magnus?
Now, do you have a source for the fact that the "improper" console will NOT have games optimized/compiled for that fixed spec hardware? Or is that simply your conjecture?

I said 'Magnus' is going to be just a PC running Windows, so will run Windows games. Like any PC running Windows, won't be limited to the ones of the MS store.
Like any other PC running Windows, will be able to run the PC games these publishers released for Windows in any PC store: Steam, Epic Store, EA Play, GoG, Xbox PC store, Ubisoft Connect so on.
Epic won't kill the PC version of Fornite, so will be playabele there. EA will continue releasing their sports games on PC, so will be playable there.
According to my theory, in the next gen the Xbox ecosystem will be limited to the Xbox PC app (+ its cloud gaming). This device won't be a console: will be a PC.
Like everything else in this thread it's just my personal theory out of my ass, just based on the several related announcements, hints or rumors. Even if I have many friends/former coworkers working in different MS owned studios, I have no insider info about their next gen plans.
But seeing the Xbox branded Asus Rog Ally and Meta Quest, MS allowing to include PC games bought in other stores in their Xbox PC app launcher, adding a Big-Picture like , Phil saying they'll make tweaks to Windows to adapt it to consolize PCs, Satya Nutella saying his stuff about multiplatform, MS replacing the Xbox branding for Microsoft Gaming in several places, the Xbox marketshare getting smaller and smaller every quarter and many other things make me think that.
