Satya Nadela will put an end to the next Xbox hw, he doesn’t see the point. He is fine releasing sw on the ps5 and pc, mobiles. He doesn’t make any money on hw. It’s time to let it die like zune, windows phones and HDDVD.

I dont doubt it, but I’m uninterested until its real.

Maybe by launching halo mcc on ps5, ms will give a shit about it again.
 
is there a list of why certain people are which tiers? MLiD seems better than a 4 and jez is a 2?
It's based on community votes. Anyone can vote, you just have to full out a Google form. So it's not fully reliable although it is generally accurate. MLiD had a ton of fake leaks, jez on the other hand is accurate when it comes to windowscentral articles but absolutely crap when it comes to podcasts or tweets.

Good point. I can see that if someone is moving to PlayStation. If they are moving to PC (or whatever the next Xbox is) I am sure they will carry over.

You're betting on Microsoft nailing some level of virtualization compared to what will be near-guaranteed enhanced games on PS6.

Not to mention the fact that you're still going to pay a premium to play on PC in the future.

If the main games come out on the PS5 (and they will, this leak seems real) that's the end. There was a console called Neo geo CD that had the brilliant idea of releasing its games days later on other competitors at the time and what happened was the end of the company as a console manufacturer.

Since 2013, Microsoft has been betting on dozens of ideas based on failed ideas on old consoles. It's as if they said with us it will be different but it's a serious mistake.

I think some ideas are good but we hear about them too early and the execution is always terrible and they’re just too slow so competitors are often ahead in the end.

Prediction 1: Valve will release a living room focused Steam machine serie or have preinstalled Steam OS on prebuild PCs _before_ MS release a Xbox-PC hybrid with a new OS with Steam access.
 
The lead up to Halo Infinite and Starfield had me hovering over the Checkout button a few times on a Series X, but after seeing launch reviews and gameplay the money ended up going on a PSVR2 for GT7.
Neither game looked bad or anything, but they didn’t give me the “I need this now” feeling to justify a new £500 box and monthly subscription for online.

None of the games in this rumour were enough to get me to buy a Series X either, but if they’re coming to PS5—and especially if they’re getting PS5 Pro versions—I’m 100% interested and will definitely buy some.

And I suppose ultimately that’s the point. At the moment Xbox is getting nothing from me, but if they’re bringing their games to where I’m already at, I’ll be absolutely sending money their way.

It’s a kind of win-win. Xbox increases revenue, developer gets to share their art with a wider audience, and I get to play some new things without needing to make a big investment.

For what it’s worth, I thought PlayStation games going to Steam was a great idea, and wouldn’t care a bit if they also now ended up on Xbox.
Obviously there’s less incentive for PlayStation to do it due to the market size differences, but for Xbox it just makes good sense for everyone.

And if I ended up falling in love with an Xbox IP and a new one came out only on the next Xbox, I’d be far more inclined to add one to my setup.

If you’re going to completely abandon Xbox then please be fair to your customers and give some advance warning.
Some people are expecting an abrupt death of Xbox hardware, but I think MS will make it slow and painful.

If you are an Xbox user, you don't need to sell your Xbox, but if you like consoles, in the medium to long term I would recommend you migrate to PlayStation hardware. I would also avoid investing too much in the Xbox ecosystem and keep it only as a "GamePass machine", or to play backwards compatible games that don't have a version on PlayStation or that run better because of the FPS Boost program of the last generation.

Or you can migrate to PC and no longer have to worry about the traditional console market... Switch + PC is an excellent combo.

I believe we are ending cycle and another will begin. It's impossible to port games to a competitor and continue to exist as a competitor.
Don't doubt it, rumors will begin to emerge about possible companies to replace the Xbox, the PS5 cannot be left without a competitor to share third-party games with it.

Their actions are giving me all the warning I needed. Sold my Series X three months ago and just picked up a cheap used Ps5 slim a few weeks ago. I can either play Xbox games on the Ps5 or my Legion Go.

I don't think they will bet so hard and with so many IPs, it's bad press for Xbox. My bet is that they will wait for the sales of the next titles they have in the kitchen, it will depend on the success of Stalker 2 only on Xbox and the sales of Indiana Jones on PS5 vs Xbox, to decide if they bet on fire to release their blockbuster on PS5.

By the time they decide, making ports will be really simple and fast.

It just hit me that the best console versions for Xbox games will be playable on a Playstation console.

Imagine saying this just 5 years ago. Hell even 2.



Same here but honestly Xbox barely moves MS's stock. Unless it's something huge like the Activision acquisition.
There is a new Xbox coming and I’m sure they will take advantage of the new Xbox specs. It’s always leapfrog

Middleagegamegy is a Tier 6 - Generally Unproven Source as determined by the community.​

This is a note from Reddits Auto-moderator under this post. Tier 6 is the lowest, obvious click bait from YouTube channel with less than 1k subscribers - lots of salt needed.

But it is funny how to see PS gamers saying day 1 for games that they claim doesn’t exist (Xbox has no games used quite often) and that MS games are crap. Interesting indeed.

Everything is coming full circle.

The best version of playstation games will be playable on the NextBox when it's released with steam compatibility.

That's probably another reason why Sony is gearing up it's own store in addition to the whole revenue take.

A Steam compatible “Xbox” is a PC

If Microsoft allow Steam compatibility then expect it to cost the same as any other OEM PC

There’s no way Microsoft could subsidise that.

Who?

Let's see how this plays out. We know what people feel like about fomo and waiting on here.

If it's two years or even one year for big triple A none gaas titles and they score 90 plus in the pointless metacritic reviews I don't think people will be able to wait.

You’d have to be a bit of a daftie to believe this.

Quite likely there could be eventual ports to other consoles. But nobody’s going to be actively working on PS5 development of far out games like the next Halo or Gears E-day when they haven’t landed development on the base console yet.
