Yes soon if it's coming in 2025 or 2026 game development should be happening now.Soon?!
Bro, take a chill pill. You're hearing voices in your head
There's no indication of a next Xbox, let alone a handheld.
Take your pills, man.
The rumour is that it will be a PC running Windows. Nothing special will be required.
I don't buy that if they expect it to sell any units at all. It needs a sleek, Steam OS type of interface.The rumour is that it will be a PC running Windows. Nothing special will be required.

A PC hybrid that has full compatibility with Series content, including X360 BC, would be great imo. Just a handheld probably not too high for me.
I guess that you're new into this... But let me tell some stuffYes soon if it's coming in 2025 or 2026 game development should be happening now.
I believe the goal is more about creating a smooth transition from console to PC. The lure will be the branding and Xbox BC App.I don't buy that if they expect it to sell any units at all. It needs a sleek, Steam OS type of interface.
If true Microsoft hasn't learnt a thing.Yes soon if it's coming in 2025 or 2026 game development should be happening now.
Possibly all true but people have been saying they were dead for years nowIf true Microsoft hasn't learnt a thing.
It'll struggle to make an impact against the PS5 and the Switch 2 will outsell it.
After 2 poor years in the market the PS6 will be the final nail.
They are both pathological liars and/or don't know what's going on with Xbox. Sarah seems to be so out of touch she said 34 million GP subscribers would be able to enjoy Diablo IV and someone had to rectify it (of course not revealing the actual amount). Pili had the gall to tell everyone no more games were headed to PS5 only to reveal Indy for Sony's system a few months later. He's known as Philnocchio for plenty of reasons.Sarah & Pill already said the devices are coming

The creation of a game preservation and BC team ad hoc would not be announced if said BC were only planned via xcloud.You'll be lucky.
There's a reason they are going to start allowing you to play your digital libraries via Xcloud.

Sadly for them if it's only xbox fans that won't be enough, I also think an early launch may make a few XSX adopters feel a bit burned. When they were technically "the most powerful place to play" they hardly released anything and an "inferior" machine often had the better performing version of 3rd party games. Not a great look for a machine that had a premium price tag at launch.Possibly all true but people have been saying they were dead for years now
We simply don't know what they consider acceptable sales figures at this point
I applaud them for trying something different and not launching their next gen product in the same window as the PS6 and just get stomped
Personally if Xbox can align this next gen machine anywhere close to GTA 6 launch window I am all in, I want the best place to play it
If they don't I will pass on this machine but I still know a lot of Xbox people who will buy it

Because it will be a PC with a sticker, even less in-house than Surface. You don't fire Xbox Hardware Design team to make anything meaningful in console space. Let alone you don't close ambassador program, shrink hardware retail network and remove all signs of platforms from your recent announcements like Blade.I believe this is all that has been said:
'We are moving full speed ahead on our next generation hardware, focused on delivering the biggest technological leap ever in a generation."

Should be noted that they have been very consistent in avoiding the use of the word "console".

Yeah, that's not happening. The ""backwards compatibility"" will be the PC versions of those Play Anywhere Xbox One/Series games you bought digitally.You'll be lucky.

Obviously, but does MSFT even care at this point? The next Xbox not being an actual console is the first red flag, really.That's not going to address games for 360 and before though. Or the ton of non-Play Anywhere games that were purchased digitally on Xbox One/Series

Not likely. One of Xbox's biggest strengths as a platform is its APIs, which date all the way back to the name - Direct X Box. The benefit of this PC-in-console-land approach is clear when we look at Microsoft's emulation and BC efforts. Their work to leverage their legacy APIs provides little incentive to ditch the entire Xbox platform. Instead, their PC-Console hybrid is likely to implement a "gaming mode" / "Desktop mode" similar to the Steam Deck - where there's a clear performance difference - where the system can literally run Xbox versions of older titles. Now, without a shift back to NVidia hardware or an expensive licensing deal I doubt we see full system wide OG Xbox and Xbox 360 emulation, but their current BC efforts making the cut? No problem. The idea that they can't support that doesn't really make sense. The only question mark I see is in how this is implemented at a company level. Microsoft is back in control of Xbox - for better and for worse - so this means the Windows OS team have input here. So, does Xbox's new hybrid devices still get their own customised OS unable in PC land, maybe running Windows in a dual boot? Or, are they just running pure Windows? Or, do we get a Windows Update adding a dedicated "Gaming Mode" to the OS itself, meaning Desktop Windows Machines around the world would become capable of running "Gaming Mode" and thus playing OG Xbox games off the disc? Can't wait to find out.Yeah, that's not happening. The ""backwards compatibility"" will be the PC versions of those Play Anywhere Xbox One/Series games you bought digitally.
