"Nintendo games are like indies, and worth at most $19" 🤡
In the last few days we were surprised by the announcement of a new line of products, the open Xboxes. Pessimism and cautious curiosity have been the thermometer of the discussions, semantics aside, it's clear to us that it is a PC with an 'Xbox' logo and design. This approach is not new to us, Valve did it in 2014 and some problems are unavoidable, such as the subsidy issue that weakens the price x performance balance compared to a traditional console and the lack of exclusive games.
The true test of fire for the Xbox brand was done in 2016 with Microsoft simultaneously launching its games on the Xbox One and PC. The result was incredible. It was confirmed that this has little influence because there is an audience that at the end of the day likes to play on a console, they are console guys, they only play on consoles
Before I conclude, I need to say the real problem with this model: it doesn't take into account the observation cited above the Xbox division's strategists are relying on pillars of sand and salt. They believe that the fact that a person has an Xbox account will keep them in their product base, and this is a naive mistake. People are free, and it won't be that amazing Xbox 360 games that will keep them on the platform automatically.
Therefore, we can assure with some degree of confidence that the transfer of people who are currently Xbox consumers to other consoles will accelerate. I can't see audience, you know, those who want a PC will opt for a traditional PC, and those who want a traditional console will migrate to the PS6, Switch 2.
And you, do you believe that the next Xbox will accelerate the transfer of consumers to other consoles?
