I wish these fucks could just answer 1 simple question without talking in riddles- I would LOVE to know if the Series games I purchase now are going to ALL be backwards compatible with their next console? Not just the play anywhere bullshit but every fucking game I have purchased and can play on my Series X console. Announce that and give me a 110% YES then I might be all in on the next Xbox (especially if it's a console/PC hybrid). Go the Ally X route and I'm out for good.

Growing up, they probably thought the Jaguar was more powerful than Saturn and PS1 because it had double the bits! You do the math!

I was told my air purifer is an xbox by their marketing and I can't wait to play Halo on it.

Unless they aggressively push a new gears, Forza or Halo game I think people won't care, Microsoft will go further with the handhelds and that makes sense, the Xbox is everywhere and anything approach, but I'm convinced you need text book UI, AAA games and 1vs100, party chat type moments.

Ok… STFU? Revealing a reveal. Bring more OG XBOX games to the system and put out more freakin games.
I read that as $2k+

Xbox- the leader in changing its mind every 3 years.
Seriously- at least Nintendo and Sony do what makes them successful. Xbox just seems to shake the magic 8 ball every 3 or so years and run with that.

I don't care what their next gen console / handheld / hybrid is, given how badly they've fumbled the brand, you'd be a fool to be an early adopter of their hardware ever again.

More talk, no show. Microsoft's specialty.Wake me up when they've got something worth showing and actually, y'know, show it.
MS need to get humble and learn some lessons from Valve, their superior.

Xbox wants to define "the future for where the Xbox ecosystem's going" as it celebrates its OG console's 25th anniversary in 2026: "We have a lot of exciting things to share"
Xbox also wants to celebrate its "great legacy"www.gamesradar.com
Xbox apparently has "a lot of exciting things" up its sleeve for the 25th anniversary of its original console next year, and will be both celebrating "the great legacy" of the past and "defining the future for where the Xbox ecosystem's going."
That's according to Jason Ronald, vice president of next generation at Xbox, who spoke to BBC News in a recent interview (below) following the release of the ROG Xbox Ally handheld. During the conversation, Ronald makes reference to the classic Xbox titles available to play via Xbox Game Pass, saying that the company feels a "responsibility" to preserve them.
"Great games are timeless," he begins. "And I think we not only feel a need, but also a responsibility to preserve the games from the past and enable them to be played in entirely new ways."
Asked if there are any plans to bring any more OG Xbox games to Game Pass going forward, Ronald says he "can't announce anything today," but teases some big things to come in the next year.
"In 2026, it's the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and we want to celebrate the great legacy and the history that we have with Xbox as well as defining the future for where the Xbox ecosystem's going," he continues. "So, I can't confirm or deny what you're asking, but stay tuned. We have a lot of exciting things to share next year."
Mysterious stuff. Xbox leads have been talking a fair bit about the future of the company and its hardware lately – Xbox president Sarah Bond teased back in October that "the next-gen console is gonna be a very premium, very high-end, curated experience. You're starting to see some of the thinking that we have in [the Xbox ROG Ally handheld], but I don't want to give it all away."
Whether Ronald could be referring to potential hardware reveals is another matter, though, especially since he was being asked about future Game Pass additions. "Defining the future" of the ecosystem and lots of "exciting things" certainly sound promising, though, so we'll have to wait and see what the company has up its sleeve.
Oh we know where it's going alright.
