I don’t really trust it, to be honest. I have had an xbox from the original to the series X. But for the past 5 or 6 years, they have been extremely radio silent on a future for the brand. They focused completely on gamepass and nothing else. They shut down so many studios. It just feels like its a gamble
They have proven over and over that consumer brands aren’t anything to them. They constantly chase flashy buzzwords and quarterly earnings over improving and fixing their longstanding issues
Agreed. I forgot to mention too that with windows 11 microslop has been prioritizing imaginary gain rather than genuine human work. The whole company feels like it’s a mess, and a drastic shift has occurred. Even compared to a decade ago, it’s drastic. 10 years ago, I thought they were iffy on some of their choices, but they seemed to want to fix windows 10 and the Xbox brand. But it’s only gotten worse now it seems lol
I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360 and Jesus fuck I’m glad I never continued with them. They really just need to get out of the console market at this point, good lord.
Really, a high end Xbox? Who in the sweet hell asked for that?
Is this all some convoluted plan to increase the demand for regular PC’s? After everyone flocks to them once realizing it will be legitimately cheaper and an overall smarter option to get one over the “Xbox OneTwoThree Series XXX Tricky 720 Noseblunt” or whatever the fuck it’s gonna be called?
I have exactly one reason why I own an Xbox One S: Gamestop went out of business in Germany at the exact moment I made plans to buy a cheap 4k BluRay player for my bedroom TV and they sold me one (used) for 60€.
I remember before covid, i thought about buying a xbox, as a cheap media center to play some games maybe. I haven’t had a console since the 360 and didn’t keep up at all. So the new xbox launched and i went to get an older cheaper one. I was absolutely stunned, and felt like the grandma who has to buy his son a nintendo playstation for christmas. I had no idea what’s what, the naming conventions are fucking insane. I didn’t buy one and i’m so glad i didn’t
Yeah I hate their naming conventions with a passion. This article made me go on a 15 minute rant to my gf about how stupid they are.
And now you can’t forget their new system to fuck around with names on. The godforsaken “ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X.” Fucking christ, these names.
might be filled with AI instead.
I’m sticking with my Switch 2 honestly. I just don’t care about next gen, especially given the rumors.
:yawn:
