Honestly it will probably just be an xbox branded PC. Or add partners with existing companies.
If they cancel the whole project, guaranteed there are provisions that pay AMD something big for their work and loss of expected income; AMD isn't designing a chip expected to bring in multi-year revenue for a promise. But for MS with like 12% market share at this point and no real plan to win any back, nor willing to spend money other than GAMEPASS!! trying to do so, whatever the penalties are in the contract are worth it rather than built hardware no one is going to buy. That's why they are raising prices on everything: Each sale is something that is never going to come again. They aren't making any more, they aren't growing, so why not make as much as they can from the people who haven't left yet?
This is one of the worst marketing moves I’ve ever heard of. It’s worse than the XSX releasing simultaneously with the XSS and requiring all software released to be optimized for both. It’s very apparent the XSS held back the XSX. Gamepass is holding back Xbox as a whole.
not really, with my old eyes it never looked appealing, but with tv out could be something.
You may need glasses? I didn’t need glasses until I was maybe 30, and my prescription is very subtle but it’s a big impact on looking at digital screens or small book font for me.
The Steam deck feels like a Switch compared to Legion/Ally like devices, just a much more affordable and balanced approach in comparison with a proper gaming platform feel. I guess Microsoft is trying to make them feel more like the Steam Deck with their Xbox handheld OS but these devices tend to still just be big, complex, and expensive by comparison.
The Legion Go is a pain in the ass to travel with. The carrying case is MASSIVE. You have to bring an external battery if you want the device to last more than 1 hour. I timed it last night, even at a lower wattage, and I got about 50 minutes through Helldivers on low settings, upscaling, 1200p, before the battery died from 100% to dead. D-E-D dead.
Xbox updated the XB PC app and it’s fucking unusable right now. My library is almost all games that I own on Xbox but are not playable on pc unless you buy them again but there’s not an option to filter by games that are only playable on pc so you have to click on each one to see what you own on Xbox and what is also playable on oc.
Those were some AMAZING memories of getting my Xbox 360; I wasn't much of a console guy AT ALL. I was way late to the party, in June 2007 I was switching jobs and had a couple of weeks off, it was my birthday, summer just starting. They delivered that big white box, firing up the 360 with XBOX live arcade and Crackdown and really, really enjoying myself. I had gotten an original Xbox but didn't really "get it" and we had played Halo on PC but after the first couple of days I was fully into what the console experience could be.
Yeah same. I am completely done with Xbox from a services and future perspective, but I am still going to hold on to my old Xbox consoles because I bought a ton of games on Xbox and the backwards compatibility has been the best on offer these past two gens.

with my PS5 Pro being my only home console I will really be buying new games for anymore, and being over subscriptions as well. At $80 their PS+ Essential just isn't worth it for me. Some of the monthly games can seem like good offerings but looking at the games I have installed, hardly anything is from PS+ anymore, and the games I download from there feel more like curiosities I quickly move on from than anything. I tried out the Platinum originally, didn't get enough out of it, then they raised their prices, I went with Essential, and I just don't really play anything that seems to need it, online multiplayer just isn't my thing anymore. To top it off I have come to hate these subscriptions, how they keep getting more expensive, charging me for some basic features that should be free, and any game that requires one is not a game I will want to buy or support.
