Xbox |OT|

Haven’t posted here in a while

I am a little sad and disappointed by the current state of Xbox and I think I am probably just going to migrate off the platform permanently and move to PC full time now.

I think internally at Microsoft a decision has already been made to pull the plug on the console, and there won’t be a 10th gen console from Xbox when that rolls around. It seems clear to me the slim refreshes have already been cancelled, and so has the controller revision. They have also completely given up on exclusivity of any kind and seem to be waiving the white flag in all markets now.

It’s over. The Series X|S will be the last console Microsoft produces, and I also think that given the console market has been stagnant or declining for 3 generations in a row now there probably won’t be a third manufacturer in the console space ever again. MS will just be a big third party publisher.

This will probably serve as a good lesson going forward: all things end. Nintendo and PlayStation will also end too, we don’t know when, but it is unavoidable and inevitable. Always enjoy what you have while you have it, you never know when it will be gone.

I had so many good memories with the original Xbox and the Xbox 360, I am thankful I got to experience those as a child.
