With the gloomy forecast of AI, I suspect the appropriate question isn't whether or not a company will come in to fill Xbox's void but rather, how long will the console industry survive? Because unless you don't mind the idea of playing a computer's version of a game, the whole thing is on the edge of collapse. Even Nintendo, which have long been the gate-keepers of what is most sacred in this industry, won't be immune. When you can ask a machine to build your next game and it can do so in five minutes with only a month of human oversight to get it ready to ship? They're going to jump on board.
Personally, I'm already been preparing for the wake.
