Time will tell :) But I think those games will generate some good revenues over there! :D

Series X Digital.

Xbox Handheld in 2026.

Suped Up Xbox - Whenever.

You're all wrong for liking this, Lmao.

I've had many hours worth of debates with Machia.

Sometimes he's right though

WHEN HE'S NOT DEBATING ME

I liked it. Based Pixel.

He said that plans had changed since those slides were made like 2 years ago, or something like that. Also the AMD leaker back in September, the one who first teased next-gen Xbox for 2026 before the other insiders more recently started teasing 2026, said that he could find no evidence of the Series X 6 nm die Shrink chipset from the leaked slide being made by AMD. So I'm somewhat skeptical that project Brooklyn is what Phil was teasing for Holiday 2024 here. It could be that, but it could also be something else entirely like a simple 2 TB Series X model.

For GAAS, it's simple.

Sea of Thieves and Grounded have been big successes, yes, but they've been exclusive to Xbox for years, the Xbox hardware has a relatively low ceiling, Game Pass likely has a strong attach rate for Xbox, I bet most who are interested in Sea of Thieves in the Xbox ecosystem have already played it. It will one day reach a saturation point locked to one piece of hardware.

The biggest GAAS in the industry are on everything, Fortnite, Call of Duty, GTA V, Minecraft, Roblox, etc.

At some point, a years old game will hit a ceiling on the players it can reach, and then the question becomes simple, do you expand its reach to more players by porting it elsewhere, which can lead to further investment and a large injection of players or do you shut it down and move on, the answer is simple if you care about the IP and want to continue to see it thrive with an active community.

That's not to say Sea of Thieves is on deaths doors, it still has a very active community, but it could be a lot better, a lot bigger, if it doesn't restrict itself, it has almost certainly used up most of its console selling power without doing a Sea of Thieves 2, it is 6 years old, so you're keeping it exclusive to Xbox for nothing while porting it everywhere COULD help elevate it into the next big GAAS.

It's already 30m between Xbox/PC.

At some point, it becomes dumb to keep GAAS exclusive to a single platform.

Bungie knows that, why Marathon is fully multiplatform

"All of our games will go into Game Pass on day one."

Also that is a pretty definitive statement that CoD WILL be Game Pass on day one.

Another rumour down.

MEMO: As you all know. Over the past week I have thrown multiple tantrums regarding the future of Xbox. I put all my games away, my console away, cancelled game pass, cancelled pre orders, was very toxic to xbox leadership in Palworld to @ice, and wishlisted brand new PS games.

In light of new changes from head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty: I have made the decision to STAY with Xbox. I will however, continue to also play the best series on Playstation alongside Xbox. Such as fan favorites Persona, and Yakuza.

All pre orders have been restored on Xbox, as well as wishlisted Amazon games. Game pass has been renewed.

New interest in a handheld brings excitement to the Xbox platform. When everyone plays, we all win.

I hope all your games mysteriously disappear from your home.

Yeah, it would 100% be because of some ML nonsense that will make them sound like a crazy Twitter tech bro.

2026 will get you vanilla N2 if you're lucky, which should avail RX 7900 levels of performance at best within a reasonable console BoM. Hardly a generational leap when you look at it like this.
