I will say though, I'm going to be fair, I'm giving NateDrake a little credit.

He turned out to be reliable, from day one, he said that this wouldn't be a big deal, he said that people were overreacting, he said that Xbox would still have exclusives and that they aren't planning to make everything multiplatform. He only said Starfield would be multiplatform when XboxEra leaked it but then in fairness almost immediately backtracked on it and owned up that his source was weak and that Starfield is not coming to PS.

He also always maintained it was 4 titles and he leaked 3/4 of them, Lol.

So, Nate was overall good all things considered.

Reminder he also leaked Banjo as being in development

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.

Maybe then I could get off my 558.1 pound ass and improve my life.

Looking at what was announced, my thoughts:

Biggest hardware leap of any gaming generation ever is quite the tease. I'm skeptical that it will truly be the biggest leap in actual hardware though, if the leaks are right we are only looking at 6 years between Xbox Series X and next-gen Xbox, that is not enough time for a massive leap in actual hardware specs unless it is very expensive. I'd rather say that things like better dedicated raytracing cores that allow path tracing, and AI frame generation to nearly double framerates at the chosen graphics settings, will do the heavy lifting of making this next-gen Xbox seem like the biggest hardware leap yet.

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.

Yeah, 7900 XT tier but with better RT performance would be my guess. Supposedly it is RDNA 5, RDNA 3 RT performance is pretty poor, behind both Intel Arc and Nvidia GPU's in raytracing performance at the same pricing tier, but supposedly RDNA 4 and RDNA 5 will offer pretty big ray tracing improvements, so a mid level RDNA 5 GPU like the one that will go into the next gen Xbox most likely, one that roughly matches the high end RDNA 3 Radeon 7900 XT in rasterization, should outperform the 7900 XT in RT. So we should have path tracing as as a big leap forward in lighting, much more RAM allowing higher res textures, and AI frame generation on AMD's FSR, which testing shows offers about a 80-90% framerate improvement.

I'm dying at the reactions of Xbox fans elsewhere, lots of people admitting they overreacted and that the whole thing was blown out of proportion, Lmao.

There's also quite a bit of praise for Sarah Bond, lot of people saying she's a great speaker and can feel her commitment to hardware.

Also nice they specifically made note of the importance of cross-progression, cross-buy, protecting peoples libraries essentially.

Sarah says "all of the game from our incredible range of studios will always launch on game pass day one"
