Steam machine it is then.
Yep, A shittier steam machine. I wonder who would buy this after seeing MS abandoning their XBox brand. Also I bet it’s going to be full with GenAI garbage.
Now the devs can just give you a prompt and the AI box can just hallucinate a game for you
Okay, so microslop’s next console is …a PC…right? Hope it comes with office.
Its going to come with Winslop 12 and you gotta pay $20/m or the power button wont work.
Oh crap…okay, I guess I’ll pay…AI said so. LOL
oh boy, so you can be prevented from freely modding your pc games too?
Running what, Windows? 🤣
Always has been :) they’ve all used a modified windows kernel starting with NT on the OG and the latest are up to win11 now
That explains so much…
Sounds like they said it backwards. Didn’t they mean, it’s a PC that will play your Xbox games?
Personally I hope no one buys this “console”. There’s been way too many rumors and general discussions that this will be the “last Xbox” and Microsoft has already lost the “first party” game front.
There is zero reason to buy Xbox at this point. Game Pass is stupidly expensive(and you can’t even buy Gold separately anymore). This new “console” is supposed to be stupidly expensive as well.
I would hope this would force people to just switch to PC, but the hard heads will buy Xbox and the noobs will buy PlayStation.
I loved my original Xbox and the 360, but Microsoft has been on a steep decline since. The writing’s been on the wall for a long time.
Gold is just Game Pass Essential now right?
If they try to integrate Copilot and Ai features into the console, on top of trying to use Windows 11 under the hood… oh boy.
I mean…yeah? wasn’t that their whole thing? they want games to play themselves to open a whole new market for “interactive film”.
More indicators they want to lock you into their walled gardens and stop dealing with normal PCs, they want to push everything into subscription based cloud services.
A portable Xbox. I’ve been saying that since the first Xbox. That would have dominated the market.
I imagine it’s a desktop variant of the handhelds with that Xbox desktop environment, but with ability to play Xbox games
