Xbox is getting so fucked by the ram shortage their parent company helped engineer. It's karma, bitches.
Yes but no. Gaming is a small percentage of Microsoft's profit
Where's the no? Is the Xbox segment, regardless of the overall impact they have on the company profit, not getting fucked over by the massive push towards AI that the rest of the company is diving directly into? I really don't see a contradiction you're implying.
well it’s been dying for a while and it’s about to be deader
“Gaming is too expensive” - Microsoft
“AI is the future; we’re spending hundreds of billions on it” - Also Microsoft
I wonder if Microsoft thinks this will get people to buy consoles before the price goes up, or whether every single person who ever wanted this generation of Xbox already has one.
