I didn't know that. It led an amazing life, what else can you say? It was an amazing console, whether you agree or not. It was an amazing console that had an amazing life.
Looking at all the Youtube thumbnails in my feed in the past 24 hours, Xbox died somehow. RIP John Halo and Mark Fenix
Vaxxed?
Looking into it
There's a rumor that Halo is coming to the Playstation, which was Xbox's biggest exclusive for a really long time.
Personally, I think Xbox has been dead ever since Microsoft started releasing every game on Windows and Xbox at the same time, which kinda eliminates the point of having a console.
I feel like Microsoft's games especially their exclusives being terrible has had a lot to do with it. Like if you look at Sony and Nintendo, their exclusive game libraries are full of hits. Nintendo has a sort of niche with their IPs and their handheld games to such an extent that Switch still continues to sell very well. Sony has had some very popular exclusives like Last of Us, God of War, Bloodborne, Spider-man, Final Fantasy 7 remakes, etc. A genre that should have been generic---OFFLINE AAA single player games---have somehow become something Sony delivers especially well on.
Meanwhile Microsoft's stuff have been awful. Their latest exclusives were Redfall and Starfield, both shit games. I don't even remember what they were doing before. Microsoft have fully stratified themselves as rent seeking parasites because of which they are not able to look past producing shit live service games and throwing money at their problems.
I feel if they made actually decent games, which they absolutely could with the money and resources at hand, their hardware would sell better even if the games were released on PC and Steam. But Microsoft are gonna live and die by terrible games.

They are generic. A good chunk of Sony releases is just versions of Assassin's Creed. Most just don't care, they eat the slop anyway.
Which ones are you talking about? I think Spider-man is somewhat assassin's creed like but I can't think of anything else.
Horizon is even closer to the formula with the "find towers (longnecks) to reveal more icons on the map, then do more boring fetch quests for other boring characters with your boring character" thing.
That is true.
I saw Starfield and the Indiana Jones game mentioned specifically, but it does look like the idea is that Microsoft is maybe becoming more of a third party publisher. Considering they've bought like half of the industry that sounds fair

More like it became super duper dead when they started releasing games on Steam at the same time. Also, this is a 100% positive development and Nintendo and Sony should follow suit 
spoiler
though Sony already releases stuff on PC, and every Nintendo game is playable on PC
I hope they never make a Switch 2 lmao
I genuinely don't see the point of having a .ore powerful console. It's fine
Did they get the semen in time??
It would be so funny if they killed consoles.
Well, the Xbone reveal was a good first attempt
The Xbox must converge into Windows. Make it like a 10ft HTPC/Gaming UI that you can go into or exit smoothly, so that all Xboxes are also PCs and all PCs are also Xboxes.

Unironically as someone with a living room PC and a desire to play old Xbox games like Fable 3 and Conker, I have been waiting for this to happen for a really long time.
Also if you aren't going to let me play my Steam games on Xbox, at least let me stream them from my main PC.
Didn't Fable 3 have a short-lived PC port? That might still be kicking around somewhere.
Also you might be able to play the Conker remake on Xemu
Ah you're right, I meant Fable 2
the tldr of it all is that gamestop (i believe) leaked an ad that mentioned "microsoft game pass" and not "xbox game pass" leading people to speculate, especially paired with previous rumors of MS bringing game pass to playstation and other consoles. The rumors are building into "MS is done with xbox, no more consoles from them".
the more likely reality is that they just want playstation owners to buy their subscription.
If true will they release Lost Odyssey for PC?
I mean not a single Xbox model managed to outsell their main competitor in PlayStation. Even the PS3 beat the Xbox 360 in sales by the end of the console generation, and those sales in the second half of the generation are the most profitable. Consoles start selling at a loss or break even point, and only become profitable later on with later "slim" iterations.
This model would be sustainable if they cornered the US market like Apple did with the iPhone, and gave up on the more global market to PlayStation, but Xbox can't even get a foothold in the US.
Even the PS3 beat the Xbox 360 in sales by the end of the console generation
That came as a surprise to me, probably because I was mostly checked out of following the console wars by the end of seventh gen and the PS3 was kind of a laughing stock for the early stretch of it
It caught up in the long run
