Today, Microsoft unleashed a torrent of news about Xbox One, tacitly revealing that it's learned plenty of lessons over the past six months. Its new console is experiencing success in the market, with over five million consoles shipped so far.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "
Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
Typical garbage coming from the fanboys at IGN.
The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 by over 2 million units in its very first year on the market while being 200 dollars more expensive.
The Xbox One is getting absolutely destroyed by the PS4 in worldwide sales. The PS4 is already over 8 million while the Xbox One is around 3.8 to 3.9 million.
Sony's first price cut was thanks to the bleeding edge and incredibly expensive Blu-Ray diodes dropping in price to manufacture.
Microsoft's first price cut...just wait for NPD on Thursday. It will be obvious why this desperation dumping of Kinect and slashing of the Xbox One's price is happening just six months after launch.
If you want fanboy logic you should check out GAF.. some truely delusional people over there.
There are a number of threads open over there and after the announcement, the fanboys were making comments that the XB1 will retake the lead next month in NA and all of Europe by July.. and then they start yakking on about just wait until the cloud is turned on and DX12 comes out..
It's kinda sad that there are people like this nowadays.. what MS did yesterday was good but they still have a long way to go. baby steps.
Well I may as well use my kinect as a doorstop. The support for it went from half-ass to full stop.
I just know both systems have their strengths, weaknesses, and games they're known for. I made the mistake of getting a 360 because I like more adventure games, with the 360 it had much more action/FPS games compared to the PS3.
This time around I'm def getting a PS4 because I know down the line it will have more game styles I like compared to the Xbox One
What they can't change is that XB1 was designed around a mandatory peripheral which they're now removing, and they sacrificed power in the name of that design. They won't be freeing up much in the way of system resources by dropping Kinect because they'll be selling it as an add on, and also that would really rub the early adopters the wrong way. Imagine the backlash...
I bet any dev who is in the middle of working on a Kinect game is in shock.
