"Microsoft’s launch of the Xbox One could be seen as 1 of the company’s bigger hardware blunders, although definitely not on the scale of the Surface RT or Zune disasters. With Xbox One, an arrogant management team miscalculated the desires of its audience and tried to force feed them a product that appealed to few. This allowed the PlayStation 4 to take a commanding lead early on, translating to sales numbers which place a sizable gap between Xbox’s 10 million sales versus PlayStation’s 13. But that gap is starting to narrow. Or at least, grow more slowly..."
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"
It was never the Xbox1 that was broken! It's always been the people "That were" behind the Xbox1 that were.
Now that that issue has been pretty much rectified, Phil let's make some magic happen!
The Bone is literally on fire right now and the new November sdk's have helped even more games get to 1080p. Wether you like it or not the XB1 is a very good system as is the PS4. I have both and each have there own good points but in the end they are both close in terms of what they offer and I say the gamers win in the end.
Surface RT was a blunder? Why did they just release a Surface Pro 3 then, or is that different because of the "Pro"?
I thought about going into Best Buy singing the song
