"With Microsoft's new firmware update introducing support for Microsoft's all-new XGD3 DVD format, now available to millions of Xbox 360 owners worldwide, there are a select few left with a console unable to play retail games. Microsft has addressed this issue in a rapid manner to ensure that they keep their customers satisfied and have them back up and running in no time. Meanwhile, Sony is currently wrapping up the restoration process of the PlayStation Network, at least let's hope so, and is now facing a crowd that will be hard to please."

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"
I think Microsoft is supporting their loyal customers in a great manner with this issue. I hope Sony can get the PSN back up and running fully soon!
What's funny is I'm watching Attack of The Show, which is a Live gaming show that is supposed to be up to date, etc.. etc...
But they, just as this author, are spreading false information. The Xbox update issue in question is from a PREVIOUS SOFTWARE UPDATE, already cleared up by Microsoft and Major Nelson. (If the sources I've seen are correct)
I mean honestly think about it. If MS knew that this update would harm consumers Xbox's ahead of time, why would they release it? They would simply retool the update so that this issue doesn't happen and release the update at a latter date.
After years into the console generation the XB360 can now read a whopping 7.8GB. The media claims victory for MS. Their reputation is boosted. They innovated. They increased their disk size by an amazing 1GB.
From very early on the PS3 can read 25-50GB on BR disks. Might even increase to 100GB or 200GB. Their reputation is in shatters claims the media.
Makes about sense for the games media this generation.
Good topic...
Sony is trying their best to come back from the PSN disaster. The 2 free games are nice, we'll just have to wait and see if we'll get anything else
