"Microsoft's Xbox 360 will officially turn seven on November 22nd, 2012 convincing many gamers that Microsoft's successor, often referred to as Xbox 720, is near. As the cycle goes, the closer we creep up on the launch of a new gaming device, the more rumors and leaks are found to tease the appetites of those anticipating what's in store for the future of gaming."

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"
Old'd
WTF? Nothing new here at all.
LAME.
Waste of time.
I just don't want another console to come out for at least 2-3 years. Those are good as they are with more work on graphic engine and good games they can continue just fine.
Tzunoy: GET A JOB!
You don't want next gen consoels because you can't afford them. I can, so I want them. Microsoft and Sony will move ahead without you anyway. We live in a corrupt capitalist society which means we all see the 720 at E3 this year. lol
As from what I've seen so far from buying digital copies of games outside of digital retailers like steam is more costly. PSN and Xbox live have both been very bad about online pricing. Most consumers wouldn't want to buy digital copy of a game for $60+ when they can get a hard copy for the same price. And as far as disk based measure to combat used retail it would seriously hurt a lot of devs who may get decent sales but aren't as popular as say Mario, Halo, or Uncharted. If a consumer doesnt have any options for refunds or some sort of trade in then that person will less likely be willing to try and buy anything outside what they know they want to buy. I for one buy mostly used games as I have accumlated well over 400,000 points at gamestop which has gotten me a lot of $50 gift cards. If used games go under then gamestop will disappear because that's where their money comes in.
