It appears they are going down the "steambox" road of a PC but in a simple and easy to use console package.
The problem is that for £20 a month with no up-front fee, I can get a top end gaming PC via Geforce Now Ultimate.
It has console-like usability and you get a free-handheld included as you can run it on your phone/tablet.
If the console is £1000....that's four years of Geforce Now Ultimate. At the end of those 4 years, the Xbox is out-of-date, where as GF Now will be running on the latest GPU as you get free upgrades.
As a die hard Xbox fan from day one, that's what I will do. Own a PS5 Pro or PS6, and if I want to play an Xbox game at launch rather than waiting for the PS version, or if it just runs badly on console, I will sub to a month of GF Now just to play that game.
