@themightyant In Nintendo's defense, that's how they've always done it & they've been doing it a lot longer than X-Box, so it's second nature for Nintendo users.
@GoldenPants I agree with you. The way Microsoft is hyping it up, this premium X-Box seems like it will almost certainly come eventually, but it's definitely a niche device at best. As far as a new entry in the regular console race, I'm not sure that they should even bother. With all the ill will they've garnered in the last few years, it would almost certainly do worse than the current gen in sales.
But to be clear, I don't want to see them gone from that space. Nintendo & Sony already seem to be getting more cocky & that's not a good thing for the consumers. If it's not Microsoft, someone needs to occupy that third slot.
This sounds pretty delusional. They barely sold 2M consoles in 2025. Even the OG Switch sold more. You can't have a "longer tail than usual" when you're on life support.
