Wonder how much of legit reason for Xbox delay due to Series S?

That's A LOT of money for something majority gamers give care less about or even want.

@JayJ Yep. Xbox cloud rubbish pretty sure came shortly after Nadella ruined Office by forcing it into unnecessary, overpriced subscription service.

Nadella needs to go.

I'm curious. Is Mindseye in that "new price point" of $70 - $80?

@andrewsqual I do agree 110% with everything you are seeing and saying.

But really not going put - - at least not yet - - all the blame on Phil. Mainly due to Nadella. Over last 10 years all nadella's vision been, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, more cloud, then even little bit more cloud, and also to find a way to make EVERYTHING and ANYTHING possible into an unnecessary and overpriced subscription service.

And not even get me started on the good products with incredible potential Microsoft had but nadella pulled the plug on.

The next trouble keep in mind is nadella is a complete, total AI nut. Going see lot more of that from him. Microsoft recently purchased or are hammering out the details to buy a reactor or two at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania to power their AI.

Yes. That Three Mile Island.

@TheGameThrifter Yes. You nailed it. Microsoft have no clear, definite, direction. Majority of that is due to Nadella. He needs to go. Is terrible for Microsoft.

He's basically a large, company wide version of Don Mattrick.

Xbox Data Shows 'Most' Console Owners Are Enjoying Subpar Experiences So They also Play On Tiny Screens That Will Ruin Their Eyesight And Play On Small Cramped Devices So They Get Early Carpal Tunnel As Well, Says Exec

There. Fixed the headline.

@Kaloudz Thinking it was Gran Turismo?

On this very site for years now, I've said the new Xbox console most likely be Switch style console.

My past posts absolutely prove been calling this one for a while now.

I still could be wrong. But still think I'm correct in my belief. Yet no one gives me credit here in comments section or in articles on here. Pfffffffft. Lame.

Come on now! Lol

I've looked all over online. It seems there will be no loot box edition for borderlands 4?

I'm really bummed out. Purchased loot box edition for borderlands 2 and 3. Planned on 4.

@Lup Yes, people that eat sirloin and never ate filet minion will swear sirloin is most amazing thing ever too.

@Ernie Switch 2 framerates probably better than Series S.

@Lup "Series S owners know what they bought"

Yes. A mistake. Lol

@abe_hikura Yep. The Series S was never legit or relevant. Lol

Unless someone thought the Nintendo Switch graphics were amazing, high tech, cutting edge, and ground breaking.

What? Wait?

Yet another article stating the Series S yet again incapable of running yet another game properly.

You don't say?

In other news, water is wet, fire is hot, snow is cold.

Ridiculous price for something that has battery life of...maybe 3 hours?

@Millionski Don't worry. The $100+ price point for next gen games will allow developers to hire more people.

@FraserG Grammar and critique police.

So very unnecessary. Given no thanks for all work that you do here. So sad.

@Kaloudz Depending on what experience you are looking for. The sci-fi channel mini-series is regarded the most accurate adaptation compared to novel. The David Lynch version I really enjoyed and what changes did make from book really felt like it belonged. Hard to describe. The newest ones are good but mostly geared as spectacle and eye candy.

Plus have to stomach Zendaya. Always thought she is terrible in everything she does.

Hopefully the Xbox edition will include all DLC the PC gets before then.

Really not much doubt for me switch 2 more powerful than Series S lol

Doesn't Phil and Microsoft say that EVERY year?

If it's a Halo remake or remaster that is just pure stupid to even bother to tease that.

If not a new Halo game, just keep their mouth shut. Very much an incredibly tasteless, example of bait and switch I've seen in long, long, long, time.

@ZuneTattooGuy "Many games are much larger than the discs they are printed on"

Good point. I've never, ever, seen a game released on more than one disc. Never once in history of gaming have any developer ever done that.

@Ricky-Spanish Not trying give you hard time since do like discussing on here with you.

But the fact you upgraded really says a lot you know. : )

@Nintendo4Sonic @themightyant I'm going to call malarkey on this.

Developers MAJORITY of the time develop with the lowest common denominator in mind. Thus hindering progress and development when factor in lower benchmarks.

Therefore, the Series S is ABSOLUTELY holding the Series X back.

@ZuneTattooGuy If digital is same price as physical game. Then, yes, it does cost more. Especially when factor in you own nothing. NOTHING. Just a license that could go away for any reason, at any time.

All digital games should be $20 - $30 cheaper than physical.

@Nintendo4Sonic Better watch trashing the useless, pointless, under powered, sad excuse, that is probably even less powerful than Nintendo Switch 2.

There are some diehard Series S fanboys in the fourms. Guess they appreciate having the worst experience in gaming today.

Pretty much they are choosing the equivalent scenario of driving a Honda civic when extra $100 could got them a Camaro or a vett.

@Friendly "code in a box started with pc like 15-20 years ago though"

But was it a cheaper price by $20 - $30 for doing so?

I'm sorry. Like for real here.

If there is just a code then in no way shape or form should any game be $80.

NO digital game - NONE - should EVER cost more than a physical edition of the game. EVER!

Let's all be honest here.

Bugthesda COMPLETELY relies on modding community to fix their games and support it with content for years and generate income for bugthesda. All while bugthesda does the ABSOLUTE minimum with the game.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Said for years now it's coming. Game pass business model is absolutely not sustainable. At all! If Microsoft wants game pass to exist, they are going increase it to $50+ a month within next 2 - 3 years.

Anyone not see that coming is foolish and naive.

@TapeLoader This is one reasons why I detest game pass so much because Microsoft forced it on us just to cancel Xbox Live.

Only way to play online now (far as I know) is to pay for game pass. And that's $10 - $20 a month.

Xbox Live you could buy on sale for about $60 for 12 month card. Making it $5 a month.

$70 and $80 games just means the chance I ever play the game is now slim. Might play the game year or two after release, if feel like it. I have plenty backlog keep me occupied. $70 and $80 for video game is simply plain ridiculous and pure greed.

And this is coming from someone that has disposable income as just spent $6200 on home theater setup.

Hopefully their greed leads to their downfall and realize how stupid those prices are.

Also wondering if the regular Ally will be severely underpowered compared to Ally X and have constant reports of not being able run games like Xbox Series S?

If they are smart. They will put an extra hundred dollars on top of the original asking price just to help recoup all the money are going to lose by overestimating the "demand" for Xbox handheld.

I'm going with F.

Far tooooooooooo many anime style games. Thought was going watch Xbox showcase. Not Nintendo Switch 2 showcase.

At least didn't have any the.... Coming Fall 2037!

@Kaloudz Basically it's broken down into levels. You do boring, repetitive, busy work, tasks to earn points that move you up the ladder (or maybe i best to say into another section). Each level you pick an item out that level and move up a level, repeat. Vast majority of good items are paywall locked behind the fallout 76 subscription service.

I will add this is after a revamp they did with seasons. Was even much, much, much, worse before.

Either way it's very time consuming. I was having play miminum 2 hours a night for months to complete a season. And when season ends - it ends. So if miss some days or get really tight. Not going complete the season.

Turned me off playing the game again. 110%.

All I want is a mode in state of decay that turns of all the special zombies and makes the shuffling ZOMBIES, ONLY.

I really world enjoy immensely a walking dead simulator in state of decay 3

@Kaloudz @Ricky-Spanish Agree 110%. My post above is why I quit playing fallout 76.

Elder scrolls online started doing a "season" type thing. But they absolutely get it and are doing it correct. Not obnoxious like fallout is.

The Seasons in Fallout 76 are waaaay too insanely long to complete. I religiously completed EVERY season for six or so.

Then I said this is ridiculous. Having to play 2 or 3 hours a night, EVERY night, for months in end. Had ZERO time to play any other game.

Stopped playing the game. Really never went back. They absolutely need fix Seasons by reducing it being able complete in week or so.

@Joe_Danger Glad you enjoy handheld gaming. But you are one of a very, very, very, minority. All because you enjoy handheld gaming not make me wrong.

If you were in a great majority, the Xbox first party handheld world been released by now. Microsoft knows there is no money to Xbox handheld market.

Nintendo is another story. They are like when you want a burger you go to McDonald's or burger king. Not KFC or Popeye's.

But... an executive that feels the world is exact because in their eyes they like something - so everyone else must too. Guess I've always been correct on more than just Xbox handheld market.

@Kaloudz Welcome. Just looking out for you.

My guess the game would have some thing going with lights and flashing. I could be very wrong about Persona since not played it. Pretty sure is JRPG. I can't stand them for all the annoying... voice work... visuals... characters carrying around 8 ton, 50 swords with ease when they're like 5'2". Don't get me started on how their mouths open large enough swallow a truck in one bite for no reason.

Pretty sure you figured out by now, I can't stand anime and JRPGs. Lol

@ozkrmz As much as I agree with you 110%. Your single display of nonconformity, nonpurchase, did not sway Microsoft even the tiniest bit.

Numerous amounts of people foolishly forked out money for that overpriced storage. Just another Microsoft grift, much like game pass is.

Xbox storage is ridiculously, seriously, overpriced.

@Kaloudz Persona is JRPG. If I remember correctly, in one conversations we had together on here, shared have issues with flashing/strobe effect in games?

If that was you, I'd recommend really researching or stay away from that game. JRPGs usually have, exaggerated, unnecessary light patterns in ones, I've played.

@chesheer @themightyant @BAMozzy @Pac_Bot Contraband is just another example of why I continue to stress, over and over, again, any developer not follow The Six Month Rule are foolish and damaging their reputation and throwing sales away.

@simonj And the ones living in deep sleep of denile hopefully will wake up.

I think it's very obvious that Bugthesda in no way shape or form seriously care about QA issues during development.
