Ninja Gaiden Black please!

I love the security seals! ☹️

@Balaam_ And isn't that what it used to be about? Developers maximising the hardware they've been given.

The Series S is an absolutely incredible machine for the price it launched at. A cheaper gateway to this generation and a guarantee that you could play every game that was on Series X (minus the spit and polish).

The cost of RAM has made it less affordable and less appealing, but I really believe that the idea of having a lower spec console model is a good one.

The Series S was an absolutely genius idea by XBOX. Every PC handheld is aiming towards Series S as its benchmark then building on that.

The entire industry is heading towards a multiple split when it comes to gaming.

If the next "top tier" PlayStation and XBOX are really £1,000 or more, then no casual gamer in the world will buy one. No kid is getting a £1,000 machine in his Christmas stocking.

Therefore we need another Series S, next gen, so that people can still play the games of that generation without concerning themselves with all of the other bells and whistles that other people expect.

Surely it can't play very well on the Evercade systems without analogue sticks.

Here's another way to increase brand awareness...ADVERTISE YOUR F***ING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES!

I can't remember the last time I saw an XBOX TV advert and I've never seen one that even mentions Game Pass, backwards compatibility, disc to digital or any games.

I want Forza Horizon 2 please.

Creating the Series S was a fantastic idea by XBOX and it's a wonderful system. For gamers who aren't fussed about the highest resolution etc. it's an amazing way to be part of the current generation.

Especially the way the industry is currently and heading towards, having a weaker baseline for developers is perfect. Handhelds, streaming etc. need to be weaker than the main system by default.

Does anyone know if this will be disc to digital?

Onrush and Deadpool are two delisted games that I now have digital access to. 🙂

Forza Horizon 2 didn't work but I'm hoping that will change.

Toxic Commando is the most recent release I have that worked perfectly.

Little Nightmares 3 obviously didn't. Hurry up and join Bandai Namco!

Banjo 1+2 remastered
A new Banjo game
A Banjo kart racer with Crash and Spyro
Pick up the Perfect Dark reboot to see if anything can be done to salvage it

Guaranteed digital ownership and a digital trade in store.

@DoomSlayer87 I use Game Pass as a try before you buy service. Any game that I've played and even mildly enjoyed, I've pretty much ended up buying rather than continuing to play through/complete on Game Pass.

2028??? I'll wishlist it now then 🤔

I wonder if the seemingly damaged relationship between Kojima and PlayStation will mean that Death Stranding 2 gets an imminent release on XBOX.

@badboidre It's so weird that you acted like you didn't know the correct name for the Switch Lite but then actually used the name. 🤔

I'm struggling to think of what could be included in a potential Volume 3. Metal Gear Rising maybe.

If either PlayStation or XBOX introduced a digital trade in store/2nd hand marketplace then they would win the next generation.

@FraserG Don't jinx it!!!

I'm genuinely loving the transparency and pretty much instant updates from the new leadership.

@Fishticon No. You didn't at all. Nobody cares mate.

@Balaam_ This seems like a problem which affects you. And maybe 2 other dudes.

"staining otherwise perfect accounts" 😂

If Helix ships with a disc drive then XBOX will have a massive advantage over PlayStation and could see a lot of gamers switch from blue to green.

But I really believe that having a digital trade in/digital resell store (whoever does it) would be the absolute killer way to get people to join either side.

Is this only on XBOX? I haven't seen anything about it on Push Square.

@oopsiezz Okay. My bad. I guess I'm hoping for more too.

@oopsiezz The entire show isn't over is it?

This is genuinely amazing!

I actually really love playing XBOX games on my Quest 3. Great feature.

@Balaam_ "The turmoil of others" 😂 You really need to cheer up and get some perspective mate.

@dskatter But getting a game playable on the Series S doesn't affect the Series X version in any way. The Series X versions of games are on par or better than the base PS5 versions 99% of the time. (I did the maths 😂)

@dskatter With hardware costs rising and handhelds becoming more prevalent, having a lower spec system to aim for makes absolute perfect sense.

Which game has been scaled back for Series X just so it can play on Series S?

And if rumours are true, surely the next PlayStation handheld won't have the same power as the base PS6.

@Millionski Why? The Series S requirement doesn't affect this game at all for Series X players.

id making a Perfect Dark game would have been a bad combo in my opinion.

Just give me more Quake and Wolfenstein please.

These games are fully playable on XBOX. Why is everyone crying?

I've created my own custom artwork just so that I can have every XBOX generation in the same style of box and look beautiful on my shelves.

I would say that most of them are XBOX One games.

XBOX could absolutely win the next generation not just by doing a disc to digital programme. But setting up a digital trade in store. They could take a percentage of trades and people would be happy. The same way that a physical shop buys your physical game and then sells it on for more. Store credit when you give up your licence for that game.

@Kaloudz It seems kind of similar TBF.

I love it. I really wish that the PlayStation and Switch boot screens were more interesting.

Marketing? What ****ing marketing??

@Deshalu I really like her too. She's been saying and doing a lot of the right things.

@Skinny-Pete I've said this for years! AI can save the industry by reducing dev time and allowing artists to create better things.

2 different models/hardware standards just like Series X|S but open to other hardware manufacturers which should help reduce prices.

I can also assume that AI will be utilised to boost power in the same way that PSSR does for PS5. Whether that be via system updates or online.

It's a marketing tactic as old as time to say that you're struggling to keep up with demand. But it still works.

OMFG! I want this so badly!

This is such amazing news. Capcom are absolutely killing it this generation!

I've noticed on sites like Very (in the UK) that all models of Xbox console seem to be viewed more than ever and selling more than ever (according to their website numbers).

@InterceptorAlpha Okay. Well done.

@InterceptorAlpha That came out in mid 2025.

Didn't this port also charge the controller in some docking stations?

@Balaam_ Physical media will eventually rot and be completely unusable. That's a fact.

Digital will be a far better way to preserve games as long as rules are put in place across the industry. I'm talking about government sanctions to allow us to be able to access our digital purchases forever.

Unfortunately, the current industry can't cope with that. We don't have indestructible physical media and we don't have permanent ownership of digital media.
