@TheMule1983 the Xbox console is not done despite the layoffs. There were always layoffs, if people were not buying products cause of layoffs noone would lay off.
@RBRTMNZ they are greedy what's new. who's not greedy? but its not like companies make money from layoffs, on the contrary they pay a lot in severances what gets improved is their financials and in turn their share price which rules everything public companies do
@Kraven everyone lays people off niwadagsto improve their Financials, it's not Microsoft. Wd had more than 5ayoffs in my company dvd when we went private a few years back
@Titntin my guesstimate is that it's much easier to have Xbox series x games playable on windows 11, than games from Xbox og on Xbox series x, just because Xbox os is heavily modified version of Windows 11 24H2
I doubt Microsoft would even think about changing Xbox os if it would affect backward compatibility after all this time and with Cloud streaming still in beta
@Cakefish Xbox is making money by upselling gamepass to steam users who will buy xbox to use it for steam, by selling the console, be getting more users to its ecosystem
@FuzzieGinge88 it's irellevant how many ps5 consoles have been sold, as everyone e selling games have the same amount of prospective buyers! Consoles, but Xbox is the one domi ating This is not a ranking including mtople consoles, it's ps5 only and ms is dominating printing money, which in turn helps Xbox owners by investing more in games, keeping gamepass cost low, etc etc
sign keanu reeves and henry cavil and make a cool call of duty movie, that could gross 1B and elder scrolls, starfiled should be amazon premium tv series, like fallout
@IronCrow86 wtf are you doing here then? Instead of firza you can drive your car, instead of cod you can go and shoot in a firing range. What's the point of video games right? Ffs
@dskatter it's childish like the majority of online whining. If someone's majority playtime is from fromsoftware then they should have bought a Playstation and saved us the whining. Buying an xbox to play mainly fromsoftware games is dumb.
@Kienda @kihaennem it should work just fine wired on an xbox like any usb keyboard. and more importantly it uses the same wireless dongle as the arcade stick that works fine on xbox. I fail to see why this won't work as well, they might want to announce this as an new feature down the line.
Kadokawa only worths 3B so Sony can easily buy them. Buying them doesn't mea from software becomes 1sr party. Anyone saying Xbox is dead for them if this happens are just being childish
@Jenkinss I'm not talking about mutliplauer games expicitly, several articles here have devs saying how mych GP helped them financially so they weren't doomed.
and more importatntly this one is on both Steam and Xbox
@PsBoxSwitchOwner yeah but you can always buy from a 3rd party and upgrade with $1 to ultimate, so in practice its much less than that. I like Microsoft a lot but that's what I'm doing
with GP you would also be able to try hundreds more games, that you couldn't possibly buy on Ps.
imho it's exactly like streaming services, I prefer paying for Max and prime and get dozens of content rather than buying individual series
@Zenszulu no one said anything about the existing franchises of abk they will remain multiplatform. I'm only commenting that you make it sound like they are releasing everything to other platforms, when in reality its only 4 smaller games. So they are not releasing, they just released some.
@Zenszulu They have not be releasing games, they released just 4. You make it sound like the release on a monthly basis. Not everything will be released everywhere.
@Mephisto2869 Starfield is an exclusive built for 2-3 years under Microsoft's ownership, mw3 is not an exclusive sold 2-3 weeks after Microsoft's ownership. The tune wouldn't be different

Re: 'Retro Classics' Raises Questions About The Future Of Xbox Backwards Compatibility
@Titntin Xbox os is based on windows already so your prediciton that a lot fi currently backward compatible games want work is unbased
Microsoft wouldn't cancels backyard compatibility one of its best advantages that lightly
Re: 'Retro Classics' Raises Questions About The Future Of Xbox Backwards Compatibility
Everything blocked "due to licensing, legal constraints" won't be able to be streamed either so your fear is unsubstantiated.
Only games blocked by techinal constraints would fall under this and why anyone care paying a streamed game if it's the only way?

Re: Reaction: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle's PS5 Announcement Marks A Bold Step For Xbox
the incentive to buy an xbox is gamepass and the savings versus buying $70 games on PS5.
people will keep whining online like they always do for minor things, but this doesn't change anything for me
