    Xbox Business Update Podcast | Xbox Everywhere Direction Discussion

    MS should wipe out a good portion of Xbox marketing and replace them with people that can do by the job effectively. That may be a good start to gaining new sales whether it be increased game pass subs or more consoles and software sold. That they have failed to have effective marketing for...

    The Life Cycle of a Gamer

    Without being able to reduce the costs and price to reach a wider audience there's a point where sales stagnate. It seems we're at that point. If costs can be lowered then it would probably have a positive impact on sales for either of the machines. It's not like there's less people to buy...

    Do you think there will be a mid gen refresh console from Sony and Microsoft?

    What's this about fighters mega mix high resolution? You may be mistaking things as that game took a hit to resolution and didn't use the Saturn's high res mode. It is a great example of a game taking a hit on resolution and overall clarity to have light sources.

    2024 may not be kind for game developers.

    There's no indication from the article that Rockstar has been touched. In that sense I'm unsure as to what the big deal is surrounding these cuts. Yes the cuts are a big deal to those losing their employment and I feel for them but from a different perspective these cuts are expected. If...

    Xbox Series... M?

    I can't really say I agree with this. MS would have a large advantage with Series S profile games that just work. Throw in game pass on top of that and you have a compelling mobile system. They could still keep it open and have a desktop or Windows mode for all the other apps and for those...

    I'm not sure of the ratio of S:X sales. It's possible series x sold a greater amount and MS can slowly drop support for Series S over a year or two and slot the X where the S is now. X2 would be the new premium modem. If Series S sold a greater amount then Series X then I don't think this...

    From what has been speculated upon in these forums is that RDNA 5 will be coming in the next year for 2025. Given the cadence that AMD develops and mabufactures it's gpu generations of the next Xbox is RDNA 7 based then I'd expect it to come out 2027 at the earliest. I just don't see that in...

    Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion [2024]

    I like it the way it is right now. Most devs give gamers a choice of 30 fps with prettier graphics and a 60 fps with better performance with lesser graphics. There will be a time when the current gen machines can't hold 60 fps, but I do believe the needle has moved closer toward 60 fps being...

    Xbox Series... M?

    I'm not sure how popular Steam Deck is. It gets a lot of press from gaming outlets for a machine with such a low install base. I wouldn't .and seeing what the sales are if some it's competitors like the rog ally I have little doubt a mobile Xbox would be able to compete with Steam Deck if it...

    Is this also true for MS developed games?

    Yes, I believe it may have been. I don't know if this is all the videos combined or if it's new commentary.

    The death of physical media

    Gamestop wanted to be the king of the physical games market by going the easy penny pinching route. They apparently also want to provide a horrible customer experience that makes people cherish the convenience of the buying digitally so they don't have to waste minutes of their lives in a...

    Series X Refresh and Next Generation Xbox Hardware

    Are they too late to the party? They wouldn't need to sell that many units to be deemed a success if we actually deem the Steam Deck a success. What will they need to sell like 7 million units total to match Steam Deck sales? If they can get a decent APU for a decent price and it can play the...

    I don't imagine the 4700s would perform similar to a 3600. Too many variables preventing the 4700s from reaching its full performance on a PC when comparing it to a 3600. Yeah it may have higher bandwidth, but also has higher latency because if the gddr. I'd be curious to know how the PS5 APU...

    PS5 Pro *spawn

    The launch of current consoles clearly gave us insight that plenty of people are willing to pay $800+ for a new console. I would consider that number to be minimum 3 million people so I do find it disingenuous to say such a device wouldn't sell in the millions. At such a high price I do...
