The company spokesman said:
“We actively invest in our future consoles and first page devices designed, designed and built by Xbox. For more information, the community can visit our announcement of the Agreement with AMD again.”
Of course, we have already noticed the announcement of AMD in our original article, but this comment did not do much to suppress questions among the game communities.
Many indicated that Microsoft had made such statements earlier, only to completely change his strategy later.
Anyway, because things are standing nowThe company claims that it undertakes to “actively invest” in future equipment. Whether it will remain true and causes a real product will just turn out.
In any case, it is worrying that this rumor raised so much couple that the company was forced to comment on it on Sunday.
Original story: The network is, perhaps dull, once again flooded with speculation about the unclear future of Xbox.
A arduous week for Redmond – in which he raised Pass game Prices by 50%, causing a failure of the cancellation site-were made with a modern speculation that its modern generation console could be canceled.
The source is not Bloomberg or Financial timesSo you should read with appropriate skepticism. However, the Trimerso poster Neogaf It is known that he has some knowledge about Microsoft’s plans because he broke the story of the decision of the Platform holder for a multiformat.
At the beginning of 2024Before The infamous update of the companyHe was one of the first to report Hi-Fi Rush plans and other Xbox Game Studios titles that arrive at PS5. Of course, we saw virtually the entire publisher plate.
And after the last rumor, Tom Warren from The Verge He appeared on the Xbox podcast to indicate a poster that knows “a lot of what is happening internally.” This is obviously not confirming the gossip, but it brings some weight behind the source.
So what does he say? In compact:
- At the beginning of next year there will be even more Xbox dismissals.
- Costco is the first main retail seller who removed the Xbox Series X | S sales, but others.
- Xbox Next Gen equipment was originally planned in 2026, but now it is “in the air”.
- Xbox will focus on publishing the software on all platforms, with an emphasis on its largest brands.
- He will operate PASS as a Trojan horse for cloud games and further price increases are coming.
For those of you who You want to read the original post We will fully include it not yet tagged below:
“Without entering too many details, shortly after the last round of dismissals (the next one should enter 26 BTW – and will be just as massive as the last one), some Xbox murmurs began to leave, which were arduous to believe.
The consequences of Gambit GP COD, which do not work, just began to measure properly, but what really got stuck me was that suddenly, really specific plans of the actual Mrs. Xbox HW, went from the final, up in the air, which was really surprised, considering that this thing was to be relatively soon. It was one of those situations in which, despite the fact that people were said: “Hey, we want to take it in 2026”, the steps you need to take, there were no modern Gen consoles. Many things that were “certain” began to push. The Costco seller pulled Xbox and apparently is one of the many we will soon find out, he told me everything I need to know.
To sum up: the future of Xbox is the publication of the software, with a significantly sanded IPS (COD, WOW, Minecraft, Candy Crush, Forza Horizon), GAM in the cloud is the home of “Xbox Platform”, moving the gamepass in principle, it becomes a preliminary subscription for Xcloud Access (which will continue to raise your price (which will continue to raise your price (which will continue to raise your price BTW, they are not ready, and only their software has become an operation on devices on devices, it has the market and users ready to buy their titles.
Perhaps an OEM thing will take the name Xbox, but considering what is clearly falling with the favorable mindshare and faith in the mentioned brand, I am not even sure whether OEM from the third party will want to have an Xbox console before MS ends with their reorientation of division. “
The problem with all of this is that it is directly contrasted with everything that Microsoft said because he insisted several times, now he has a modern generation equipment.
In fact, Just four months ago in JuneHe announced “many years of cooperation with AMD to Ko-engineer in the portfolio of devices, including future consoles of the first party and the cloud.”
But of course Redmond seemed quite schizophrenic for years, changing its plans regularly and without giving a clear and coherent message.
It is possible that Microsoft can “outsource” its modern generation Xbox to other electronics manufacturers, for example in the case of ASUS Xbox ROG Ally X. Although it turns out, as the main current-and indeed, an inexpensive-such product would be against the fully lectured PS6.
What leads us to the PlayStation angle in this story: what would this mean for Sony?
There are fears that flawless PlayStation can lead to a worse product for everyone, and we certainly see where this worry comes from.
Perhaps it is worth noting, however, that Xbox is not doing much at the moment to challenge Sony, and the platform owner still provides attractive software and services.
The reality is that PlayStation competes with All Nowadays, forms of entertainment; Switch 2 and PC remain real threats to their business, but just like Netflix, Tiktok and YouTube. He just can’t create a nonsense product.
What’s more, we think that Sony will be cut off from convincing customers to “updating” with PS5 more than ever, which can lead to a long and ponderous transition between systems. He will have to bring his game A.
So, regardless of whether this modern generation Xbox rumor is real or not-and once again we encourage skepticism while reading it-we don’t think that too much will change for PS6.
Sony has a arduous way ahead of him and simply requirements To provide an attractive, inexpensive product with great games. Nothing has changed.
