Next Xbox Consoles Will Be Wildly Different But Will It Work? | News Dose

[@Gemini_Billy]

If the next Xbox console allows us to play steam games and also allows mods on those games, that would be a day 1 buy for me

[@sdngy]

That is called a PC lol…even by now I play 99% of my games on my pc because it’s a much better graphical fidelity and whenever it’s in ultrawide screen and ultra and running better than on my console except when the pc port is a janky one… Steam big picture is very console like experience.

My point is, there are plenty of people like me that are technically competent, but don’t want to game on a pc for various reasons.

Sony will absolutely 100% adopt a similar strategy in the next year or so because they do not make nearly enough money from console sales and console sales will decline year after year when you can play games on any device. Remember when sony said they would never put games on PC? then it went to they would never put their biggest games on PC to they would never put their games day one on PC to they would never put their games on nintendo or xbox to, where we are currently, they would never offer their games on any device via a subscription model. Sony always follows microsoft and when they do they are immediately forgiven for doing what everyone hated Microsoft for doing.

[@UniversalStand]

Honestly when have you bots ever been excited for anything Playstation?

[@thinkingprole1]

The promise of the original Xbox when it released was that it was a console that was more like a PC. Xbox had connections with developers who developed for PC so they were able to get some awesome games. The Xbox and the Xbox 360 have a fantastic Library of exclusive games because they were close to being a PC. This is a great strategy and I will definitely buy what they're selling if it's what I hope they make.

[@TheFirstRealChewy]

Sure, Microsoft can license out the Xbox OS. However, it doesn't mean that it will be adopted. Essentially, Steam OS might very well steam roll the competition to become the OS of choice. So Microsoft will have to do something that makes Xbox OS the best choice for manufacturers, because just like Xbox, everything will also be a Steam Deck.

[@shivcharan5700]

Possible, but not probable. Microsoft has the Windows background with a very well established support system. SteamOS is basically a streamlined Linux, which is nowhere near as popular as Windows just yet. Once the support system for SteamOS becomes comparable to Windows or at least something that can be serviced, then the probability of what you suggest happening goes up significantly.

[@pablotricolor3197]

Greetings from Uruguay!!

I hope they open up the OS to all PC's I'm pretty much using my PC as a console now anyways.

[@SnooZeGamezZz]

I'm also just glad that someone other than Nintendo might finally be trying something new and innovative. Will it work? We will see...

[@SnooZeGamezZz]

Have 2 SKU's, one that only plays Xbox games with console spec similar to PS6 will have, for $500. Then have a SKU that can dual boot into Xbox console mode that plays Xbox games or Windows (Xbox GUI) that can play PC games, Xbox app, Steam Epic etc. for like $1K. Officially licensed it out to other companies to make interations throughout a gen.

[@SnooZeGamezZz]

The only problem I see with this strategy is devs are used to targeting a specific spec on console and console users aren't used to changing graphics options to get what they want in visuals and performance. I would think that the Xbox OS should have two modes, just like dual booting on a PC. Where the default is a typical console spec and will run Xbox only games. Then you can reboot into the Xbox OS aka windows 11 in a controller UI, where you can use the PC Xbox app, Steam app, and Epic apps. It has to be separate for casual consumers to be on board.

[@Zy.Blurish]

i mean to be fair these graphic presets are essentially doing the same as chossing between performance or fidelity mode. Tweaking on PC is an option and not necessary and with some games it's even easier than on a console because games can auto-detect your hardware and will choose settings for you if you want so there is not even any need to choose between performance or fidelity modes in many games.

[@SnooZeGamezZz]

@Zy.Blurish Auto-detect in most PC games I've played doesn't work well at all. Usually choosing lower settings than your PC can handle. I know it seems like an easy thing for us gamers who are really into the hobby, watching videos on it etc. But think of a kid playing or an average consumer, they don't want to have to mess with settings or troubleshoot performance issues. That's why dev targets are good for set specs. Steam OS tries to help with a deck default setting, but many times console settings are optimized well beyond a low/medium/high. They sometimes fall in between at a sweet spot for the hardware.

[@Zy.Blurish]

@@SnooZeGamezZz fair point.. it certainly isn't as complicated as many people make it seem to be but consoles are easier to handle.

[@Siranoxz]

This Xbox strategy allows Xbox to spread their gaming app on all devices.. If people actually use it then Xbox is going to make bank knowing their games are everywhere through game pass. If Sony falls behind on this by the sales numbers, then Sony will do exactly the same thing to catch up.. Catching up to port all of its games to PC is one thing, catching up to Game Pass is a second thing, but creating a mass eco system on all devices and make them compatible throughout all devices is a huge undertaking.. Unfortunately people still think in the traditional console wars bpx and exclusivity, perhaps you´ll understand this gaming migration once Xbox finally execute this multiplatform strategy.. I really like the idea of a gaming PC with all the working apps in one place without hampering on my PC performance and play my games that way so i don´t have to worry about irrelevant dedicated consoles.

I still feel making directX portable is the real move. Like proton tries to translate directX into vulkan etc. So things work on linux. Microsoft could make directX portable directly and make it work on any architecture. Make directX work on Apples Metal API, make it work on snapdragon elite chips and android etc. Make game pass work as natively as possible on these main architectures through an xbox app. If they can make backwards compatibility work on series X they can make it work on any architecture. I really don't find cloud gaming that appealing and don't think core gamers do either. This would be the real move to make anything an xbox. They need to beat valve in this, to have the stuff work on arm etc. before valve does. This would also make windows on arm more enticing, which should be a part of microsofts bigger strategy.

I agree. I've actually been saying they should do this for several years now. It would be even cooler if they released the OS for consumers who want to build their own system too, or dual boot with whatever OS they are currently running.

It's definitely the wise move for the 3rd in Hardware platform to do (yet 2nd place in the metrics that matter, almost first actually)! You get a reference model that's affordable with the handheld and a more powerful set top box. Then people can if they want, buy into Lenovo, ASUS, and others. This could really invigorate PC in a fun way, while letting you play your Xbox Library + Steam, Epic, etc. Very excited for this and hey, the idea of being able to manage your own mid gen refresh by spending more, is genius. Though I'm hoping to only carry two, maybe three handhelds: Xbox, Switch 2 and if PlayStation is sincere, the Vita successor (Near and dear to me, fav handheld still). So glad Freedom Wars is getting a PC release, I made the decision to migrate as much of my PS Vita library to PC via Steam as I could!

Funny how I've been talking about 'Xbox PC' and literally everything in this video for multiple years now, and media is just catching on as of the past couple of weeks. One stipulation for licensing the Xbox OS to third party manufacturers will be that they have to label the device as being an Xbox, which only makes sense. If you go out and build a ROG Strix based PC and install Windows, it's a Windows system regardless of what brand or spec of hardware you are using. All of this is a very good idea for MS and the Xbox platform. Good times ahead.

[@MaverickTHEHulK]

How would it theoretically work if you could a pc game on the next Xbox, but it didn’t have controller support? I’m thinking games with a lot of commands, like Arma, for example (not sure if it has controller support nowadays).

[@simonbrandy9662]

Asus has a phone that is designed for gaming. Those are the kind of products which would be perfect for a Xbox OS. Essentially, Microsoft want to bring new customers to Xbox, instead of fighting with Sony over the same audience. That isn't growing the market. That doesn't mean they will give up on their own hardware. Why do Valve produce the Steam Deck? It only sells a few million units. By the same logic, Valve shouldn't bother because Switch is the dominant handheld. Valve do it for brand recognition and to provide an option for Steam users. Steam OS, just like Xbox OS; being accessible on more products is an opportunity for growth. The younger demographic don't consume games like I did as a kid. Consoles were the main option. The PC market is also growing. It's clear that Xbox wants to expand its reach. I think Xbox consoles which are more of an open platform is a great idea.

[@martyplaysgames949]

Well if Xbox did an affordable custom gaming PC with full support that a pc has then I guess a lot of people will get invested in pc gaming and it can be an entry level PC experience something like the steam deck I suppose would kill it but instead of handheld a cheap pre built Xbox pc type a thing.

[@Greedygoblingames]

Xbox OS makes perfect sense to me. MS know they'll never be able to compete with Sony on hardware sales (and does it really matter since selling units doesn't make much profit) and they have decades worth of experience in delivering a very successful OS (whether you love it or hate it you can't deny it's successful), so why not release an Xbox PC. Plus, you get to play Xbox, Steam (and maybe even Playstation) games all in one console like experience.

It's looking like there's a Collab coming between Lenovo Steam and Xbox at the upcoming show so it might be sooner than we think. I use my steam deck in a similar way so this would be a great handheld combination for most users in my honest opinion. Hopefully there will be a version of gamepass for the deck as a result. I bought Helldivers 2 on my PS5 to play with friends on PC because I didn't want to link my steam to PSN if Sony pushed it. When Sony brought the PSN linking to it, my friends all quit. Understandably so. After that the interest vanished. It was the only reason I was paying for PS+ for the crossplay so I deleted it off my PS5 it was a waste of money. I cancelled PS+ and I won't be revisiting Helldivers 2 because it's tied to PS+ and I have Gamepass. PS+ just doesn't compete.

What Xbox doing such a move would allow is for consumers to not pay Microsoft the 30% cut that they get from the Xbox Store. Even if they ended up selling more consoles and as a result got more Game pass subscribers, that is unlikely to make up for that lost revenue. Nor is the Xbox OS licensing fee. That is why i don't see them going down that hybrid route.

[@TooToo246]

Personally, I think the only way for next-gen consoles to actually make sense, would be if they became handheld. Otherwise, the PS5 Pro proved that regular consoles are becoming more and more irrelevant! PS5 Pro got console gamers a lot closer to PC gamers. In the sense that they became way more involved in the process of game optimization and frame-gen and ray tracing, and fps count....etc. Things that console players never had to worry about or bother with before, since consoles were was just plug & play!......Handhelds, however, offer a new dimension as to why buying a console is justified, since consoles are supposedly all about convenience and creativity, and handhelds can take that to the next level as proven by Nintendo......Nintendo were simply ahead of the curve! Handhelds were held back but the limitation of tech, such as heat dissipation, size-vs-power, wattage, power consumption and battery life. But now with the rising popularity of the ARM architecture, handhelds can finally become the main consoles!

The Xbox is essentially dead as they're pushing play anywhere on everything so the console itself has lost it's appeal. I like the traditional console experience but i don't think I'm buying their new offering.

Xbox 🎉 is awesome

I don't give a damn about playstation negativity,y'all continue the exploiting...

[@Blindking84]

So the Xbox console is dead and if it's not a hybrid PC like I been saying before all you guys, then it's really gonna die next gen... nobody wants a "more powerful" console we want a more versatile platform to play all games available... Microsoft wants to put all games everywhere then they should have prioritized bringing all games to Xbox like the hybrid console would.... If they had done this first they could have released every game every where after that and none of us would have cared... They missed out on what could have been meteoric growth and a true leap frog over Sony and Nintendo for market share but instead of innovating the hardware to accommodate all games and then releasing all their games multiplat would have been a much better "Strategy"

If they just put windows with a shell or app like the rog ally I’ll drop Xbox. I have a rig ally and I replaced windows with bazitte. Windows was awful

[@JesseRitchey]

There maybe a market for a PC-ified console but for me if this the path for Xbox then 4 generations of Xbox consoles may be the end for me. It sounds like PlayStation is planning on producing more systems that I am looking for.

[@matthewmcdonald9107]

A controller? Who tf cares LOL! God console peasants are so easily entertained with the most basic of tech 🤣

[@tygeta9851]

If xbox decides to go the route of a handheld S like version and a new premium console that can host steam and egs, there would be zero reason to get another console. All Xbox games day one for the price of admission of a sub, your Steam library including Sony games, they would dominate.

I think calling X-Box a "console manufacturer" would make more sense if it wasn't owned by Microsoft, and bound by an inferior wallet size.

Liberate steam now in this shit console though

The new Xbox sounds so confusing. I also think the possibilities of the next Xbox are stupid. Stick with a console, period

[@gilly261085]

Confusing 😂😂😂 it will still be a console that can play epic and steam games it’s a game changer lololololol

[@SWOTHDRA]

​@@gilly261085how is that a game changer. The ROG ally does that right now

Just think of Android phones. Microsoft wants to do what Google did with android. Does Google make Android phones too? Sure they do. Does Samsung make Android phones? Sure they do. Does Motorola make Android phones?... You get the point, right?

[@Player1isgone]

It will still be console?

[@anonymouselite7657]

i love xbox but im going to be totally honest here- the third party strategy is going to kill xbox. xbox fans have been waiting so long for xbox to be a titan again just for this to be happening while playstation money hats games. its over

[@kevinlist3330]

Maybe stop loving a multi trillion dollar company and use them like a company and you won't feel the sting of their strategy as much i have play since day 1 of xbox but because I know xbox has a brand will live on , on PC, mobile and other devices I don't need to act like the sky is falling.

[@anonymouselite7657]

i dont lmao i left the xbox echosystem with the disasterious xbox one launch and went playstation then went to the xbox series x after playstation was full of themselves being anti consumer w the playstation 5 and after that i went pc. that trillion dollar corporation comment is so dense because we have sony a billion dollar corporation money hatting games and buying anime live services building a monopoly and noone calls em out for it. ppl are brain washed

@@anonymouselite7657 oh so you're a omg i hate them now I'm going to go to playstation i hate playstation now I'm going to xbox so you are a child then🤷‍♂️ ok enjoy being angry at the world kid. When you grow up and see that all these companies have anti consumer behaviours, all have money as their first priority, all use any business strategy to get more profit at the cost of the consumer all you can do is use their services play their games and get your enjoyment out of their entertainment stop acting like a child and they hurt you in some way.

Xbox is dead😂😂🤣

[@mustaphabtk2608]

Too late pale Xbox have no identity and here's why : -The console is finished -The handheld will not stand a chance -Xcloud is pathetic compared to GeForce -mobile app is under the mercy of Apple and google - steam OS will butcher their OS and with Mac OS windows will bleed horribly - Microsoft store is just pathetic as its executives -

[@MojaveKnight17]

Xbox will continue to fail decline 😢😂

[@kevinlist3330]

The console sales are the only thing that's declined 🤷‍♂️ sales and profit, games and studios all increased. 🤷‍♂️

[@sonysoyboysaremadeoftears.7404]

LMAO! It's going to be hilarious when sony adopts the same strategy because they don't make enough money from console sales and you will be saying: "wow sony! what a smart strategy!! sony is genius!!" lol I can't wait!

[@alexandrecl4331]

In terms of sales? No, Xbox consoles are pathetic this generation, and with most Xbox first party games launching on Switch 2 and/or PS5, i expect even worse. I won’t be surprised if it sells sells than 10-15m consoles.

[@jamesho8258]

Everything is an Xbox. My dishwasher is an Xbox

[@kevinlist3330]

It may sell less but depends on what it does🤷‍♂️ exclusives mean nothing and haven't for a long time it's all about power and features, if the xbox is a PC hybrid / Steam machine it could sell. To say it will say 10/15 million that's 10/15 million customers that buy games/ subscriptions 🤷‍♂️ along side cloud, gamepass, PC and their games on Playstation/ Nintendo 🤷‍♂️. They will be making money hand over fist still.

[@christonchev9762]

@@kevinlist3330 PC hybrid? do u really think that MS would make a Console that can run every game at 4k 60 fps max settings+full RT at the current prize?they could but the console won't be 500$ but prop 1000$+ and even then i don't think they can achive that seens AMD is known for not been a good GPU with RT on and if any ofthat doesn't work where do u think they will put those new futures u are talking about?

[@kevinlist3330]

​@@christonchev9762 gotta love how you attack me like I'm in the Microsoft office and know I'm just speculating from the information my comment reads "depends on what it does" so do I think it could be a $1000 machine yes which will put some off but gamers buy expensive stuff its an expensive hobby and even if 10/15 million people buy this $1000 machine like I said that's up to 10/15 million people on gamepass , 10/15 million buying games 🤷‍♂️ will it be 4k 60fps nope, I've been saying for a long time the industry is gonna standardise 30fps again these machines/ and developers even new ones can't do 4k 60fps for that it would cost more than $1000. We have to see what happens but the reality is Xbox isn't gone from the console market will this be their last maybe, will it sell less possibly, but they will earn a lot of money in the meantime 🤷‍♂️ remember just like windows , gamepass is their focus anywhere gamepass exists 🤷‍♂️

[@alexandrecl4331]

“Exclusives means nothing and is all about power and features” Are you sure about that? Nintendo Switch, the weakest console of the generation, with barely no features but more exclusives than PS and Xbox combined, is on the way to become the best selling console ever.
