Xbox is Moving Away From Consoles (Kinda)

Xbox. It’s a video game thing. Video game things you play. On the TV. With a box. But what if you didn’t? What if Xbox wasn’t a box at all? What if we were the Xbox the whole time?
Today I wanna look at new developments from Microsoft regarding the brand, and maybe remember how we got here.

so a few hours before this video went live, Microsoft announced xCloud servers are now based on Xbox Series X rather than the Xbox One, so games will look better. But more importantly it appears browser support of xCloud is out today, so, kinda wish they announced that before the video was done.

I'm still surprised that Xbox survived after barring multiplayer to subscribers. Not only did it survive but the practice even spread to Playstation. And people still play both of them! Insanity.

[@Cr3zant]

Look at Nintendo and you see why. Servers for shit you aren't paying for are gonna naturally be shit since there's no way P2P will ever work in anything semi-competitive, which is the demographics xbox and playstation catered to since they started releasing FPS games (aka literally day 1 with xbox and PS2 for Sony.)

[@darken2417]

@@Cr3zant You assume the developers get any of the subscription money. That would be wrong. None of that money go's into developers bank accounts.

[@sodapone]

Yep, and in fact Sega tried _a lot_ of things well before they went mainstream, like even VR for the Genesis... In fact, I'd argue it's partially why they went out of the console business, investing too much into technologies that weren't mature enough.

It's very possible that Microsoft's next move is to become an internet provider too. It makes so much sense too. They are a tech company, their "Netflix for gaming" need a better internet (which, let's be honest, most of the internet provider out there is just bad) and they have an insanely deep pocket and connection Either that or Starlink will be finished first and then Microsoft become their partner of sort and target this Netflix for gaming idea into the global market

[@dracvich]

Interesting thing about Starlink is that in the end of 2020 I think Microsoft announced that they will be partnering with SpaceX to bring Azure into space with Starlink So XCloud on the Starlink is a very real possibility

At this point xbox is such a staple of the gaming medium that it likely will never go anywhere. It's shown time and time again that they want the entire collection of games and accessibility available to be carried forward and expanded upon, which is pretty indicative of the company and practice itself. No matter where Microsoft goes next for its constantly expanding mediums and ideas, xbox is always gonna be a constant that won't go anywhere. If it did go anywhere, there would be such an active uproar from the community that they'd almost be obligated to bring it back. Otherwise the publicity backlash would hurt them far more than any direct monetary one

[@oscarperez9783]

That’s crazy, time and time again the idea of xbox leaving will result in a lot of backlash that’s shows how much people love brand. If only that could’ve happened with Sega, they were also a such beloved brand that had to leave but it seemed no one cared at that point. Sega was always more innovative than xbox, yet we let Sega die. No idea why they would want to keep xbox around since time and time again Microsoft has dropped the ball so many times and they’re still fine in terms of loyalty towards the brand.

[@DavidHosey1]

@@oscarperez9783 I don’t care about the brand, I care about what it offers. And right now, Xbox is offering some of the most. It’s also practically impossible to die, due to Microsoft having exponential growth each year after year Also I really don’t get what you’re trying to say, cause some of your things are straight up untrue lmao. Like Sega isn’t anywhere close to being dead. In fact they’re doing really well for the last many years, with Yakuza and Persona becoming immense successes. Sorry to say, but most big name brands aren’t going anywhere. If things like Sega and Capcom and survive huge droughts in content and tons of failures, then I’m pretty sure that Microsoft isn’t gonna have any real chance of dying

[@oscarperez9783]

@@DavidHosey1 they do have a lot of money but they’re not going spend a lot of money just to keep it alive, the Xbox brand has always been unprofitable for them they always report loses for the Xbox brand.

@@DavidHosey1 plus most of their big game successes in recent memory are not even made from sega themselves. It’s their atlus subsidiary that has made all the persona games and most of their successful games for modern sega.

So yea modern sega doesn’t even make games that much anymore, it’s atlus and sega fans that have made them

[@doorbell8132]

Great video but I don't think Xbox is doing this to be more in line with the rest of the Microsoft brand to keep the plugged from getting pulled, I believe they thought that this was a reasonable step to take the future of Xbox and gaming in general...and to be honest, I'm fully on board. This could be huge, like it can shift the balance of everything...it's kinda exciting.

Bang on target. The idea that XBOX becoming a service, maximising the use of the Azure cloud stack, not just by streaming but also running AI-assisted gaming (e.g., MS flight simulator) is probably what excited Nadella to push for XBOX and be the Netflix of gaming. It fits perfectly to their cloud first strategy.

I'm actually really happy with xCloud right now. I was a huge detractor at first, and I'm still hesitant to proclaim love for it, but man has it been nice to have. In my living situation I have no room for a television, and I can barely run a heater and a cellphone charger at the same time without blowing the breaker. It's pretty much handheld gaming only for me. I got my switch, my phone, and an old ass laptop that can barely run Sims 2, and a 40 GB hotspot is my only internet. But with xCloud I can actually kinda game sometimes. Internet's not always great, and some games run better than others, but as long as I'm not trying to play anything too fast-paced past my data limit, it's actually functional. Also it's nice when you're playing on somebody else's console but they don't have a game installed. You can stream it instead of installing unwanted games onto somebody else's hardware. Also no download. Super convenient. That said, most gamers will have a TV, console/PC, and home internet service, and I'm really not sure I ever would've cared about it if I had those things.

Even when cloud streaming becomes a thing by the time it does goal posts will shift such as in the refresh rates; where the typical console/PC by that time will probably do 240hz+ (and up to 4k if not higher) and streaming will have only up to probably 90-120hz at best (also assuming up to 4k). But to note phones also will become dramatically more powerful to such an extent in which they might be the “next” console experience which Sony has their feet dipped into as well which might mean that “Xbox phone” could unironcally be a thing in the future

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

I don't think the world is ready yet for cloud gaming, as the internet isn't capable of doing it in most places right now as you've already pointed out. I think right now they should focus more on Game Pass and cross-play. But with PC, they should focus more on Steam integration with their Xbox library, instead of the Microsoft Store which nobody wants to use. It would also help if they made their Steam releases more optimal at launch, rather than release them in a broken state and then patch it up later down the line. The Xbox console would still benefit as an all in one console that can support as many titles as possible, provided they get around to adding additional Xbox Original and Xbox 360 titles, when or if that will happen.

Its a very interesting time to be in gaming, you have this kind of thing going on with Xbox and Microsoft, you have the disaster that turned out to be the PS5, you have Switch shipping out a version of the Switch with some fancy screens they wanted to get rid of, and seems to be pulling back from the now very outdated Switch, you've got enormous prices for GPUs that are thankfully said to be going down soon, and then on top of all that crap, Valve just comes out of nowhere with the Steam Deck. To me it's like consoles have begun to see their last bits of life in general before they're just, fazed out of mainstream, it's always been a point of contention but really, when you have upgradable hardware on a PC, the longevity is always going to be there, where with consoles they'll pile up in your closet as newer ones come out with better gear, which isn't price or hardware efficient at all. The Deck is going to suffer the same fate, but it's clearly a kind of trial for Valve to introduce more people to Steam and PC gaming in general at a time where it just so happens that consoles are kinda suffering. It's kind of an empowerment to existing or new PC gamers than just a push to move to consoles. I'm really eager to see what happens with all of it.

[@eliasskopelitis4886]

I highly doubt consoles will 'faze out' since they are way more 'value for money',and they always have been until now.

[@leonardomerino8914]

Consoles are more comfortable and accessible than PC gaming, that's why they are sold so much, I think that they will not disappear in the short or medium term, which is why Microsoft, despite its gaming-as-a-service strategy, continues to manufacture consoles and there are plans for future generations

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

MS has the right idea of mixing PC and Xbox together (so to speak as you said). Consoles are to expensive for me and barley have any games worth paying $500 every few years for. Now I just stick to PC gaming. And with MS and even Sony putting some games on PC, I for sure won't go back to consoles. I know some argue PC gaming isn't expensive, but it depends on what kind of PC person you are. A. The person who always needs the latest hardware. If your this person, of course it will cost you insane amounts of money just to push out a few extra frames. B. The person who builds their PC and doesn't really upgrade until they have no choice. Then its cheaper then console gaming. My current PC I built in 2014 for about $1100. It still runs games just fine. I don't have a 4k screen I can't run games in 4K. But lets face it, unless your screen is insanely huge, you won't notice the 4k really. I probably won't buy any upgrades until 2025, if not later. And if I do it will probably be a video card. Currently I got a 2070 Super.

[@corey2232]

Every few years? Who is paying $500 every few years for a new console? PS4 was $400 & released in 2013. PS5 released at $400 & $500 in 2020. That's 7 years if you're buying day one. I'm a PC gamer, and I've always spent WAY more on my PC than any console. My GPU alone, which is several years old now (RTX 2070 Super), sell for nearly $1,000 alone (some models more than that). That's not including a processor, motherboard, RAM, m.2 NVMe drive/SSD, case, fans/cooling, etc. Or if you're talking the $500 models of new systems, they even come with 4k UHD Blu-ray players on top of all that. I don't have a Series X or PS5, just the PC I built & a Switch. But I feel it's dishonest to try & act like console gaming is expensive & PC gaming is cheaper. It's really not.

Honestly, I don't see microsoft working on another console after the series x, especially with the purchase of Activision/Blizzard. Why is that? Simple, Microsoft hasn't released a single xbox exclusive since the end of the first year of the Xbox One, where all games have since been released on both Xbox AND PC. This should be a major warning sign as Microsoft has been doing this even more now, further pushing towards releasing games onto the pc. So what that tells me is that after the end of the Series X, Microsoft may no longer be focusing on consoles and instead just focusing on releasing software and games onto pc and the other consoles. This would make them more money without having to pump money into a console.

[@DmonicAlex]

I for one am happy about Microsoft's new approach. Yes, internet speeds are needed for cloud gaming, but it works fantastically. There was virtually no input lag for me. The graphics quality is what suffers when you have a dip in internet connection.

[@mrpalaces]

So this time they're actually going to take Google's failed idea and execute it better?

[@cqllel5186]

I think Microsoft should rather go for more gaming products than consoles and encourage more PC gaming since it's literally superior in erry possible way. While they have perfected controller designs, they should more importantly focus on its hardware now and improve it further. They already make better controllers than what Sony can sit out in terms of long term use and ergonomics at least, but they are a bit behind on latency. And Nintendo should take notes from both. Buying out companies like Activision/Blizzard could be great. Making sure we get the highest quality games, safest and better managed work environments, and make the games available everywhere. In which they can then claim errybody plays Xbox games. Because they technically are! They'll be playing them on the Normiestations more than the Xbox itself, but PC gaming contains like 80% of the world's gaming population. It's why each generation of consoles sell less and less and the oldest of consoles always are at the top of the list. Bcuz less and less people buy consoles each generation due to PC gaming being superior in erry possible way. It makes the whole idea of consoles just very stupid in erry way with the exception of Nintendo and Steam Deck.

[@milesgreen4801]

Xbox now makes gaming accessible via smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc. and is partnering with and buying out major game studios. Would there be any reason other than collector's impulse to go out and buy the physical consoles? Would Xbox soon cease to produce consoles and make gaming all cloud based due to these reduced console sales? Would they take a financial hit since everybody could get into games via buying a $30 used controller and a monthly $15 Game Pass Ultimate subscription instead of buying a $500 console? Could having more monthly cloud subscribers worldwide outweigh the revenue gained from one time console sales in stores? How long would it take for that inevitable loss to turn into positive revenue as the world adjusts to Microsoft's cloud gaming being shoved down our throats? How will this hurt Sony and Nintendo since people will most likely find Xbox's cheaper gaming options less expensive? Will Sony eventually follow the cloud gaming trend?
