Question of the day

If xbox is dead what will happened to the elder scroll 6 project? Currently the biggest project under their leadrship

Since Bethesda is microsoft division mow

If it gets shut down down like tango well shit that will cause alot of uproar since many people anticipate that game

I doubt they close it up. Elder Scrolls is one of there biggest ips. And it comes out like once in bloodborne moon cycle.
Things like Doom, Minecraft, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Forza, Halo will always be planned and worked on. Otherwise they have nothing

Well we know why that shill is mad about it 🙄

...also this advert would've worked a lot better if it said "This is Xbox" instead of "This is an Xbox". Because if they're trying to signal a device-agnostic future for the brand, why remind people about a physical device every time you try signaling it's not about the device anymore?

"This is Xbox" = This is the brand

"This is an Xbox" = This is the device

So this advert is actually very ineffective.

Who would invest time & money in any form of Xbox platform or ecosystem where ther brand, ecosystem & platform is confusing asf.

Who tf sign on this?

Bruh this has to be a joke & somehow PS is following the dumb, brains dead moves by Xbox.

When will these companies understand that what ever platform you try to push whether it’s hardware, cloud, subscription, web browser base etc you need exclusive content that can only be played/use on that specific storefront. Xbox mobile storefront will fail unless MS makes candy crush & COD mobile exclusive to the Xbox mobile storefront because who will buy, spend time in a storefront that either has nothing exclusive or wide library support from 3rd party. Netflix know that if they started releasing there shows on Disney+ they would loose subscribers long term instead there’s now diversifying going into gaming & will likely make multiplat games until the Netflix games name gets its prestige where they can make exclusive games on Netflix good enough that will make people either subscribe to Netflix (maybe a new gaming tier or a la carte through the Netflix storefront)

5 years from now Xbox won’t have any platform. Xbox consoles dead, Xbox mobile storefront dead, Xbox subscription/cloud dead if you want to thrive in a market you have to fully lean into the thing & look at other avenues that don’t diminish that storefront/platform. Nintendo is doing proper expansion without needing to diminish the Nintendo platform those including Nintendo hardware & the Nintendo storefront

I think this is a smart move for them. They've been seeing a good amount of cross platform success, and tariffs next year are only going to further pressure hardware prices.
Not entirely true as a whole even after spending 100 billion & acquiring 4 publisher such as Zenimax, Activision, blizzard & king they barely hit the green luckily it seem black ops 6 perform good but they can’t have one of year or it will look extremely bad but hey if your 3rd party your at the mercy of not having a platform & having insurance of making free money of the backs of 3rd party publishers

These journalist are the ones that said the future is 3rd party.

It’s only the future if it means PS also self destruct because a PS w no exclusive is a PS Xbox can finally compete w 1 to 1 because MS has more money & can buy the biggest ip etc.

The reality is Xbox tried to pivot to cloud & fail, subscription & fail, console & fail, handheld will fail & they will solely be a 3rd party developer trying make premium on PC, PS & Nintendo. Xbox has been nothing but extremely reactionary at the detriment of Xbox players & there own platform/ecosytem/storefront.

Also nice timing with the trailer when someone asked where was the promo material from the Xbox side.

When people talks about Xbox is dead they are talking about Xbox as a hardware platform.

It is obvious they will release Elder of Scrolls 6 in all possible platforms… that is even true after Star Failed.

i'm not a shill, i'm being REAL, something you guys are not, y'all want to live in a fairy land, meanwhile Sony puts games on competing storefronts and has the CEO of the company saying in interviews their future is wherever there is computing
How's Sony's hardware sales, hmmmm? Yeah they're not going anywhere near MS' route anytime soon.
