Xbox considering "OEM" for their next console (confirmed legit)
- Thread starter Bryank75
- Start date
MS is looking for suckers to take off the losses from their books.
Nvidia actually creates their own GPUs though and then licenses them to 3rd party AIBs, Xbox has nothing lmao
Rumor - Xbox going OEM route for next-gen? 3rd party consoles in the making?
So, this has been circulating in a discord I'm a part of which necessarily hasn't been picked up by Xbox community. The person was on the money on Indiana Jones, and is further corroborating about Xbox multi-platform stuff but the most intriguing aspect was on the hardware bit where the poster...

Are Dell suckers for making hardware and selling it? They're one of the top 100 companies in the world. MS is underrated as a hardware maker, but they're clearly not up to mass producing hardware for 50M+ users at slim margins. Arguably an OEM like Samsung or ASUS could be making a better and more profitable Playstation than Playstation.
Sounds about right for MS, they are not a hardware company, and dont want to be, xbox forces them to be a hw company.
Satya must want out of that shit so bad, just sell your software to people that already have the hardware, just like you do with windows.

Man, I love sitting on my couch and pushing a button and immediately jumping to where I left off in my previous game session. No driver issues, no OS updates, no Antivirus warnings, no waiting for Windows to boot or shut down. Just gaming without concern about anything else. I gladly pay a subscription to keep the cheaters and creeps out when I play multiplayer games too.
If the outsourced Xbox can also do that, that’s a great proposition. Good luck selling for a resonable price, though.

Well, as many will say Sony are already a massive electronics company with all the suppliers and economies of scale in that area.... So why not?
They also can use tech research across different parts of the company.

Sony wont. They got tvs to sell and they are great at making hw. Some of the best talent work making consumer products for Sony, been that way for damn near a century.
Oh, no thanks. I don't want to be seen holding one of those.
I call bullshit, this is just cope from Xtards.
It honestly makes zero sense from any angle, business wise.
they are great, they've got a lot of experience navigating the console hardware lifecycle with minor revisions, cost cutting, etc. maybe nobody can do it better. but it is still an intrinsically low margin business.
the point is you can hold whatever you want. steamos solves all the problems you snarked about.
they're jumping the gun talking about day-1, but that's the CEO of SONY talking about Playstation coming to PC. there are Icon posters who think Jim Ryan leaving mean his initiatives were rejected by leadership in Japan. It's not the case.
