I feel MS is doing OEM to kill off xbox. Market crash in 1983 was cause of console saturation and crap games. They will make like 5 OEM xbox and in 3 years cancel them and port everything to PS5/PS6 and Nintendo and the fans will be fine and blame the market, not MS.

While I think this is a great idea developers must be thrilled about developing game with a dozen different Xbox configurations.

There's nothing unusual about this. A recent survey showed 62% of developers are "most interested" in the PC platform. By comparison only 41% said PS5. Virtually every studio recently acquired by Microsoft published on PC before the acquisition.

Yeah but Xbox One is also ranked above PS4. X1 isn't in production anymore whereas the PS4 still gets recent ports, like both SF6 and RE4. Both of which aren't on X1.

PC also gets most Indies first and it's a lot harder to get on console if you're not backed by a publisher so seeing PC tank top isn't really a surprise.

Do we know how many people interviewed are indie developers
We know exactly how many:

not sure why it should be easier for an indie team to "support dozens of different hardware configurations" than a team backed by a major publisher with a budget in the tens of millions.

This makes no sense to me lol, prebuilt gaming PC companies pretty much already do this. Some of them like Cyberpower even come with 3-6 months of GamePass free when you buy a PC.
When has competition ever stopped a business from trying?

All the time actually - which is why you only have 3 console manufacturers, 2 major OS on "PC" (Windows/Mac), and 4 major hardware vendors (AMD, Nvidia, Intel, ARM).

The idea is idiotic and I'm on the fake, throw at the wall some bullshit camp.

Great for forum engagement, that's about it.

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.
This sounds good in an xbox echo chamber. Unlike the 90's and PC space.Xbox OS is not the dominant ,only player around ,it is the weakest player in console space. Its is on decline so badly. They are are also cancelling hard copy disks. Nobody is gonna go pick up an Asus/samsung/toshiba box to play Xbox games.

These guys can't even sell a box at ÂŁ130-150. But Asus/samsung will? With a dying brand?? Samsung having trouble selling phones but will now sell Xbox how?? Who's wasting marketing budgets to sell oem xboxes. When trillion dollar MSbudget cant get sales.

This is funny as hell.PS won. Just bend the knee. And negotiate preload of xbox gamepass on every device.

yeah, it is crazy, how people thinks it is good idea.


just move from hardware smoothly to 3rd party and be done with that.
