We’ve heard that before huh?

 

[bender]

Time to get their bronze medal ready.

Some folks were definitely hoping for the opposite.

Neogaf Sony fanboys with the Arthur first rn.

Competition = Great for everyone.

But when will they start making games for the current console?

Asking for a friend.

 

[mansoor1980]

they want to replicate the 360 era success
early launch etc
maybe a GTA6 money hat

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This what Damage Control looks like

 

[German Hops]

Wtf??

The tide has completely turned..

 

[adamsapple]

By the way this is just reiterating the same Sarah Bond email quoted we already have multiple separate threads about.

 

[Pelta88]

New hardware won’t address the systemic issues with the brand itself.

 

[T8SC]

 

[jm89]

 

[TintoConCasera]

wtf, feels like the gen just barely started.

 

[semiconscious]

'the name's bond. sarah bond'...

 

[Arsic]

Time to get their bronze medal ready.

Participation trophy at best.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

wtf, feels like the gen just barely started.

I can bet they are going to announce some hardware/project in their next showcase.

 

[Unknown?]

Won't work. Launching early will do more damage and won't have the big leap that 360 was from the original.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Console manufacturer is making a new console. Shocker!

 

[Negotiator101]

I can bet they are going to announce some hardware/project in their next showcase.

How much?

So?. people need to understand once and for all Xkox is here to stay as platform holder... right?

Hell yeah brother, glad we're on the same page there.

But I'm just saying this is a duplicate thread.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

How much?

i already have a bet with myself for Stellar Blade's MC score.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Sony should do the same and ditch the Pro.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

just do almost everything differently and im in

 

[Skifi28]

The "most powerful console" thing has never really worked for them, maybe hardware is not the issue? Yet it's what they keep focusing on. You launched a new generation early, cool, how does that solve the issue of your consoles not selling?

Edit: when you jump too early, I'd say you also risk alienating your existing fans that might feel it's too soon for new hardware.

we need to drive home that Xbox is going nowhere. so, the more threads the merrier.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity.


At some point they have to realize that this "most powerful console" shit isn't working for them, right?

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Sony should do the same and ditch the Pro.

Sony is already working on the PS6. The Pro is something to extend the life of the PS5 and drive more revenue. They aren't gonna ditch the PS5 because unlike Xbox that's a total failure the PS5 is still selling very well.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That reminded me of when Major Nelson claimed MGSV was Xbox exclusive.

They don’t need to ditch the PS5. There will never be a generation cutoff again. Crossgen will be around until game streaming takes over.

 

[apple_of_enlightenment]

It's a switch deck, they basically already said

When did they launch a new generation early?

I don't think the solution is to launch a weaker console than the competition.

 

[GHG]

The transparency of the disdain for the PS5 Pro is off the charts.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

When did they launch a new generation early?

360

some would say

 

[yazenov]

Yay? Sales threads are going to be extremely fun again. It's no fun when it's a one-way traffic. I hope they can put up a fight this time

MS hasn't been competition in over a decade. they have been getting annialated in sales.

 

[kevm3]

We haven't even got off of cross-gen games and they already want to launch a new console? Nah. I feel the same way about that PS5 pro as well.

 

[tmlDan]

this thread title and article is acting like new news? its old ass news lol

Also, nothing in that article says they're going full steam ahead with a new gen (early) lol

They've been using "game preservation" or "backwards compatibility" as a talking point for the series consoles lol

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I don't think the solution is to launch a weaker console than the competition.

It isn't. The solution is better games.

Their problem has never been about hardware.

 

[Crayon]

Idk. Maybe more limited edition controllers is the way to go.

 

[Arsic]

It isn't. The solution is better games.

Yep. The Xbox has always been an attractive product each generation.

The issue this gen more than ever is no killer apps.

At least back when it was Halo, Forza, Gears, and Fable you had 4 good reasons to own one even if a PlayStation or PC was your main platform.

They needed to keep the momentum on those IPs while just injecting more to grow a real portfolio.

 

[Badlucktroll]

As we eagerly await Xbox to ride off into the sunset, we must now take this time to reflect and ponder

What hasn't helped them is having the less powerful console....(Remenber XBO)

Yes, having the most powerful hardware does not guarantee anything, but helps or at least doesn't hurt. Especially when 90% of the console catalog is multiplatform.

 

[lh032]

they want to be the 1st in next gen race

; )

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

OP is trying to stretch an owl on a huge ass globe. And it's old news already.

 

[ChiefDada]

wtf, feels like the gen just barely started.

Especially for Xbox.

 

[ReyBrujo]

The Pro is something to extend the life of the PS5 and drive more revenue.

Like a 32x? Or a Sega CD?

 

[NEbeast]

Because releasing the strongest console on the market has helped in the past. Its baffling how the xbros keep doing this every generation, you fuckers love being shafted by Microsoft.

 

[Drell]

We saw how it went for Sega with the Dreamcast...

Well the only difference here is that MS can do that again and again and again thanks to their inifnite money. Let's see when Satiya or whoever is the CEO will get tired of this.
