The only way to make COD exclusive without breaching the contracts is making it next-gen only for this xbox until PS6 releaseAnnual franchise will be a day one release for new console?
You mean the next generation?
Doubt it
Are generations a thing anymore?
It's not crazy actually. Xbox has collapsed, and they're going to jump into PS5 releases ASAP; possibly this holiday. That's all fine and good, but what they have to do for the existing base is lay out the plan for them. That plan is on PC where they can transition and get the games they're missing out on. I would assume they're going to talk about it publicly fairly soon (at least I would if I was them), because that's the only thing that would justify abandoning all exclusives. The handheld may come before that even.HeisenbergFX4 - what are you hearing on this?
I don't see why any sources worthy of trust would be saying its more than 2 years away. That's crazy talk in light of recent sales. Much better to say nothing if its that far out IMO.
Maybe you're right. But don't manufacturers (including MS and Sony) usually hold off on releasing too much information about upcoming products until they don't feel existing products will slow down or stop selling since people will start waiting for the new product? That's the perspective I am coming from. 2.5 more years of the recent sales reports puts the next Xbox into "why bother" territory I think.It's not crazy actually.

I think the product now is the Xbox Store / ecosystem, not the Xbox Series console (it's not selling anymore). So talking about it early tells existing customers that they can keep buying games on the Xbox store because it's all going to make the jump to PC. They will lose out on future Xbox console sales, but that's gone already. They're putting stuff on PS5 this year.Maybe you're right.

I'm not convinced that they should be signaling this generation is coming to a close right now. But I think you make a good point about putting existing customers at ease to preserve the eco-system.I think the product now is the Xbox Store / ecosystem, not the Xbox Series console (it's not selling anymore).

That's my theory anyway. Seems totally logical. If I know that in 2 years I'm getting some PC that opens up all the other stores, I'd have no regrets still buying games on Xbox and chilling for the next 2 years until then (might be sooner than that for the handheld too). Who knows. Just waiting to see what happens.
Introducing: Project Longitudeso sony releases ps5 pro, MS releases trailers/specs of xbox in 2025 or even late 2024, similar to how they unveiled One X right after the Pro had released at Video Game Awards
60 fps isn't the standard yet, I hope so.The real GTA box
I dunno.Guy has 64k followers so I guess he is well known?
Sony will make tons of contents at that point which is what should we get from the launch, Classic Sony as we know it.so sony releases ps5 pro, MS releases trailers/specs of xbox in 2025 or even late 2024, similar to how they unveiled One X right after the Pro had released at Video Game Awards

Much sooner than that.Of course, but next gen is likely 2028 or 2029
Zero point.What’s the point if it’s just going to be the same people making the decisions behind it?
