When gaming executives talk a lot....threads get created. Asha and Xbox execs have been talking a lot. Thus, threads.
Nothing is "sponsored".

When will microsoft learn that the secret is to NOT talk!
Stop doing interviews, stop engaging with the worst of the worst green rats on twitter.
Take the sony and nintendo approach. Do your direct and shut the fuck up.
If they did that then they would be in a much better position imo.

As far as we know, Helix was posed as a their main console, with the features and price of a super premium product. That's a crazy idea. XBOX needs a main console cheaper than PS (even if slightly less powerful) AND great exclusive games.

Without steam it's a useless PC imo.
I doubt she referred to that for new business strategy knowing MS thoughts about it.

Just my 2 cents, we all hang out on a gaming forum and when these execs give these interviews we are going to dissect and discuss everything they say, I have no problem with that partThe problem is that she is being invited to all these places to talk and she's giving the most vague-ist answers she can without going into specifics, likely because they haven't finalized the spec-locked specifics themselves.
Maybe we can also kinda ease up on taking individual quotes from interviews and push news articles from them.
Just a thought.
aka leave the semi attractive multi millionare executive alone . jpeg
I also have no problem with us having civil talks about each other's opinions on what was said
But I do hate these interviews where they literally say nothing

I envision giving players access to an AI prompt UI, let them type in how they want to play a game, and then Xbox will stream the game and auto play it for them.
It's like gen-z who rather gather around a youtuber and watch them play the games.
With this new AI "gaming" players don't have to buy a controller or have high speed broadband

I'm going to push back on that, as some people associate cheaper with less value.

And you counter that perception by having great exclusive games and the revival of IPs like Fallout and TES, which still have millions of fans. By "revival" I mean making a S-tier quality type of game, a system seller. Then, price becomes even more attractive.

I think she's too polished to take the bait, but a follow up question about the significance of the word "just" in her statement needs to be asked. Did she just announce a regular console and Helix effectively, or did she just torpedo Helix?

people don't seem to get it, every time we say on GAF that they need to stop giving money to Valve people act like it's the stupidest thing they ever heard

I have to agree. Please STFU about next-gen and focus on this one.
Buy your Switch 2, PS5 and 6, I'll biy my 1.5K Helix. Thank you and get lost.

Long interviews generally create multiple threads due to the various subjects being covered. Trying to talk about everything said in an interview in a single thread makes little sense.

Well I mean I could write a book about Xbox management mishaps. But it all started with a silly CEO.

Incredibly, Asha is very attractive and also very good at her job. She's doing a great job.
Unlike the mentally retarded CEO they have at PlayStation.

In other words, you hate 80% of every MS exec interview (#there, i said it!) :-D
