Honestly, they kind of need to go into a Nintendo route and start innovating again, rather than just making another underpowered pc with crappy UI and zero exclusives Edit 1- MOM GET THE CAMERA Edit 2- for the people who say exclusives are crap, look at the massive success of nintendo, who dont have other buisnesses to get money from

Microsoft needs to make a high powered console that is capable of running Blumpo Remastered

Microsoft should focus on making an open platform console. Something that runs Windows and can operate as a personal computing device. We could call it the "perfect console" or "PC" for short.

I felt like the Series X just came out and we're talking about the next one?!

I remember that weird era at the end of the PS2's life cycle where games would be made for every console on the market. It was crazy to walk into a store and see copies of the same game designed for the PS2, PS3, and PS4 along with the 360 and One, Wii, and a stripped down version for the DS which was a little more than a mobile game. There was also this trend to have each version have its own exclusive character or features. One of the Soul Caliber games came out on all three major consoles, and each of them had an exclusive character only for that version: Link for the GameCube, Darth Vader and Yoda for the Xbox, and Heihachi for the PlayStation if I remember correctly. EDIT: Stinger pointed out that it was Spawn for the XBOX version, and Vader/Yoda was a later release.

We’re definitely witnessing the end of the PlayStation vs Xbox vs Nintendo status quo

I feel like the next console should incorporate elements from the 360 days. Make avatars a focus again, have a fully customisable UI, bring back the varying colour schemes, make the console itself feel like THE ultimate console. The 360 had a great balance of AAA (back when they were of higher quality imo) and a large library of indies on the Xbox Live Arcade. Make gaming feel lively again

Your forgetting the biggest draw of pc: you can have one powerful station for work and gaming. Which makes the investment worth it for a lot of people, since they likely need a computer for work and school anyway.

22:40 If MS does this, then every console manufacturer now has their own identity. Nintendo for the hybrid, Sony for traditional, and Microsoft for this quasi-console PC thing.

The Xbox naming convention also isn't helping.

They need to innovate again, I see zero reason of getting a console when I can play the same exact games on my PC!

This video just came out 4 mins ago and already people are putting their opinions in before finishing the video. Classic.

Microsoft should release an official Xbox Original/360/One emulator with ROMs that can be legally purchased instead (similar to GOG, but Xbox). Then allow the community create extensions for that emulator. I'll buy that!

They shot themselves in the foot by refusing to let their high powered console actually play at its peak.

Xbox marketing issues can't be overstated. I'm a PC and PS5 gamer and I still don't know which Xbox is the latest one, the series S or Series X. Yes I could look it up in 2 seconds but the point is that I SHOULD be able to tell with the name alone and I simply don't know. Now maybe I would know the difference if they had any exclusives that would justify me searching it up, but as you mentioned their exclusives are pretty lackluster. Both of these issues combined, the marketing and lack of exclusives are huge IMO.

Imo I feel like having an upgradable Xbox that you can use as both a computer and a console would be cool. Just every year offer different parts that you could use to upgrade the system and have it all streamlined to be easy for normies to use. That way you only release a "new" console every decade or so. A hybrid console, but instead of a Switch like mobile/console hybrid, you'd go on the other end and have a hybrid console and PC that you could use both for if you only wanted one. That's probably what I would do as a designer for the new Xbox.

Gotta love how the doom and gloom for the console market completely ignores Nintendo who are doing better than they ever have before. Yeah, yeah, argument that they aren't directly competing, but the Switch is also clowning on almost every system ever released and might even beat the PS2 for units sold.

Tyler, one thing that could throw a wrench in it all is the fact that Michael Soft may push for more budget cuts for the Xbox division

how do you continue to grow in a finite system?
