Defining Duke, Episode 233 | ONE MORE CONSOLE! - Xbox Reveals Next Gen Details...
🕑 Added 2025-06-19 16:00:19 +0000 UTCThe green team is sticking with making hardware. Consoles, handhelds, maybe even more. They're in! In a push to put their games in more places than ever alongside a massive decline in Series console sales, the understanding was Xbox has no place in the hardware business and may as well bow out. With today's news, it appears to be quite the opposite. Alongside this news presented by Xbox President, Sarah Bond, we also learned there will be more storefronts and games will continue to go everywhere. The moves made by Xbox have even extracted comments out of PlayStation execs during a fireside chat about their financials. As they continue to turn heads, we'll do our best to unpack how this even makes sense for Xbox.

You guys are giving too much credit to that online Randy Borderlands price conversation

The capture situation is a must needed improvement for next console. Even if they just copy what PS does right now. Based on the current lineup, I don’t see Xbox with a GOTY yet. #DDHardware

Wasn't that 3.5m figure for FF16 BS, considering it sold 3m at launch. Also, Rebirth probably sold even less so sales aren't indicative of quality.

So I'm understanding Xbox strategy, through the eyes of Cog... Make no money off of store fronts, by having multiple? Sell the console for $1000? This is there winning strategy? Guys.... You're better than this.
