Do you think they gon announce the next gen plan this year or next year?

Officially announced?

Next year

Unofficial leaks?

This Fall

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Why would they need to migrate anywhere if the nextbox could possibly play Steam games?

Can we expect an open architecture Xbox similar to the Steam Machines model? would it be impossible ? in your opinion of course

No clue honestly

 

[IntentionalPun]

HeisenbergFX4 w/ what you've heard are we talking a home console, or a lame portable deal?

(FUCK YO PORTABLES)

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

imo everything at the moment points to a Microsoft Machine, Microsoft outsources to companies like Digital Storm and only the Microsoft Machine made by Microsoft would be called Xbox Edition, this would be the most powerful using some Nvidia RTX.

So I guess it's most powerful for contractual reasons?

Think of it as just a chain link like a Nintendo Switch, see we call 'hybrid' something that in practice is the materialization of the death of traditional Nintendo consoles. Microsoft wants to do the same by merging xbox with PC, having the most powerful Microsoft Machine as a reference just so that people change the name PC Gaming to Microsoft Gaming, everything will be exactly as it is today only this name (PC Gaming) tends to be changed killing xbox in the process.

This is just an opinion based on all these rumors, this is a possible conclusion.

This leak is one of the best leaks of all time as far as I'm concerned. It's all coming true.

The most WTF part is when he say "Kojima is finally making a movie".
When I read that, i'm saying.. "yeah, obviously, this list is bullshit, never gonna happen fools"

 

[Dorfdad]

For me...

Dirty old man You know you can’t wait that long and will be playing it on ps5 Pro like the rest of us!

They are on track to do both

 

[m14]

They are on track to do both

Is there any possibility that their next console will support physical media?

 

[Unrivaledx88]

Good for those who are Xbox fans, I’m not interested in a console with not many releases

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

No idea honestly

No because it would hurt Windows sales.

The next Xbox will just be a PC.

Let's say it's 1K for a Nextbox, that's unlikely to be upgradeable, and MS may also want Nextbox owners to pay for internet access the way console types do.

I cannot imagine choosing this over a PC, but let's wait and see. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see it.

Without a doubt we are in an era where the best place to play is on PC, I am in no way arguing against that

Just having talked to some of my Xbox only gamer friends and some will still buy that higher end Xbox/PC and wont switch to full on PC gaming

I have seen a few people here say the same thing

Some may not understand but I guess they don’t have to

It is what it is

It’s been announced already.

Edit: I should add that the majority of the list has since transpired.

And keep in mind guys...... this year's leaks are to push back on the PS5 Pro release and good news. So this makes sense.

 

[ZehDon]

I'm curious to see how Microsoft's "all in" on AI shakes out in their next gaming machines. When Microsoft went heavy on the subscription models, they created Game Pass. That's been a wild ride. NVidia's DLSS has well and truly proven itself, but I'm curious if Microsoft's flirting with their own chips has etched out some other interesting uses for AI in addition to image reconstruction. Could be interesting, or maybe I'm just nostalgic for the days when consoles weren't merely recombinations of identical parts in different coloured boxes.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Cod on Gamepass now, it was a mistake, they could use it as a new factor for the next one. So there is still someone very proud trying to save the doomed Xbox Series

So it means a FUD campaign to stop the PS5 Pro from selling? That didn't stop the PS4 from existing so I don't see how they can hurt the Pro.

Well there is some interesting stuff floating around about ai rendering a scene as you would see it in real time, creating huge savings on gpu and drawing the scene more realistically overall. But the question is, how far are from ai being able to do this 60 times in one second?

Microsoft's designs would largely be cemented at this point. If it's still theoretical, it's not in their console.

What I imagine we'll see is a dedicated NPU, open for developers to utilise, but with baked in options as part of the SDK. Xbox's own image reconstruction, for example. However, I imagine things like AI-powered culling determination, path finding, or asset decompression could also be provided. Those types of advances would give you their "biggest leap ever" because they allow hardware to punch well over its on-paper specs. If you can't squeeze more transistors into the box, then you have to find a way to let the transistors you have be more efficient. Using AI to short-cut taxing aspects of a game loop frees time for more CPU and/or GPU work per frame.
