uk Next gen plans Just seen the rumour about Microsoft giving up on Xbox hardware in Europe and I’m both shocked and not shocked. At this point it’s obvious that they’re not going to win over hearts in minds in Europe or Japan or anywhere else that hasn’t cared about Xbox for the last 20+ years. It’s just too late.
People are in their ecosystems and Xbox has never broken out of its hardcore ShooterXbox niche. If I was them, I would give up making consoles and I think this is what they’re doing..
. just slowly, in the hope no one will notice. They’ll never make Xbox consoles a hit worldwide, but they do now have a chance to dominate when it comes to cloud gaming.
The biggest thing stopping them is that they’ll push it too quickly, before modern broadband can really take advantage, and sour people on the idea. But I guess we’ll have to see. I’m curious to know what their next gen plans are though.
It’s so hard to imagine them coming out with a new box to go under your TV, given everything that’s happen in the last year or so. So what do they mean when they say they have new hardware? Is this another idea they’re going to U-turn on or are they planning something unexpected? Maybe a line of branded PCs, including a handheld? That would be my gues.
