If they do it right, they should offer the PS5 style of adding your own M.2 style SSDs but also have a slot for the Xbox propriety ones they have been pushing with this gen of the console. Seems wrong to make them obsolete for those staying on the platform for another generation.
The storage is coming down in price and has some competition now. At least it’s guaranteed performance and plug and play unlike PS5 solution - which has more caveats than a RAM matrix.

I see people say they just want quality games. But what they mean is high reviewed games. There are plenty of quality fun games. They just refuse to play them because it doesn't review well enough for them.
In my personal opinion... I think at some point, both Xbox and Playstation will completely move over to PC. I think this Xbox Dashboard will be the interface when jumping to PC, with Playstation to do the same. Nintendo will be the last holdout, but I think they'll hold out for a very long time. When the next generation gets here, they need to no longer make games for the current generation, so it doesn't hold back the next one(because that's a huge problem right now). This might be an even more controversial take, but I think the 10th generation should be the last. Have the first half working out the kinks, with the second half migrating over to PC. I haven't owned a gaming PC for years, and I've been playing on Consoles since I was 5 years old in 1989. I will always have a love for the Consoles I grew up with, and have so many fond memories, but with PC gaming being cheaper in the longterm, not having to pay to play online, the ability to upgrade individual parts, cheaper games. The day is coming where it will be all on PC. Phil Spence doesn't like exclusives anyway, so this seems like the next logical step for Xbox. I think Playstation will follow, mainly because they're pretty much out of the competition if they don't. But that's just me.
@@Wiktorino1984 They do, but both Xbox and PlayStation already feel like PC's and exclusives are becoming a thing of the past. So, they mine as well go ahead and move in that direction first.
@@Celerott Consoles what we already know lost in market becose nobody wants pay for multiplayer and people wants choice what online shop you using. If they made mini computer for TV in good price then Im buyed for many reasons.
The Steel series arctis nova pro you can. the xbox version has 2 usb c ports. One port for xbox and the other port works on the ps5 and pc. but it is pricy. I bought it just for that reason though
And besides the steelseries you can get the Razer Barracuda X (2022) not earlier due to compatibility issues and battery life. Also you get like 50hrs of wireless battery and unpluggable mic so you can use them as normal headphones on the streets. Plus 80USD price tag 😬
arctis nova pro; I have this connected to my PC through BT dongle and then connected to my laptop (that sit to the left of my keyboard on a laptop stand) through BT. I can move to the couch and they hook to my Xbox as well. I have a PS but like... I have a 4090 and disposable income, why tf would I play the console version of a PS game if I can play it on steam
I remember the 360 came out and I thought it was ridiculous that it didnt run some sort of xp. Kids in school play xbox. They probably don't have enough money to buy a school device, gaming PC, and xbox. Additionally, I'm excited to finally have games properly optimized across PC and Xbox . Unifying the software and hardware will allow developers to fully leverage the newest technology while still providing quality support for low end hardware.
Xbox series console has ML blocks ( ai, visuals, framerate etc ) that aren't being used... mass features like Direct storage Virtual memory SFS VRS2.0 Mesh shading Workgraphs, All things box marketed and have yet to make either available or developers don't use.. what make ya think the next console gonna be any different...
Xbox has completely abandoned power and performance and opted for accessibility probably should have done that a long time ago. Let pcs be xbox and offer cheap entry level devices
I don't think anyone in the gaming press understands how hard Microsoft is going on Windows on Arm. Colt's reporting fits really well into the overall picture. An ARM based Xbox handheld makes a lot of sense.
I still prefer console. Here's an example why; I bought a new PC to replace my old one, but when I tried moving my downloaded games over, I experienced a major headache trying to get my games to work. Issues like failing to download or recognize the license, the inability of the new PC to see all the files so they registered as missing, etc. PC gaming has definitely come a long way from the 90's, but whole new issues seem to exist.
@@ME-yb2lm I have never heard of that. Even when I built my pc all my games from steam and Xbox synced. Also, if you are experiencing such why didnt you just remove the drive out of your older pc? Just asking?
@@mrdappernature8861 I kept my games stored on an external because I assumed it'd be like the old days. Take my storage device and just plug and play. This situation was something I didn't think I'd encounter.
I mean it is basically a pc but cheaper and made only for games I assume and it also means Xbox will sell better than ps6 since it will eventually have all the games the ps5 will have
@belalaly5699 until they come out with some bullshit series s version of it. Then clown the rest of the xbox population because developers have to take a year longer to work with even more outdated shit. Idk man, you play Cyberpunk max settings on a 4090 with path tracing and real ray tracing at 100FPS at 1440, can't really go back to 30 FPS and muddled down shit.
It's a stupid move. It should Exclusive to Xbox for a year until Game Pass Standard gets the game. It breaks promises made for Console and Game Pass for years
Im a 100% xbox guy Colt and people, but I'm getting to the point where im not so sure I need a console. I could pony up and buy a 1500-2000 pc to be for content creation and games, but would that survive 2-3 Console Generations? I still have a pc that runs a Nvidia 660TI graphics card that I've given to my daughter to get into gaming, but now im think i should just get a souped up PC and call it a day using my xbox controller. Whats the community take on this. Have any of you switched to pc for xbox gaming? I likely would still buy every xbox console gen 😅
So basically, what Microsoft claimed they would try to do with the Xbox One but failed miserably: a Windows based console. The difference this time is, they might actually have the tech and know-how to get it done. Can't wait to see how it works out.
Been well over a month now since you made a regular video upload. First started watching you about 4 years ago. Right after I pre-ordered the Series X (was on PS4 only all the previous gen). Your videos were so well hyped, like you really got people super pumped for the upcoming generation. Well timed fast beat music coming in at just the right moment, real slick and snazzy editing etc. But flash forward 4 years and things have become rather tragic. I guess Microsoft have made it increasingly difficult for you to produce videos of that nature, especially over the course of this year. Guess we just don't know what Xbox is anymore. Went from a single identity, to an echo system that involved PC to now just being some kind of "idea" .... an entity of some sorts, that may or may not do this or that, or may be here or there.
Ima stick with my pc. Ive been hearing rumors about this since the Xbox one X/S dropped and they haven’t fully utilized its potential yet. And there still dropping hints of this supposedly happening. So I’m not getting my hopes up. They just need to slow down and stop optimizing everything for the previous generation. Because that’s the only thing stopping us from getting a game that utilizes the new generation console’s capabilities once they do that then I’ll be interested in the next generation or hybrid console.
Silly idea. For me even if they did this hybrid/pc console. Id only use it as a console and a console only. Ive never had any issues with games on the xboxs.
It's just a pc with an xbox layover, that is not a console and not revolutionary. It's the death of the Xbox console and they port you over to a pc, an area where they already are.
If it is true, I would like it to have all of the same in peripheral compatibility as PC. Like native mouse and keyboard for the PC games as well as all Xbox games. Native 1 2 4 and 8k polling rate and the absence of forced mouse acceleration. Also, include the windows mouse settings, such as disabling enhanced pointer precision.
Idk, how will this work exactly if it’s a hybrid? Will they completely remove Gamepass core since PC players don’t need to pay for online? How will you choose the game to buy/play? If it’s a hybrid, there will be the xbox console store, the Windows PC store, the epic and Steam store etc. all having the same game.
It'd be cool if they took their surface laptops and made it into a cheap gaming PC(Console) with interchangeable parts. People would then also be able to perform their own repairs.
That's why I have a PC. There are a lot more games/ independent developers. Some of the most fun I have ever had with a video game has come from studios with 10 or fewer people, and they only cost at the most $40.
The XB brand is dead in the water. I’m personally done with the brand after 22yrs. Moved over to PS, the XB team is awful, the “exclusives” are of poor quality. Lack of management. Phill is awful at his job the ecosystem is quickly leaving.
The Xbox 360 was peak Xbox. From 2013, it's been nothing but disappointment. If Nintendo could bounce back from the Wii-U, Microsoft could've bounced Xbox back from E3 2013
@@tkraft1442 yeah, I listened while washing my model S, what’s wrong with that? I’m providing an accurate estimate of the XB brand today. Honestly, it’s a shame. The box was a banger under Peter Moore 2004-2008, he was a beast that pushed the brand! Now they got Phil, that guy is a total weenie and took the brand to the bottom of the sea. Enjoy!
If the next Xbox uses ARM. then the games should run natively on Macs. For example, using VMware with Win 11 on a MacBook Pro M1, nearly all PC Game Pass games will not install. Because it’s ARM architecture. Hopefully with new Xbox using ARM, and thus all Xbox games working on ARM, a native Game Pass for Mac might just become a thing 🙏
If they do a hybrid I'm first in line. Can't beat Steam sales and my gamer score comes with me along with all of my Xbox catalog! I love console because I can just play. I'm new to PC gaming and I want that kind of ease. No more fiddling with settings. If people want to do that I don't have a problem, give them that option. I just want a setting when gaming on PC that says console setting. I don't need to adjust every option.
I don't mind if They make a Xbox /PC Hybrid! Just hoping VR is not Ignored! Weather I Buy the next Xbox or go PC for a change, one thing is Certain! I need Halflife Alxy! 100% Come on Xbox! Make it happen! I can't be the Only Console Gamer who wants this!
been saying for a while now that PS and Xbox need to start implementing PC aspects into their systems. i’m glad xbox is doing this, will actually entice me to purchase gamepass on my computer to try out their games
Technically the Xbox is already a PC Hybrid, so they just changed the marketing pitch point on it lol. With Xbox One, MS wanted companies to adopt it for PowerPoint presentations, Skyping and the like. All this does is restrict PC player's control over their games. You can't even add an Xbox App/ Gamepass game to Nvidia Control Panel or Radeon Settings, to manually change graphics post processing: anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, anti-lag etc. And enable things like DSR (supersampling) etc. Much less applying mods to games that don't officially support it, like Jedi Survivor, or performing a simple CFG/ INI tweak to enhance draw distance or allocate more VRAM to a thing (things that even fix our own stuttering/ crash fix issues, when developers can't address them themselves) because Xbox App games living in a super encrypted directory you can't do anything with. So, yeah this will win the PC community over really well lol: Who all wants no access to anything? No control over anything? ME ME ME ME! Nope, for MS to takeover its own PC scene they're going to have to take Steam and GOG out of the equation, the last bastions of PC gaming freedom, and sadly they will. All they need to do is temporarily team up with Sony, EA, UBI (competing services) to disallow any more of their games to come over to Steam and you've pretty much stamped out Steam, and Steam will be limited to independent games and the ones that are good will get bought out by one of the bigger publishers, including MS themselves. Steam isn't publicly traded, so I don't think they can be bought in the traditional sense, or MS would have done that around 2004. As much as it would hurt me to see Steam die, or dissolved into Gamepass? I also wouldn't feel bad because Steam had an opportunity to get into the Steam gaming console market and didn't do it. It paved the way to a promising Linux gaming scene by result. I'm still pissed at them for teasing us on that and then going "nope, never mind." And all but abandoning SteamOS. We almost got a glimpse of non-MS desktop gaming. Oh and one last thing? The new Xbox will be a Co-Pilot PC, so don't look embarrassing stuff up on it (you know what I'm talking about). Co-Pilot PC's take screenshots of your activity every few seconds and sends it back to HQ.
I agree, I hope Xbox. Does this because I think it will be a great benefit for all gamers. Council wars is such a letdown due to the fact that there shouldn't be any fighting and gaming. Gamers across the world should unite and be one. Don't get me wrong. I own all three consoles, but I don't do the council war thing. My main thing is how the company treats there.Gamers. I have to say that xbox is doing their best for their gamers. I am disappointed in sony the company on way.They treat their gamers. Also, nintendo's not bad, but they need to improve also. I always follow the golden rule of being nice to other gamers and their beliefs and I try not to get into the council war thing. Fighting over which council is better? It is a waste of time when we can all game together.
This is going to be great! I wonder if you'd be able to switch to Windows desktop and utilize the device's power to run heavy-duty apps, like video editors.
That would be a fantastic console option. For me, I'm at my desk most of the day, so when I'm gaming, I just want to kick back on my couch with a controller instead of being tethered to my desk.
I built a hybrid xbox its called a form factor gaming PC size of a ps5. Have it hook to my oled TV running steam big picture mode and set it up to boot up in big picture mode. If Microsoft is doing this it means they are exiting the console market. You can call it anything you want colt but it isnt a console.
Exactly. People keep calling it a hybrid PC/console, but really, why would Microsoft continue to spend money developing games for both Xbox and PC when they can just make games for PC and release their own gaming PC hardware and call it Xbox? And with Xbox One games already on PC (except Halo 5, but who cares about Halo 5), all Microsoft needs for backward compatibility are Xbox and Xbox 360 emulators. Then they can start selling Xbox and Xbox 360 games to the PC crowd.
As someone who has only ever gamed on console, I would LOVE a hybrid. Hell, I would love to be able to buy a gaming PC that was prebuilt with solid tech, but I am as ignorant as they come. I’d worry that I would spend $12-$1500 on something that wasn’t optimized for the games I’d wanna play. I’ll definitely take the plunge at some point when I have more disposable income.
We use cloud gaming to play together using xbox one and the graphics are better than series s. It would be interesting to see what a system could do with hardware built to work in conjunction with cloud
Until I see the games and it’s 100% confirmed by Microsoft, I won’t allow myself to get all hyped up and be made a fool again. I learned my lesson. This sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking and this is coming from a gamer that’s been there since day one.
I wonder if you could upgrade the hardware in the new xbox as you can with the PC? It would be cool if you could swap out the graphics card, SSD and the RAM
I will never stop yelling at the top of my lungs it's so important we support the only console maker in North America 🌎 (Xbox) without them it's only Japanese consoles or PC
This is exciting BUT if this new console can't run the original Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3 its worthless to me. The fact OG Halo CE and 2 are not backwards compat is criminal since those games are the reason Xbox took off. To those who say "just play MCC" it's not the same at all lol Great Video!
All I want to see are games that are extremely large in data utilize SSD instead of disk. The option of downloading the game is nice, but large games take up a good portion of your storage, and Cloud Gaming requires fiber internet to be any good. But having a 3rd option would be amazing for storage capabilities. With the SSD being able to hold a massive amount of data and build in processors within a small package opens opportunities for the future of gaming. Not every game has to be on a SSD just the ones that need it.
This would be a smart move. Maybe I'd like the Xbox dashboard on my pc? Along with the potential library of old games? Sounds inviting I gotta admit. I have a ps5 but it sits. I prefer my pc, have a one x but it sits also lol.
Wrong. It's a budget PC that's going to have games optimized for it just like a console. Thus, instead of it being "console" having better optimization, it'll be better for PC across the board No more "optimizing games made for console, to work better on PC", when this "PC" will be the new base level for optimization.
Im all for it as long as it's a console and plays Xbox games along with the ability to play any PC game. There have been so many PC games I wish came to console. This would be a game changer for console players. The only downfall would be console players playing on PC with the amount of cheaters that plague the PC community has been my biggest turn off from even getting a PC to play the games.
They better make this come to life, everyone should have had at least one thought to why Xbox doesn't run windows as it's made from microsoft themselves.
This would still be a hard sale for me. I still have all my old xbox consoles and i got rid of my new xbox for a PC. Once Microsoft made every xbox release compatible with the PC i just didnt see a point to xbox. Whatever the case I hope the next console's add ultra wide support. Its no going back to 16:9 for me. Also once i added the steam deck emulator to my PC it organizers EVERY console on steam. You can play 360, PS2 ,3, game cube, N64 games at 64 FPS and beyond.

When the next generation gets here, they need to no longer make games for the current generation, so it doesn't hold back the next one(because that's a huge problem right now).
This might be an even more controversial take, but I think the 10th generation should be the last. Have the first half working out the kinks, with the second half migrating over to PC.
I haven't owned a gaming PC for years, and I've been playing on Consoles since I was 5 years old in 1989. I will always have a love for the Consoles I grew up with, and have so many fond memories, but with PC gaming being cheaper in the longterm, not having to pay to play online, the ability to upgrade individual parts, cheaper games. The day is coming where it will be all on PC. Phil Spence doesn't like exclusives anyway, so this seems like the next logical step for Xbox. I think Playstation will follow, mainly because they're pretty much out of the competition if they don't. But that's just me.
Did you get an NES for Xmas 89 like me?
Yes but microsoft own Windows and they have better tools for make it better.
@@jamesneely541 I got an Atari 2600. NES was my second console, then the Sega Genesis.
@@Wiktorino1984 They do, but both Xbox and PlayStation already feel like PC's and exclusives are becoming a thing of the past. So, they mine as well go ahead and move in that direction first.
@@Celerott Consoles what we already know lost in market becose nobody wants pay for multiplayer and people wants choice what online shop you using. If they made mini computer for TV in good price then Im buyed for many reasons.
The future of gaming is so exciting! Gaming all-in-one place? Yes sir I will take it 😁 Awesome video bro.
For old school gamers like me that likes to buy physical games, I wonder how it will work or if we will be screwed
We’ll be screwed.
its screwed its a marketing story liek PS5 Pro
I want a damn headset that I can hook up to my PC, Xbox and PlayStation dammit lol
The Steel series arctis nova pro you can. the xbox version has 2 usb c ports. One port for xbox and the other port works on the ps5 and pc. but it is pricy. I bought it just for that reason though
And besides the steelseries you can get the Razer Barracuda X (2022) not earlier due to compatibility issues and battery life. Also you get like 50hrs of wireless battery and unpluggable mic so you can use them as normal headphones on the streets. Plus 80USD price tag 😬
And works both Wireless (USB - A dongle), bluetooth & wired.
arctis nova pro; I have this connected to my PC through BT dongle and then connected to my laptop (that sit to the left of my keyboard on a laptop stand) through BT. I can move to the couch and they hook to my Xbox as well. I have a PS but like... I have a 4090 and disposable income, why tf would I play the console version of a PS game if I can play it on steam
@@mrbuIIets thanks I’ll look into that! I’m guessing it’s 300$
So the main question is will they provide discs?
Nope.
no will be digital
I remember the 360 came out and I thought it was ridiculous that it didnt run some sort of xp. Kids in school play xbox. They probably don't have enough money to buy a school device, gaming PC, and xbox. Additionally, I'm excited to finally have games properly optimized across PC and Xbox . Unifying the software and hardware will allow developers to fully leverage the newest technology while still providing quality support for low end hardware.
Colt doesnt get enough credit for his editing and quality standards. Good stuff🔥 Excited for the future of further Xbox/PC integration!
@@RealTroyE23 and exactly how do you know he doesn't?
Thanks! @RealTroyE23
Will they fix the over heating issues?
And they should make online game play FREE!!!
Xbox series console has ML blocks ( ai, visuals, framerate etc ) that aren't being used... mass features like
Direct storage
Virtual memory
SFS
VRS2.0
Mesh shading
Workgraphs,
All things box marketed and have yet to make either available or developers don't use.. what make ya think the next console gonna be any different...
Colt put out a video this late oh yeah it's about to be a good one
Xbox has completely abandoned power and performance and opted for accessibility probably should have done that a long time ago. Let pcs be xbox and offer cheap entry level devices
I believe eventually xbox will make custom Pc's just to step on all the competition out there.
I don't think anyone in the gaming press understands how hard Microsoft is going on Windows on Arm. Colt's reporting fits really well into the overall picture.
An ARM based Xbox handheld makes a lot of sense.
$2000 😂 for glitched games and crashes on windows/Xbox, bad updates...
@@econoinner_force954 ARM based Windows is going to be superior to X86 in performance and power.
I switched to a PC late last year and it's been much better than a console for me.
I still prefer console. Here's an example why; I bought a new PC to replace my old one, but when I tried moving my downloaded games over, I experienced a major headache trying to get my games to work. Issues like failing to download or recognize the license, the inability of the new PC to see all the files so they registered as missing, etc. PC gaming has definitely come a long way from the 90's, but whole new issues seem to exist.
That’s the way. Only the components costs are very bad. But PC is the best platform. PC + Valve Steam = best. 🎉
@@ME-yb2lm I have never heard of that. Even when I built my pc all my games from steam and Xbox synced. Also, if you are experiencing such why didnt you just remove the drive out of your older pc? Just asking?
@@mrdappernature8861 I kept my games stored on an external because I assumed it'd be like the old days. Take my storage device and just plug and play. This situation was something I didn't think I'd encounter.
@@mrdappernature8861 I don't know if my response went through. My side is blank.
Why wouldn't you just buy a PC at that point? You're obviously not going to be able to run every game at 120FPS like you can on PC now.
I mean it is basically a pc but cheaper and made only for games I assume and it also means Xbox will sell better than ps6 since it will eventually have all the games the ps5 will have
@belalaly5699 until they come out with some bullshit series s version of it. Then clown the rest of the xbox population because developers have to take a year longer to work with even more outdated shit. Idk man, you play Cyberpunk max settings on a 4090 with path tracing and real ray tracing at 100FPS at 1440, can't really go back to 30 FPS and muddled down shit.
Soooooooo, what you think of that Indiana Jones going to other consoles?
It's a stupid move. It should Exclusive to Xbox for a year until Game Pass Standard gets the game. It breaks promises made for Console and Game Pass for years
Im a 100% xbox guy Colt and people, but I'm getting to the point where im not so sure I need a console. I could pony up and buy a 1500-2000 pc to be for content creation and games, but would that survive 2-3 Console Generations? I still have a pc that runs a Nvidia 660TI graphics card that I've given to my daughter to get into gaming, but now im think i should just get a souped up PC and call it a day using my xbox controller. Whats the community take on this. Have any of you switched to pc for xbox gaming? I likely would still buy every xbox console gen 😅
Switched in 2019. Realised it was so much better all the games are available on launch day and I can play highest settings
@@ashleymarchant4175 i appreciate that. Have you had to upgrade your graphics card from 2019?
Will we be able to play PC VR (Meta quest 3) on it? If so this will be a game changer.
So basically, what Microsoft claimed they would try to do with the Xbox One but failed miserably: a Windows based console. The difference this time is, they might actually have the tech and know-how to get it done. Can't wait to see how it works out.
Been well over a month now since you made a regular video upload.
First started watching you about 4 years ago. Right after I pre-ordered the Series X (was on PS4 only all the previous gen).
Your videos were so well hyped, like you really got people super pumped for the upcoming generation. Well timed fast beat music coming in at just the right moment, real slick and snazzy editing etc.
But flash forward 4 years and things have become rather tragic. I guess Microsoft have made it increasingly difficult for you to produce videos of that nature, especially over the course of this year.
Guess we just don't know what Xbox is anymore. Went from a single identity, to an echo system that involved PC to now just being some kind of "idea" .... an entity of some sorts, that may or may not do this or that, or may be here or there.
I've never gone this long without making a video, but this end of summer has been extremely busy with PAX, Outings and Vacation with my family.
Ima stick with my pc. Ive been hearing rumors about this since the Xbox one X/S dropped and they haven’t fully utilized its potential yet. And there still dropping hints of this supposedly happening. So I’m not getting my hopes up. They just need to slow down and stop optimizing everything for the previous generation. Because that’s the only thing stopping us from getting a game that utilizes the new generation console’s capabilities once they do that then I’ll be interested in the next generation or hybrid console.
I don’t know what y’all smoke on but this generation is the best Xbox generation ever………………..❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎❎so far.
I agree. There are a lot of good games out.
Silly idea. For me even if they did this hybrid/pc console. Id only use it as a console and a console only. Ive never had any issues with games on the xboxs.
It's just a pc with an xbox layover, that is not a console and not revolutionary. It's the death of the Xbox console and they port you over to a pc, an area where they already are.
If it is true, I would like it to have all of the same in peripheral compatibility as PC. Like native mouse and keyboard for the PC games as well as all Xbox games. Native 1 2 4 and 8k polling rate and the absence of forced mouse acceleration. Also, include the windows mouse settings, such as disabling enhanced pointer precision.
Yall been saying this for the past 15 years
cap but ok
Idk, how will this work exactly if it’s a hybrid? Will they completely remove Gamepass core since PC players don’t need to pay for online? How will you choose the game to buy/play? If it’s a hybrid, there will be the xbox console store, the Windows PC store, the epic and Steam store etc. all having the same game.
XBox becomming a PC would end the PS
It already is! I already have windows apps and also do photoshop and programming on my Xbox!
It'd be cool if they took their surface laptops and made it into a cheap gaming PC(Console) with interchangeable parts. People would then also be able to perform their own repairs.
I just want games that are not "woke." I feel like more than 90% of games are like that now. Weird characters that don't fit with the game.
What does woke mean?
That's why I have a PC. There are a lot more games/ independent developers. Some of the most fun I have ever had with a video game has come from studios with 10 or fewer people, and they only cost at the most $40.
@CarlosFontes Basically when you inject unnecessary mostly progressive agendas or diversity at the cost of story or making a fun game.
@@GreggBennett-ki6yd What kind of progressive agendas?
Carlos like a transvestite or a feminine dude in a game
I think it's the opposite if what console gamers are looking for
❤❤
The XB brand is dead in the water. I’m personally done with the brand after 22yrs. Moved over to PS, the XB team is awful, the “exclusives” are of poor quality. Lack of management. Phill is awful at his job the ecosystem is quickly leaving.
Nobody cares about you playing that garbage ps trash . You wack ponies always hating. Go play that trash concord 😂😂😂😂😂
And stil u are here for Xbox news 🤣
The Xbox 360 was peak Xbox. From 2013, it's been nothing but disappointment. If Nintendo could bounce back from the Wii-U, Microsoft could've bounced Xbox back from E3 2013
@@tkraft1442 yeah, I listened while washing my model S, what’s wrong with that? I’m providing an accurate estimate of the XB brand today. Honestly, it’s a shame. The box was a banger under Peter Moore 2004-2008, he was a beast that pushed the brand! Now they got Phil, that guy is a total weenie and took the brand to the bottom of the sea. Enjoy!
@@crimson-xD 💯! Absolute awful management is to blame. Phil should fire himself!
If the next Xbox uses ARM. then the games should run natively on Macs.
For example, using VMware with Win 11 on a MacBook Pro M1, nearly all PC Game Pass games will not install. Because it’s ARM architecture. Hopefully with new Xbox using ARM, and thus all Xbox games working on ARM, a native Game Pass for Mac might just become a thing 🙏
I can imagine the price being $1000 plus
I'm excited the handheld is suppose to be there first local console since the Xbox 360. So that means everyone going to own one.
If they do a hybrid I'm first in line. Can't beat Steam sales and my gamer score comes with me along with all of my Xbox catalog! I love console because I can just play. I'm new to PC gaming and I want that kind of ease. No more fiddling with settings. If people want to do that I don't have a problem, give them that option. I just want a setting when gaming on PC that says console setting. I don't need to adjust every option.
I just want to merge my console and PC libraries!
I wish we can merge everything
I don't mind if They make a Xbox /PC Hybrid! Just hoping VR is not Ignored! Weather I Buy the next Xbox or go PC for a change, one thing is Certain! I need Halflife Alxy! 100% Come on Xbox! Make it happen! I can't be the Only Console Gamer who wants this!
been saying for a while now that PS and Xbox need to start implementing PC aspects into their systems. i’m glad xbox is doing this, will actually entice me to purchase gamepass on my computer to try out their games
This would mean you can have a console like OS on a PC and finally do seamless couch gaming on a big TV from a controller 😮
@@ChrisL-d4c no you can’t steam big picture doesn’t count
Technically the Xbox is already a PC Hybrid, so they just changed the marketing pitch point on it lol. With Xbox One, MS wanted companies to adopt it for PowerPoint presentations, Skyping and the like. All this does is restrict PC player's control over their games. You can't even add an Xbox App/ Gamepass game to Nvidia Control Panel or Radeon Settings, to manually change graphics post processing: anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, anti-lag etc. And enable things like DSR (supersampling) etc. Much less applying mods to games that don't officially support it, like Jedi Survivor, or performing a simple CFG/ INI tweak to enhance draw distance or allocate more VRAM to a thing (things that even fix our own stuttering/ crash fix issues, when developers can't address them themselves) because Xbox App games living in a super encrypted directory you can't do anything with. So, yeah this will win the PC community over really well lol: Who all wants no access to anything? No control over anything? ME ME ME ME!
Nope, for MS to takeover its own PC scene they're going to have to take Steam and GOG out of the equation, the last bastions of PC gaming freedom, and sadly they will. All they need to do is temporarily team up with Sony, EA, UBI (competing services) to disallow any more of their games to come over to Steam and you've pretty much stamped out Steam, and Steam will be limited to independent games and the ones that are good will get bought out by one of the bigger publishers, including MS themselves. Steam isn't publicly traded, so I don't think they can be bought in the traditional sense, or MS would have done that around 2004. As much as it would hurt me to see Steam die, or dissolved into Gamepass? I also wouldn't feel bad because Steam had an opportunity to get into the Steam gaming console market and didn't do it. It paved the way to a promising Linux gaming scene by result. I'm still pissed at them for teasing us on that and then going "nope, never mind." And all but abandoning SteamOS. We almost got a glimpse of non-MS desktop gaming.
Oh and one last thing? The new Xbox will be a Co-Pilot PC, so don't look embarrassing stuff up on it (you know what I'm talking about). Co-Pilot PC's take screenshots of your activity every few seconds and sends it back to HQ.
I hope they do having steam on xbox would make getting mods for games alot easier
Ponies are a funny bunch of lads
I agree, I hope Xbox. Does this because I think it will be a great benefit for all gamers. Council wars is such a letdown due to the fact that there shouldn't be any fighting and gaming. Gamers across the world should unite and be one. Don't get me wrong. I own all three consoles, but I don't do the council war thing. My main thing is how the company treats there.Gamers. I have to say that xbox is doing their best for their gamers. I am disappointed in sony the company on way.They treat their gamers. Also, nintendo's not bad, but they need to improve also. I always follow the golden rule of being nice to other gamers and their beliefs and I try not to get into the council war thing. Fighting over which council is better? It is a waste of time when we can all game together.
This is going to be great! I wonder if you'd be able to switch to Windows desktop and utilize the device's power to run heavy-duty apps, like video editors.
That would be a fantastic console option. For me, I'm at my desk most of the day, so when I'm gaming, I just want to kick back on my couch with a controller instead of being tethered to my desk.
The blueprint for a gaming console/PC hybrid is already out there in the Steam Deck. MS/Xbox just need to copy Valve’s homework.
As long as they don’t do the series s equivalent again. I’ll be happy.
A wall mount would be great with what i believe will be a larger console.
Xbox, where true gaming lives.
I built a hybrid xbox its called a form factor gaming PC size of a ps5. Have it hook to my oled TV running steam big picture mode and set it up to boot up in big picture mode. If Microsoft is doing this it means they are exiting the console market. You can call it anything you want colt but it isnt a console.
Exactly. People keep calling it a hybrid PC/console, but really, why would Microsoft continue to spend money developing games for both Xbox and PC when they can just make games for PC and release their own gaming PC hardware and call it Xbox? And with Xbox One games already on PC (except Halo 5, but who cares about Halo 5), all Microsoft needs for backward compatibility are Xbox and Xbox 360 emulators. Then they can start selling Xbox and Xbox 360 games to the PC crowd.
As someone who has only ever gamed on console, I would LOVE a hybrid. Hell, I would love to be able to buy a gaming PC that was prebuilt with solid tech, but I am as ignorant as they come. I’d worry that I would spend $12-$1500 on something that wasn’t optimized for the games I’d wanna play. I’ll definitely take the plunge at some point when I have more disposable income.
We use cloud gaming to play together using xbox one and the graphics are better than series s.
It would be interesting to see what a system could do with hardware built to work in conjunction with cloud
I buy one in heartbeat cause I don't wanna switch over to my computer when u wanna play games like ats or its Ets2.
I don't care that much. I'll buy next powerfull Xbox and Xbox Handheld.
Until I see the games and it’s 100% confirmed by Microsoft, I won’t allow myself to get all hyped up and be made a fool again. I learned my lesson. This sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking and this is coming from a gamer that’s been there since day one.
oh I would love this XBOX that is also a PC . It should have a mouse and keyboard but lock the software
I wonder if you could upgrade the hardware in the new xbox as you can with the PC? It would be cool if you could swap out the graphics card, SSD and the RAM
I’m in a position where every game I love is on PC as well. Should have gone PC instead of buying both an Xbox SX and a PS5.
I'm not convinced that ARM is viable for gaming yet and not even for 2026.
I think ARM would only be used for the AI stuff. I could be wrong though.
I will never stop yelling at the top of my lungs it's so important we support the only console maker in North America 🌎 (Xbox) without them it's only Japanese consoles or PC
Why haven’t we heard your reaction to Indiana Jones (and probably Forza) coming to PS5?
I did, on Septic Sauce Podcast.
I just want free online multiplayer
Still won't make devs to make a game capable of running 4k at 120fps. Biggest scam ever.
An Xbox I could play my Steam Games on is basically my dream. Would be great if it happens.
This is exciting BUT if this new console can't run the original Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3 its worthless to me. The fact OG Halo CE and 2 are not backwards compat is criminal since those games are the reason Xbox took off. To those who say "just play MCC" it's not the same at all lol
Great Video!
@ 2:05 “In-teg-grill” what bro? Integral dude
That's what I said. The emphasis is important in this context.
The next Xbox should be a pc/ console that can be upgradable.
All I want to see are games that are extremely large in data utilize SSD instead of disk. The option of downloading the game is nice, but large games take up a good portion of your storage, and Cloud Gaming requires fiber internet to be any good. But having a 3rd option would be amazing for storage capabilities. With the SSD being able to hold a massive amount of data and build in processors within a small package opens opportunities for the future of gaming. Not every game has to be on a SSD just the ones that need it.
Great information
The natural progression to a PC powered console was inevitable
This would be a smart move. Maybe I'd like the Xbox dashboard on my pc? Along with the potential library of old games? Sounds inviting I gotta admit. I have a ps5 but it sits. I prefer my pc, have a one x but it sits also lol.
So.....TLDR, the next Xbox, is just an ordinary everyday PC with Xbox branding etched on the case of it.
Wrong. It's a budget PC that's going to have games optimized for it just like a console. Thus, instead of it being "console" having better optimization, it'll be better for PC across the board
No more "optimizing games made for console, to work better on PC", when this "PC" will be the new base level for optimization.
@mtt3000 Yeah, it's not going to happen. Microsoft is way too incompetent.
Was that the new Fable game. Because I don't remember a fable game looking like that just hovering over home screen
Most games I wanna play, I also want access to the game engine to adjust about any map or feature for private fun.
Im all for it as long as it's a console and plays Xbox games along with the ability to play any PC game. There have been so many PC games I wish came to console. This would be a game changer for console players. The only downfall would be console players playing on PC with the amount of cheaters that plague the PC community has been my biggest turn off from even getting a PC to play the games.
They better make this come to life, everyone should have had at least one thought to why Xbox doesn't run windows as it's made from microsoft themselves.
This would be the smartest move for xbox to survive 💪
I keep hearing that games that get added to gamepass is basically where games go to die 😂
This would still be a hard sale for me. I still have all my old xbox consoles and i got rid of my new xbox for a PC. Once Microsoft made every xbox release compatible with the PC i just didnt see a point to xbox. Whatever the case I hope the next console's add ultra wide support. Its no going back to 16:9 for me. Also once i added the steam deck emulator to my PC it organizers EVERY console on steam. You can play 360, PS2 ,3, game cube, N64 games at 64 FPS and beyond.
As long as I can play my own library of games I already own , that be fine. What about disco games tho ?
