Something something, the more they squeeze, the more that will slip through their fingers???

But seriously, I can see a future for a small, cheap, open-platform-based console, based loosely on the Pi or similar hardware.

We will resurrect sub-1080p pixel art games if we have to.

The Radeon 680m can already play lots of indie games well. Dredge is 3d and plays great, for example.

With the current economy I see a future of piracy. So much piracy. Like, all the piracy. Have you seen Astro Bot running on KytyPS5?

Ryzen 7 8700G comes with a 780m and costs $265. The downside is the DDR5 memory which is still awful. Still better than playing cloud gaming, especially now that Microsoft plays to limit the hours you play on it.

Paul Tassi talked about it


Take Elder Scrolls VI. Microsoft would lose a ton of sales on its own platform if it was day one on Game Pass, and who knows how much that might increase existing subscriptions, given that most Xbox players are either in or out already. So, you might need to give it to Sony where it would probably sell tens of millions of copies, and you would reap at least a lot of that as the first-party publisher. But then your coveted big release is practically a flagship PlayStation title, given its install base.

However, if you take Elder Scrolls VI out of Game Pass, you not only get 100% platform sales instead of a smaller fraction due to the day-one philosophy, but that could be enough to play keep-away from PlayStation and be the only console to have an enormous release like that. That is something that could move consoles in a significant way. Add Fallout, Halo and other titles, and you can see how this could reposition Xbox’s entire place in the market. I don’t think it needs to be every single game, but big ones? Some, at least.

That's because nobody cares about GamePass. Who in their right mind is going to pay $70 for a game to play on their $600 console and then decide to pay for the GamePass subscription? Microsoft must think gamers are stupid. The GamePass experiment has failed and Microsoft should move on. They realized that you can't charge $15 a month for games that would otherwise cost $70.
