@chikorita157 Heard of XBox’s recent issues? That they will open up their exclusives (and I’m sitting here with an XBox thinking, not much to care about their exclusives), poor hardware and gamepass sales, etc.
But that’s not my point. I’m baffled that I can have an idea that apparently senior staff there don’t. Said it before, but I’ll bet you this would be a hit:
XBox “Deck/Switch”, the OS.
Installable on generic x86 hardware (and ARM if that happens). Basically the Windows version of the Steam Deck. Stay in XBox for gaming, and optionally “drop into” windows (if you install that part).
Instant Windows gaming library, Game Pass, and store.
Not that I’m advocating for it per se, just baffles me that they haven’t had the idea.
Or am I super off and nobody would want it? Feels better than “raw” Windows on a handheld gaming machine.
@chikorita157 Forgot about that, it’s even more damaging to be honest.
I think they hitched their wagon to the cloud and it never made real progress, so they never had an answer for how to build things without it “winning”.
Lackluster exclusives, Sony/Nintendo not being dumb enough to allow Gamepass, and poor leadership and now they are boned.
Feel bad for the workers. The XBox isn’t actually bad, nor are their IPs (which mostly have been unused). Leadership just isn’t people who get it.
