well there it is.
Yup, I was just reading about this too 😔Microsoft Gaming to Lay Off 3% of Global Workforce, About 650 Employees, in Additional Post-Activision Blizzard Cuts
Microsoft Gaming will lay off approximately 650 employees, or 3% of the Xbox owner's global workforce.variety.com
Xbox is probably done at this point, but if they wanted a last hurrah they should bring out a next gen console that is way cheaper than the PS5 Pro just to stir things up on their way out.if I were Microsoft, I would seize this opportunity to market the Series X at its current price or hell just cut the price to start undercutting Sony.
Do not count them out just yet! We have yet to see how day & date CoD on Game pass may affect hardware sales. And if they're gonna make a successor to the Series X/S, that means they're still competing in the console warsXbox is probably done at this point, but if they wanted a last hurrah they should bring out a next gen console that is way cheaper than the PS5 Pro just to stir things up on their way out.
I think the exclusive strategy is a nail in the coffin though. May as well get the Sony console if you can play nearly everything from Xbox on there as well as the big Sony exclusives. I can see Microsoft eventually doing well virtual third party but they are giving up a key differentiator that attracts gamers to buy a given system.Do not count them out just yet!

The exclusive strategy? What do you mean?I think the exclusive strategy is a nail in the coffin though.

Bringing out so many first party games on other consoles while not getting their exclusives. Depending how far they go with it, PS could have pretty much everything Xbox gets plus their own exclusives.The exclusive strategy? What do you mean?
For the most hardcore CoD fans on console, I think game pass is gonna be a huge draw to Xbox. If you love CoD and prefer playing on a console, why would you pay $70 for the game every year when you can pay for a monthly subscription and get the game instantly plus a bunch of other games?
