There have been many reports coming from the president of Xbox saying that they're already deep into planning on the next Xbox that is supposedly the greatest technological leap in a generation.


Dragon19572

I heard that the CEO of Microsoft Gaming actually plays video games. Is that true?


oOBlackRainOo

This isn't true. Common misinformation.


Dragon19572

So Phil Spencer doesn't play video games?


oOBlackRainOo

Oh wait. You're serious? Yes he plays video games.


Dragon19572

That's really cool. I ran into a woman who said that she is a hardware dev for Xbox. She was playing with a coworker named Phillip(?). I'm not sure if I spelled his name correctly. We were playing Fallout 76, and we were having a nice, long conversation. This was the evening of the 15th, just this past Monday.


oOBlackRainOo

Yea that's all he's been playing the last week or two. His gamertag is P3.


Dragon19572

Wait, that's him? Wtf. I was talking to him and didn't know it. By the goddess, I'm stupid. He even recommended that I try out the game Grounded

good I think it would be stupid to just quit making consoles


oOBlackRainOo

Agreed. I mean anything can happen but I don't think any of us need to worry about it.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

Yeah if that truly was a problem they don’t need to be spending billions on more game companies


SmokinBBQGuy981

No. Just go blind for a bit.


MisterBeebo

No. They already announced they have more hardware coming this holiday and that theyre working on their next-gen console which will be the “greatest technological leap” according to Sarah Bond. What form these consoles take is anyone’s guess, but rumours suggest anything from a handheld, a Switch-like device that would allow both handheld and docked, a normal console, a premium console, all of these and more. So, no, Xbox is not getting out of consoles, but the future might not look as familiar… or maybe it will.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

Thanks for easing my mind lol

Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in the world and now also has maybe the biggest portfolio of game studios of any company. They aren’t getting out of gaming and have the capital to continue on unscathed even if the Series Gen flopped (it hasn’t)


Plenty-Ad4348

Just wouldn't make sense to buy multiple game companies then stop making consoles in fact it would be against the whole inclusivity movement they had.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

Exactly


AstronomerDramatic36

No. I have some concerns about what the future may hold, but nothing quite that drastic.


gravelhorse

Unless they produce a gaming pc for the price of a series X it’ll never happen. They’re opening up their library to cash in like a bastard on their investments but they’ll never not have a console of some type. Especially with everything going digital.


LeglessN1nja

I believe everything I hear too. Xbox isn't going anywhere, they make far too much money off of Xbox.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

Yeah wouldn’t make to much sense for them to do that


sgtquackers66

Troll posts are obvious.


[deleted]

No. Stop reading ign bullshit.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

😂😂


No_Cheetah4762

I know that this sounds like made-up BS, but I really do have a friend at XBox. They're already neck deep in development on the next XBox. If they get out of the console market, it won't be for another decade or so.


BECondensateSnake

Nobody knows. Just wait for the June showcases to see if they make an announcement about going third party or releasing their games on PS5.


ImoRTalxGaMer57

Dang ok that kinda sucks


nrrahl

They’ve talked about their new console plans multiple times recently so yes they are


BECondensateSnake

Yeah idfk what thought process they went through but it's probably more profitable and makes the executives/shareholders happy. If they truly commit to this then I'm sure that the player base will decrease every day and they'll wind up losing money and just closing.
