There comes a time when you realize that the trajectory you’re on is not the right one. However, this isn’t the case for Xbox. Their decisions of direction are the right call in terms of where they’re taking gaming for themselves. Even if they’re not in the best interests of others it’s primarily being done on the basis of a corporation that has the might to do it their way. Their next generation console is going to be a reflection of that.
We’re potentially going to see Microsoft doing consoles in the right way. Just like they’ve been doing for powerful Windows 11 based gaming laptops over the years. All streamlined into the console experience that allows us to essentially have the convenience of all of these features in a console – as well as portable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this console is more compact based on those reasons either. Forging third-party development with the underlying principles of new features for the Xbox controller. Both cloud based and leaning into the direction of how PlayStation has changed the game with haptic feedback. When you look at how the next potential generation of Xbox could possibly go. It could be a new dawn that takes advantage of how Microsoft has leveraged their innovation to make them the best place to play on PC – and now on console.
When you consider the implications of multi-stores and value and less exclusives per say. We really start to see a difference maker in which Xbox will see themselves in a gaming industry where the others have had it their way for too long. It’s about what they can offer players and while no gaming company is immune from everything that really goes on in the gaming industry.
This sort of mentality to reach new audiences and establish themselves in a space they’ve come to know well with PC. That’s something that surely cannot be ignored and as long as Microsoft doesn’t fumble this transition of PC on console experience. I can really see something special happening for people that are just fans of gaming that don’t approach competition in some sort of draconian way.
If anything, it really is a new dawn and Xbox is putting the games right back at the front and centre of what matters – as well as gamers. You could say the gaming industry is crucially doing so as well.
