Xbox President Talks The Future Of Its Hardware And The Importance Of Backward Compatibility

Wait…….I thought Xbox was dead that the series consoles were the last Xbox’s? That’s what the sony fans keep telling me. But here’s the Xbox president saying that they are going to deliver the most powerful Xbox yet. Who should I believe? Hmmmm me confused!

Xbox nest console AKA It's Last Console Needs to be fully Xbox360 compatable..

I don't even care about the price. Nintendo,Playstation Xbox all ignored Backwards Compat for greedy reasons and it sucks..

~SEGA should make a newer console that has a cartridge slot for Genesis games & CD for Saturn & Dreamcast & SegaCD..

Maybe partner w/ NeoGeo or Panasonic(3do) Guess im different cause when Pandemic started i started buying & playing oldschool games & at some point became a collector except i don't buy everything i dont have. Just titles i like..

Most of the 360+ps3 are my current backlogs. I never knew how good some of the lesser know shooters are/we like Medal of Honor & Resistance & I even enjoyed Homefront.

Hardware without games is substantially worse than games without hardware. Sony has proven this by having subpar hardware with successful software title sales. Microsoft needs to wake up and realize this before it's too late, sadly it may already be too late.

RIP xbox

just stop developing new hardware and focus on games from the company that they already brought and get rid of those launchers like battle.net and throw those digital games into their microsoft store that on windows 10 and etc.

The only way I'd buy a new Xbox is if it came pre-installed with Windows and I could use it like a regular PC. But the problem is, I would simply just set it to Steam Big Picture mode and not use the Xbox side of it at all, so I don't know.

It’ll be their last console, and it will once again sell half of what Sony and Nintendo do, while mostly only having games from previous generations to play. It has been two generations of that in a row.

of course backwards compatibility is important to xbox, it's the only games they have.

Wouldn't be shocked if the next Xbox ends up being the last.

You cannot trust ANYTHING that spews from XB's mouth, they are like fluffy turds that evaporate into the atmosphere. You took away BC from XB, one of the great things that brought me and others back to XB. You have Corp blocked the production of future games by the studio that you are closing down during a time when you have record profits.

Bring us the QUALITY games, not just GamepASS turd games and you may just see the dream come true.

You won’t make next gen the way it’s going for you now at this pace.

Sounds good.👍🏽

This is another example of there pretty clearly being an internal rift within XBox IMO, and for whatever reason, Nudella and Microsoft leadership are seemingly content to allow it to fester.

In the past few months we've seen XBox candidly admit the console "war" was over last gen, and Sony won. Because of that, their strategy is to try to get XBox games available in as many places as possible, including on Sony's console. Game Pass isn't growing, and isn't likely to grow much more because the market's already saturated. Without that growth, the only way for XBox to please investors is to sell more games and cut costs (people.)

Now Bond is trying to sell the idea that a major new console is a good idea?!?! As, I believe Phil said himself, the number of people who will switch is very small, because unlike previous generations now there are millions of gamers with digital game collections tied to Playstation. Unless Sony screws up in ways much bigger than mistakes they've made in the past, a new XBox isn't going to outsell the PS6. In fact, the console's devalued even further by Microsoft's "games eveywhere" strategy. They legally can't do the *only* thing that would beat Sony in hardware sales, make COD an XBox exclusive. Console development is expensive, and they're usually initially sold at a loss. How many studios is Microsoft going to close to pay for new console development?

"Bond went on to explain that when she became president of Xbox late last year, one of the first things she did was create a team dedicated to backward compatibility. She then went on to say that the Xbox team is committed to the idea of being able to play their games wherever they are."

Er what? Wasn't expanding the catalogue for BC discontinued for titles from X-Box and X-Box 360? Ms. Bond is sitting with zero cred with gamers right now.
