A new division called Xbox XP will take the lead on “film and television, consumer products, strategic partnerships, and live experiences,” with a focus “on how people experience our franchises beyond the games themselves.”

Sigh…

    Wow, so, Nintendo is winning the console war by suicide? Sony jumped off the console cliff out of nowhere, and now Xbox is eating a rat poison cake for fun.

    Still standing : the indie scene, the PC gaming master race, the retrogaming scene, Nintendon’t.

    I hope Valve won’t die by autoerotic asphyxia. I don’t like them THAT MUCH (like, Newel is building cunt yachts instead of funding cool studios for cool new games), but they’re still on the good side of history.

    We’ll still have GOG, though.

      There’s no sense in selling a loss-leader computer/console when the losses are soooooo massive these days because of component shortages caused by billionaire hoarders.

        At least with PC gaming it’s possible to buy an old computer or laptop and have a massive library. It’s not like we’re restricted to the current generation, I could go and play Wasteland on my modern PC with no issue if I wanted to install a couple megabytes.
