I'll get the Transformers & Grinch game when they inevitably get a big sale before the licenses run out.

Anyone want a bet against me, the below is my Xbox future prediction, UNFORTUNATELY.

Unfortunately it’s the way Microsoft are with Xbox and the route they have gone down.
I’ve seen spider man 2 and Mario Wonder getting hyped and adverts on UK main stream TV and both have events coming up as well in the USA, Xbox home territory.
Both have undertaken big console promotions this year reducing console prices or special bundles.
Xbox series x is currently the most expensive console, you can buy a PS5 disc with FC24 for £410 right this minute.
If Xbox doesn’t change it will fade and die console wise and I think we will see the games on PS5 or PS6 or Switch 2 actually made for them not cloud based. Cloud is going nowhere for ages yet.
Maybe they will retract back into the PC market only.
I believe game pass subscriptions are drying up as well and stagnant.
The only hope is buying up big studios, but the Bethesda purchase has done nothing for them and the same with Redfall and Starfield.
I think when they get Activision they will start an internal plan to expand to other consoles not gamepass but like a third party developer.
If Microsoft stay as they are with Xbox they are and will slowly kill the brand off and what is left of it.

Axis Football sounds far too much like a WW2-era FIFA game between the enemy powers.... Unfortunate choice of name!

Are you just going keep posting the same comment about Xbox's demise, this is the second time you've done it 😅. I mean Sony and Nintendo are exactly what you and other people want, whereas Microsoft are pursuing a different path....

It is just an opinion of where I think they are heading. It’s not a total demise or them totally leaving the market.
Don’t worry I think they will still be about pushing their own third party games to all consoles and PC.
You never know, in the future they might even do special timed exclusives for Sony or Nintendo 😂

The trouble is not many want Microsoft’s alternative path, they just want the old xbox360 top AAA games to be produced again.
Sales etc show this of Xbox consoles, gamepass and how quick their games disappear out of Steam charts etc and never mentioned again.

There was plenty of sales reports showing that Starfield helped console sales a lot, not to mention the game is on track to make Xbox a billion dollars. So it's not a failure

Lords of the Fallen has me hyped, hoping it will be another great soulslike as Lies of P turned out to be.

-Nope, never a worry from me...

And they are. The way I see it, the loudest Microsoft bashing comes from people who don't really give a rat's @rse about Xbox....they are just upset that Microsoft are not Sony and Nintendo, when it's clear that Microsoft has diverged from (that)model.

I am fine with Microsoft but just over the last couple of years they haven’t delivered what I used to enjoy from Xbox in the olden days or to that quality of game they used to produce, it all sort of just misses that top end mark and sits below it as a good game.
I mean Starfield is ok but seems programmed from ages ago, lots of slow loading when fast traveling, loading even when going into a small caves, loading when going through doors into most buildings. And it’s all slow loading as well.

Yes have noticed the PS5 in house AAA big single player campaign games look very thin on the ground for 2024. They will either have nothing or a surprise or two. But yes they seem extremely suspiciously quiet.

As for Microsoft they can do what they like they are yes a trillion dollar company, for me it’s more if they want to going forward continue messing about making consoles at possibly a loss and not just sell gamepass and games on other systems.
