    Not that surprising really. Xbox is a bit of a dead platform seeing as everything is on PC.

      It’s an interesting idea they have though to open Xbox up to other storefronts. I honestly think Steam Machines need to make a comeback, with Proton and consoles not being as appealing right now they could actually succeed in a major way.

        Allegedly they have their own thing in the works, a la an Xbox in the handheld form factor. Don’t see what they are hoping to achieve with it though. The root problem is a lack of compelling games. Only way I see it going well is if they pull a Surface move and put all the other OEMs to shame with a good end-user experience.

          They wanna get Game Pass into as many hands as possible, that’s their goal. All the compelling games are on PC, if PCs can become more accessible, consoles are gonna have it rough long term.
