MODERATORS
Translation: We are making it look like we are giving up on this, but really we are just baiting to get you to relax, while we roll out our brand new gaming exclusive AI offering called “Microsoft Gamerbro ^TM^”!!
that name isnt awkward enough to say to be real
Microsoft Xbox for Windows Copilot Series X Console - $1000
Needs more X'es
is the $1000 part of the name?
Yes. Otherwise Noone would buy that $2000 slop console
Yes, actual retail price is $1500 for the cloud version.
goodbye linux, hello windows for copilot xbox series x - $1000 !
It's Copilot XboX XTX EXperience series X
Stop! There’s a limit to how hard I can get.
Seems like the financial people at Microsoft are tired of taking "but it's the future!" As an end all be all answer.
Between this and copilot switching to token based billing, they're the first company to seem to really be looking at how bad the financials are
Very strange that they moved a bunch of AI executives into XBOX division, only to remove AI features, but you won't hear complaints from me.
it seems clear that the demand for it on Xbox Series X|S and other hardware just wasn’t there for gamers.
Its clearly not in demand anywhere but here we are.
Probably because they realize there is no demand or use for it, hopefully. Maybe, just maybe, we reached the point where it needs to justify its value and that the time spent integrating it is just not worth it. And last of all xbox is on its final leg, i think its detrimental that whatever the next step they take will have to be a win.
They have always known there is no demand for it. They don't care. It's all about line going up and deceiving investors in order to create unfathomable pay packages for CEOs.
The AI execs moving may just be them seeing the writing on the wall and abandoning that ship before it sinks.
Absolutely because it got roasted on April fools as the stupidest executive level idea in all of gaming.
Hey play this game I paid 60 bucks for for me
There's got to be a solid amount of internal belief that copilot doesn't have a future. They have no popular phone - no idea why they didn't continue making Android phones. That Android game store they announced still hasn't happened. No popular TV presence besides a limping along Xbox series console. People on windows aren't using copilot. Even Amazon has a better shot because of their echo and fire devices. Companies developing internal AI tools, don't know why they wouldn't base off a regularly updated stable of local AI models as they come out like Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, whatever
If I'm not mistaken, most of Microsoft's revenue is derived from enterprise, and corporate customers are largely just hands down not willing to accept the risk that comes with premature AI integration. MS is probably also recognizing this, because it seems like they're backing off Copilot across the board
I miss Windows Media Center. It was so great back in the day.
I don't think Amazon has much of a chance. People like their Alexa for the simple stuff. We had a free trial of Alexa+. On day 2 my wife was complaining about how slow it was, and by day 4 my 13 year old daughter had figured out herself how to switch back, because she hated Alexa+ so much.
I miss Windows Media Center
You might see SteamOS Media Center some day
The windows phone they came out with a while back - actually wasn't too bad. But they dropped the idea like a turd in a leaky bag, if they'd kept going and improving it they might have a competitor to android and apple by now.
I actually had one. Know no one else that did. I had hoped someday there'd be a great mobile solution for PC gaming that would come from windows phones. Ended up being Linux and Android running windows games being the portal for mobile PC gaming. Happy they fumbled mobile so hard. Same with fumbling the home theater OS center. Better Android than Windows
Why play videogames when I can have Ai so it for me.
Okay wait, they might actually be finally cooking. Will have to wait and see if they actually mean it.
Maybe they can move some resources to the remote play app now so they can begin the impossible task of turning off auto rotate.
