What's there to sell? Apple are fully capable of developing hardware.

Yes but they've regardless had a lot of trouble breaking into the space, if they can land the Xbox name and advertise that it's the Xbox team that gives them an easier in than they've ever had before.

With how much Microsoft pushed Gamepass now? They may be willing to lose the Xbox brand and stick with Gamepass branding.

You're much more likely to get Apple. If Microsoft actually does try to get out of the console game you might see them sell the console hardware side of Xbox to Apple. Apple has had an interest in the console market for a very long time.
Probably but if there's one thing I'm passionate about when it comes to video games it's that gaming needs new cultures and perspectives because the west has gotten a bit stagnant and that regard and Japan has become more isolated.

Nah, PCs aren't going anywhere. But I don't think they'll be #1 forever. One day the secrets to total immersion vr will be unlocked and I firmly believe that once it happens it'll be on machines too expensive for home use. By then Moore's law will be long gone and safety concerns on full dive vr will keep it in public gaming centers. When that happens the premiere gaming experience will no longer be on PCs.
People thought PCs would never be affordable for home use. By the time full immersion VR happens, it will be runnable on devices that people already owned for years prior. The tragic downfall of the gaming PC you desire isnt going to happen

If it's on devices plural like you say PC gaming will have already lost the superiority complex that PC fanboys love. I don't see PC's having superior gpus to update constantly forever. I just don't.

But I don't see the tech being introduced on small devices either.

that didnt happen and wont happen i understand you hate "pc fanboys" but the fact is that consoles are only cheap PCs with exclusives so they inherently cannot "beat" a pc. whatever VR runs on will just be a PC thats more powerful than a console. no matter how big of a "fanboy hater" you are, you wont change reality and your desire is just a pipe dream

That doesn't make any sense. Apple doesn't have an issue with branding and Xbox can still be a publishing and accessory brand for Microsoft.

Apple also doesn't have any internal developers. That's the single biggest issue anyone would have entering as a new platform holder.

So you went from claiming it'll be on devices plural to now saying 'Nope, PC Only!' I don't know what you're more afraid of, the idea that home entertainment might not be the be all end all of gaming one day or the idea of losing your sense of entitlement over console gamers but either way it's pretty sad.

You need a new line, everyone knows the difference between a monitor and a computer. That's an embarrassing quip even by the standards of strawman arguments. Hell the 'pcless gaming environment' scarecrow is probably relieved to look less stupid next to it.

I don't want nor do I think it's possible for a 'PCless' gaming environment. What I want is for the ultimate gaming experience when it comes to still feel like a special event. If it's avaliable at home it won't be that. Especially if it's downloaded by clicking a link or Providence forbid, a streaming service.

On the narrow scope: imagine being mad that more people can play games you like.

On the broad scope: I can get it. If they attached their "influencer" persona to Xbox as a brand because of the games, they might have been forced to forgo games on other platforms they would have liked, and now it was for nothing. But that's a dumb move unless they were getting something out of it like a sponsorship deal. If you got that, then you got paid for it so shut up. Consoles and companies don't deserve loyalty.

I would think it's a much bigger deal for your average Joe, though. If you can only afford one console and you picked Xbox because you liked its exclusives... Well now you're locked out of other exclusives for minimal gain.

You don't know why I think the tech will be on those machines and you have shown no semblance of arguing in good faith here. I came to that conclusion long before I started taking jabs at PC fanboys.

Overall it's this group that's the most important.

At this point the Xbox gamers are probably the ones have that stuck around for 10-20 years. I doubt they've gained all that many young people.

They shed about 30 million going from the 360 to the Xbox One. They look to be shedding another 10 million going to the Series X and that's with the cheap Series S SKU.

If it drops any further they're getting closer to the Original Xbox than the 360. They're not doing a good job convincing people to stay as is and ditching all exclusivity is certainly going to expedite it even moreso. They've got 30 million people who bought an Xbox Series and just a mere 3 years into the generation there's this strange business update talking about a future vision. Good luck keeping those people happy.

Keep making up crap. The Series X already outsold the original Xbox and is catching up to the XB1, and nobody every claimed that every Xbox game is coming to PS outside of ridiculous rumours.

Meanwhile PS5 has 15 exclusives and Horizon Forbidden West is already coming to PC this month but Sony fanboys are hiding from that LMAO.

Alright, I'll apologize. I thought you were pushing that opinion based on hatred towards fanboys, and I was wrong.

I still disagree with the overall notion though. When fully immersive VR comes, it will be runnable on PCs affordable by consumers, and wont need a supercomputer an at arcade. Maybe the very first iterations during development might not but it will relatively quickly be affordable and able to be used at home. Tech advances far too quickly for it not to.
I also think your disdain towards some sort of superiority complex or whatever is misguided. There's sane and insane fans in every camp.

Apology accepted and I have no problem agreeing to disagree about future tech. If you're right and PC's are the only way to play it once it happens (if I'm even still alive) I'll hop on that bandwagon faster than Wally West. I will be worried that it won't be as special as it would be in an arcade but I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it.

As for harping on PC fanboys I can get carried away with that sure. I just find them to be uniquely obnoxious with master race shit and terms like peasant for those that prefer consoles for whatever reason.

Ehh. I can see "full dive" VR (if it's ever invented), especially early iterations, being legally required to happen only in venues like arcades because of medical or emergency oversight being necessary. Even if it's just one person watching vitals or whatever for a bank of pods with an "emergency stop" button. Someone who's fully immersed wouldn't be able to react well to surroundings or might be thrown into a state they need medical attention but are unable to do it for themselves (epileptic seizures, etc.).

That said, I'm not sure I'd see such an experience fully supplanting an "at home" one. The latter is just far too convenient (and also often cheaper for long term use) to drop unless the difference is phenomenal.
