Viva Pinata has an official PC port and Perfect Dark has an unofficial (but fully functioning) PC port thanks to its decompilation project

Did whatever that dope that ran Microsoft's game division in the last gen was called really ruin the whole console franchise by saying you shouldn't buy their console if you didn't want to be able to play offline or sell your used games?

Who really cares at this point. They dropped the ball so bad this gen that it's probably for the best if they stop wasting everyone's time

At least people don't have to worry about all those studios that got bought up being exclusive to a console no one has lol

If Microsoft were to go handheld I wonder if all their exclusives would be PC only or if not having htem on the console market would be too damaging for sales.

They are working on a handheld(not sire about a new console, however

Microsoft Gaming chief Phil Spencer has said that a handheld Xbox could be hardware, an app, or both

So it's hard to be certain

Good. There are only a handful of games on the XBone and Series S\X I'm interested in and not enough to want me to buy one. The idea some of these games will end up on PS5 is great news.

So, if Microsoft drops out of the console space, what company--if any--would step up to take its place there alongside Nintendo and Sony?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/264564-xbox-series-x/80806781/981242401

After acquiring Activision and Bethesda, Microsoft has no plans to get out of the console business anytime soon lol

If the Xbox One ideas came 5 years later it probably would've been fine, but the US did not have the internet infrastructure for what the Xbone wanted to be doing, so the showcase came off as not only anti-consumer but elitist.

He could still be using gfaqs, but he was purged and can no longer come to this board.

Xbox had a ton of community backing with the 360 and have just fumbled continuously since. Game pass is their only saving grace and apparently it's not doing so hot either.

That's what I am most curious of cause I haven't seen them in a while. If so then damn, the CE lockout is working nicely.
