“Your TV is an Xbox”, “Your car is an Xbox.” Microsoft insists so much on the fact that its console can dedicate or take shape in other products that we end up asking if we still need a real Xbox in the form of play console. This question, Microsoft, may have been done several times in recent months, before reaffirming its commitment through a video of Sarah Bond, the president of Xbox.
But rumors in recent days have once again plunged players in uncertainty. They mention in particular a cancellation of the development of a new show of shows. In a press release transmitted to Central Windows, Microsoft explains to invest “actively in (SUS) future consoles and devices, designed, developed and manufactured by Xbox.”
An affirmation that also recalls the multiple years agreement signed last June with AMD, designer of the chips integrated in the Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but also and especially on PC.
Uncertainty remains, beyond words
If this press release seeks to calm down, the fact is that this rumor does not begin anywhere. It reflects a lack of confidence in brand fans and Microsoft, who have changed my mind on numerous occasions in recent months and has sent contradictory messages.
This is what Jez Corden, a journalist from Xbox’s internal business: “How do you know what will be true in the next quarter?”
For several days, the Microsoft video game division has gone through a storm. The American company has announced a strong increase in its prices both in its consoles and in some of its services, including the game’s pass. The subscription to this platform that gives access to a catalog of games has seen its monthly payments between 1 and 6 euros with new limitations.
In addition, the company has also separated from several thousand employees for two years. The last save referred to Xbox Studios, canceling several important past projects, of which Perfect dark AND Always.
