- Xbox is releasing an update that will bring new features to your console and Phil Spencer nearly confirms the handheld...and why more games are headed to the PlayStation.
IGN interview with Phil - • Phil Spencer Practical... - Ігри
I need the controller that got leaked
no vr, no gyro, no adaptive triggers, no haptics. TWO machines every dev hates.
lol me 2
Agreed, I was hoping to c that with the new digital consoles
What’s so good about the leaked controller?
@@AntiMatter24 it would have a haptic engine & accelerometer like the PS5 & Switch controllers, unfortunately no gyro tho. It’s possible that it’s being delayed till next gen since they didn’t show it here & if so they may reconsider adding more to it
I hard-wire my Series S when in my Bedroom, but use WiFi when I take it to my mom's. I could foresee taking it to a friend's, as well, so multiple WiFi set ups would be handy.
A powerful affordable handheld might be their saving grace, with releasing all their games elsewhere it is hard to sale an Xbox but a handheld is a different story. I do believe that they could sale more consoles if they had more exclusive games, there are plenty of mostly single player gamers like me that are willing to own multiple consoles for the right game, I also think the 30% from every piece of third party software could equal more money then selling some more of their own games somewhere else. Will just have to wait and see if their strategy pays off.
I'm a little sad that this is probably the last Xbox generation with a disc drive. I still watch DVDs 😅
The most notable detail about the new models is not the lack of optical drive on two out of three but that the chip set remains unchanged. The tech specs on the Xbox site indicate the process node remains 7NP for all models. Porting to 6NP would have allowed for some significant power draw reduction and in turn more compact cooling solutions, allowing for an overall smaller unit like the PS5 slim model. BUT... getting that port done is not an inexpensive prospect. Tens of millions of dollars at the least before the new APU were ready for mass production. This means Microsoft isn't expecting to sell enough of all Xbox models to justify that investment. It also means there will be no 'Pro' model, and that it was not expected to generate enough revenue to help justify moving to 6NP, rather than focusing any new chip level work on the generation to come at some point.
It’s refreshing to actually find an Xbox fan with a brain 🧠
Oh I hope the handheld is just a portable disc drive with buttons. They should call it
The Xbox Walkman!
Ya Microsoft did say there wont be any pro versions.. though next gen should be a grand step up in things.. only thing that worries me is that I hope that handheld wont be all they're offering cause I am only interested in a home unit
@@De1usionsofGrandeur just go PC and you'll have the best home unit to play Xbox , Sony and third party games as well as indie and everything retro.
Console is just a limiter with barely playable performance in most cases.
Microsoft wanting to justify these decisions based on immediate measurable growth is a mistake. Their focus as a gaming console brand (one far back in 3rd place) should be to build brand recognition, brand trust, and even loyalty if possible. If Microsoft treats xbox like a soulless business, it'll end up a dead business. Gamers need an identity and a reason to get excited for your products, not excuses on why you need profit so you didn't do cool things.
Profits should be the long game right now because they really need to catch up on building multiple reasons to love xbox. It can't just be game pass.
The Xbox Series Go (G)
Series E sounds better to me but G is also a good one
I was an advocate for exclusivity for a long time. Was fun partaking in gentle banter back & forth over the years. Even both brands enjoyed the banter once upon a time. Now I see (kicking & screaming lol) the bigger picture of, opening games to more platforms strengthening the brand. (Something even PS are realising with PC & Switch deals) Stronger the brand, bigger ROI for them, stronger the reinvestment, more games by brand for me. Hopefully.
For my Xbox gaming, I’ll still be doing it all on an Xbox console. Regardless whomever else gains access to the games, won’t affect my gaming.m or which device I choose.
Game pass is the difference maker for me. If PS or Nintendo (especially Nintendo) get Game pass then I'm out.
@@MasterofLightning I cannot see GP, going to the other platforms in its ultimate form, anymore than I can see a PSPP coming to Xbox. (I’d be open to it though) However, offering the core package of GP to other platforms would make great sense, without diminishing the service or brand. Even though PS has previously stated they have zero interest in allowing it, Core could be more easily accepted for PS. Nintendo I’m not too sure off, maybe for the new handheld from both makes GPU worthy & makes it easier to get the deal of a decades worth of Xbox games on their platform. End of the day, devices/games are getting more expensive, down to personal choice & where your main hub of friends are. Sure ideal world we’d all love all devices, reality’s not as ideal for everyone. Nice to have choices less expensive though.
That’s how I feel. I like the Xbox console more, and I love game pass. Xbox has always been the most pc like console, and it gets the most pc style games, which I love.
It's almost like they're... going 3rd party.
Where your friends are is only important if you play multiplayer games.
…and the biggest games, that have the most active players across every single platform, are multiplayer live service games
I agree, handheld would be all digital, I hope they add cartridge compatibility with current xbox seagate ssd external card, it would be cool to be able to swap in and out of the console and handheld
I hope we can still use these seagate storage drives on the portable Xbox
It ain't the end of the disc drive because would also be axing backcompat disc version games ala OG-360 titles.
Brad, for the hanheld, they could just make a dock that has the disc drive. It wouldn't ship with it but it'd be another accessory they could sell to make money and it'd be an option for those who want it.
Another great episode. Some of us don't play with friends and are looking for certain games... Some of us like (complete on disk) physical which is why Switch is still that only console I'll own
If I didn’t already have a series x then paying an extra $100 more than the base series x for a cooler looking case and an extra TB would be worth it.
should’ve put the 2 TB in the digital series X. that’s a lot more appealing.
The controller update for Elite 2 does nothing, as an insider ring, I have had this for a while. It's clearly an OS issue, as opening the guide or chat menu causes it to disconnect.
7:48 that handheld figures crossed needs to make expansion card compatibility with Velocity architecture... so gamers can just plug and play everything they already have downloaded.
Plus, they desperately need to make a 4tb expansion card soon!!!
Wireless headset 2 and surface headphones 3
What Phil wants and what Phil actually does are two very different things.
What happened to the leak controller
Is this last generation with a drive the the next console digital
Doom is going to make Soooooo much money for XBox !!!!!!! That's going to be the push to make a handheld watch, but they better buy STEAM if they can.
Did they discontinue the standard series x at 500? I thought that is still going to be around
Never was
I don't want discless system with the 2TB storage
Xbox should put 5G in the handheld
Question: Why is it a negative thing if moving forward people are going to questioning whenever or not a XBoX game is going to other platforms? Thats actually a good thing. Did you realize people simply cant stop taking about XBoX these days, especially on PS centric channels? It is actually PS who cornered theirselves to a corner, locked to a plastic box and only now, in 2024, making movements to reach new audiences while XBoX is already taken the entire room.. Consoles are a niche market, its no longer the driving force in gaming anymore. People at XBoX noticed this years ago and have been working for years to make XBoX something bigger than a console, working on partnerships (NVidia, Samsung, Steam, etc..) and distribution, owning some of the biggest publishers and IPs now...
Just look at this showcase, the XBoX showcase might as well become the new E3. EVERYONE will be watching and every publisher wants to be there and/or Game Pass. Players dont wanna be locked to a the niche/restricted ecosystem behind a plastic box anymore, I gain absolutely nothing that way, I would rather play in a ecosystem thats literally everywhere.
he wants to Phil-Fill xbox anywhere
So why is nobody asking the hard question, is the galaxy pattern on the new 2tb Series X, random & unique like thier storm vaper controllers, or is it the same pattern on all consoles? If its a random pattern im getting one, if its the same pattern on all consoles, im sticking with my Series X & PS4 combo.
I wonder if doom would have an epic track. No Mick Gordon right?
I would only ever buy another Xbox handheld but not another console. I just got my first gaming PC this year and that’s it for me. I think Xbox consoles will continue to lose 3rd party support due to declining console sales. I’m tired of missing out on other games and since Xbox doesn’t have the cojones to fight back it’s a wrap. PC is where you should go for Xbox media from here on out.
Should I still buy the black series s now that they are discontinuing it?
I think the end of the disc drive statement is a little premature. The $600 console with the disc drive also has 2TB storage which is not unreasonable to suspect that many would happily pay for considering the additional SSDs are still a hefty price.
Plus, if PS keep a disc drive I suspect Xbox will too.
The issue is the price hasn't dropped in 4 years. But that's just the new reality with tech I guess. Price only goes up, not down.
@@R.B.90 that's mainly because inflation has been high though
I know it's not for everyone, but I will buy physical for as long as it's an option.
Exclusive games need to make economic sense. Xbox will not make every game exclusive but I believe there will be exclusives. The real value is in game pass, console price, backwards compatibility etc.
I just hope they start selling starcraft mega construx sets.
Xbox is already behind on console sales. So bringing a lot of these games over to PlayStation and even the Switch helps sustain Xbox and everything they're doing with Game Pass.
Indeed, a handheld Xbox could be simply an app that officially "emulates" a let's say, an Xbox Series S (the less demanding of this generation) on an already available device like ROG Asus Ally! I haven't thought about that...
Where the hell is Activisions back catalogue?.
The only way the whole thing about them putting their games on PS5 won’t look bad, is if Sony reciprocates it. If we see some PS5 games come to Xbox, then it will go over better. Otherwise it looks like can’t beat em join em.
The new skus are a price hike because of inflation honestly they should have made the new x have 2tb since it’s all digital and made it 399 the s should be 249 and the old s should be 200. But in all reality if they had an s with a disc drive for 350 it would sell pretty well I bet.
It would be nice if they sold a drive that slide under the series x just so people could watch their older movies
Yeah. They can make a handheld series S and X!
The X is as powerful as the Xbox one and the S is a 360!
All current and future current games have to be handheld series S compatible!
It's a win win!!! 💪🏾
Let's go Xbox
Don't hold your breathe on that. Using the existing Series X APU would result in a machine with a battery life measured in minutes rather than hours. A handheld Series S would be better in that regard but would likely compare unfavorably with the next generation of Nintendo Switch, which appears to be a given for 2025, and at the high end would be competing with handhelds using much more recent AMD APUs to which there would be no comparison.
A very notable feature of the new generation of AMD APUs due to show up in devices later this year is power scaling. The same chip is claimed to be usable across a broad set of power profiles. This means a handheld using the Strix Halo could be fairly good as a 1080p mobile device and a fully on par or better than existing consoles when docked for full power and an external display at 4K. such a handheld would need a significantly higher price point than what Nintendo will target with the Switch successor but just how high is for the engineers to determine. something more intended to be upgradable (mainly the storage) than the Steamdeck could allow for reasonable cost of entry without the buyer feeling stuck later.
Typical Xbot
Well how about a master chief edition handheld that doubles as a taser? Or a Forza edition that is mud proof? Or a Starfield edition that comes with a small tank of O2 just in case your planning a trip to the Moon?
I really hope it comes with a power cable as it would be expensive in batteries to play all the way through in Hell blade 2.
I travel a lot, my Xbox Series x is always with me!
Phil Spencer and Xbox have said all the way back in the Bethesda round table that games with a history on another platform will be considered on a case by case basis, that is what’s happening now, nothing new at all, and nobody should be surprised that the new Doom game is going to PlayStation. I would also expect that this is true for ES6. What do I loose as an Xbox first player, nothing.
I will continue to buy future Xbox console as I enjoy their hardware and platform more than PlayStation.
thats the issue xbox want more players, more sales, more subs but then think porting games to your competition ps5 ( pc and nintendo aren't competition) while they aren't putting their games on your system makes buying an xbox pointless. The rhetoric will be why buy an xbox when you can buy a ps5 and play everything, xbox then lose gamepass subs, lose revenue from sales of 3rd party games because people aren't buying the console and then only making money from sales on other platforms where they will have to pay like 30 %.
Yup. To not have the nuts to say some games will remain exclusive to windows platforms is ridiculous. They’ve pretty much decided to mail it in in the console space.
More and more 3rd party games will skip their console because sales will become abysmal.
Unless COD in Gamepass manages to draw in tons of casuals to the console it’s probably the beginning of the end for Xbox.
It doesn't matter if you can play everything on Playstation, because everything will be sold for 70$ a piece , but all of those games will be available on Gamepass for 16$ a month, day one.
Xbox is not selling you a console, Xbox is selling you options. The option to play all of their games on pc, or on a console if you don't want a pc or can't afford it, on your phone or tablet, or on multiple handhelds if that's your thing. All of that for 16$ a month, and Day one.
Xbox presented 17 first party titles during their showcase, Playstation released less firts party titles in the last 4 years. If you want to buy all of those games Day one on Playstation, how much money will you have to spend versus the cost of Gamepass ?
On Playstation, COD will be sold 70$, but you need to subscribe to Psplus essential to play COD which cost 90$ a year, for a total of 160$. How much is Gamepass with BO6 included ? 160$. But for the same price, 160$, you also have access to all the Gamepass library, and all of xbox's first party titles Day one. Do you get it ?
@@maximelemay8444 logically you make sense but gamers don’t buy systems out of pure logic. You have to understand. Gamepass hasn’t made Xbox more attractive to anyone. People are going to where their friends are going. That’s PlayStation, Nintendo and PC. People will just simply wait for Xbox games to come and go on sale.
If in a year you see their console sales have declined still year over year it’s not going to get better. Once more 3rd party games start to skip Xbox it is a dying console. And you should probably think about where you should start migrating next as a gamer. I’ve gone PC.
If every game goes to PlayStation for example then there won’t be much point buying an Xbox in the future.
Its 600 bc the 2 tb
Its a gamer tax. Its Microsoft telling gamers they don't want to sell consoles without telling them they don't want to sell consoles. They put a wildly overpriced product on the market and when consumers don't buy it, they say, " See we have a product out there for those that want it"
@conchobar they have a 1 tb series s for 350, digital series x 450 and 2tb for 600 , the 1 Tb memory stick alone cost like 120 $ by it self, and they still have the regular series x for 450-500 at Walmart right now. I don't get the fake outrag
@@conchobar let me ask you. What should the 2 tb series x cost?
The mouse and keyboard might make turn on gamepass again. It was the main reason I liked stadia better.
no vr, no gyro, no adaptive triggers, no haptics. TWO machines every dev hates. fk deadbox.
so is gaming about the games or is gaming about buying hardware? no idea why the console matters anymore just buy the one you like the most.
handheld? my money is on some integration with the steamdeck given that steam is going to the xbox as well.
Gaming is about the games and the hardware.
Their new strategy only works if they also bring pc games over to xbox... cause the one and only issue I have is rhat everyone else is gaining games.. but with pc added to xbox I'll be gaining games too so that completely fixes that issue... also means Sony doesn't have to bring anything to xbox the pc functionality will automatically do that
I won't buy a plastion for a game either, Brad. I don't mind games going elsewhere, but until plastation put games on xbox I hope they don't put some games on playstation
I can't be the only one but I definitely travel with my series X. Its not that heavy and travels well. Also the only people that care that games can be played more places are the childish fanboys who don't matter. They are the minority. Options are a good thing for consumers. Play what you want, where you want and leave everyone else alone.
Or u could get all platforms then it won’t matter where your friends play u own everything bring on the games for everything 😂😂😂😂
Xbox play anywhere is the future
Just like the saying goes, "It's the economy, stupid", the saying Xbox is still struggling with is "It's the games, stupid". While it is true most people buy consoles based on where their friends play, I know a lot of people, myself included, who are older and buy/bought a console based on the game(s) alone. I bought a PS5 slim last Christmas, for Gran Turismo 7, because MS fumbled the ball so badly with Forza Motorsport. I may be an outlier, but I know a lot of others who did the same. So, it's not just friends, but the games. More importantly, it's the quality of games Xbox is still lacking. All of the announcements at the Xbox Showcase looked promising, but until we play them, Xbox's mindshare for quality AAA games is still in doubt compared to Nintendo, and Sony.
Xbox console sales won’t really ever flourish if it still sends its games over to PC. But if they did that, they really won’t make any money cause it’s way too late to buy an Xbox at this point, PS5 has the lead by a mile.
But I disagree with what you said where games don’t sell consoles. Games completely sell consoles. If Phil Spencer sacked up and asked for a proper Banjo Kazooie sequel to sell exclusively on Xbox I would definitely buy an Xbox again(sold mine since I didn’t use it), and so would a bunch of die hard Nintendo fans.
No clue.
Console sales don't matter all the much since they sell at a loss. As long as people are subscribing or buying in the ecosystem, that's all that matters.
@@MasterofLightningConsole sales always matter.
@@SilverJoystixNot when you have the whole market to get more subs/game sales, MTXs etc, sure it's always good to sell the box, but the box is only one strategy that Xbox has.
3:30 when everybody pays for xbox, we all win.

@@joejoe2658 when every ponies pay for xbox, we all win.
🤔🎮 PS5 Pro $700?? Xbox Series X with 2TB of storage $600 with Game pass Lol
handheld? - serious? ugh no... are you kidding me? fix your branding first.. my goodness X-Box is a shell of itself since the 360 days..
Hope they finally use hall effects on their garbage controller. I have 8 xbox controller in my room, all have potentiameter problem.
Second!
First.
The argument comes down to if Xbox is desperate for money and sales numbers then why are they still making any game exclusive? Why are they signing 3rd party timed exclusive deals? Give up on all your exclusives, sell them on PS make a boatload of cash up front amd realize your console is dead. My guess is the series consoles (S and X) are the last full sized consoles Xbox will do, they will continue to release all their IPs onto PS slowly to the point their is nothing on Xbox you cant play on PS while nothing major from PS will be on Xbox and ar that point they will release the handheld that has access to gamepass to try and entice those PS owners to buy a cheaper portable console.
My friends can gth... Oh who am I kidding I play because I have no friends
As a “diehard” Xbox fan, I “should” be upset that Xbox exclusives are headed to PS, but I’m not. I think this is the future of the industry, no more console exclusives, and Microsoft is just ahead of the game.
Microsoft still need exclusives if they do not do this they will be no reason to buy an Xbox console ever again simple as that. No one wants to be paying $80 for a game and $1000 for a console because that's exactly what will happen if Sony is on their own.
The answer is Sony hardware is ugly and inferior. The only real reason it ever performs better is because it's the lead platform with more development and optimization time. Facts. Xbox is best.
Bradley the only one going all digital is xbo because they need to make every penny of that 80 billion back lol. Sony is building a facility in s. America specifically for the manufacturing of physical games. Smh nobody is following Xbox. Nobody cares about it only in the us and that is dwindling
the simple reality is the PlayStation community don't buy games look at how much money PlayStation is losing
They are not making a handheld lol. Ms stays keeping you xbots chasing a carrot on a string. Cut your losses fools. They are a 3rd party publisher.
