Fuck yourself to death, Microsoft.
Living in a multi-gamer household currently with nine gamers. We would be looking at around $15k to get everyone the new Xbox when it comes out!?
I can’t even anymore.
You can buy a cheap guitar for about £100. Beats Guitar Hero
Or you could turn to a life of crime. Beats Grand Theft Auto

No discs, no sale.
I’m only afraid that Gamers will actually fucking buy it, and Microsoft (and others) will learn that gamers will keep buying consolee for almost 2k dollars, and then future consoles will never go down in price. Just like it happened with graphics cards, when Nvidia learned that gamers would buy 2x Titan class gpus (which were not supposed to be a gaming card), and then discovered they could sell a 90 class for 1500+ dollars (and going up with each generation) and the fuckers would still gladly buy it, and that they would also still buy cards with prices inflated at 200~300% values during the crypto boom.
I predict it gets canceled.
I suppose if the AI bubble pops, and memory and CPU prices crash, then maybe it will happen. But, that’s going to be very hard on the entire economy, so maybe it will be canceled for that reason, instead.
No thanks, going to stick with my gaming PC I got like 4 years ago.
Yeah, my steam deck still works fine for most games. And when steam deck 2 comes along, I’ll be ordering one immediately.
Does it massage my balls as well for that price or…
Xbox Elite ControllerRRRRrrrr…
At that price (which will probably be closer to 2k CAD) I think my console gaming life will be over. It was a good run from NES to now.
Steam deck is looking more and more appealing or just build my own computer again
With these sorts told prices being rumoured I’m not sure how viable this next generation is going to be.
Disposable incomes are dwindling, future economic prospects look…uncertain to put it positively. Parents especially sleek unlikely to spend 4 figures on a console when their kids already have phones.
Guess i’m done with video games for the next…forever
I don’t think I could ever be done with video games but I’m done supporting the (current) video game economy besides supporting the second hand market. Luckily for me I don’t care at all about cutting edge stuff and I prefer to play PSX, PS2, and N64 games. There are still so many classics from those consoles in my backlog I haven’t even got to yet.
So fucking glad I built a PC in 2023.
They could charge 12 dollars, I’m still not buying it.
Let me check between my couch cushions…
