This Is INSANE - The End Of Xbox Is Here...?

Following a whirlwind of backbreaking rumors, the Xbox community is in an uproar as the brand seems poised to announce a major shift in direction next week. Xbox games to PlayStation and Switch. Is it all for short term game or is this another Xbox One era moment for the brand as they take another major optical blow.

As a playstation/Nintendo guy this fucking sucks, less competition means higer prices and less innovation.

This is wild.
As a Xbox person I couldn't care less about Xbox games going to other platforms, but the potential that access to the digital library I've been building for generations could be in jeopardy down the road is really a kick in the balls.

This is the first time the “this is insane” title has been relevant.

Breaks my heart to see this. I am 51 years old and have been an XBOX live member for 20 years straight. Lucky for me I have an original Xbox, 2 360’s with one still in the box brand spanking new, an Xbox One X, and an entire library of hard disk and downloaded games to last me the life of the consoles I have. It will be sad to see Xbox end but it’s been a fun run.

Words can’t explain how much I regret getting an Xbox series X instead of a better pc

Imagine being split between getting an xbox for their exclusives or ps5 for theres, make the hard decision to go the xbox route, THEN find out that in the end, you couldve gotten the majority of both with PS5. Id be fucking pissed

Don Mattrick and his XBox One "vision" killed the roll XBox was on with the 360 and they never recovered

[Ulliam]

Turns out spending 79 billion killed the xbox brand

I've been an Xbox gamer for over 15 years and I've never felt so down on the brand. The future of Xbox hardware is bleak. It's a shame really because now more than ever WE HAVE GAMES to be excited about and yet they pulled the plug on exclusives...too soon.

[Molybed]

With Sega it was sudden. There were rumors that a Dreamcast 2 was in the works weeks before Sega pulled out of hardware. Keep that in mind.

[TheDJMeyer]

I’m old enough to remember when Sega announced their exit from the console business. Everyone knew it was inevitable, despite critics and gamers loving the Dreamcast, the system was basically killed by Sega’s previous decisions. It was still a sort of sad day when it was officially declared Sega would just become a developer/publisher

[XxChristmanXx]

They're going to be a software developer? Hasn't the issue the last 10 years been a lack of games?

[NostalgiaNet]

I feel the writing has been on the wall for years.

[CrazyOtaku]

Harambe’s death sent us down the wrong timeline.

[andrewduda]

Maybe the most pivotal moment in modern gaming. I was hoping you would release a video quickly. Thanks man!!

[oneandonlyJonnySad]

I’m a Series X and PS5 owner. I play certain games in a certain device. This doesn’t phase me in the slightest. Xbox simply can’t sustain their exclusive output with Gamepass subs.

[AdamH]

I'm worried about how long my Xbox and games will continue to work. I'm sure as hell not moving forward with Xbox if this happens, so how long will my 17 years of history and investment actually work?

[rafasw]

I gotta stop buying digital games for Xbox..

[robertallshouse]

Sega downfall was really sad because the Dreamcast was ahead of its time and it had so many good games. The writing has been on the wall for Xbox since don mattrick showed off the Xbox one.

[willbearheart]

False. Way to be a part of the group of gaming news channels that went and spread this rumor with no idea of what you guys were talking about lol. It's literally 4 games that are going to other platforms. And not big time releases either.
