If Xbox Does This, The New Xbox Will Dominate

With all the Xbox news today about games going to PlayStation and a new console, I had a bit of a theory about what Xbox has planned. Here's what I think the next Xbox console and Xbox handheld will do that could change the industry forever.

Context: There have been several reports that an Xbox Handheld will be coming as well as an Xbox Series Pro type console that will also be coming shortly after. A new Xbox Dev Kit was spotted in the wild. The new Xbox handheld game console was reported by Windows Central and Jez Corden, but the Xbox handheld rumors have raged for years and even Phil Spencer has said that he would love a new Xbox console in handheld form. The New Xbox Console 2024 news is all about the dev kit that was spotted in Korea.

Should the next Xbox be more open? Let me know your thoughts!

I swear to God if the next Xbox includes access to Steam I'll actually buy that shit day one happy as a clam.

The reason the og Xbox was appealing to me was the fact it had more pc games that came to it. As someone who couldn't keep up with upgrading a pc or wanted to troubleshoot all the time, having a console that just worked hooked me. So if they went more pc design, it would feel more like they went back to their roots.

Bro it still feels like this Gen hasn't even kicked off

If Microsoft did this, if Microsoft did that, that's all I hear everyday yet they do nothing.

Xbox just basically needs to release a custom PC in a console form. A platform where you can access almost any storefront out there. Count me in.

How does Microsoft make money with this? Selling consoles *costs* them money. Selling a hundred million consoles is a hundred million *losses* on their balance sheet. They currently make that back on game sales, but if those sales go to Valve instead there’s simply no profit anywhere in the equation.

This is exactly the kind of system I have been dreaming about since the Nintendo and Sega Wars.

Xbox don't need a hand held device! They need consistent GOTY contender games!!!

You forgot one crucial thing Destin, PlayStation would just block their games on Xbox even if Xbox Next has Steam. PlayStation blocks the ability to play their first party games via GeForce now on Xbox.

We are watching the current "most powerful console ever" sit on shelves and sell less than half of the competitors.
The next "most powerful console ever" will have to shake it up drastically, or it will absolutely suffer the same fate.
I'm not really sure Satya and the like would be all in on the loss leader hardware angle though, and the power we're talking about here will be expensive all the way around - especially in a hand held

Poor Destin always bumping with the same rock 🪨

Can't a steamdeck already do all of this? It has all the Xbox and all PS games they have released on PC and it's not dominating the market. Also if Xbox is bringing over all their games then why would people leave PS?

[proggz]

Nothing’s saving Xbox as a brand at this point, aside from releasing great games as a 3rd party

[DesignedByTaz]

Not going to lie, that’s a sick idea.

Xbox "the most powerful console ever" is so sad at this point. No Xbox has ever taken advantage of it's power. They never max out their potential because they move on to the next thing so blindly

[comedicallyinclined]

What does Steam get out of putting their stuff on Xbox? I bet Gaben doesn’t want to deal with Microsoft compliance constantly.

Destin I hope the family is doing well man. Also I thought you would continue the trend of just moving the plant in your video and play find the plant in the background

[jacoblesperance]

People who think this are going to happen are delusional.
The Xbox store subsidize the hardware.
Putting steam on it means Xbox makes no money.
So the handheld is gonna cost $899
And the actual console over 1k.
I'm glad you said this is your fantasy Destin, cause that's exactly what this is, lol

I see dominate and xbox in the same sentence and have to chuckle
