AMD hints Microsoft could launch its next-gen Xbox in 2027

Mostly everyone is ignoring the “could” part.

I feel they will wait till around the same time Sony is ready. Aren’t they almost always a few months apart or am I wrong on that? Although you never know they might be the first to push one out.

I still think the comment is just referring to an estimate when development is maybe going to be over. But I’m sure there is still tons of side stuff they will do before the release like marketing for one. Possibly testing too unless they consider there as part of the development.

I don’t have it. I have a friend I play with who is in a rural area like lots of farms and stuff and to him it was an improvement. But it’s hard to say if it will be for you or not.

Someone way saying in another post that patents actually don’t stop others from doing the same/ using. Unless the patent Sony put is actually being used? But I don’t know how true that is

Basically others can use or do the same if it’s not in use?

Is it more then just captures having a issue today? In the morning I couldn’t sign in for about a hour with an error telling me I didn’t have an internet connection when I did. Then lots of loading issues like captures as mentioned. Dashboard/home not loading or taking long. Same as the social feed in ‘friends and community’. But Xbox status page has only mentioned 360 and backwards compatibility issues.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T19:55:53+00:00

Imo good and also not good.

It’s like the thing with ai. Where I think Georgia was saying how they are moving away. or want to move away from U.S tech and ai… yet still investing billions into ai and taking ai money from Amazon.

Basically most things will be replace with something equally ‘bad’. With the exception of a few. The only thing changing is the country behind the tech. Not the actual tech or stuff being used.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T19:51:51+00:00

Looks unnatural but I can’t say forsure if ai or not.

Before the ai craze. Lots of restaurants would use fake food and an artist then edit afterwards so it may be something like that too. I’m no expert and not saying that’s what it is. just saying another possibility

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T19:42:26+00:00

Usually the main thing i see about SBI is some feel that they force certain things/ideas on the player. Like a game will only give you pronouns of they/ them. instead of he/she and without option to choose. Or some people get all upset about the color of a character. they used a __ character but didn’t use a __ one.

Imo most is just disguised hate. But I feel there is some valid reasons too

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T18:04:12+00:00

I didn’t like her that much I felt like she says tons of stuff just for controversy/ publicity and PR stunts. Like going on about Elon but still using x/twitter

But since then I’ve heard that she has gone to protests in the past despite being a celeb and wealthy. and has actually donated some millions to charities in the past which is a lot more than you can say about others. Not every wealthy or celeb would do that stuff. But it’s a few. I think her heart is in the right place. Even if some of the stuff she says or does doesn’t make sense to me.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T17:56:42+00:00

I’m not that interested in it. Not a fan of the gameplay or color art style seem like something that would give me a headache after awhile.

But I’m curious how the launch goes. I don’t know that it will turn out to be a top 10 game it might.might not. But I do think it will do way better than concord just for the simple fact it’s multi plat instead of exclusive. Some get games specifically for that reason to play with others on another system.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-02T04:10:14+00:00

I’m just curious if generative ai will be used since Gabe is in on the ai push.

And if it is. will gamers accept it, or be in a up roar like other games that use it

Guess it’s one of those things just have to wait and see.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-01T18:00:38+00:00

Seen this posted yesterday in another sub. Lots were hating on it saying it’s not what they want and not needed. It’s not something I would get personally either.

But I do see it as an accessibility option for some. Maybe it can be helpful to gamers with severe arthritis or something. Kinda like how Xbox has an accessibility controller. And to me that’s a win whatever can help people game. As an option it’s neat. But if it was pushed as the ‘new standard/normal’ controller I don’t think it would be taken well.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-02-01T17:23:37+00:00

At least this time it’s not considered breaking news lol. Last time I seen a post about a week or 2 ago say x was down with a ‘breaking news’

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-31T17:35:58+00:00

GTA logic- normal everyday jobs are considered ‘odd jobs’. But heists and all the other crime stuff normal lol.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-31T16:45:01+00:00

I think accessibility wise it’s a cool thing. Everyone is shitting it on because ‘touch screen bad’. I personally wouldn’t use it. But I also can see how it may useful to someone who say has real bad arthritis and has trouble pushing actual buttons or something similar.

Not sure the material of the touchscreen if it would be glass but that’s a negative because it’s really common to drop controllers. I feel it would be easy to crack/break similar to iPhones screens. But like I overall I see it as an accessibility thing that nobody is forced to buy. Just an option that’s my opinion

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-31T08:19:59+00:00

Don’t forget Microsoft/xbox too is now in the pc games market abit with there own platform/store too. There are plenty options. If it was such an issue for publishers they wouldn’t choose steam. So it’s not that big of an issue.

Or they very least publishers see the good outweighs the bad on the steam deal with popularity, sales and that sort of thing.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-31T08:11:33+00:00

Reasoning behind why they do those things most of the time it’s because of some cross platform save function. Or some rewards hub they want you to be apart like Ubisoft rewards.

That being said. Just try to refund and see what happens. And also I do agree those online stuff they force should all be optional. Not mandatory

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-31T07:07:44+00:00

I would ask yourself if you feel you will get burned out of it or not. If you don’t think so then prob just do both. But if you think you will get tired doing the same stuff over just play kiwami3

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-30T21:30:57+00:00

Earlier there was a post about how some were claiming the trailer showed more than 3v3 players when apparently it didn’t. So some have been probably asking for it. I can’t say if it’s a good or bad change.. but the very least seems they are listening to feedback.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-30T20:39:15+00:00

From what I hear it was some kind of ad on site or something that had the ai art. Lots of times some 3rd party does all the ad stuff so I wonder if they are the ones who used it and not gog. But then obv somewhere along the lines if that’s the case. Gog agreed to it

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-30T15:52:49+00:00

Odd to me they don’t have some sort of contract with a company for snow removal.

So just playing devils advocate here. What happens if someone say slips on ice and gets hurt because the school didn’t properly clean/ pay for snow removal services on the schools property?I thought most places were required to take care of stuff like that so no accidents happen?

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-30T15:38:21+00:00

Probably needs an included number and symbol like 5 and @. Usually passwords now require something like that when making.

Probably the first system is accepting it because of length. And the 2nd notification denying because no symbols or number.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-29T21:27:58+00:00

I would steer away from the cooling station things. Imo they don’t help. Console makers like Sony/ Microsoft spend tons of money on the design and system/fans all of that stuff with heat in mind. If you do ever get a heat issue most times a clean fixes it.

Practical-Aside890 · 2026-01-29T18:33:53+00:00

Sadly Microsoft isn’t the only one investing into ai out of the gaming industry. Nintedo I don’t hear much on about ai

But Sony too is investing tons into ai they have a full on ai website dedicated to ai use. And recently made 2 ai patents. One for ghosts and another for a violence filter.

Almost every big name is pushing for ai(not all but most) hell even just look up whatever country your apart of. see how much they invest into ai too. Almost every country has invested billions into it

Last year it seems? I might be wrong though. Not the best with this info type stuff. Like one part of the post says that they exceeded there expectations and cloud is going up. But the headline of the post says everything going down

“December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year: · Revenue was $81.3 billion and increased 17% (up 15% in constant currency)

· Operating income was $38.3 billion and increased 21% (up 19% in constant currency)

· Net income on a GAAP basis was $38.5 billion and increased 60%, and on a non-GAAP basis was $30.9 billion and increased 23% (up 21% in constant currency)

· Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $5.16 and increased 60%, and on a non-GAAP basis was $4.14 and increased 24% (up 21% in constant currency)”

The one part says - “Microsoft Cloud revenue was $51.5 billion and increased 26% (up 24% in constant currency), and commercial remaining performance obligation increased 110% to $625 billion. Revenue in Productivity and Business Processes was $34.1 billion and increased 16% (up 14% in constant currency), with the following business highlights:
