I’d be surprised if Xbox is a thing in 5 years after this news. The way things are right now Microsoft can’t make an Xbox console that will succeed by any metric. Maybe it’ll stick around as software.
Phil had to salvage the brand after the fucking disaster that was Xbox One and I don’t think he was terrible but it clearly wasn’t working out.
Replacing him with the head of Core AI is a fucking joke though.
With the cost of hardware skyrocketing and Sony closing studios gaming is in a really dark place right now.

Gaming is in a great place. AAA gaming is not, because of-fucking-course corpos don’t understand art.
It’s not all bad. AI can make some great creative games with lots of soul. There will be hundreds.
Please add /s if you’re being sarcastic because otherwise you just look like a fool.
That’s an obvious joke.
You’d hope, but it’s 2026 and there are some people who fucking date AIs. And fuck them.
Soooooo yeahhhhh, clarification would be appreciated.
@hitmyspot@aussie.zone do you date ais?
