    I bought mine assuming the new Fable would be a console exclusive.

    I also use it for Halo and Morrowind. But damn, I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known it would be multi-platform.

      Suppose I find one used for cheap. Is there a way — and would it be worth it — to repurpose it as an affordable gaming PC?

        It was bleak when they came in 4th in a 3-console race last holiday season.

        Yeah, that was surprising. Sounds like a joke, but it actually happened (on Amazon).

          Never buy on a promise what could be in future. But on the other hand, you will be able to play Fable on the console. It doesn't get worse just because its not exclusive...

              Next they'll just have copilot play the games for us! Of course there will be a mandatory price increase

                What constantly telegraphing to the entire industry that you’re basically planning on bailing on the Hardware business and that you really don’t care about your consumer base at all. Has come back to bite them in the ass. I’m shocked I tell you shocked.

                  Never stood a chance! I really hope they learned their lesson and stay out of the gaming market. They introduced pay to play online while PS3 was free. Then they tried to buy all the big publishers to hoard games and make them more expensive. Fuck Xbox!

                    We still have an Xbox One, and last year was really the first year that games were no longer available for that console. We ended up getting those games on steam and got a 2nd steam deck during the sale. I think we'll wait a few more years to see how prices keep changing. Also want to see how the Steam Machine does, although I'm sure it'll be expensive compared to a console.

                      Nothing brings me more joy than seeing this. After they closed their only good studios because their bigger, mediocre ones didn't make enough money, I haven't even booted my Series X since

                        That's what I meant by multiplatform. I don't fully regret my Xbox because I got it one of those steep discounts and I have Halo lan parties. So a second xbox is nice. But it's essentially just a more powerful Xbox One now.

                          I already have a PS5 which I'll get it on. I got the Xbox on a discount to play Halo Infinite with good specs (ended up hating it) and Fable. I kinda hoped for some other benefits. But end of the day, I didn't actually need it for anything.

                            Yeah when they raised the gamepass price from $20 to $30 I sold my XSX. PlayStation has always been better as far as consoles go anyway now I just rock my PC and for any invasive kernal level anti cheat that won't work on Linux (thankfully) I just get those for PlayStation.

                            I always hated Xbox but they actually got me to buy one of their consoles simply because the game pass used to be such a good deal. And they even fucked that up.

                            Won't be long and they will not make anymore consoles. Or just pay to put the Xbox branding on a PC which is what they are doing with the handheld coming out.

                              I was going to try this too before selling it but they straight have that shit locked down to an insane degree. No way that I could find to jailbreak it in anyway.

                                  That's a shame 😞

                                  It'd have been nice if we got to do some general computing on it with a jailbreak.

                                    I recently got an Xbox One S to play my 360 games via remote play but $10 a month for Xbox live is ridiculous
