Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Says Xbox Must Finally Become a Sustainable Business After 25 Years of Investment

Yes. Sure. It's the games are the waste of money.

Hey co-pilot, use a few peta-cycles and the RAM of a small city to try to detect what kind of document I'm working on writing!

You can't tell me the 360 days weren't profitable!! All the controllers, Kinects, Xbox Live, all that stuff sold, for 11+years as the leader... The Kinect, at one point, was the fastest selling electronic ever...

Yup, the decline came when MS decided to dilute the Xbox with crap like an focus on watching TV and streaming. That's something noone wanted, and so the costumers went for the platform that actually focused on gaming - the Playstation. After this decision, which i am very sure came from execs which didn't understand their product, they have been forced to play catch up.

The Kinect was the tits and I'm still cross about how they killed it.

Old ones are still being used as a full body tracking mod for VRChat

genius… quick give him a couple of billions

He’s getting ready to kill Xbox

Which is great, MS should be the farthest away from PC gaming as possible.

I disagree. A successful Xbox kept Sony on leash. That’s no longer the case.

I think Valve will step in for that, and Sony will have a hard time competing.

They're very different customer bases. Although with the Steam Machine out, closer than ever. But the likely price difference will make things hard for Valve.

As if Sony is the only player here. We're literally in /c/pcmasterrace.

Consoles became irrelevant when they were no longer the graphical leader a few generations ago.

They are in the console space.. you’d be surprised but there people that can’t be bothered with building a computer and doing all this tech stuff. They just want to buy a machine where you put game disc and game plays.

Then buy a pre-built PC.

That's Steam's secret: The Steam Machine is just a damn pre-built PC.

Xbox did nothing for PC gaming. Valve did.

25 years? Bitch, you've been neglecting it for the last 10.

They are about to shift the losses from AI onto the XBOX division - that’s what this statement means

Yeah and I, a guy, say Satya Nadella, the deluded imbecile, must resign. Just saying.

They are gonna try to push developers to use more and more cloud resources, in a goldmine sell shovels

Sounds a lot like a parent* telling their offspring to get out and get a job. Lol - that’s what popped in my head

Oof, the worst timing.
