The original Super Mario Bros. used less memory than a Tik Tok post, and its still a great game to this day.

I feel like they haven’t even utilised the current hardware to its maximum potential yet.

New X Box ? The current one was only released 5 minutes ago

A lot of people are now going back and playing retro games which were fun, great enough and didn't need as much power as what they keep trying to put in current AAA games with today's hardware.

As a Xbox owner, I have no idea what Xbox leadership is doing...The pushback and negativity is well earned. I hope..hope...the PR nightmare will make them learn how wrong they are..but who knows

I agree, we do not need more powerful hardware. A shift in focus in supporting game developers would enhance the the gaming industry for all involved tremendously.

The last gen was already powerful enough. The Xbox leadership is out to lunch.

She has "hedge fund investor" written all over her. I'm tired of these corpos who have totally no idea what they are selling.

This is starting to be a interesting era, could it lead to burnout/crash like in 1983 but without the junk games but costs?

The x is basically 4 years old and by the time this is released it’ll be about 6-7 years old which is a traditional lifespan for these consoles. Personally if it isn’t a leap like OG Xbox and 360, I’m not interested. The last two generations haven’t been that significant.

They'll probably call it the Xe/xer-Box

Talking about future hardware mostly a message to the investors "we're in it for the long term so keep buying our shares"

She has shown a lot of passion during previous interviews and showcases. It´s clear she was being pushed by the higher ups within Microsoft itself, and did not want to be there.

This new videogame consoles aren't meant for people who likes to you know play games anyone but for people who buy the most recent hardware just for the fact that is the most recent (even xbox series and PS5 felt like that). I'm super happy with my switch lite and steam deck right now, we don't need super powerful consoles we want good games

Ubisoft and the state of the Assassin's Creed series is a topic of some discussion 🤔 Earlier, when i was talking about it

soon we will be at apple levels of product refresh

The speech was for the share holders

Do they intend to put any games on this one?

What's the point of upgrading the hardware if it is already too expensive to make best use of the current hardware?

Any games for current gen XBox yet?

This gen hasn't even begun to reach its full potential yet.

It seems that this "next gen" XBox is geared for the next generation of remakes. For games that already had HD assets, it's mostly a retread with a new render engine, shaders, and lighting. And if Microsoft creates an automated remake system like RTX Remix to do the heavy lifting, studios could churn out "remasters" by the boat load with minimum effort and costs...at AAA prices. While the bean counters and execs would bust a nut over such a prospect, I think the response from most gamers would be fairly flaccid.

Also, the reason that gaming is in a dire strait is because of triple A's own making. We've seen it demonstrated time and again that smaller focus, smaller budget games (like Senua's Sacrifice) make it and do it bloody well. That demonstrates their problem but they won't learn because that not only goes against the corporate structure but they don't understand their product anyway.

Neo geo jumped the gun and you saw how they turned out; abundance in graphics in a 16bit format....so far ahead only drug dealers(true story) and some rich kids had one, we kids were blown away by snes and genesis and figuratively bought the arcade home, Neo Geo literally bought the arcade home. I can go on forever but you get the point.

I heard that they are planning to release a new system during holiday 2024 it would be interesting to see what that would be.

Sarah Bond is a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion executive. She worked with McKinsey & Company, a "Sweey Baby Inc." style firm which has not only sold DEI, but also helped market oxycontin. She's a 45 year old black woman who I'm pretty sure has never owned a game console in her life.

Nintendo was right, Xbox is continuing to go down this unsustainable path of more power, more needless billions. At the end of the day Sarah Bond is not a gamer and Xbox overall isn’t run by people are passionate about gaming. They’re doing a Sega, if the current strategy fails just get made a new next gen console.

I always appreciated your retrospective videos so I was hesitant to see you do something else but your takes on video game culture are solid.

I even fired up an old laptop with the NES and SNES emulator and playing all games and downloading more all over again reliving memories when I was 10 years old 35 years ago. I'm enjoying that more now actually.

they are "forcing" the platform ,teasing and tempting hardware improvement as a strategy to gain support and attempt to overcome platform saturation

I'm all about a new Xbox. Especially since they're talking about different form factors. They're powerful enough now to have a handheld Xbox that can play our full library. That's what we need. We won't know the full details until it happens but they have different ideas now and we should give them a chance.

You make such a great point about using your PS 5 to mostly play PS 4 games. I do the same as well on my PS 5. Just a few months back I actually got a Xbox Series X too...main reason was to play my 360 library cause I want to give my 360 a rest now cause the disc drive struggles to open nowadays. So yeah got a Series X to mainly play 360 games. The only Series X game I got so far is Forza Horizen 5 as a pack in 😅

Oh, Microsoft! What are you smoking?!

Great video thank you I’ve subscribed 👍

I love the way you communicate and write!!!!!

I'm still playing on my xbox one and it's pretty satisfactory...

I would like a handheld Xbox, you could have games on it but also have mobile games like candy crush as a separate category

The current console isn't selling as well as theyd like, so they're basically ditching it and rushing to get something else out in the hopes that it'll do better. Im sure everyone who purchased a SeriesX/S will really appreciate this strategy.

You're correct on the information. Like I said in the past completely not interested in the XBOX because I don't like the controller. Its more cost effective, fun, and portable to just play games on my phone. The games may be limited. But I want something simple and entertaining not a cinematic theater type of game play. That's why I only played The Final Fantasy XIII series on my PS3 I was so excited and interested in Final Fantasy XIII on its debut I bought the only thing I could afford which was the players guide. I liked drawing the art work. Year's later, 2017 when I bought a PS3 for $20.00 I finally got to play the game. I liked it so I bought the next game in the series and then the one after the completing all three while my leg was in a cast and I was in a wheelchair healing. The games were fun but didn't have much replay value and I felt like it was and advanced version of the Sega CD where you're basically pressing buttons to view a film. A really long one. I like the classic side scrolling games like Super Metroid or Mega Man. Especially the Mega Man Battle Network series. I remember playing Mario 64 on the Christmas the year it came out thinking I don't know if I really like the time consuming areas to concor with changing camera angles. Even Zelda 64 was time consuming because you had to traverse too much landscape where as classic gaming just had levels. Like Super Metroid was fun because you could literally complete the vast areas and complete the game in about three hours. I didn't like Metroid Prime as much because of the complicated jumps. Metroid Prime 2 was worse I played it for six months and couldn't complete it because it was too encrypted and I never found the final Boss and for several weeks I was running thru every arena trying to find the final area and eventually gave up. I played it for a few hours each night after working two jobs. Twilight Princess came out and I played it for a few days and didn't really have the time to dive into another realm. I liked Kingdom Hearts. But the second one was ridiculous and I didn't complete it. Sora flying around with dual Keyblades was just not interesting in fact I had more fun playing Chain of memories and on my DS even though it was a Gameboy Advance game. And I even completed the second playthrough because the game had action and wasn't too complicated to play. I even bought the actual card game and played it with my little brother because it was simple and fun. The new games I feel like I need binoculars to handle all of the graphics. It's a bit ridiculous. I shouldn't have to risk flipping the circuit breaker to run an unaffordable gaming system. Anyway thanks for the screenshot clips of games I'll never play because of you at least I can understand where gaming went from the PS3 which is usually playing an Ah! My Goddess DVD because even cable TV is to expensive and not really something I want. I'm just happy hearing one of the DVDs in the background while I play games on my phone or watching something interesting on KZfaq. Thank you for describing gaming from a decent perspective and keeping people informed on the gaming industry. Have nice day _

Wonderfully said... loved the video. I do the same with my PS5 right now, mostly for the PS4 RPGs I missed and dipping into next gen stuff when it's out there. Happy with the current generation of hardware.

Yes they are working on the new one, but they are locking so much down that if they go forward with it, it will tank in sales. PS. I know what brand mic Adam Patrick Murray at PCWorld uses, but i would like to know what brand microphone YOU are using, because it carries great audio.

Hi, I enjoy your content and subscribed to your channel. What’s your opinion on the possibility of a new Sony PlayStation handheld?

They want a head start in the next generation simular to when they went from the original Xbox to Xbox 360 to get a year start on Sony

I could only imagine that they release new hardware because of either their push for ARM or an integrated NPU. I mean at this point I don't quite know the use-cases of an NPU, but its all the rage in the tech-sphere right now. Whatever it exactly can do I'm sure there are a couple use-cases for gaming.

I love Nintendo but the switch is an anomaly which thrives predominantly on 1st party games. It’s a portable machine that can be docked at home so people give it a pass but If it was a standalone home console it is woefully underpowered and would not have sold as many units

you know, apparently there will be an xbox (branded?) meta quest coming out soon...

I actually like this new direction for the channel, I could see Lady Decade growing to one day to be one of the top gaming news channels because she knows how to properly research the topic and her British accent elevates the content by lending it a sense of legitimacy that American KZfaqrs just don’t have. I feel like I’m listening to a BBC news broadcast when she’s discussing the topic.

Great points as usual. Thank you!

This actually could make sense. If they find a way to mix Unreal engine 5, or 6 with A.I. generation. They could have a gaming console that literally makes real life Matrix or holodeck from Star Trek TNG level of graphics. And with a.i. you really only need to program it once then all you have to do is ask it to make a game of any description you can think of. It could be possible in a few years.

I think this direction is working out. As long as there's still some obscure retro videos sometimes I think it'll work out well. Also, I completely agree. I haven't had an xBox since the 360, and even though I got a good amount of use out if my ps4, the ps5 seems too pricey to be worth it since there aren't that many games I "Just have to play". So not at all ready for a ps6...

I feel sad. I have been a happy Xbox supporter since the OG and 360…until now. My series X will be the last console I own (aside from my several retro consoles). I’m losing faith and going straight to PC only. I can’t put down RE4 randos and RE4R! (And can’t wait for the full rando for REmake to come out soon, it’s in beta now!)

I think a more powerful console is great time to move forward

I totally agree with you, Lady Decade, that MS is really growing out of touch with their audience and that DEI hire they call the president of XBox development is becoming the poster child for this. Games from the current Gen consoles are already, for the most part, overpriced and under delivering, which is only causing their console fans to become more and more disillusioned with them. We all are in the grips of a global recession and just don't have the expendable income to waste on the next prettier/flasher experience, especially when we know from the last 5 years or so that it's probably not going to be worth the price. Unfortuantely the greedy and now woked MS is too busy trying to keep their ESG rating up to notice that their titantic corporation is taking on more water than their pumps can handle and is slipping deeper and deeper into the icy depths of reality.

The current 9th generation of gaming feels just like the last 8th generation of gaming consoles. I really do believe that Sony and Microsoft have reached their peak and only Nintendo and PC games will lead the current and next generation with fun games and new ideas And also, if AAA studios want to stay in business then they better take the square enix approach and stop making console exclusives.

When I played Super Mario Bros from the first time I was so impressed because the screen scrolled horizontally. Then came Super Mario World and it was a great leap compared to the first super mario brothers, then again Super Mario 64 expanded to 3D environment, analog thumbstick (controller so confusing at the time for me), it was a great leap in graphics indeed. Nowadays it seems we came to a plateau, and new IP's are scarse. We pay more and get less, that's how I feel.

I feel like eventually they will just allow you to build PCs on their website and they will have XBox on some kind of Chip or something or just Gamepass.

9:15 bruh so true

I think they put way to much effort into games looking pretty. If they worked more on game play and story instead, and with the memory saved on art they could make the game world larger, they could save development cost.

You should def get stellar blade when it's on sale it's my Goty atm i understand not wanting to be ripped off power to the people sorry to hear they think they can rip off the britts!

I remember when i got my original xbox with halo that was something special to me that really showcased what that hardware could do. Today i have every xbox console and i do enjoy gamepass but to me it really feels like their is no soul to it.

My two cents on the matter is something I have been preaching for years. I've been of the mindset, similarly to what you mentioned here, that technological leaps have not been as great with recent generations as they were with the older generations. This is known as a singularity (pretty sure this is the term I am looking for) where the bounds of technological progress are pushed so fast and so frequent you eventually reach a point where improvements are no longer leaps and bounds, but tiny incremental steps. With technology and development costs being so much and development cycles taking so long I feel like we are at a point where a standard 5-7 year cycle for a console just doesn't cut it anymore and that we should be trying to stretch them out longer to allow newer technology more time to develop generating those bigger leaps again. I really do feel like we released the next generation a couple years too early and I feel like this is why the PS4 and Switch still sell so well as their prices are almost half or more off while also giving experiences pretty close in quality to the PS5 and Series X just lacking the few improvements those systems really have. Edit: I should also add that holding onto a generation longer would also allow the added benefit of giving both consumers and developers a little breathing room as the they'd no longer be looking to reinvest in new tech every few years and give developers time to further learn to stretch their technology and possibly lower dev cycles due to better competency related to mastering the capabilities of that tech. Good luck with this, as the tech industry is essentially an arms race of who does what first and the only way that would happen is if the big three sat down and agreed upon this, but this already technically what Nintendo did with the Switch anyway repurposing aging smart phone tech in a portable console.

There is NO reason to introduce "more powerful" hardware until developers say they are constrained by the current hardware.

Do they want to develop games for the hardware?

I totally agree with everything you said

I get the impression that X-Box is on the route similar to one that led Commodore to bankruptcy.

Hello Lady Decade! How are you?

I am not against them closing studios from a financial standpoint. I mean if ya got 10 game studios working on games there is a chance to flood the market. Instead ya got the IPS the studios own why not close a few and move those IPs to one of the remaining ones, stagger releases so each remaining studio isn’t under a crunch.

PC Master race. we don't do generations we just win. with freedom and quality.

Your not the only one LD, the PS5 is the true PS4 Pro. Spider-Man and GoW with higher frame rates look so good

Nintendo is doing well though. I play plenty of Nintendo games, plus rthey have a vast library of retro games included with their online membership gameplay.

I hope you're right and speak for the masses about hardware because online there is a lot of 60 frame and ray tracing lust going on.

I want to add to my previous comments. I’m 74 and have played video games since Pong! My first System was the Fairchild VES which was the first game cartridge game system. Next was the Atari 2600 followed by the Atari 800 computer, the Nintendo SNES, N64, Xbox, 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Series S and X (I have both). I did briefly own a Playstation 2, but returned it. I also have a GameCube and a Wii. As for handhelds I own the Atari Lynx. So, I have been involved with this past time for a long time and have witnessed the improvements along the way. We don’t need anymore ‘improvements’ ! The graphics are so good that there really isn’t a need for better resolution. I think it’s fair to say that the game industry has reached the point where they are basically out if ideas. There’s just nothing new or innovative coming forth. Halo is my favorite franchise and Halo Infinite is basically the same as Combat Evolved with better graphics! Reach is my favorite with ODST a close second. However, they are all the same basic idea. Same goes for every franchise be it sports, driving, flying, fighting, etc. We all wanted better realistic graphics and they really are very realistic with some being maybe a bit too realistic. So, I really do agree with you when you point out that we don’t need a more powerful console. They haven’t even squeezed everything out of the current crop! That’s what amazed me was all that programmers were able to do with the humble 6502 8 bit processor! Anyway, you are correct! Good video!

You hit the nail right on the head

Well I want one now since I dont have a Series X

Instead of hardware makers imposing on game developers, maybe game developers, somehow get together and create common hardware.

of course they are working on the next gen consol. they most likey started working on it even before this gen was release. and ps too

Well I for one don’t know what you’re talking about. X-Box’s upcoming Wii Would Like to Play Kinect strategy sounds great!

i really don´t care for the current generation at all.... but i just played through dino crisis 2 on my ps one :D took me about 8 hours to beat it the first time and i only got a D rank, but is had so much fun :D

It's still really really hard to get a Playstation 5 at retail, I can't imagine how many vital organs one would have to lose to get any kind of next generation hardware.

A problem with making a more powerful gaming system than what we currently have would be free space. Games on ps5 for instance can take up 300 GB which is 30 % of the free space the ps5 comes with. In other words if they are going to keep making more powerful next gen consels they need to up the storage on the newer consoles. This will also drive up the price but it is going to be needed.

If MS does ANY new hardware, try to Shrink the Series-S APU to work in a Handheld the size of a ROG ALLY, sell it for $349.99, and toss in 3-Months of GamePass. Make it Dockable, like the Switch, and offer an "upgraded" dock for $249.99 that houses a GPU similar to the Series-X, so when you dock it in that DOCK you get Series-X performance (Series-S and Series-X already have the Same CPU, so this is feasible).

They should do a lower power gaming console for classic games and originals. Pay for licenses and split profits on classic games. Cheap to develop means they can actually profit on the console.

I agree... It's actually Time to take a *STEP BACK* and reconsider what the Gaming Industry should be

I think the Xbox they are going to release is just an Xbox Series with minor improvements to make it more like a PC (faster memory, increased bandwidth for the storage, replaceable NVME), or maybe a portable backwards compatible with the Series S.

I agree. We are barely getting games that takes full advantage of the hardware. Now they expect us to buy another hardware?

They need an Xbox that’s basically in between a console and a pc

Her audience was Bloomberg - business people and investors and not the gamer... She would have been talking about the 2 year future. Also, just like when you build a skyscraper the demand for finished buildings is rarely inline with the building of one. So, if in 2 years you expect a revival of demand, you need to be designing the machine now. The head of GS is a competent party DJ, but you don't expect him to come over on an interview about the industry as a DJ (actually, you can argue he had been seen that way and it didn't help his image last year hence his current image to camera)

I think "more powerful hardware" is a hint that they are releasing a custom windows gaming PC as their next Xbox "console," that can probably allow us to install Steam, Epic Games, GOG, etc... along with the default Xbox PC app of course. It's obviously not going to be cheap, but that's why they are possibly also releasing a comparably cheaper handheld Xbox similar to a Steam deck or Switch.

Another dose of Lady Decade! ❤😊🎉

The unsettling thing about things not, as you say, settling right.. it probably indicates that the speaker is no longer the intended audience. Often, when things do not make sense, it is because one assumes that their priorities are shared by the subject. Put another way, I suspect xbox has a business/marketing plan where their current customers are no longer the ones they are interested in, and they see a new (younger) market to serve.

the Y Box?

Loving LD as of late. So good.

fun fact it doesnt cost much to create a game anymore, especially since they already have a pool of landscapes, characters, and story boards, ect. they dont even try anymore. i miss the gimmick era, when they used to add and BRAG they they had different features compared their competitors

Xbox should become a Microsoft gaming PC brand, like their Surface laptops. Have two SKUs, one high-end, and one mid-range at a lower price. They could ship them with a gaming optimized Windows 11 or 12 with an optional desktop mode for running regular PC applications.

I like that a new Xbox is coming out. According to your video you didn't mention a date or estimated time line it would come out. So I guess it really won't be for awhile until something comes out. COVID really helped video games become more lucrative.

I have a Xbox one X and I only play it for 360 games

yea i fr think instead of making a new xbox they should make more games I mean I heard about a hand-held and that is not bad but not a new like xbox series

"Current" gen consoles are quickly getting to the point of being mini-PCs with limited options to upgrade the hardware. I give it another generation or two, and we'll be offered actually mini towers with physical prevention from upgrading anything but the hard drive inside and a fancy logo slapped on the side.

Technological leap how? Larger data bus for higher resolution audio and video? Not even sure what a measure of better quality for video is these days.
