Xbox Series S and X Thread - Backwards Compatible like no other

Its probably a licensing technicality.

Worldcall/PTCL ke server nahi hai that they will run short of space

Reminds me of the time when Sony made fun of used games just after E3.

Although the speeds are slower than PS5’s.

No longer available to purchase but you can still download it, probably gonna stay on Game Pass for a few more years too.

I guess they're clearing some server space for the next Forza Motorsport in a year or two.

It's leaving Gamepass the same day as well.

It's their excuse of licensing issues. We've all seen racing games as far as Need for Speed: Undercover(2008) to go on sale till this year( and it wasn't removed due to licensing issues).

I guess they only get a license for short term, Forza Horizon 3 was pulled from sales not too long ago.

Return of the revenue spin

"but who is gonna buy Xbox when its games are on PC"

Return of the fail train

Here's an interesting little case study

Necrokiller had a mithai ki dukaan. He made massive revenue from a series of outlets across the country, thanks in part to an on-going "buy 1 get 2 free" promotion. However, the operating expenses and the cost of producing the mithai ended up almost twice of the revenue.

Q. Was Necrokiller's business successful?
a) If your answer is yes, please explain how you determined your assessment.
b) If your answer is no, please explain what he could do to make it a success.

 

[Necrokiller]

Microsoft putting games on PC and Game Pass is hurting them in the long run, thanks to lower Xbox Live Gold and hardware revenue.

Primarily driven by $2.3bn increase in software / subscription revenue.

- Series X|S boosted hardware rev 92% YoY

Its time for CerebralTiger to open a namak ki dukaan

How do we know that Xbox is trailing behind Sony and Nintendo? Is that assessment also based on revenue figures? I think it's safe to say that this is still true given that MS doesn't share profit figures. They would've been throwing the numbers in everyone's face if they were making profits comparable to Sony or Nintendo. Though I think MS is still in the recovery phase and they might have something to show (in terms of profit) 2-3 years down the road with frequent releases of their first-party studios' games (and long-term sales of Series X/S, GPU, etc.).

 

[Chandoo]

MS hasn't shared hardware sale numbers since almost the start of the XBO generation. So the only way we're gonna find out is via insiders, we're probably never getting official numbers.

Here’s the Xbox Series S running PS1 games in 4K

Imagine a world where backward compatibility is this nice and easy

Series S and X are incredibly good emulation machines for a console. Good stuff

Did you purchased the developer account?

Did you purchased the developer account?

No, you can do it on retail as well, you gotta sign up for some dudes discord who whitelists your email so you can download the app using the console web browser.

It's .. weird .. but it works.

I got MGS1 running at 4K on the SX via Retroarch. The process definitely works.
