Publishers Not Sure If They Should Keep Making Xbox Games - Lemmy.World

>Reportedly, some third-party video game publishers aren’t sure why they should keep making and supporting games for Xbox consoles due to poor sales in Europe.

Microsoft’s biggest mistake was making the S and not going all in on the X. Having two hardware specs makes developers lives so much harder and leaves a big chunk of the console base with poor specs you have to optimise the hell out of your build for. Whereas Sony put a single target platform in everyone’s hands.
I liked the Series S! Though, I would have bought the Series X instead if it was discless.
Please don’t take this as me being a dick, I’m genuinely curious. Why not just get a Series X and not buy disks?
Moving parts are the bane of engineering; introducing a lot of risk into the equation. It’s why we want to move off hard disc drives to SSDs. It’s also electronics waste to buy a component you’re not using.
