How many more Xbox generations does MS have left in the tank?

[SuperNerd3000]

This gen did some damage no doubt. I see a small recovery this upcoming gen since they seem to have smartened up and have something to prove, one more console after that which will have near-moderate success if only because first party output will be weak -- and then I think MS bows out manufacturing consoles. So I think two, including next gen.

Either on the fly steaming becomes a thing on anything with a screen after that and Xbox becomes a competitive streaming brand or PlayStation dominates the hardcore console space for the foreseeable future without competition.

Imagine asking this of Sony in 2007 or Nintendo in 2014

lol

Come on OP. They can afford to flop 5 generations and still be fine. They just invested In studios and have more money than 99% of companies on this planet. They have plenty left in the tank.

Thread should be locked.

Nice concern trolling.

I don't see Xbox going anywhere for a while, especially given their recent investment in first-party. If they're around long enough, they'll inevitably move away from traditional consoles, and transition into entirely online cloud streaming set-ups.

How can we possibly know...

who knows

They'll keep making them so long as there is a market for dedicated gaming devices. Xbox is profitable, right? They haven't sold as well as they did last gen, but they didn't have a red ring o' death this gen either.

Lol what a thread by the OP.. smdh

 

[HardTimesFamilyPride]

Still can't get over this obsession with gens that people have

Integration with the Windows platform could potentially make Xbox more viable than before

What sort of discussion is OP expecting to be had in this thread?

 

[IIFloodyII]

It makes money and benefits Windows so probably a few more at least. At that point we'll probably be mostly streaming too I'd guess.

 

[Jayson's Rage]

Small recovery? Is this a troll thread? Or are you just high on corporate loyalty?

Why is the sky blue?

Why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept???

 

[SnatcherHunter]

Hahahaha
This can't be a serious thread.

Op be like

 

[Xeontech]

As soon as internet and streaming infrastructure allow for a seamless experience, generations for all platforms will be a thing of the past.

There will only be Playstation gaming network, and Xbox gaming network etc. they have already started the process.

As long as they forsee it as a profitable market, presumably. MS are successful enough in their other endeavours that a console underperforming for a gen probably isn't going to make much of an impact on the overall health of the company.

Thanks for being concerned about Xbox OP. Not enough people are here.

Only thing missing from OP's post is a Kratos avatar

It's highly unlikely a thread like this would produce anything other than system warring, so it is closed to further replies. Fearmongering over consoles is not productive.
