Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / Re: Is the Xbox Dead?
Last post by Grindspine - Today at 01:24:58 AMIn the way that Sega left the console wars to just make game software, Micro$oft is likely going to focus on the xbox gamepass service over the traditional console hardware in the upcoming generations.

Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / Re: Is the Xbox Dead?
Last post by XFaKToRX - February 13, 2026, 12:25:48 AMPossibly as a console but just evolving into something different. I think they are concentrating on cloud and other ways to play using Xbox live which might be smart considering the rising hardware prices due to AI. There are so many other ways to play Xbox live now and making a console starts them in such a deep financial hole that it is questionable if it is truly worth it anymore. Production cost this time around will be astronomical and I think that they see Steam as the blueprint for the future of Xbox. Xbox live is playable on just about anything at this point and they are building bridges to PlayStation and Nintendo because the want it there too.

Last post by mastermario - February 12, 2026, 10:19:17 PMI watched it and thought it was a really good show. You can obviously see that Patrick Stewart is aging but the show wasn't focused solely on him and he did a good job considering. I think season 2 and 3 were actually really really good. The only thing I don't like about TNG timelines is everything they've done with Data. I like that they brought back Brent Spiner but I'm not sure that was the proper use of him.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 12, 2026, 11:26:42 AMThank you @retro junkie --> That's good information to know. I am pretty tempted to go the Evercade route at this point. Although.. I might just not do anything and still look at paring down the collection. Hard to decide right now... but the Evercade Pocket is definitely drawing me.

QuoteWhat's interesting is that you'll never own the device, even after owning it for over two years

The consoles and games are funneled through certain sellers, plus there is eBay. There are some of those European sellers that just do not ship to the US because they do not want to deal with the tariffs.
But going to the Evercade site you will find plenty of US merchants selling the Blaze stuff.
SO I really don't know how that has affected any sales. I have purchased most of my stuff through Songbird and Amazon.
