Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

[PeteWorrell]

The AI freaks are killing everyone.

The irony is that Microsoft is one of the biggest culprit.

500 for an underpowered console is nuts. Sounds like Helix is in limbo, this is like the worst time to release new hardware, Steam Machine is over a grand and this Helix is supposed to be a much more powerful "hybrid"? Would not be surprised if they just throw their hands up and got out of hardware

If we’re being serious for a second, the game industry is essentially dead until neural rendering and A.I. generated code make advances.

Costs are just way too high and they’re never coming back down with the current development pipeline. Look at any AAA games end credits. It’s like 30-40 minutes. If you count it’s over 1000 names.

People are really resisting the industry pivoting to A.I. as if there’s something left to save. They just don’t want to believe it’s over. My brother, the jobs are gone and they’re never coming back, it’s over.

I'll believe it when Springsteen writes a song about it

Nah, they've signed agreements for the parts already. Next gen launches might be delayed, same goes for PS6.

I don't completely agree. Still fully think this AI bubble will burst when even the most staunchly invested realize they can't commodify AI to consumers the way they thought.

Prices might not come all the way down, but supply should improve.

The game industry is dead, meanwhile the list of titles I'm looking forward to is like 30 games long lol

It will be harder for people to buy into the hobby for a while but 90+ million people already have PS5s, there are more than enough customers to sell games to already.
