Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead

I never upgraded from the Xbox One and haven’t one felt like I’ve missed anything this entire generation.
My next console will be either a steam deck or just a living room PC running Linux.
It’s not in the budget right now though, so it depends what’s available when I decide to pull the trigger

Quick resume is pretty much the only thing about the Series X that has stood out for me. It’s nice being able to hop into multiple games without waiting for loads and being right back where you left off. It’s by no means a must have though. It’s way better than the PS5’s equivalent.

That is actually one of the things that is actually just a Windows detriment. Linux, including the steam deck, can just go to sleep in the middle of the game and bring you right back to where you were when putting it to sleep.
Funnily enough, if this new XBox is Windows based, they are going to lose this ability.

What they’re describing isn’t just going to sleep, but putting a game on pause, doing whatever else you want (such as playing a different game) and then resuming exactly where you left off.
It’s basically just dumping the RAM to a file and loading it later, same as an emulator save state.
