    Gyroscope and back buttons would be nice. Maybe even a touch sensitive stick like the steam deck has. I like the shape and layout of the Xbox controllers, but they really lag behind feature wise.

      If we got a Gyroscope on Xbox, then all major controllers would have it - allowing for the possibility of cross platform games where people can use gyro ironsights to aim. That would be awesome.

      The elite controller has customizable back buttons, which are awesome.

    Gyro support wouldn’t hurt.

    Well I’ve had three of thier controllers die due to stick shift so there seems to be a fucking reason to me.

  A windows PC with a custom shell is surprisingly good for gaming. I modified my gaming machine to skip sign in, windows explorer, and a multitude of other services so it boots straight into steam big picture. My Epic, EA, and gamepass games are automatically added to Steam with proper artwork. Feels like SteamOS but with some nice things from windows like working anricheat and lossless scaling support.

    How do you skip sign in? That’s the single worst feature in windows.

  What the fuck we’re 5 years into this console gen? They didn’t even start releasing the real games yet. I can’t think of a single Xbox exclusive titles and ps5 has what, astro bot and the friggin 17th FF7 remake?

    PS5 had Spider-Man 2.

    For Xbox Series X there’s Starfield.

    For the generation as a whole, it was worth upgrading for Baldur’s Gate 3.

  Xbox lost the console wars and is retreating to PC. This makes sense

      Sony’s not doing great right now either. They’re either matching or several million units behind where they were with the PS4 at the same point in the console generation; given that their closest competition has been decimated, that’s not great for them. They don’t make games as quickly as they used to, which means they don’t make as many as they used to, and their margins are slimmer on their successes while the failures like Concord and PSVR2 hurt more. Both of those consoles are rapidly headed toward a future that only looks like personal computers for high-end gaming. Nintendo is at least mostly immune to this for at least the Switch 2 generation.

    Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

    • Hyphlosion@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      PC will never “win” a console war because it lacks the plug and play convenience of consoles.

  Sounds like I'm never going to have a reason to buy a current generation console.

  Not sure why people are acting surprised about this. The generations usually have been between 5-7 years. It will already have been five years this upcoming November. So 2027 sounds about right.
