What's the point of the xbox anymore?

What's the point of the xbox anymore?

Attached: halo-mcc-pc-1.png (800x471, 83K)

the fact that steam users get access to xbox live for free while xboners have to pay for it still is fucking hilarous

just hope they dont fuck up this MCC like the last time. Maybe microsoft is just ditching xbox for PC

Xbone is the Wii U of the Xbox brand. Next gen will be good though

You will find out on the 21st, my dude.

Subsidizing PC games

So what info did we get today?

The Xbox brand has lost money for the last three generations, so they're basically doing the pseudo-third party thing now out of necessity. The heads of the Xbox division know full well that they can't compete with Sony and Nintendo in the conventional sense, so they're going full-throttle at streaming and this GAMES AS A SERVICE lark to presumably build themselves up before Google and Amazon enter the arena in the next few years.

I FUCKING NEED IT AAAAGGGGHHH

The same reason multiplats sell more on consoles than PC: people enjoy videogames differently than you do

Yeah but they sell more on the PS4 than the xbox lmao.

good joke

they're having beta tests and releasing the games one at a time so its clear that they don't want another MCC xbone launch blunder

Pc users always had free Xbox Live.
"Xbox Live Gold" is the paid service.

thats highly inflated by the sports community which primarily use ps4 tho

Microsoft couldn't even port it xbox to xbox what the hell makes you think they can do it on pc?

doorstop

RELEASE DATE WHEN

This

If Halo CE and Halo 2 on PC didn't affect Xbox 360 sales this won't affect it either.
