It’s confirmed: the next xbox will be a Windows PC box. It sounds very interesting that this will also be backwards compatible with Xbox games, including 360/One/Series games. I wonder if it’s just emulation, and how well that will work

    Yeah, if the Xbox Series S/X could have played my Steam library at that price, I’d have bought one in a heartbeat just to use as a gaming box.

    But they’ve already hinted that the next one will be a lot more expensive, and at that point you might as well just buy a PC…

      Yeah I have the gaming rig combined with home theater setup the xbone promised and it can be done without giving Microsoft the right to spy on me (though i will concede they make a damn good controller and I appreciate that they’re still AA operated so I can just swap out my rechargeables and keep gaming). Steam and VLC and a decent gaming rig has just been a good value for a long time
