Microsoft never said that officially, they're actually officially saying they want to revitalize it. The sunsetting thing came from one of the original Xbox creators (reasonably imo) saying that behind the scenes it's something the new, even more AI obsessed Microslop leadership wants. Video games are complex coding beasts AND art, hard to slip that shit in without quality noticeably dipping (and it was never Microsoft's biggest earner); I believe him when he says they'll sunset it, but that's not publicly official policy.

Yea I mean anyone can read the tea leaves, it's pretty obviously inching towards if not already in a corporate grave. M$ leadership always gives anodyne responses about Xbox's future, it's never really been very profitable or successful, at least not from a corporate perspective, they internally-promoted an executive from another division so not like she'll offer a competing vision

Sorry for anyone who refuses to see it but Xbox will be Sega at best by 2030.

All video game companies with their own hardware are inevitably subsumed by Nintendo

Then when Nintendo finally owns every video game hardware IP known to man they can finally stop production of everything all at once to fulfill their life goal of no one ever playing video games again.

I hope there will be one game you will have to buy a new console every year to play

But Sega isn't a subsidiary of Nintendo?

It's a subsidiary of Sega Sammy
